These words are undoubtedly spoken of Christ, wherein is contained, as the Prophecy declareth, that he should come of the synage and stock of David. Therefore saith Saint Paul well, 1that after the flesh he is borne of the seed of David. For the Prophet Jeremiah would describe the saviour plenteously, that he might be perfectly known, what he should be, and from whence he should come, because of them, which ⟨image 7⟩cyther at that time or afterward should come unto the faith & believe in him that they should not need to grope after him here or there, or seek him any where else. Therefore doth he knit him unto the generation and stock of David, from whence men should look for him undoubtedly. With such words have the Prophets comforted the people, and warned them that they should mark diligently upon this generation, and that they should be throughly persuaded, that he should come none other way, but from the stock of David.
These wordes are vndoubtebly spoken of Christe, wherein is contayned, as the Prophecye declareth, that he shoulde come of the synage and stocke of Dauid. Therefore saith Sayncte Paule well, 1that after the flesshe he is borne of the seed of Dauid. For the Prophete Ieremie would describe the sauiour plenteoufly, that he myght be perfytely knowen, what he shoulde be, and from whence he shoulde come, because of them, whiche ⟨image 7⟩cyther at that tyme or afterwarde should come vnto the fayth & beleue in him that they should not nede to grope after him here or there, or seke him any where elles. Therfore doth he knyite hym vnto the generation and stock of Dauid, from whence men should loke for hym vndoubtedly. With such wordes haue the Prophetes conforted the people, and warned them that they shoulde marke diligently vpon this generation, and that they shoulde be throughly perswaded, that he should come none other waye, but from the stocke of Dauid.
