35. Yea, &c.--"Blessed as thou art among women, thou shalt have
thine own deep share of the struggles and sufferings which this Babe is
to occasion"--pointing not only to the continued obloquy and rejection
of this Child of hers, those agonies of His which she was to witness at
the cross, and her desolate condition thereafter, but to dreadful
alternations of faith and unbelief, of hope and fear regarding Him,
which she would have to pass through.
that the thoughts, &c.--Men's views and decisions regarding Christ
are a mirror in which the very "thoughts of their hearts" are seen.
