13. I believe, that the time when he clothed himself with our flesh, was in the days of the reign of Caesar Augustus; then, I say, and not till then, was the word made flesh, or clothed with our nature. And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed; And Joseph went up from Galilee, out of the City of Nazareth unto Judah, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; because he was of the house and linage of David, to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife being great with child; And so it was, that while they were there, the days were accomplished, that she should be delivered. This child was he of whom godly Simeon was told by the holy Ghost, when he said, That he should not see death until he had seen the Lord Christ. Joh 1.14. 1 Tim. 3.16. Luk. 2.1, 2, 3, 6.25, 26, 27.
