If you will have her to show you Jesus, than must ye first let him show you her in this misery and hear what she said Luke in the first chapter, where it is written: He remembereth mercy, and helpeth up his servant Israel. Even as he promised unto our fathers, Abraham and to his seed for ever. Here sayeth Mary that unto Abraham and his seed was promised salvation through Christ Jesus, which thing is ⟨image 79⟩plainly declared in Genesis the .xxii. Chap. where God said to Abraham: In thy seed shall all nations be blessed: and Abraham believing this was saved thereby. And Genesis. xvii. was Isaac promised unto Abraham and Abraham believing the same likewise was saved thereby. Unto David was like promise made .ii.

I will be his father, and he shall be my son, and will stablish the seat of his kingdom for ever. This did David believe, and was also saved.

Thus must we have him
