Again, by this you may see how Christ is to be loved, for when he calleth us his mother, he showeth us the way to love him as a mother, for indeed he is the mother of his mother, and his brethren too.
Againe, by this you may see how Christ is to be loued, for when hee calleth vs his mother, hee sheweth vs the way to loue him as a mother, for indeede hee is the mother of his mother, and his brethren too.
Again, by this all vaunting and boasting ⟨p. 257⟩of Kindred is cut off. Glory not in that thou hast a Gentleman to thy Father, glory not that thou hast a Knight to thy Brother, but glory that thou hast the Lord to thy Brother.1 He which called Abraham his Father fried in Hell, because GOD was not his Father. If Mary might not be proud of such a Son as our Saviour Christ, much less may you brag of any friend or Son that you have.

If Marie might not bee prowde of such a Sonne as our Sauiour Christ, much lesse may you bragge of any friend or Sonne that you haue.
