Mt 1, 16English original
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
(ubi sup.) Also, the line of descent ought to be brought down to Joseph, that in wedlock no wrong might be done to the male sex, as the more worthy, provided only nothing was taken away from the truth; because Mary was of the seed of David.
