¶
Seconde
I
say
/
this

was
an
acte
or
dede
of
the
almyghty
power
of

For
as
in
creacyon
of

all
thynges
were
made
at
goddis
o●nly
worde
and
commaundement
/
Soo
this
acte
of
Incarnacyon
was
accomplysshed
at
hys
worde
.
The
angell
sayenge
vnto
our
lady
(
Hayle
ful
of

our

)
For
at
goddys
power
:
is
no
worde
impossyble
.
the
fyrste
chapytre
of
Iohn
/
All
be
it
in
this

was
had
consent
of
the

/
sayeug
to
Gabriell
Beholde
me
the
hondmayde
of

:
I
am
contented
.
Be
thy
worde
in

fulfillyd
.
In
sygne
that
this
acte
was
partly
preiudic●all
to
nature
.
syth
it
was
don
by
the
almyghty

therfore
sayd
she
(
Ecce

commyttynge
her
wyll
fully

the

So
that
this
holy
chylde
.
Ihus
Cryste
in
his
temporall
byrth
.
was
create
by
god
:
&
yet
the
naturall
sone
of
the
holy
vyrgyn
Mary
.
And
she
is
naturall
moder
.
god
supplied
the
offyce
of
the
naturall
fader
/
not
by
mynystracyon
of
the
sede
of
man
:
but
rather
excercysynge
the
almyghty
power
of

the
creatour
.
She
dide
the
offyce
of
a
naturall

.
after

in

the
purest

¶
Thyrde
is
here
to
be
shewed
.
how
in
this

.
our
Ihus
our

nyghed
vnto
mankynde

Where
ye

vn●stonde
That
in

more
Intrinsecally

more
inwardly

ye
and
more
thankfully
nyghed
vnto
mankynde
/
than
euer
he
dyde
before
his
Incarnacyon
/
For
where
as
is
aboue
shewed
That
in
all
his
nyghynge
vnto
man
before
his
Incarnacyon
he
lefte
contynually
tokens
in

that
he
had

him

as
his

his

as
is
aboue
shewed
/
&
yet
hath
man
contynually
be
waywarde
vnto
god
and
declyned
from
hym
.
So
it
is
that
in
this
acte
of
Incarnacyon
.
he
lefte
hymself
for
a
token
wyth
man
/
For
in
takynge
our

in
to
the
vnyte
of
his

:
he
vouchydsauf
to
Ioyne
hymselfe
to

and
man
to
him
.
that
for
euer
after
it
sholde
be
true
.
that
god
is

and
man
is

For
as
