Chapter

  1 Prol |      praise, and am ashamed to put forth that which is unworthy."~
  2 Prol |          in types and figures, set forth and described by Evangelists,
  3 I    |         five sweet phrases are set forth, in which are contained
  4 I    |          the world, having brought forth the most excellent and powerful
  5 II   |          misery of them that bring forth, and from the misery of
  6 II   |         the woe of them that bring forth is the woe of the pains
  7 II   |          misery of them that bring forth is that original curse pronounced
  8 II   |     against Eve, "Thou shalt bring forth children in sorrow" (Gen.
  9 II   |           be said to all who bring forth what the Lord said to some
 10 II   |           are with child and bring forth in those days" (Matt. XXIV,
 11 II   |          she conceived and brought forth, as St. Augustine testifies,
 12 II   |           and without pain brought forth Healing." Because she was
 13 II   |        this woe of them that bring forth, therefore is Mary saluted
 14 III  |     through whom such grace flowed forth upon all ! For St. Augustine
 15 III  |           and hast merited to pour forth upon the whole world."~Consider,
 16 III  |           of the sea, hath brought forth for us." Very properly is
 17 III  |           radiant star by bringing forth eternal light; a most useful
 18 III  |         eternal light and bringing forth the Son of God. For she
 19 III  |       world, whose splendor shines forth in the highest, and penetrates
 20 III  |           radiant one, by bringing forth the Son of God.~Thirdly,
 21 III  |       Psalm: "Thou didst lead them forth in a pillar of cloud." Mary
 22 III  |          power the Lord shall send forth." The rod of power is the
 23 III  |        Isaias: "There shall spring forth a rod from the root of Jesse."
 24 IV   |           those whom He met coming forth from the sepulcher, saying
 25 IV   |          such favor as we have set forth, rightly do we call upon
 26 V    |          was most copiously poured forth on her. Therefore St. Bernard,
 27 V    |          and justice, which looked forth from Heaven." Whoever, therefore,
 28 V    |            the earth which brought forth for us that fruit of which
 29 V    |    turpentine tree, have stretched forth my branches, and my branches
 30 V    |           mercies St. Bernard sets forth, saying: "Mary has opened
 31 V    |            the female, that brings forth fruit. So that fruit of
 32 V    |          Jesus Christ, was brought forth, not by a man, but by a
 33 V    |           concupiscence, and bring forth a man without a man."~Fourthly,
 34 V    |            conception and bringing forth, while miraculously the
 35 V    |    miraculously the virgin brought forth, and more miraculously conceived
 36 V    | miraculously conceived and brought forth God.~Therefore is it well
 37 VI   |          Isaias: "There shall come forth a rod from the root of Jesse,
 38 VI   |          should conceive and bring forth the Son of the Most High.
 39 VI   |            that, while she brought forth the slayer of sin and death,
 40 VI   |         doubt that she who brought forth the price by which all were
 41 VI   |        will the body which brought forth Him who is the Glorifier
 42 VI   |            soul of her who brought forth in this world the soul of
 43 VII  |           a singular grace brought forth that same Wisdom, covered
 44 VII  |        moved by our prayers, pours forth graces upon us."~Thirdly,
 45 VII  |           earth be opened, and bud forth a savior!" What more lowly
 46 VII  |         embrace; the Lord God came forth through her by a singular
 47 VII  |            the virtues, there came forth from her a most sweet odor,
 48 IX   |         hast most faithfully stood forth as mediatrix between the
 49 X    |            is not she, who brought forth Christ, the mother of all
 50 XI   |            Who is this, who cometh forth," etc. Fitly is she compared
 51 XI   |          with man, and might bring forth a child without the usual
 52 XI   |     justice, who was about to come forth from her, deigned to irradiate
 53 XI   |        light of this morning shone forth wonderfully when the Sun
 54 XI   |            daughter of David bring forth without seed."~Fourthly,
 55 XI   |     Genesis: "The river which came forth from the paradise of pleasure (
 56 XI   |            because of the bringing forth of the Sun of justice in
 57 XI   |            and when He was brought forth, nourished and nursed Him,
 58 XI   |           lightsome like stars, go forth from our bodies and fly
 59 XI   |           star that ever will come forth in the heavens, the most
 60 XI   |           before God, thou shinest forth gloriously in Heaven by
 61 XII  |          Isaias: "There shall come forth a rod from the root of Jesse,
 62 XII  |          thyself, who hast brought forth the Lord, art of the land
 63 XII  |          hast flowered and brought forth." For Mary is a rod smoking
 64 XII  |            said: "There shall come forth a rod from the root of Jesse,
 65 XII  |       beautifully this flower came forth, being born without sin,
 66 XII  |             Like a flower he goeth forth and is crushed." Oh, how
 67 XII  |             how white in His going forth, and how ruddy in His bruising
 68 XII  |          her integrity in bringing forth her Son, because she begot
 69 XIII |        Heaven, because she brought forth the King of angels." I have
 70 XIII |          find Mary going in, going forth, going on, and going above.
 71 XIII |         and going above. Her going forth was of nature, her progress
 72 XIII |         was in abundance.~She went forth by being born, she progressed
 73 XIII |          by her sanctity. She went forth without sin, she made progress
 74 XIII |            that we find Mary going forth into the world by her nativity
 75 XIII |             Who is she that cometh forth as the rising dawn, fair
 76 XIII |        excellent perfections shine forth in her. Resplendent virginity
 77 XIII |             in her virginity shone forth fecundity, and in her fecundity
 78 XIII |         and in her fecundity shone forth a singular pre-eminence.
 79 XIII |       virgin conceived and brought forth God. Well, therefore, doth
 80 XIII |           with all its bands, came forth rejoicing in festive array,
 81 XIII |             conceived, and brought forth, according to that word: "
 82 XIII |           shall conceive and bring forth a son." And it was not this
 83 XIII |         that a virgin should bring forth a son, but that she should
 84 XIII |          but that she should bring forth God. Therefore, St. Jerome
 85 XIII |           So, therefore, Mary went forth, and advanced, and entered
 86 XIII |          went beyond all. She went forth, I say, by coming into this
 87 XIV  |           of God, who hast brought forth to the world the Tree of
 88 XIV  |          the life of all hath come forth! St. Augustine says: "Blessed
 89 XIV  |            women, who hast brought forth life to men and women."~
 90 XIV  |            her who is to bring Him forth. Because of thy Child, thou
 91 XIV  |            art blessed in bringing forth; because of thy Child, thou
 92 XIV  |         art blessed after bringing forth. Truly blessed art thou,
 93 XIV  |          thou, who hast so brought forth thy Child that before His
 94 XIV  |          because thou hast brought forth not a mere man, not an angel,
 95 XIV  |        womb the Fruit of life came forth to all believers." O field
 96 XIV  |            which thou hast brought forth, that He who through thee
 97 XV   |      humility of Mary, who brought forth the Lord to men, gave life
 98 XV   |       flame, blessed Mary bringing forth so blessed a Child. "From
 99 XV   |            whose virginal bringing forth the curse of the first mother
100 XV   |            gluttony of Eve brought forth a curse not only in the
101 XV   |            greedy Eve was to bring forth in pain; the blessing of
102 XV   |        temperate Mary was to bring forth without pain, as St. Bernard
103 XV   |            sorrow thou shalt bring forth children,' and yet at the
104 XV   |           remain sterile nor bring forth in sorrow."~Seventhly, let
105 XV   |         virgin as merited to bring forth God, and to do this in such
106 XVI  |            from the earth, brought forth a Son, co-equal indeed in
107 XVI  |        virginity which brought Him forth," says St. Augustine, "and
108 XVI  |             O Virgin, hast brought forth." Thou, therefore, O Mary,
109 XVI  |            year, and it will bring forth the fruit of three years" (
110 XVI  |           year, therefore, brought forth the Fruit, the Son of God-a
111 XVII |            says: 'There shall come forth a rod from the root of Jesse,
112 XVII |          the fruit of Him who came forth from the womb of Mary."
113 XVII |           to St. Luke: "They bring forth fruit in patience." As this
114 XVIII|           purge, that he may bring forth more fruit."~Secondly, the
115 XVIII|            from the earth, brought forth a Son in divinity indeed,
116 XVIII|           and the tree has brought forth its fruit." It is a desert
117 XVIII|        without culture, and brings forth food for animals. This desert
118 XVIII|            marital culture brought forth a Son, who is the food of
119 XVIII|        said: "And the tree brought forth its fruit" (Joel II, 22.)
120 XVIII|           because truth has sprung forth from the earth."~Sixthly,
121 XVIII|            tree, that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut
122 XVIII|        womb the Fruit of life came forth to believers, and all of
123 XVIII|          me, what fruit shall come forth from me, how great and how
124 XVIII|       plant it, and it shall shoot forth into branches, and shall
