these_o and_o many_o more_o scripture_n that_o may_v be_v add_v we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o candlestick_n with_o the_o lamp_n and_o pipe_n viz._n the_o minister_a vessel_n unto_o the_o lamp_n and_o candelstick_a be_v the_o same_o that_o god_n show_v unto_o moses_n in_o the_o pattern_n and_o appoint_v it_o to_o remain_v in_o the_o temple_n and_o after_o that_o pattern_n it_o be_v make_v in_o

haggai_n who_o speak_v of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n he_o will_v tell_v we_o that_o zerubbabel_n and_o joshua_n according_a to_o zechariahs_n word_n that_o he_o shall_v lay_v the_o

it_o relate_v only_o to_o the_o rebuild_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o temple_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o seventy_o year_n captivity_n but_o in_o it_o be_v a_o prophecy_n of_o the_o redify_n of_o

that_o anon_o but_o in_o a_o short_a sentence_n i_o further_o add_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o prophecy_n of_o zechariah_n chap._n 4._o most_o primely_a relate_v to_o the_o redify_n of_o jerusalem_n at_o their_o come_n out_o of_o the_o seventy_o year_n of_o captivity_n because_o that_o both_o haggai_n and_o zechariah_n have_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o they_o both_o at_o that_o time_n as_o to_o haggai_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o he_o in_o the_o six_o &_o seven_o month_n in_o the_o second_o year_n of_o darius_n chap._n 1.1_o chap._n 2.1_o and_o to_o zechariah_n it_o come_v in_o the_o eight_o month_n in_o the_o same_o year_n zech._n 1.1_o and_o the_o work_n of_o both_o prophet_n be_v to_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n to_o the_o work_n of_o building_n of_o the_o house_n of_o god_n for_o they_o be_v hinder_v by_o subtlety_n in_o the_o day_n of_o cyrus_n because_o that_o zerubbabel_n and_o joshua_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o father_n will_v not_o let_v the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n build_v with_o they_o as_o you_o may_v see_v at_o large_a in_o ezra_n 4.1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o that_o they_o at_o

of_o the_o lord_n stir_v they_o up_o by_o the_o two_o fore_n mention_v prophet_n namely_o haggai_n and_o zechariah_n that_o they_o may_v go_v on_o to_o finish_v the_o work_n for_o zerubbabel_n have_v

with_o the_o word_n of_o zechariah_n chap._n 4.9_o in_o these_o word_n the_o hand_n of_o zerubbabel_n have_v lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o this_o house_n his_o hand_n also_o shall_v finish_v it_o

that_o what_o i_o have_v say_v be_v undeniable_o true_a and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o zechariah_n speak_v of_o in_o chap._n 4._o which_o mr._n henden_fw-ge will_v have_v to_o be_v a_o

the_o four_o quarter_n of_o the_o earth_n hold_v the_o four_o wind_n and_o the_o withhold_a the_o four_o wind_n be_v universal_a and_o the_o hurt_n to_o all_o the_o unseal_v israelite_n prove_v not_o

by_o the_o locust_n and_o beast_n which_o can_v in_o no_o sense_n be_v apply_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o all_o that_o i_o have_v be_v contend_v about_o be_v that_o those_o that_o be_v not_o hurt_v be_v the_o jew_n which_o be_v the_o seal_a number_n and_o here_o mr._n henden_fw-ge say_v the_o hurt_n introduce_v by_o the_o locust_n and_o beast_n be_v unto_o the_o nation_n i_o understand_v he_o gentile_n for_o he_o say_v it_o can_v be_v apply_v unto_o the_o jew_n and_o if_o the_o hurt_n can_v be_v apply_v unto_o the_o jew_n then_o upon_o his_o own_o argument_n the_o jew_n be_v the_o seal_a

with_o chap._n 11.2_o we_o may_v clear_o see_v say_v mr._n henden_fw-ge that_o the_o nation_n possess_v the_o court_n without_o the_o temple_n answ_n it_o be_v true_a the_o nation_n or_o gentile_n do_v take_v the_o outward_a court_n before_o it_o be_v measure_v viz._n wall_v and_o do_v tread_v the_o holy_a city_n under_o foot_n for_o which_o cause_n the_o lord_n send_v those_o plague_n on_o the_o nation_n when_o he_o have_v seal_v the_o tribe_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v hurt_v by_o the_o plague_n of_o the_o locust_n or_o angel_n although_o they_o be_v trouble_v and_o persecute_v by_o the_o beast_n for_o which_o cause_n god_n send_v plague_n upon_o he_o as_o he_o do_v upon_o pharaoh_n king_n of_o egypt_n for_o the_o case_n may_v be_v fit_o parallel_v with_o israel_n suffering_n in_o egypt_n by_o pharaoh_n king_n of_o egypt_n and_o as_o god_n send_v several_a kind_n of_o plague_n on_o pharaoh_n for_o his_o cruelty_n exercise_v against_o his_o people_n israel_n even_o so_o will_v the_o lord_n send_v several_a kind_n of_o plague_n upon_o the_o antichrist_n and_o his_o follower_n the_o nation_n for_o their_o cruelty_n again_o the_o very_a same_o people_n viz_o jew_n for_o his_o love_n unto_o they_o be_v a_o everlasting_a love_n and_o therefore_o will_v he_o have_v compassion_n on_o they_o and_o gather_v they_o and_o destroy_v all_o their_o enemy_n according_a to_o his_o word_n and_o thus_o i_o pass_v this_o reason_n also_o say_v that_o although_o it_o be_v not_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v alligorise_v in_o the_o vision_n of_o this_o book_n yet_o it_o be_v meet_a that_o we_o distinguish_v between_o reason_n and_o madness_n and_o take_v heed_n of_o make_v a_o alligory_n of_o that_o which_o be_v plain_o to_o be_v

come_v to_o the_o six_o and_o last_o reason_n cite_v by_o mr._n henden_fw-ge to_o prove_v that_o the_o seal_a number_n be_v gentile_n which_o be_v say_v he_o the_o number_n seal_v from_o among_o

nor_o utter_o deceive_v by_o the_o beast_n i_o understand_v your_o judgement_n be_v that_o they_o be_v deceive_v although_o not_o utter_o deceive_v it_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o a_o curious_a

they_o shall_v deceive_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a the_o very_a elect_a imply_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o decive_v they_o and_o three_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v the_o same_o seal_a one_o
