Ladie VVhen the Apostles according to their function preach the Gospel of Christ and trauel in gaining soules in diuers and specially in these parts of the vvorld Peter first in lurie then in Syria Antioche and other places finally in Italie Andrew in Achaia Iames the greater in Spaine Iohn in Asia Thomas in India Iames the lesse in Ierusalem Philip in Phrygia Bartholomew in Scythia Matthew in Aethiopia Simon in Persia Thadaeus in Mesopotamia Matthias in Palestina Paul in most parts of the world the whole Church floorishing in al kinds of vertue aboue al others the most sacred virgin the mother of God excelleth vvho albe it so excellently endued with diuine knowlege that she teacheth the Euangelists manie things concerning our Sauiours Incarnation Natiuitie education and other like Mysteries best knowne to her of al mortal persons yet being a vvoman and most humble of al creatures she neither preacheth openly nor conuerseth with manie but liueth in priuate state in cōtinual exercise of al vertues leauing in the world by her vvhole life a most perfect Rule and liuely example to al those that desire to tend towards perfection 1. Aue Maria. After our Lords A scension his B. mother our Ladie being more frie then euer before from vvorldly cares imployeth her selfe vvholy to deuotion S. Iohn the Euāgelist prouiding for her al necessaries temporal and spiritual 2. Aue Maria. After fifteene yeares more expectation it is reueled to the sacred virgin that she shal change her mortal life for life immortal and so enioy the euerlasting fruition of her blessed sonne 3. Aue Maria. She humbly beseketh her sonne our Lord that he vvil voutchsafe to graunt her the sight of his Apostles before she part out of this transitorie life 4. Aue Maria.

The Apostles and other Apostolical men being thus met together the most holie soule of the sacred virgin sweetly parting from the bodie ascendeth into heauen with à troupe of glorious Angels 6. Aue Maria. Her sacred bodie of which God tooke flesh is most honorably buried in Gethsemani with Apostolical and Angelical musike most heauenly melodie 7. Aue Maria.

Aue Maria. To satisfie his deuote desire they opē the sepulchre Where finding only the linnen most sweete and fragrant in vvhich the holie bodie had bene wrapped the bodie it selfe can nowhere be found in earth 10.

Mysterium gloriosum 5. PATER NOSTER The Coronation of our B. Ladie THE Apostles are againe restored to the places from whence they were brought and by them and others the death and Assumption of the most immaculate virgin mother of God is denounced in al parts of the world And so beginneth more and more to be fulfilled that prophecie of hers saying FROM HENCE FORTH AL GENERATIONS SHAL CAL ME BLESSED For euen from her Assumptiō the whole Church of Christ begā as stil it cōtinueth most solemly to celebrate not only the ascēding of her most holie soul into heauen as of other Saincts but also the resurrection assumption and
lake called Limbus Patrum by whose presence the soules of the Saincts of the old Testament hitherto kept in darcknes are replenished with most cleare light incomparable gladnes and ioy receiuing their long expected beatitude vvhich consisteth in the vision of God And so our Sauiour there performeth that which he promised the penitent thefe saying This day thou shall be vvith me in Paradise The third day shortly after midnight as the ancient Fathers of the Church do thinke the same most glorious soule returning into the bodie both together making à perfect man cometh forth of the graue vvithout opening the same And by and by an Angel descending from heauen remoueth the stone from the doore of the monument and sitteth theron Wherat the vvatchmen are frighted and running into the cittie tel the High Priests that vvhich had happened Who ●ssembling together vvith the Elders in ●ouncel geue à great summe of money to ●●e souldiars to say that his disciples came ●y night and stole him away vvhen they ●vere a sleepe 1. Aue Maria. In the meane time our glorious Sauiour appeareth to his deare mother before al others meriting this consolation As al godlie Christians may easely conceiue though the same as needles be not recorded in the vvritten Gospel 2. Aue Maria. To holie Magdalē and other two cōming to annoint the bodie an Angel testifieth that he is risen she runneth to tel the Apostles and returneth vvith them they departing againe our Lord appeareth to her 3. Aue Maria. He appeareth againe to holie Magdalene and to the other two returning homewards they adore him and he biddeth them go tel his disciples that they shal see him in Galilee 4. Aue Maria. The same day he appeareth to S. Peter and confirmeth him in faith Perhaps also to S. Iohn for his consolation for he after he sawe the sepulchre beleeued Ioan. 20. 5. Aue Maria. Likewise our Sauiour appeareth to S Iames the iust called our Lords brother as it is most like the same day for it is said the after the chalice of our Lord he did neither eat nor drinke til he had seene him risen from death 6. Aue Maria. The same day he appeareth to tvvo disciples going towards Emaus talking of him but not beleeuing his Resurrection til hauing inuited him as à stranger they knowe him in breaking of bread 7. Aue Maria. Also the same euening our Lord appeareth to tenne of the Apostles gathered together the doores being shutt Only Thomas being absent wil not beleue the rest of the Apostles telling him that they had seene our Lord. 8. Aue Maria. The eight day our Lord appeareth again to the eleuen Apostles and saith to Thomas Put here thy finger into the holes of my hands and thy hand into my side and be not incredulous but faithful Thomas answereth MY LORD AND MY GOD. 9. Aue Maria. Againe our lord appeareth to Peter Iames Iohn Thomas Nathanael and other two at the sea of Tiberias There he maketh Peter his Vicar general in earth and chiefe Pastor of his Church vvithal fortelling him that he shal be crucified 10. Aue Maria. He appeareth againe to the eleuen in Galilee where he commandeth them to preach the Gospel and minister the Sacraments in al the world promising to assist them by his Spirite til the worlds end 2. Mysterium gloriosum 2. PATER NOSTER The Ascension of our Lord. HOw oftē and to what persons our Lord and Sauiour appeared betwen his Resurrection and Ascension besides the apparitions here to fore mentioned is vnknowne to al mortal creatures Neuertheles we may not doubt but he often appeared to his blessed mother who for manie causes best of al others deserued his most comfortable conuersation And it is also vndoubtedly beleeued that he appeared somtimes to his seruants Enoch and Elias as yet liuing in their mortal bodies in the terrestrial paradise And that he appeared often to his Apostles and familiarly conuersed vvith them not only the Anciēt Fathers but also the holie Scriptures do testifie affirming that he shewed him selfe aliue to them after his Passion in manie arguments for fourtie daies appearing to them and speaking of the kingdom of God to vvit of the Church and of al functions and offices to be done therin Amongst other things he instituteth the rest of the seuen Sacraments not instituted before and ge●eth ful authoritie powre and commission ●o his militant Church for the bringing of ●oules into the Church triūphāt the soules deliuered from Limbo the meane while ●olowing him whither soeuer he goeth 1. Aue Maria. Finally the fourtith day after his Resurrectiō our lord appearing in Bethania vnto his Apostles lately returned from Galilee cōmandeth them not to depart from Ierusalem til they be endued with powre from aboue 2. Aue Maria. He saith moreouer vnto them that they shal be witnesses of his Passion Resurrection and Remission of sinnes in Ierusalem and in al Iurie and Samaria and euē to the vt most part of the earth 3. Aue Maria. In the mount Oliuet our Lord now readie to ascend into heauen for his last farewel in earth lifting vp his handes blesseth the whole Church imparting his grace as at diuers other times he did by an external signe 4. Aue Maria. Hauing thus bestowed his blessing he ascendeth directly into heauen a great nūber beholding him vntil he being couered with the clowdes they lose sight of him 5. Aue Maria. And vvhilest they looke stil after him if perhaps they may see him amiddes the clowdes behold two Angels in shape of men stand by them in vvhite garments 6. Aue Maria. The Angels say vnto them Ye men of Galilee what stand ye looking into heauē This IESVS vvho is assumpted from you into heauen shal so come as you haue seene him going 7. Aue Maria. Then they al adoring him goe from mount Oliuet into Ierusalem vvith great ioy thanking our Lord for his vvonderful benefites bestowed and prepared for mans saluation 8. Aue Maria. And being come into the citie our B. Ladie the mother of our Lord vvith the Apostles and other faithful in al almost an hūdreth and twentie going vp into a chāber vvith one mind perseuere in prayer 9. Aue Maria. There S. Peter as chiefe Pastor of the vvhole companie publisheth an election to be made of an Apostle to supplie ludas too me VVich he doth not by anie commandemēt of Christ expressely vvritten but by suggestion of Gods spirite agreable to the Scriptures 10. Aue Maria. They appoint two Ioseph and Mathias and praying God to declare by directing of the lottes vvhich of them he had chosen to the Apostle shippe the lot falleth vpon Mathias and he is numbred vvith the other eleuen Apostles 3.
