The harmony of the Gospels in the holy history of the humiliation and sufferings…

7. The Angel answereth her Reason, by raising her faith to expect the performance of the promise, by the divine and Infinite power of God, saying, the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall over-shadow thee, therefore also that holy thing which shall be borne of thee, shall be called the Son of God, and behold thy Cozen Elizabeth she hath also conceived (namely by faith as also Sarah did) in her old Age, and this is the sixth Month with her who was called barren, for with God nothing shall be unpossible.

8. Mary by faith submitteth her self to the will of God. She said, behold the Handmaid of the Lord, be it unto me according to thy word. And that this was an act of Faith in Mary, doth appear b• the Testimony of the Holy Ghost, who spake by Elizabeth, Luk. 1.45. and blessed is she that believed, for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
