CHAP. VI.
By the foure charets he describeth the foure monarchies.
1 Againe, I turned and lift vp mine eyes, and
looked: and beholde, there came foure
note charets out from betweene note two mountaines,
and the mountaines were mountaines of brasse.
2 In the first charet were note red horses, and in
the second charet note blacke horses,
3 And in the thirde charet note white horses, and
in the fourth charet, horses of note diuers colours, and
reddish.
4 Then I answered, and saide vnto the Angell
that talked with mee, What are these, my
Lorde?
5 And the Angell answered, and sayde vnto
mee, These are the note foure spirites of the heauen,
which goe foorth from standing with the Lorde
of all the earth.
6 That with the blacke horse went forth into

the land of the North, and the white went out
after them, and they of diuers colours went forth
toward the note South countrey.
7 And the note reddish went out, and required
to go, and passe through the world, and he sayde,
Goe passe through the worlde. So they went
thorowout the world.
8 Then cryed hee vpon me, and spake vnto
me, saying, Beholde, these that goe towarde the
North countrey, haue pacified my note spirit in the
North countrey.
9 And the worde of the Lord came vnto me,
saying,
10 Take of them of þe; captiuitie, euen of Heldai,
and of Tobijah, and Iedaiah, which are come
from Babel, and come thou the same day, and
goe vnto the house note of Ioshiah, the sonne of Zephaniah.
11 Take euen siluer, and golde, and make
crownes, and set them vpon the note head of Iehoshua,
the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest,
12 And speake vnto him, saying, Thus speaketh
the Lord of hostes, & sayth, Behold the man
whose name is the note Branch, and he shal growe
note vp out of his place, and he shal note build the Temple
of the Lord.
13 Euen hee shall build the Temple of the
Lord, and he shall beare the note glory, and shall sit
and rule vpon his throne, and he shalbe a Priest
vpon his throne, and the counsell of peace shall
be betweene note them both.
14 And the crownes shall be to note Helem, and
to Tobijah, & to Iedaiah, and to note Hen the sonne
of Zephaniah, for a note memoriall in the Temple of
the Lord.
15 And they that are note farre off, shal come and

that the Lorde of hostes hath sent me vnto you.
And this shall come to passe, if ye will note obey the
voyce of the Lord your God.
