1. His Conception was wonderful and Divine, and this appeareth in sundry respects.
1. In respect of the Angel whom God sent to be his Messenger to manage and transact this glorious and divine work, Luk. 26.27. the Angel Gabriel was sent from God, the time of the coming of this Angelical Messenger from God, is expressed to be in the sixth Month after John Baptist his conception, which consideration will be of some use afterward, the place he came to was a City in Galilee of the Gentiles, named Nazareth, a place of little expectation, Joh. 1.46. Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? this is the place of the first springing of that glorious branch Jesus Christ, which is marked by Matthew, Math. 2.23. as the fulfilling of the Prophesies, viz. those Prophesies where Jesus Christ is called the Branch, from which word that city had its Name. The person to whom the Angel came was a Virgin, espoused lately unto Joseph both of them of the house of David, and the next and proper heirs of the crown of David; this God knew, though the world took no notice of it. The Virgins Name was Mary.
