And this was in the time of his abasement: in the greatest extremity of abasement, there was somewhat that came from Christ, to justify him that he was the Son of God,1 the true Messiah: there is no part of his abasement, but some beams of his God-head did break forth in it.

He was made flesh; but he took upon him the flesh of a Virgin: Could that be otherwise then by the Spirit, to be borne of a Virgin, she remaining a Virgin? When he was borne, he was laid in a Manger; indeed, there was God in the low estate of the flesh: I, but the Wise men worshipped him, and the Star directed them; there he was justified in the Spirit. He was tossed when he was asleep in the Ship, but he commanded the Winds and the Waves: He wanted Money to pay Tribute, as he was abased; but to fetch it out of a Fish, there he was justified: the one, was an argument of his poverty, and meanness; but the other was an argument, that he was another manner of person then the World took him for; that he had all the creatures at his command. He was apprehended as a Male-factor, but he struck them all down with his word, Whom seek ye?
