And concerning His incarnation, “Behold, a virgin shall be with Child, and shall bring forth a Son; and they shall call his name Immanuel.”12271227    Isa. vii. 14; Matt. i. 23. And concerning the passion, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before her shearers is dumb, I also was an innocent lamb led to be sacrificed.”12281228    Isa. liii. 7; Jer. xi. 19.
