them

with

provision

for

their

journey

,

they

went

away

,

and

on

the

evening

of

that

day

arrived

at

another

town

,

in

which

they

were

celebrating

a

marriage

;

but

,

by

the

arts

of

accursed

Satan

and

the

work

of

enchanters

,

the

bride

had

become

dumb

,

and

could

not

speak

a

word

.

And

after

the

Lady

Mary

entered

the

town

,

carrying

her

son

the

Lord

Christ

,

that

dumb

bride

saw

her

,

and

stretched

out

her

hands

towards

the

Lord

Christ

,

and

drew

Him

to

her

,

and

took

Him

into

her

arms

,

and

held

Him

close

and

kissed

Him

,

and

leaned

over

Him

,

moving

His

body

back

and

forwards

.

Immediately

the

knot

of

her

tongue

was

loosened

,

and

her

ears

were

opened

;

and

she

gave

thanks

and

praise

to

God

,

because

He

had

restored

her

to

health

.

And

that

night

the

inhabitants

of

that

town

exulted

with

joy

,

and

thought

that

God

and

His

angels

had

come

down

to

them

.
