brethrē because the time is short hereafter let those which haue wiues bee as though they had none 1. Cor. 7. 24. And againe Redeeming the time because the daies are euil Eph. 5. 16. THE SECOND CHAPTER of the prophesie of the Prophet Haggai The first verse In the seauenth moneth the one and twentith day of the same moneth was the word of the Lorde in the hand of Haggeus the prophet saying 29. Lect. Feb. 12. THe order and number of the partes of the seconds Chapter haue wee touched in the notes Therefore omitting that whereof we haue spoken before wee will come to speake of the tymes whereof mention is made in the first verse For we haue oftentymes spoken both of the simple and also of the compounde wordes which are mentioned in this place In the same yeere from the creation of the world 3444. the fower and twentith day of October which was the seuenth daye of the feast of tabernacles the great feast of palmes was this oracle followinge published by the mouth of Haggeus The second verse Speake nowe vnto Zerubabel the sonne of Salthiel the captaine of Iehuda vnto Iehosua the sonne of Iehosadac the high priest and vnto the residue of the people saying This verse and the verse going before containe the circumstances of the persons The same may wée distinguish after this manner 1 First the author of the oracle was the Lord at whose cōmaundement also it was to be published according to that saying The Lord doth nothing vnlesse hee shall reueale his secret to his seruaunts the prophets If a Lyon roare who will not be afraid The Lord God hath spoken who shall not prophecie * Amos. 3. 7. 8 2 Secondly the Crier by whom this oracle was proclaimed was Haggeus the Prophet who did testifie before Cap. 1. 13. that hee was the ambassadour of the Lord did his message 3 Thirdly to whom the prophet reuealed the will of the Lord namely to the magistrate the priest to al the people of the Iewes For these things are to bee declared to all men which all men ought to knowe But it belongeth to all those which are of the people of God to knowe what is the holie will of God Therefore must the same bée reuealed both to those which are of great dignity and of meane estate and finally to those which are of lowe degrée that all men of what degrée soeuer they bée may fulfill the same most diligentlie Aphorismes touching the publishing of the oracles of God 1 No oracles concerning the will of God are true but such as procéede from the inspiration and reuelation of the true powre diuine Ier. 23. 16. Thus saith the Lord of hostes Heare not the wordes of the prophets which prophecie vnto you they teach you vanitie they speake the vision of their owne hearts not out of the mouth of the Lorde 17. In saying they say to those which dispise me the Lord hath saide peace shal be vpon you and to euerie one that walketh in the hardnes of his heart There shall no euill come vppon you 18. For who hath stoode in the counsell of the Lord and hath seene and hearde his woorde Who hath marked his woorde and hearde it 2 They to whom the publishing of the oracles of God is committed must speake in the name of the Lord and not in their owne name Amos. 27. 14. Amos answered Amasia I am no prophet nor the sonne of a prophet but an heard-man and a gatherer of wilde figs 15. But the Lorde tooke mee as I followed my cattell and the Lorde saide vnto mee goe prophecie vnto my people Israell 16. Nowe therefore heare the woorde of the Lord. Hee testifieth both things first that hee was called vnto the office of a prophet and secondly that in the name of God hée spake his woorde 3 And this preaching and publishing of the will of God must serue for all those which are of the people God For the oracles of God are not like to these holie things which might not be dispersed abroade amongst the common people It belongeth to all men to know them And therefore saith Christ to his disciples What things I say to you I say to all men And Paul saith Hee will haue all men that is all sortes men to be saued and to come to the knowledge of the truth 1. Tim. 2. There is no difference betwene the Iewe and the Greeke For he that is Lord ouer all is riche vnto all that call vpon him Rom. 10. 12. 4 Furthermore the faith of the auditorie must bee answerable to the dispensation of the Oracles of God Therefore let vs not be like to those of whom it is sayd The word which they heard did profit them nothing because it was not coupled with faith of those that heard it Heb. 4. 2. 5 Wee must not make a diuorse betwene faith and confession With the hart saith the Apostle man belieueth vnto righteousnes and with the mouth confession is made vnto saluation Rom. 10. 10. The same Apostle teaching vs by his owne example saith I am not ashaymed of the Gospell of Christ * Rom. 1. 16. 6 The woorkes of the hands must represent the consent which is betwéene the heart the mouth least the déedes be contrarie to the woords and the woords contrarie to the affection of the heart The heathen man said Wee must plaie the philosophers not only in word but also in deede In like sort must wée plaie the Diuines Heere wee haue an example of this harmonie or consent in this history of the people of the Iewes For by the same it doth euidently appéere that all men of what degrée so-euer they were gaue credit to the Oracles of the Lord published by Haggeus the prophet and that fearing God they set hand with all celeritie vnto the holy worke GOD graunt that we also building a spirituall Temple vnto the Lord readely and sincerely may offer our bodies a quick sacrifice acceptable vnto God and that wée may be holy in spirit soule and body 30.
