Latin
LXII. Praeterea in Breviario Parisiensi, in Festo Assumptionis, eidem Virgini dicitur, Gaude Virgo Maria cunctas haereses sola interemisti in universo mundo. Et secunda die infra octavam Assumptionis, de eadem haec verba leguntur, Illa est quae proxime juncta Deo exercituum, meretur & ipsa suo modo, exercituum & virtutum potens vocari. Haec est nostra Bellatrix, de qua serpenti antiquo dictum est: Ipsa conteret caput tuum. Quo nomine postea narratur Rex Philippus Valesius, qui insignem victoriam de rebellibus Flandris obtinuerat, equum & arma in quibus vicerat gloriosissimae Virgini devovisse. Denique extat hymnus in fine operum Almaini, quem studiose testatur in Ecclesia Romana publice cani, in quo haec dicuntur ad Mariam Virginem, Mediatrix hominum, Ablutrix criminum, Consolatrix omnium, Peccatorum venia, Munda sordes scelerum. Ac in Litaniis illis Bonaventurae Psalterio adjectis, quarum supra facta mentio est, Virgo Maria vocatur Salus & Beatitudo, ac Cordium illuminatrix.
