Irenaeus of Lyons (130–202) Demonstratio apostolicae praedicationis - "The Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching"
"Ancient Echoes of Marian Co-Redemption: An Apostolic Father’s Testimony""And even as through the disobedience of one virgin was man brought low, yea, he fell and died, so through a virgin who hearkened unto the words of God was man again quickened and restored unto life. For the Lord came to seek that which was lost, for man had gone astray. Thus, he was not made a new creature, but retained his kindred with him who was of Adam’s stock. For it was meet and right that when Adam was restored in Christ, mortality should be swallowed up of immortality and be taken up into Him, and Eve by Mary, that the Virgin might become the advocate of the virgin, and so by the obedience of a virgin might the disobedience of a virgin be weakened and abolished."
