1First he describeth the church of God of all times under the type or figure of the woman. Neither is it a strange or rare thing, sins at the first beginnings of things the woman began to represent the type of Christs spouse the church, ⟨p. 349⟩as is to be seen in the .2. of Genes. And so hath the Apostle expounded the type in the .5. chapt. to the Ephes. That I need not now to recite, that Isaiah hath oftener than ones under the type of a woman figured the church of God: rejoice thou barren, sayeth he, which bring forth no children, &c. Finally that S. Paul to the Galath. 4. chapt. hath set forth Sarah a figure of the church: which Solomon also in his canticles discoursed at length in describing of his spouse. The church than is that woman coupled with Christ her spouse in true faith and continual love. After he applieth certain things severally to the Virgin Mary, unto whom not withstanding the things that go before, and follow after do not altogether agree: which thing both Methodius and Primasius do show, and other expositors also with great accord.
