  5 II   |              which was imposed upon man when it was said to the
  6 III  |       God-Man, in His Divinity, and man, in his humanity. Mary is
  7 III  |            the Mother of God and of man; as thou art the Mother
  8 III  |         this name." Now the soul of man is the handmaid who in this

 20 VII  |            VII, 19 f.) This is that Man of whom Jeremias saith: "
 21 VII  |             woman shall encompass a man" (XXXI, 32.) The woman is
 22 VII  |        namely, the rational soul of man. But alas! this Man, the
 23 VII  |         soul of man. But alas! this Man, the Lord of hosts, had
 24 VII  |              Ps. CXVIII, 155.) This Man was not in His house when
 25 VII  |             the world. But lo! this Man came back on the day of
 26 VII  |          fullness of this moon, the Man came back to his house,

 29 VII  |           the lock of virginity; no man had passed through it by
 30 VIII |               IX, 17.) And the Wise Man: "The Lord of all things
 31 IX   |           of rational creatures, as man, the rational creature himself,
 32 IX   |             God will not except any man's person, neither will he
 33 IX   |         will he stand in awe of any man's greatness, for He made
 34 IX   |       benefit which she bestowed on man? St. Bernard says: "The

 36 XI   |            in which it was said: "A man is conceived," said: "Let
 37 XI   |          cursed, the night in which man was conceived, is original
 38 XI   |        without any intercourse with man, and might bring forth a
 39 XI   |          holiness, without which no man shall see God" (Hebr. XII,
 40 XI   |          night and the sun, between man and God, between unjust
 41 XI   |             and God, between unjust man and just God; she is the
 42 XI   |             bears witness, saying: "Man now has secure access to
 43 XI   |            the angels, and men. For man by sin had offended his
 44 XI   |            the Virgin Mary herself, man received the angelic benediction.
 45 XI   |         this blessing of the Virgin man obtains the blessing of
 46 XII  |           of her house, she whom no man could see, he found her
 47 XIII |         moon in whose fullness that Man returned to the Church of
 48 XIII |            fecundity, when not mere man alone, nor a real angel,
 49 XIII |         Virgin had conceived a mere man; but it would have been
 50 XIV  |             grace makes the mind of man delightful as the paradise
 51 XIV  |          the Lord, by the Angel, by man. Because of her Child she
 52 XIV  |            her blessing; blessed by man, who prophesies her blessing.
 53 XIV  |            brought forth not a mere man, not an angel, but the Lord
 54 XIV  |     announcing her blessing, but by man prophesying her blessing.
 55 XIV  |             all women, who knew not man, yet encompassed a Man in
 56 XIV  |          not man, yet encompassed a Man in her womb!" Behold we
 57 XIV  |            the manifold mercy which man received through her; blessed
 58 XIV  |          induced to be favorable to man; blessed is she also, because
 59 XIV  |           she also, because by her, man was made acceptable to God;
 60 XIV  |          induced to be favorable to man, as is signified in the
 61 XIV  |         Lord was offended by guilty man. David was appeased by the
 62 XIV  |            and reconciled to guilty man by Mary. Abigail appeased
 63 XIV  |         former averted the sword of man, the latter, that of God.
 64 XIV  |             by her God's wrath with man was appeased, but also because
 65 XIV  |             but also because by her man was made acceptable to God,
 66 XIV  |      acceptable to God, inasmuch as man was blessed because of her
 67 XIV  |           has been appeased towards man, but also because by her
 68 XIV  |            been rendered subject to man. She is, therefore, signified
 69 XIV  |             God is appeased towards man.; Blessed art thou, because
 70 XIV  |           art thou, because by thee man is made pleasing to God;
 71 XIV  |            the devil is overcome by man. Alas, how far from this
 72 XIV  |           Mary: God, the Angel, and man. God the Father indeed blessed
 73 XIV  |             third, all blessed her. Man also has blessed Mary; the
 74 XV   |      blessed who had known no other man than her husband; it is
 75 XV   |             his death had known any man. It is meet and just that
 76 XV   |         knew her own, nor any other man, yet conceived a Man so
 77 XV   |          other man, yet conceived a Man so supreme. Therefore St.
 78 XV   |            above women, who knew no man, yet encompassed a man in
 79 XV   |           no man, yet encompassed a man in her womb!"~Thus, therefore,
 80 XVII |         from the handmaid, God from man, the Son from the Mother,
 81 XVII |       Canticle of Canticles: "Every man bringeth for the fruit thereof
 82 XVII |            of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things" (
 83 XVII |          fly lust. Of this the Wise Man says: "Happy is the barren;
 84 XVII |         woman to conceive without a man, than that Mary could sin."
 85 XVIII|            suffered that the sin of man might be taken away. For,
 86 XVIII|             existed between God and man, between angels and men.
 87 XVIII|         also was made peace between man, who is far distant in this
 88 XVIII|            this fruit is peace from man to man, peace from man to
 89 XVIII|          fruit is peace from man to man, peace from man to the angel,
 90 XVIII|         from man to man, peace from man to the angel, and peace
 91 XVIII|           and peace between God and man. What wonder if by this
 92 XVIII|             wonder if by this fruit man has peace with God, when
 93 XVIII| peace-giving Fruit, is both God and man? Bede gives testimony to
 94 XVIII|          wound of original sin; for man, falling among thieves,
 95 XVIII|           Judge, which every unjust man has to fear, in the same
 96 XVIII|          the same way as every just man has by right that by which
 97 XVIII|            said in the Canticle: "A man shall give for this fruit
 98 XVIII|           XVIII, 20.) He is truly a man who has such virility as
 99 XVIII|          virility as this; and this man ought manfully, for the
100 XVIII|            the Psalm of the perfect man: "And he shall be like a
101 XVIII|          streams of grace, by which man gives or produces his fruit,
102 XVIII|       signified which accompany the man who has this fruit. It belongs
103 XVIII|          unto good." Blessed is the man who shall have borne this
104 XVIII|      supreme enmity between God and man; thirdly, to heal the wound
