MEDIEVAL WOMEN - Scriptorium: The six Ages of the World |
 | | For in the first age, Adam was on the sixth day formed from the earth his mother, without an earthly father; in the likeness of God: and in the last age of the world, by Christ born of an earthly mother, without an earthly father, man was re-formed to the same image of God. |
 | | To carry on the similitude, in the same age, from the side of Adam, who was the figure of Christ That was to come, Eve was formed; and, by the blood that flowed, together with the water of sanctification from the side of Christ, the Church was made. |
 | | Next, in the fourth age, the kingdom of David flourished in that earthly Jerusalem, prefiguring the kingdom of Christ and of the Church: for of his seed the same Christ was born, Who spiritually reigning in His Church, shall in due time gloriously crown her for her obedience. |
