receiued from ADAM not only in her conceiuing of CHRIST but also from her first immaculate conception when beeing free from Originall sinne shee was also exempted from the sequell therof which the Diuines call fomes peccati so that in all her life the inferior powers of her soule coulde neuer be moued without the direction of reason 9 As her life was more holy thē euer of any other creature so did she abound with more heauenly visitations then euer was graunted vnto any being cōtinually garded waited vpon with Angells yea Exe. 33. 2. Cor. 12 if vnto S. PAVL MOISES was shewed in this life the very essence and glory of God as the Diuines after S. AVGVSTINE other holy Fathers doe more probably iudge then must we also for the rule aforesaid not doubt but vnto this Virgin the same priuiledge at some time or other was graunted which so great gifts of God she alwaies concealed with vnspeakeable humilitie preferring her selfe to no creature but alwaies ready to become the seruant of all 10 She was the first which vowed vnto God her virginity that without any insttuctions of any as well as without example 11 She had by the special work of God ioined with her vnspeakable virginitie the fecunditie of a mother and whatsoeuer is perfit in mariage vnto which she yeelded her selfe not purposing to diminish her sacred puritie but by most certaine reulation assuringe her selfe of the perpetuety therof that so the sonne of God might be borne in wedlocke shee preserued from infamie and so great a misterie of the incarnatiō of our Sauiour Christ concealed from the Deuill and there should not wāt vnto her selfe and her sonne in this miserable life the necessarie comfort of a fosterer Saint IOSEPH her spouse whō presently after the mariage shee caused to vow also virginitie making them selues a perfect paterne of so many couples as by theire example haue in the Church of Christ vndertaken the same 12 She by her holines and singuler perfectiō deserued that the sonne of God should be incarnat and take flesh in her immaculate wombe for this word of deseruing or meriting doth S.

Pet. 5 had not bene so worthely disposed as in deed shee was for so great a sacrament Almightie God would not haue sent his Sonne For as he had ordained before all the world the most holy incarnation of his only sonne so had he also ordaind togither with the priuiledges of the humane nature of his sonne the dignitie of her from whō he was to take the same Yet do I not say that Gods prouidence coulde be deceaued herin but that he would with the same foresight prouide both the end and the means of so great an end And as our sauiour him selfe whatsoeuer he did for our saluation although he did it with order and commaundmēt from his Father yet he did it voluntarily and freelye Euen so shee which was thought fitte of God him selfe for so greate a worke although Almightie God him selfe was the chiefe author of her worthinesse yet did she freely and voluntarily concurre vnto our redēption by making her selfe with Gods especiall grace a fitte mother for our Redeemer Whereby we learne what deuotion reuerence and gratfulnes we shoulde carry to so great a benefactrice 13 The plenitude of time which God in his eternall wisdome had ordained beeing now come the Angell GABRIEL commeth to bring her these ioifull tidings with great reuerence as not presuming to call her by her proper name saith vnto her Haile full of grace when she nothing frighted with the sight of a yong man for such figure the Angell bore as one much accustomed to the conuersation of Angells was only amazed with such honorable speaches yet beeing certified by the Angell of what God had determined of her of the saftie and securitie of her vowed Virginitie she freely gaue her consent But what consent Such a consent as brought the Sonne of God into the world He. 4. super Missus est For as S.
