534 And so Justin Martyr puts it in a parallel passage to this of
Irenæus: _Tryph._ 100. Παρθένος οὖσα Εὔα, τὸν λόγον τὸν ἀπὸ τοῦ
ὄφεως συλλαβοῦσα, παρακοὴν καὶ θάνατον ἔτεκε· πίστιν δὲ καὶ χαρὰν
λαβοῦσα Μαρία ἡ παρθένος, εὐαγγελιζομένου αὐτῇ Γαβριὴλ ἀγγέλου, ...
ἀπεκρίνατο· Γένοιτό μοι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου. Καὶ διὰ ταύτης γεγένηται
οὗτος ... δι᾽ οὗ ὁ Θεὸς τὸν ὄφιν ... καταλύει, ἀπαλλαγὴν δὲ τοῦ
θανάτου ... ἐργάζεται.
535 V. xix. 1. Quemadmodum enim illa per angeli sermonem seducta est, ut
effugeret Deum, prævaricata verbum ejus; ita et hæc per angelicum
sermonem evangelizata est, ut portaret Deum, obediens ejus verbo. Et
si ea inobedierat Deo, sed hæc suasa est obedire Deo, uti virginis
Evæ virgo Maria fieret advocata. Et quemadmodum adstrictum est morti
genus humanum per virginem, salvatur per virginem; æqua lance
disposita, virginalis inobedientia per virginalem obedientiam.
