josephus_n who_o be_v kill_v a_o little_a before_o the_o final_a overthrow_n of_o jerusalem_n for_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n relate_v not_o to_o any_o one_o who_o have_v be_v slay_v already_o but_o they_o be_v a_o prophecy_n concern_v the_o last_o of_o all_o the_o martyr_n of_o the_o jew_n who_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n before_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o last_o temple_n and_o the_o dissolution_n of_o that_o nation_n such_o a_o zachary_n the_o son_n of_o baruch_n be_v kill_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o temple_n as_o the_o jewish_a historian_n assure_v we_o but_o first_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o christ_n speak_v of_o something_o that_o have_v already_o happen_v not_o of_o something_o that_o be_v to_o come_v it_o be_v not_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d but_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d not_o a_o future_a but_o a_o aorist_n and_o so_o denote_v what_o have_v be_v do_v before_o not_o what_o shall_v be_v do_v afterward_o therefore_o christ_n word_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o one_o that_o have_v be_v in_o time_n pass_v kill_v by_o the_o jew_n second_o it_o be_v unquestionable_a that_o christ_n speak_v of_o some_o very_a holy_a man_n who_o violent_a death_n be_v record_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o you_o find_v this_o zacharias_n join_v with_o abel_n of_o who_o you_o read_v in_o gen._n 4._o 8._o and_o for_o that_o reason_n we_o may_v infer_v that_o this_o baruch_n be_v not_o mean_v here_o three_o it_o be_v doubtful_a whether_o the_o blood_n of_o this_o person_n who_o josephus_n speak_v of_o may_v be_v call_v righteous_a blood_n as_o this_o be_v here_o for_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o civil_a account_n that_o that_o son_n of_o baruch_n be_v put_v to_o death_n viz._n because_o he_o be_v think_v to_o take_v part_n with_o the_o roman_n and_o so_o he_o can_v be_v well_o parallel_v with_o abel_n you_o see_v how_o improbable_a the_o foresay_a opinion_n be_v therefore_o i_o choose_v to_o embrace_v that_o of_o st._n jerom_n and_o some_o lightfoot_n learned_a man_n of_o late_a who_o conceive_v that_o this_o zacharias_n be_v he_o who_o be_v mention_v in_o 2_o chron._n 24._o 20._o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o zechariah_n the_o son_n of_o jehoiada_n the_o priest_n who_o stand_v above_o the_o people_n and_o say_v unto_o they_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n why_o etc._n etc._n and_o they_o conspire_v against_o he_o and_o stone_v he_o with_o stone_n at_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o king_n in_o the_o court_n of_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n thus_o joash_n the_o king_n remember_v not_o the_o kindness_n which_o jehoiada_n his_o father_n have_v do_v to_o he_o but_o slay_v his_o son_n this_o be_v the_o person_n who_o our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o and_o the_o shed_n of_o who_o righteous_a blood_n he_o impute_v to_o the_o jew_n of_o that_o age._n he_o you_o slay_v say_v he_o for_o though_o it_o be_v say_v the_o king_n slay_v he_o because_o he_o command_v he_o to_o be_v slay_v yet_o it_o be_v say_v likewise_o the_o people_n slay_v he_o because_o they_o not_o only_o conspire_v against_o he_o as_o you_o read_v but_o actual_o stone_v he_o and_o this_o they_o do_v in_o the_o court_n of_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o be_v the_o same_o with_o what_o our_o saviour_n say_v between_o the_o temple_n and_o the_o altar_n and_o his_o blood_n may_v just_o deserve_v the_o epithet_n of_o righteous_a and_o he_o may_v just_o be_v reckon_v with_o righteous_a abel_n because_o he_o lose_v his_o life_n in_o a_o righteous_a cause_n because_o with_o great_a boldness_n and_o zeal_n he_o reprove_v the_o people_n for_o their_o sin_n but_o especial_o for_o their_o idolatry_n and_o foretell_v they_o what_o misery_n these_o will_v certain_o bring_v upon_o they_o for_o this_o zealous_a freedom_n of_o his_o they_o take_v away_o his_o life_n this_o be_v a_o very_a eminent_a man_n among_o the_o jew_n there_o be_v in_o their_o write_n remarkable_a story_n concern_v he_o not_o only_o
