These words set down the mild,1 and sweet, and amiable manner of Christs carriage upon earth here in his first coming to work the great work of our redemption, he did not carry the matter in an outward glorious manner, in pomp, but he would have his miracles concealed oft times, and himself hidden, his God-head was hid under the veil of his Manhood, he could not have wrought our salvation else, if the devil and the world had known Christ to be as he was, they would never have made those attempts against him, therefore considering he had such a dispensation to work our salvation, as a King, Priest, and Prophet, he would not cry, and contend, and strive, he would not come with any great noise.
