And so all the generacyons from Abraham [unspec C] to Dauid, are fourtene generacyons: And from Dauid vnto the captiuite of Babilon, are fourtene generacions.

The byrthe of Iesus Chryst was on this wyse. ✚ When his mother Mary was maryed to Ioseph (before they came to dwel togyther) she was founde with chylde by the holy goost. Then Ioseph her husbande (by∣cause he was a ryghteous ma••, and wolde not put her to shame) he was mynded priue∣ly to departe from her. But whyle he thus thought, beholde, the angell of the Lorde ap∣peared vnto hym in slepe, sayenge: Ioseph, thou sonne of Dauid: feare not to take vnto the Mary thy wyfe. For that whiche is con∣ceyued in her, cometh of the holy goost. She shall brynge forth a sonne, and thou shalt cal [unspec D] his name * 1.32 Iesus. For he shall saue his peo∣ple from thyr synnes.

All this was done, that it myght be fulfyl led, whiche was spoken of the Lorde by the prophet, sayenge: * 1.33 Behold, a mayde, shal be with chylde, and shall brynge forth a sonne / and they shal call his name Emanuel, which yf a man interprete, it is asmoche to saye, as God with vs. ⊢ And Ioseph as soone as he awoke out of slepe, dyd as the angell of the Lorde had bydden hym, and he toke his wyfe vnto hym, and knewe her not, tyll she had brought forth * 1.34 her ☞ fyrst begotten sonne / and called his name Iesus.
