Turn thee againe thou God of Hostes looke downe from heavan behold and visit this vine v. 15. and the place of the vineyard that thy right hand hath planted and the branch that thou madest so strong for thy selfe v. 17. Let thy hand bee upon the man of thy right hand and upon the Sonne of man whom thou madest so strong for thine owne selfe Your Rabbins say there are two Messiahs that of ours you call Ben Joseph But you expect Messiah Ben David Was not ours Ben David Looke upon the Pedegrees in Mathew and Luke in the latter you shall finde Maries Pedegree who was the right heire after her espoused Joseph was dead Behold a Virgin did conceiv and beare a Sonne This was the Branch and the Man of Gods right hand and he was called Wonderfull and Emanuel And often called in his life time by propheticke spirits whom he cured the the Sonne of David nay the Divels themselves confessed he was the Sonne of David and quarrelled with him because hee came to torment them before their time It was a wonderfull production The Spirit of God overshadowed this Virgin c.
