Circumstances enforcing this consideration. The Evangelists Citation of the words of the Prophet vindicated. The Messiah to be born of a Virgin. Isa. 7.10, 11. and Matth. 1.21, 22. Jews convinced that Jesus was born of a Virgin. Jews exceptions, to the Application of this Prophecy. Their weight. The answer of some unto them; unsafe, needless. True sense of the words.

The Prophecy cleared in this instance. In what sense the Birth of the Messiah, a sign of present deliverance. Remaining Objections answered. Other Characters of the Messiah. He was to be a Prophet,
