Flamma sine Fumo | ||
The Virgin Mary.
From henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Most blessed is (thou sonne of man) the breast,
Which thou didst suck, & the chast womb is blest
Which bare thee, when thou didst our nature wed,
No sinful lust defil'd thy marriage bed
None was so gracious, as the Virgin Mary,
Gods holy Temple, and his Sanctuary.
As fathers hold, her blessing did consist
More in beleeving, than in bearing Christ.
