To day in Incarnation.
kWhen the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son made of a Woman. lThe word was made flesh: which was, sayth Emissenus, mNon deposita, sed seposit• maiestate. Thus he became younger then-his Mother, that is as eternal as his Father. He was Yesterday God before all worlds, he is now made man in the World. ⟨p. 239⟩nSanguinem, qu•m pro matre •btulit, antea de sanguine matris accepit. The blood that he shed for his Mother, he had from his Mother. The same Eusebius▪ on the 9. of Isaiah acutely. oUnto us a child is borne, unto us a Son is given. He was Datus ex Divinitate, natus ex virgine. Datus est qui erat; natus est qui non erat. He was Given of the Deity, Borne of the virgin: He that was given, was before: he as borne, was before. Donum dedit Deus • quale sibi, God gave a gift equal to himself.
