After being a nun several years through the unscrupulous policy of Henry 2nd Mary was induced to give her hand to Mathew Earl of Alsace ... youngest son of Theodric Earl of Flanders ...

He maintains that in the Mosaic narrative, contrary to the usual intrepretation, there are [crossed out] (clear) clear indications of the existence of pre-Adamite races: This theory undoubtedly explains one passage in Genesis which seems otherwise wholly unintelligible, namely, that in which mention is made of unions between the "Sons of God" and the daughters of men. Our author affirms that for the "Sons of God" we ought to substitute as the true meaning in the original "The Servants of the gods" or in other words the idolatrous races of the world. In like manner the daughters of men should be translated "the daughters of the pre-Adamite"
