THE ARGVMENT.
This Prophet was one of the three, which God raised vp for the comfort of his Church after the captiuitie,
and after him there was no more vntill Iohn Baptist was sent, which was either a token of Gods
wrath, or an admonition that they shuld with more feruent desires looke for the c&obar;ming of Messiah. He confirmeth
the same doctrine, that the two former do, but chiefly he reproueth the Priests for their couetousnes,
and for that they serued God after their owne fantasies, and not according to the prescript of his worde. He
also noteth certaine peculiar sinnes, which were then among them, as marrying of idolatrous and manie
wiues, murmurings against God, impaciencie, and such like. Notwithstanding, for the comfort of the godly,
he declareth that God woulde not forget his promes made vnto their fathers, but woulde sende Christ his
messenger, in whome the couenant should be accomplished, whose comming shoulde be terrible to the wicked,
and bring all consolation and ioy vnto the godly.
