Still more was it becoming that God should preserve her from original sin, for He destined her to crush the head of that infernal serpent, which, by seducing our first parents, entailed death upon all men; and this our Lord foretold: "I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed; she shall crush thy head."1 But if Mary was to be that valiant woman brought into the world to conquer Lucifer, certainly it was not becoming that he should first conquer her, and make her his slave; but it was reasonable that she should be preserved from all stain, and even momentary subjection to her opponent. The proud spirit endeavoured to infect the most pure soul of this Virgin with his venom, as he had already infected the whole human race. But praised and ever blessed be God, who, in His infinite goodness, pre-endowed her for this purpose with such great grace, that remaining always free from any guilt of sin, she was ever able to beat down and confound his pride, as Saint Augustine, or whoever may be the author of the commen 1 Inimicitias ponam inter te et mulierem, et semen tuum et semen illius; ipsa conteret caput tuum.--Gen. iii, 15. tary on Genesis, says: "Since the devil is the head of original sin, this head it was that Mary crushed; for sin never had any entry into the soul of this Blessed Virgin, which was consequently free from all stain."1 And Saint Bonaventure more expressly says, " It was becoming that the Blessed Virgin Mary, by whom our shame was to be blotted out, and by whom the devil was to be conquered, should never even for a moment...

Excerpt from A Polemical Treatise on the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin The work now offered to the public is made up of several parts. Of these, the principal is the famous Treatise of the late lamented Cardinal Lambruschini, containing copious extracts from the works of the Holy Fathers: the latter are, in this translation, rendered from the Latin by a clergyman who kindly undertook that most important part of the translation. We give as an Introduction a series of articles which appeared some years ago in L'Ami de la Religion from the pen of an eminent Jesuit, Father Felix. They were written as a review of Father Perrone's work on the Immaculate Conception. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
