And this he did of purpose, both to ingage them the more to attend, and because they well knew that of the fruit of his Loins God had promised the Messiah should come.
Having thus therefore gathered up their minds to hearken, he presenteth them with his Errand; to wit, That the Messiah was come, and that the promise was indeed fulfilled, that a Saviour should be born to Israel.
Of this Man's Seed (saith he) hath God according to the promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus.
In this Assertion he concludeth,
1. That the Promise had kept its due course in presenting a Saviour to Israel; to wit, in Davids Loins; Of this Man's Seed. 2. That the time of the Promise was come, and the Saviour was revealed; God hath raised unto Israel a Saviour. 3. That Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph was he: He hath raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus.
