She saith, she asked him not whence he was: because in such visions men are so amazed, that they are attentive only unto the things which are spoken, neither have they any leisure to enquire of more things. So the mother of the Lord, when the Angel saluted her, asked him not what his name was, or from whence he came. Gideon also when he received the oracle of the Angel, for ⟨image 211⟩the delivering of the people, was altogether so astonished, that he was nothing inquisitive, what his name was. But the woman speaketh these things by anticipation: for she thought that her husband would hear, and inquire of him the truth. Although Josephus in hys book de Antiquitatibus (as I have before admonished) sayeth, that when he heard the words of his wife, he somewhat suspected her of evil.1 Howbeit Ambrose in his .70. Epistle, where he very diligently entreateth of this History, denieth that to be very likely. For if (sayeth he) he had ben gelious, God would not have sent an angel unto him. But me thinketh Ambroses reason is not firm. For Manoah might otherwise be a good man, although he were touched with suspicion. Very good men also have oftentimes some suspicion of such things. For even Joseph the husband of Mary, whom the holy Scripture testifieth that he was a just man, somewhat sinisterly suspected his Spouse, to whom yet the Angel appeared.
She sayth, she asked him not whence he was: bycause in such visions men are so amased, that they are attentiue onely vnto the thynges which are spoken, neither haue they any leasure to enquire of more thinges. So the mother of ye Lord, when the Aungell saluted her, asked hym not what his name was, or from whence he came. Gideon also when he receaued the oracle of the Aungell, for ⟨image 211⟩the delyuering of the people, was altogether so astonished, that he was nothyng inquisitiue, what his name was. But the woman speaketh these thynges by anticipation: for she thought that her husbande woulde heare, and inquire of hym the truth. Althoughe Iosephus in hys booke de Antiquitatibus (as I haue before admonished) sayeth, that when he hearde the wordes of his wife, he somewhat suspected her of euill.1
