A & mamillæ exficcatæ lac Ifaac præbercnt:
non erat naturæ opus , ut fine viro Maria
Virgo conciperet , ac fine corruption
ne Salvatorem univerforum pareret. Sa-
ram in- fcnc&ute Deus matrem effecit ; &
Mariam etiam poft partum Virginem reddidit
. Angelus in tabernaculo ad Patriar-
cham dixit : Ifto jam tempore nafeetur Saræ Gert. 18.
filius. Angelus autem in Bethlehem di- Luc l
xit ad Mariam : Ecce filium paries, gra-
^ tia plena. Rißt Sara , fuam confiderans
fterilitatem , mortificationemque cernens,
verbis minus credebat : quomodo fiet ,
inquit , iftud , quum ego & Abraham-»
inertes fimus atque inepti ad frudum_»
producendum ? Dubitabat Maria , fuam
refpiciens virginitatem, ejufque figna-
cula indiifolubilia retinens : quomodo
enim , inquit , iftud fiet mihi , quum
Q vir um non cognofcam } nova quippe àC* Luc' tj
inaudita erat promiflio : fed qui præter
fpem Saræ concelferat Ifaac , ipfe fe-
cundum carnem cx Virgine natus eft .
Supra modum erant læti Abraham &T'
Sara , nato Ifaac , ficut dixerat Deus •
Gaudio quoque perfundebantur Maria &
Jofeph , ob natum Jefum , ficut dixerat
Gabriel. Largiter fontes la&ei ex ea quse
ætatem excellèrat, in os Ifaac influebant:
D abundanter etiam Virginis mamillæ lac ei,
qui univerfa pafeit, fubminiftrabant. Quis
dixilfet Abrahæ, quod filium Sara in fene-
$ Ute la&atura effet ? ( clamavit fterilis. )
Quis dixiffet hominibus : Virgo fum ,
& partum edo , ac laito ? ( dicebat Maria.
) Non propter Ifaac rifit Sara j
fed propter natum ex Maria. Et ficut
Joannes præ lætitia exultavit in ute-
P ro : ita luo rifu Sara gaudium figni-
ficavit . Adolevit puer , Sc alioruzm-»
adolefcentulorum ætatem fuo juvenili æta-
tis flore fuperavit . Speciofus atque—»
decorus erat , virtutes animæ pulchritu-
' dine corporis adaugens , & in quacum-
que re parentibus fuis jucundus. Qui-
cumque liberos habetis, hunc imitari ftu-
dete. Quam gaudet pater cernens luden-
tem puerum : aut potius quomodo gaudet
p confpiciens puerum proficientem , ftudio-
fumque efte difciplinarum ?
Sed dum hæc cernebat Abraham , læ-
tabatur : interim vero gravis ipfi illata eft
tentatio atque probatio : ut pateret, cui plus
tribueret, naturæ inclination!, an divino
amori. Hujus ergo tentationis rigorem , ca-
riffimi, dum enarro, plane contremifco &
obftupefco . Compellat enim rurfus Abraham
Deus, eumque fuo vocat nomine- di-
cens '.Tolle filium tuum unigenitum, quem di- ^en. 22.
