  2 Prol |     render thee thanks for thy so great benefits. But I am unable
  3 Prol |        hear Jerome, a man of such great worth, hesitate ? For he
  4 Prol |          and receive her with the great affection and devotion that
  5 Prol |     cannot suffice to speak of so great a gift of God; and yet we
  6 Prol |           presumed to offer to so great a Queen this poor script
  7 Prol |        the simpler lovers of this great Queen should in some imperfect
  8 Prol |       manner perceive who and how great she is. And because this

 10 II   |       immense bonfire made in the great conflagration of the damned.
 11 II   |            was prepared by God so great a glory in Heaven, and as
 12 II   |         in Heaven, and as she was great and garbed in merit, so
 13 II   |        garbed in merit, so is she great in her reward. She herself
 14 II   |       reward. She herself is that great throne of which it is said: "
 15 II   |          King Solomon also made a great throne of ivory" (3 Kings
 16 II   |         is the Throne of Solomon, great in grace and glory. St.
 17 II   |        Mary obtained on earth, so great a degree of singular glory
 18 II   |            forever, and think how great is the duration of these
 19 III  |          she is most worthy, most great; Mary is purer than the

 22 III  |          a title well becometh so great an empress, who is in very
 23 III  |           devout Anselm saith: "O great Lady, to whom the joyful
 24 III  |         whom she dominates by her great power. So great a Lady,
 25 III  |  dominates by her great power. So great a Lady, of such great power,
 26 III  |          So great a Lady, of such great power, deserves to be loved
 27 III  |       says: "Thee, O Lady so very great, my heart desireth to love,
 28 IV   |       things, you may realize how great was the poverty of Mary,
 29 IV   |          poor, may receive thence great consolation."~Most certainly,
 30 V    |         grace which could fill so great a capacity, should also
 31 V    |   Understand, prudent Virgin, how great and what special grace thou
 32 V    |           finder, Mary, who is so great in this world, so great
 33 V    |           great in this world, so great in Heaven! No pure creature
 34 V    |         it is said in the Psalm: "Great is the Lord and great is
 35 V    |             Great is the Lord and great is His strength" (Ps. CXLVI.)
 36 V    |     teachers and pastors? O truly great grace of Mary, by which
 37 V    |          indeed can calculate how great in Mary herself was this
 38 VI   |       wonder if in that rod is so great an affluence of the Gifts
 39 VI   |       Lord." On this flower was a great abundance of the Holy Spirit,
 40 VI   |          these seven pillars with great ardor and much prayer. Likewise,
 41 VI   |           name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the
 42 VI   |    conceive in the womb." Oh, how great and how unheard-of in all
 43 VI   |   wonderful above measure that so great a privilege should be granted
 44 VI   |         and of the Judge. It is a great privilege that she is more
 45 VI   |          us for Mary to have such great power if she cared nothing
 46 VI   |            you have seen with how great grace of gifts Mary is enriched,
 47 VI   |        Mary is enriched, with how great grace of the lips, with
 48 VI   |       grace of the lips, with how great privileges, with how abundant
 49 VII  |           inundation of grace, so great was its depth and magnitude
 50 VII  |           deeply and see with how great a depth of devotion He wishes
 51 VII  |           such riches and with so great gifts that it is said: "
 52 VIII |       tell us, in what measure, O great Gabriel, thou bringest tidings
 53 VIII |        thou bringest tidings of a great thing to the great Mary
 54 VIII |           of a great thing to the great Mary from the great God!
 55 VIII |           the great Mary from the great God! But tell us, in what

 58 VIII |         it is said in the Psalm, "Great is our Lord, and great is
 59 VIII |            Great is our Lord, and great is His strength, and of
 60 VIII |       Behold, Mary, how rich, how great is He who is with thee !
 61 VIII |        ever." Behold, O Mary, how great a Lord, how unfailing a
 62 IX   |    eternal ones, which out of his great mercy He has bestowed upon
 63 IX   |        were not ungrateful for so great mercies ! Would that to
 64 IX   |           made the little and the great, and He hath equally care
 65 IX   |     renowned for fame. He is of a great name, as St. Jerome testifies,
 66 IX   |         like to Thee, O Lord, and great art Thou, and great is Thy

 69 IX   |       indeed of great fame and of great praise among all peoples,
 70 IX   |           2.) Behold, O Mary, how great a Lord, what a renowned
 71 IX   |     testifies to this, saying: "O great, O loving, O most praiseworthy
 72 X    |       kindness by the latter; for great as the mercy of Mary was
 73 X    |           to her neighbor. Of how great sweetness and beauty is
 74 X    |     Therefore, O Lady, because so great a Lord is in such a manner
 75 XI   |         consent to sin, alas, how great evils these wicked ones
 76 XII  |       Virgin, sublime rod, to how great a height thou raisest thy

 79 XIII |         could have opposed such a great queen advancing with so
 80 XIII |           queen advancing with so great a retinue ? She was prefigured
 81 XIII |    Entering into Jerusalem with a great train, and riches, and camels
 82 XIV  |    blessed thee forever." Oh, how great a grace was on the lips
 83 XIV  |     useful conversations! Oh, how great a grace was always on the
