Mt 1, 16English original
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
(Id. non occ.) Hence then we believe that Mary was in the line of David; namely, because we believe the Scripture which affirms two things, both that Christ was of the seed of David according to the flesh, and that He should be conceived of Mary not by knowledge of man, but as yet a virgin.
