Isaiah 9. A child is borne unto us, A Son is given unto us, whose government shall be upon his shoulder, & his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, father of eternity, Prince of peace. Matt. 1. She shall bring forth a son, & thou shalt call his name Jesus: For he shall save his people from their sins. Furthermore all this is done, that, that might be fulfilled, which the Lord hath spoken by his Prophet saying: Behold a virgin shall be with child, & shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Emanuel, which is if thou interpret it, God with us. Luk. 1. The Angel saith unto Mary, thou shalt call his name Jesus. This man shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the highest. And the Lord God shall give him the seat of David his father, & he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
