1. I myself also am a mortal man, like all others, and of the race of him, that was first made of the earth, and in the womb of my mother I was fashioned to be flesh.
2. In the time of ten months I was compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure of sleep concurring.
3. And being born I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth, that is made alike, and the first voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do.
4. I was nursed in swaddling clothes, and with great cares.
5. For none of the kings had any other beginning of birth.
