The Testimony of John Baptist.
3. John Baptist as he fulfilled his Ministry, he cried concerning this Jesus, Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the Sins of the World. And he, saith John, that sent me to baptize with Water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding, or remaining, the same is he which shall baptize with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bear record that this is the Son of God, Joh. 1. 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34.
The Testimony of the Star and Wise-Men.
4. The Star that appeared at his Birth in the East, and that coasted through the Heavens, till it came over the Place where the young Child Jesus was, that Star gave Testimony that he was the Saviour. This Star alarmed many, especially the Wise-Men of the East, who were brought by it from afar to worship him. And lo, the Star which they saw in the East, went before them till it came and stood over where the young Child was. And when they saw the Star they rejoiced with exceeding joy. And when they were come into the House, they saw the young Child with Mary his Mother, and fell down and worshipped him; and when they had opened their Treasures, they presented unto him Gifts, Gold, and Frankincense, and Myrrh.
