Lesson 1. which says thus of S. Anne Ex hac clavis David Sc. Maria est fabricata per quam paradisi porta cunctis iterum est patefacta Ex hac est plenitudo gratiae nata gloriosa semper Virgo Maria quae dedit coelis gloriam terris contulit Deum pacem refudit fidem Gentibus dilatavit finem vitiis posuit vitae ordinem moribus disciplinam donavit Out of her the Key of David viz. Mary was framed by which the Gate of Paradise is again opened to all Of her was born the fulness of Grace the ever-Virgin Mary who gave to the Heavens Glory bestowed God on Earth and poured out Peace spread the Faith among the Gentiles put an end to Vices gave Order to our Life and discipline to our Manners It is a strange hard Figure that can make these many things which the Scripture attributes to Christ and by which it sets forth his glorious Power in the Work of our Redemption and Salvation become fit to be applied to the blessed Virgin.
