2. Again, What a continuation of this Alarm was there also at the Birth of Jesus, which was about three months after John Baptist was ⟨p. 37⟩born. Now come the Angels from Heaven, now comes a strange Star over the Country to lead the Men of the East to the Stable where Jesus was born; now was Herod, the Priests, the Scribes, and also the City Jerusalem awakened and sore troubled: for it was noised by the Wise-Men, that Christ the King and Saviour was born. Besides, The Shepherds, Simon, and Anna gave notice of him to the People; they should therefore have retained the Memory of these things, and have followed God in all his dark Providences, until his Son of Righteousness should arise among them with healing under his Wings.
