Having considered those things which relate to Christ's entrance into
the world, or to His beginning, it remains for us to consider those
that relate to the process of His life. And we must consider (1)
His manner of life; (2) His temptation; (3) His doctrine;
(4) His miracles.
Concerning the first there are four points of inquiry:
(1) Whether Christ should have led a solitary life, or have
associated with men?
(2) Whether He should have led an austere life as regards food,
drink, and clothing? Or should He have conformed Himself to others
in these respects?
(3) Whether He should have adopted a lowly state of life, or one
of wealth and honor?
(4) Whether He should have lived in conformity with the Law?
