Thy Servant;” Ps. lxxxvi. 2. and, further

Thy handmaid;” Ps. lxxxvi. 16. and, elsewhere,
that is, in Ezekiel: “And I will set up one Shepherd over

feed them, and He shall be their Shepherd. And I the Lord will be
their God, and My Servant David a prince among them.” Ez. xxxiv. 23, 24. Now David the Son of Jesse was

His divine Generation He has no Mother, but a Father only: nor is
He the fruit of earthly desire, but the eternal Power of
God.
