Wherein the most admirablenesse of this wonder Not so much that a Virgin should conceive and beare a son though against the law of Nature and rules of Philosophy to the astonishment of the wisest and admiration of Saints and Angels As that 1. the most high God should bee so abased 2. Ancient of dayes become young 3. Infinit God put on that finite forme of man 4. He whom heavens cannot containe contained in the Virgins wombe 5.

As the first Adam of earth fell so the second Adam from heaven repaired the losse restored the fall 2. The first Adam was without mother unlesse his mother earth so the second Adam without father in the world though both else sons of God 3. The first Adam had woman brought forth out of his side besides the course of nature so the second Adam brought forth by woman besides and beyond the ordinary law of nature so the first Adam by the first Eve though named mother of living lost life from all his posterity and got by their defections death this second Eve by the second Adam bringeth in his perfection life to all so truely becomming what the other in name only Mother of the living and of the Lord of life 21.
