Imitatio and Re-Vision?: Margaret Gascoigne, Augustine Baker, and the Reception of Julian of Norwich in Seventeenth-Century Cambrai

“…15 Here, the periphrasis surrounding the quotation from Julian's text has disappeared and 'thou art inough to me' stands as an integral part of the sentence which finishes with Margaret's original words 'and thy will more desired by me, then all these things beside.' Similarly, Margaret employs the words 'intende' and 'attende' throughout, words which she gleans from Julian's text, as in section 11: 'it being (I say) most pleasing to him, & being perhaps the principall or only meanes, by w ch he desirthe & intende [th] in thee to delight himselfe'; 16 in section 24: 'It seemeth to me now (most sweet Lord), that thou intendedst me for thy owne in a particular manner euen from my first being'; 17 and in section 53: 'Thou knowest I desire, seeke, or intend nothing but the accomplishing of thy most Bl: will', 18 to cite only a few instances of the recurrence of this word. Margaret treats the word 'courtesie', which John Clark notes is also an embedded reference to Julian, in a similar manner.…”
