        Octávum signum est, in quo princeps suscitári póstulat fíliam suam, nolens de mystério veræ
        circumcisiónis exclúdi: sed subíntrat múlier sánguine fluens, et octávo sanátur loco; ut príncipis
        fília de hoc exclúsa número, véniat ad nonum, juxta illud quod in Psalmis dícitur: Æthiópia
        prævéniet manus ejus Deo; et, Cum intráverit plenitúdo géntium, tunc omnis Israël salvus fiet.


        Et ecce múlier, quæ sánguinis fluxum patiebátur duódecim annis, accéssit retro, et tétigit
        fímbriam vestiménti ejus. In Evangélio secúndum Lucam scríbitur, quod príncipis fília duódecim
        annos habéret ætátis. Nota ergo, quod eo témpore hæc múlier, id est, Géntium pópulus cœ́perit
        ægrotáre, quo genus Judæórum credíderat. Nisi enim ex comparatióne virtútum, vítium non
        osténditur.


        Hæc autem múlier sánguine fluens, non in domo, non in urbe accédit ad Dóminum, quia juxta legem
        úrbibus excludebátur; sed in itínere, ambulánte Dómino; ut, dum pergit ad áliam, ália curarétur.
        Unde dicunt et Apóstoli: Vobis quidem oportébat prædicári verbum Dei: sed quóniam vos judicástis
        indígnos salúte, transgrédimur ad gentes.

        The eighth miracle took place upon the occasion when a certain ruler, desiring not to be kept
        out of the mystery of the true circumcision, besought Christ to recall his daughter to life. But
        a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood, thrust herself in, and her cure occupieth the
        eighth place, so that the resurrection of the ruler's daughter is postponed and made the ninth in
        enumeration even as it is written in the Psalms: "Ethiopia shall soon stretch forth her hands
        unto God" (lxvii. 32). And again: "Blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of
        the Gentiles is come in and so all Israel shall be saved" (Rom. xi. 25, 26).


        "And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood, twelve years, came behind Him,
        and touched the hem of His garment." In the Gospel according to Luke (viii. 42) it is written
        that the ruler's daughter was about twelve years of age. Note therefore that this woman, who
        typifies the Gentiles, had been diseased for the same time that the Jewish nation, typified by
        the ruler's daughter, had been living in faith. We see not clearly the hideousness of evil, until
        we compare it with good.


        This woman with the issue of blood came not to the Lord in an house or in a city, for such as she
        were by the Law banished out of cities (Lev. xv. 25), but in the way, as He walked so that the
        Lord healed one, even while He was on the road to heal another. Whence also the Apostles said:
        "It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you but, seeing ye put it
        from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles" (Acts
        xiii. 46).
    responsory:
      la: "Duo Séraphim clamábant alter ad álterum: * Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth: * Plena est omnis terra glória ejus.\nV. Tres sunt qui testimónium dant in cælo: Pater, Verbum, et Spíritus Sanctus: et hi tres unum sunt.\nR. Plena est omnis terra glória ejus."
      en: "One Seraph cried unto another: * Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of hosts; * The whole earth is full of His glory.\nV. There are Three That bear record in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these Three are One.\nR. The whole earth is full of His glory."
