God did ever so strangely qualify the baseness of Christ, that though he seemed in mens eyes a contemptible object,1 and abject; (Esa. 53.) yet he was beautified with some certain mark of his Divinity; that he might be discerned to be more then Man. Here when he had an Ox-stall for his Cloth of estate, he had a Star from Heaven to shine forth his Glory. Now, when generally in the world there was as much thought of the man in the Moon, as of Christ the Sun of Righteousness, ⟨p. 94⟩behold Magicians come from the East, and prostrate themselves before him.
