THE ARGVMENT.
VVhen the time of the seuentie yeeres captiuitie prophecied by Ieremiah, was expired, God raised vp
Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi to comfort the Iewes and to exhort them to the building of the
Temple, which was a figure of the spirituall Temple and Church of God, whose perfection and excellencie
stood in Christ. And because that all were giuen to their owne pleasures and commodities, hee declareth
that that plague of famine, which God sent then among them, was a iust reward of their ingratitude, in
that they contemned Gods honour, who had deliuered them. Yet he comforteth them, if they wil returne to
the Lord, with the promes of greater felicitie, for asmuch as the Lord will finish the worke that he hath begun,
and send Christ whom he had promised, and by whom they should atteine to perfite ioy and glory.
