Luke xi. 27.MARCELLA. This is the Name that some Authors of small Credit give to the Servant of Saint Martha. They pretend that it was she who hearing our Saviour preach, cried out, ” Blessed is the Womb ” that brought thee forth, and the Breasts ” that gave thee suck.” ‘Tis said, that having followed Mary and Martha into Provence, she died at Aix. There is under her Name a Life of Mary Magdalen, which is said to have been composed in Hebrew, and was translated into Latin by Synther: But it is a Work of no Authority.
