The Prophecy of Haggay.
The first Chapiter.
All hope was past for to return,from Babilon again:
God plagued them & al their frutes
their labours were in vain.
He found great fault they builded so,
and that his house was down:
And willed them with speed to build
his temple and his town.
The ij. Chapiter.
Beholde the glory of the house,whiche Salomon did build,
Should not be like to this (he saith)
nor no suche beautie yeeld.
God wil them blesse with plenteousnes
if they wil patient bee:
Their foes shall fall but they shall reign
and come to hie degree.
FINIS.
Haggay hath tolde his tale,
and made the people glad:
Zachariah ye shall haue next,
as yee the rest haue had.
and made the people glad:
as yee the rest haue had.
