for the Lord Messiah your saviour is this day born, in the city of David: and by this sign shall you know him; you will find the babe swathed, lying in a manger. All of a sudden an army of celestial beings join'd the angel, singing praises to God, and saying, "glory to God in the heavens, and to men on earth felicity in the divine favour." As soon as the angels retired back to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, let us go to Bethlehem, to see the fact, of which the Lord inform'd us. accordingly they hasted thither, and found Mary and Joseph with the babe lying in the manger. when they had seen him, they divulged what the angel had told them concerning this child. and all that heard of it, were surprized at what the shepherds related. but Mary considered these things very attentively, and weigh'd every circumstance in her mind, while the shepherds return'd, glorifying and praising God, for having heard and seen every thing exactly as the angel inform'd them.
