5.  And first let us inquire for what cause Jesus came down.  Now mind not my argumentations, for perhaps thou mayest be misled but unless thou receive testimony of the Prophets on each matter, believe not what I say:  unless thou learn from the Holy Scriptures concerning the Virgin, and the place, the time, and the manner, receive not testimony from man John v. 34..  For one who at present thus teaches may possibly be suspected:  but what man of sense will suspect one that prophesied a thousand and more years beforehand?  If then thou seekest the cause of Christ’s coming, go back to the first book of the Scriptures.  In six days God made the world:  but the world was for man.  The sun however resplendent with bright beams, yet was made to give light to man, yea, and all living creatures were formed to serve us:  herbs and trees were created for our enjoyment.  All the works of creation were good, but none of these was an image of God, save man only.  The sun was formed by a mere command, but man by God’s hands:  Let us make man after our image, and after our likeness Gen. i. 26..  A wooden image of an earthly king is held in honour; how much more a rational image of God?
