18And the Generation of Christ was in this sic: clever, sagacious. When his Mother Marie was desponsata: betrothed, espoused, promised in marriage to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child, by the Holy Ghost.And the Generation of Christ was in this wise. When his Mother Marie was spoused to Ioseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child, by the Holy Ghost.Christi autem generatio sic erat : cum esset desponsata mater ejus Maria Joseph, antequam convenirent inventa est in utero habens de Spiritu Sancto.

21And she shall bring forth a Son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus. For he shall save his people from their sins.And she shal bring forth a Sonne: and thou shalt cal his name Iesvs. For he shal saue his people from their sinnes.Pariet autem filium : et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum : ipse enim salvum faciet populum suum a peccatis eorum.
22And all this was done that it might be fulfilled which our Lord spake by the Prophet saying:And al this was done that it might be fulfilled which our Lord spake by the Prophet saying:Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimpleretur quod dictum est a Domino per prophetam dicentem :
23Behold a Virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.* Behold a Virgin shal be with child, & bring forth a sonne, and they shal cal his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with vs.Ecce virgo in utero habebit, et pariet filium : et vocabunt nomen ejus Emmanuel, quod est interpretatum Nobiscum Deus.
24And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the Angel of our Lord commanded him, and took his wife.And Ioseph rising vp from sleepe, did as the Angel of our Lord commaunded him, & tooke his wife.Exsurgens autem Joseph a somno, fecit sicut præcepit ei angelus Domini, et accepit conjugem suam.
25And he cognoscebat: was acquainted with, recognized her not till she brought forth her first born Son: and called his name Jesus.And he knew her not til she brought forth her first borne Sonne: & called his name Iesvs.Et non cognoscebat eam donec peperit filium suum primogenitum : et vocavit nomen ejus Jesum.
Annotations
3Thamar. Christ abhorred not to take flesh of some that were ill, as he chose Judas among his Apostles: Let not us disdain to receive our spiritual birth and sustenance of such as be not always good.
16Joseph. Joseph marrying our Lady as near of kin (for so was the law) by his pedigree sheweth hers, and consequently Christ's pedigree from David.
16Husband. True and perfect marriage, and continual living in the same, without carnal copulation. Aug. li. 2. Consen. Evang. c. 1.
20Born in her. The triple good or perfection of marriage accomplished in the parents of Christ, to wit, Issue, Fidelity, Sacrament. Aug. de nup. and conc. li. 1. c. 11.
23A Virgin. Our Saviour born in marriage, but yet of a Virgin, would honour both states: and withal, teacheth us against Jovinian the old Heretic and these of our time, that virginity and the continent life are preferred before marriage that hath carnal copulation. See St. Jerome against Jovinian, and St. Gregory Nazianzen, Ser. 20 de studio in pauperes, in initio.
23A Virgin. As our Lady both a virgin and a mother, brought forth Christ the head corporally: so the Church a virgin and a mother, bringeth forth the members of this head spiritually. Aug. li. de virg. ca. 2.
23And bring forth. The Heretic Jovinian is here refuted, holding that her virginity was corrupted in bringing forth Christ. Aug. hær. 28. li. 1. against Julian. c. 2.
25Till, first born. Helvidius of old abused these words, till, and, first born, against the perpetual virginity of our B. Lady. St. Jerome against Helvidius. Which truth though not expressed in Scripture, yet our Adversaries also do grant, and Helvidius for denial thereof was condemned for an heretic by tradition only. Aug. hær. 84.
