And therefore, if of that Temple, built with hands, Solomon could say with admiration:q But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can not contain thee; how much less this house, which I have built? of the true Temple, that is not of this building, we may with greater wonderment say with the Apostle,r Without controversy, great is the mystery of Religion: God was manifested in the flesh. Yea, was made of a Woman, and born of a Virgin: a thing sos wonderful, that it was given for a sign unto unbelievers seven hundred and forty years before it was accomplished; even a sign of Gods own choosing, among all the wonders in the depth, or in the height above. Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold, a Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call his name Immanuel, Esa. 7. 14.
