Mary

And Iacob begat Ioseph ye husband of Mary, of whom was borne Jesus, that is called Christ.

Nowe the birth of Jesus Christ was thus, When as his mother Mary was betrothed to Ioseph, before they came together, shee was found with childe of the holy Ghost.

But whiles he thought these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a dreame, saying, Ioseph, the sonne of Dauid, feare not to take Mary thy wife: for that which is conceiued in her, is of the holy Ghost.

And went into the house, and founde the babe with Mary his mother, and fell downe, and worshipped him, and opened their treasures, and presented vnto him giftes, euen golde, and frankincense, and myrrhe.

Is not this the carpenters sonne? Is not his mother called Marie, and his brethren Iames and Ioses, and Simon and Iudas?

Then came his brethren and mother, and stoode without, and sent vnto him, and called him.

Is not this that carpenter Maries sonne, the brother of Iames and Ioses, and of Iuda and Simon? and are not his sisters here with vs? And they were offended in him.

To a virgin affianced to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie.

Then the Angel saide vnto her, Feare not, Marie: for thou hast found fauour with God.

Then sayde Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I knowe not man?

Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her.

And Marie arose in those daies, and went into ye hil countrey with hast to a citie of Iuda,

And it came to passe, as Elisabet heard the salutation of Marie, the babe sprang in her bellie, and Elisabet was filled with the holy Ghost.

Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord,

And Marie abode with her about three moneths: after, shee returned to her owne house.

To bee taxed with Marie that was giuen him to wife, which was with childe.

So they came with haste, and founde both Marie and Ioseph, and the babe laid in the cratch.

But Mary kept all those sayings, and pondred them in her heart.

And Simeon blessed them, and saide vnto Mary his mother, Beholde, this childe is appointed for the fall and rising againe of many in Israel, and for a signe which shalbe spoken against,

Then stoode by the crosse of Iesus his mother, and his mothers sister, Marie the wife of Cleopas, and Marie Magdalene.

These all continued with one accorde in prayer and supplication with the women, and Marie the mother of Iesus, and with his brethren.
