Theological Theses · §1544

Empire even over reigning Christ—old rhythmic prose and Paris Missal: ‘by mother’s right command the Redeemer’

They claim empire not only over creatures but over Christ reigning in glory.

Old rhythmic prose and Paris Missal: mother stands over the Son—‘by mother’s right command the Redeemer.’

Latin

LXIV. Neque tantum creaturas omnes Virgini tanquam Dominae proprie dictae subjiciunt, sed etiam imperium & authoritatem illi tribuunt in ipsum Christum jam gloriose in coelo Regnantem. Quo spectat vetus illa prosa Rhythmica, a nostris saepius citata, Gaude Matrona caelica, Tu ancillam Jesu Christi, Te vocare noli, Sed ut docet lex divina, Tu illius es Domina. Nam lex docet & ratio; Matrem praeesse Filio. Ergo ora suppliciter, Et praecipe sublimiter, Ut nos in mundi Vespere, Ad regna ducat suprema. Quibus concinunt illa veteri Missali Parisiensi inserta, O felix puerpera, Nostra pians scelera, Jure matris impera Redemptori.
