3 Item, that where the body of the virgin Mary was subject to death, and died: this is to be understand to come not for any penalty due for sin, but either for imitation and conformity unto Christ,1 or else for the natural constitution of her body being elemental, as were the bodies of our first parents: who if they had not tasted of the forbidden fruit, should have been preserved from death, not by nature, but by grace & strength of other fruits and meats in Paradise. Which meats, because Mary had not, but did eat our common meats, therefore she died, and not for any necessity of Original sin. Clitovaeus lib. •. cap. 2.
