Isaiah7:15

Ver. 15. Butter and Honey ſhall he eat] i. e. He ſhall be fed with Childrens meat, after the manner of other Infants; for as he ſhall take upon him our nature,Noematica periphraſis. ſo ſhall he alſo partake with us in our natural infirmities: feeding as other Children there did, on butter and honey, not able to diſcern good from evil through want of judgement, till he came to be of diſcretion, Luke 2.52. with Deut. 1.39. that he might be in all things like unto us, and that we might once come unto the meaſure of the ſtature of the fulneſs of Chriſt, Eph. 4.13. that we might become ſtrong in the Lord, and in the power of his might, able to do all things through Chriſt that ſtrengtheneth us, Phil. 4. Stumble not at his weakneſs, but gather aſſurance of his Love, who ſo ſweetly joyned his Majeſty to our meanneſs, his might to our weakneſs: abaſing himſelf to the ſhape and ſtate of a feeble weak and helpleſs child.
