Q. Tell me by the way, How is this Jesus to be known and distinguished from all others?
A. This Jesus who in the days of his Flesh, was by Face known from all others, is now of us to be known and distinguished from all others; by that description the Scriptures give us of him, in the History of his Birth, Life, Death, Resurrection from the Dead, ⟨p. 70⟩and Ascension into Heaven.
Q. I would learn of you a brief account of this Matter; and first, What is the relation you have concerning the Birth of Jesus?
A. It is this: When Herod was King of Judea, and Caesar Augustus was Emperor of the World, then Jesus was born at Bethlehem in Judea, of a Virgin named Mary, who conceived him in her Womb, by the Holy Ghost, and Power of the Highest coming upon her, and over-shadowing her for that end and purpose.
