I was curious about the line:”in the time of man’s innocency, signifying unto us the mystical union that is betwixt Christ and his church.” It seems that “innocence” is often a gendered term, referring to chastity and virginity, so I was curious about the choice to refer to “man’s” innocency” here, and what that could signify. I also wonder about the phrase, “mystical union,” which seems to refer both a religious and metaphysical unification.
