glory above the heavens; from the mouths of youths and boys Thou hast
perfected Thy praise." What shall I shew from this prophecy about the
Christ? that He is God of God, and perfect Man; when He went into the Holy

them that He was the Christ, and that He was God of God as the prophets have
preached about Him; and they said that He should forgive trespasses and
