!Bk. iii. upon the Harmony of the Gospels, I.
The Evangelist Matthew beginneth thus The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the son of Abraham. By this beginning he sufficiently showeth that he taketh upon him to tell the generation of Christ according to the Flesh. It is by this generation that Christ is the Son of Man, a title whereby He oftentimes calleth Himself, pointing out unto us what He hath been mercifully pleased to become for our sakes. As to His higher and eternal Generation, by Which He is the Only-begotten Son of God, begotten before any creature, and by Whom all things were made, it is so indescribable that the Prophet may be understood to point to it where he saith who shall declare His generation? (Isa. liii. 8.)
