The Prophecy of Zacharias — Book Argument — Modern Spelling (1582/1609)

THE PROPHECY OF ZACHARIAS.

Argument: Zacharias the son of Barachias, and nephew of Addo, beginning two months after Aggeus, exhorteth also to reedify the Temple: and sheweth by divers visions, that the Church shall flourish, partly in that time of the old Synagogue, but much more after Christ's coming: whose first and chief promulgators of his Gospel, shall be of the Jewish nation: but the far greater number shall be of the Gentiles, the Jews for their obstinacy rejected. Yet they also in the end shall return to Christ.
