The Fourth Chapter
..................

I saw her ghostly, in bodily likeness: a simple maid and a meek, young of age and little waxen above a child, in the stature that she was when she conceived with child. Also God shewed in part the wisdom and the truth of her soul: wherein I understood the reverent beholding that she beheld her God and Maker (with), marvelling with great reverence that he would be born of her that was a simple creature of his making. And this wisdom and truth - knowing the greatness of her Maker and the littleness of herself that was made, - caused her to say full meekly to Gabriel: " Lo me, God's handmaid!" In this sight I understood soothly that she is more than all that God made beneath her in worthiness and grace; for above her is nothing that is made but the blessed (Manhood) of Christ, as to my sight.
