ZECH. 12. ver. 10. 11, &c. Vers. 10. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of prayers, and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced; and they shall lament for him, as one that mourneth for his only Son, and be sorry for him, as one is sorry for his first borne. 11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddo. 12 And the land shall bewail every family apart, the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart. 13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart. 14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

IN the eight & ninth verses of this Chapter is set down a gracious promise of God, made unto the church, which should ⟨p. 2⟩be in the time of the Gospel (for that is meant by the inhabitants of Jerusalem.) Which promise is this, that he that is feeble among them: that is, the weakest Christian that made conscience of the means of his salvation, in that day should be as David: that is, equal to the most excellent in the time of the law in sundry respects: and the house of David: that is, the excellenter sort of Christians, should be as Gods house, and as the Angel of the Lord before them. The Prophet could not find any holy man, with whom he might fitly compare them, and therefore he saith, that they should be like the Angel of the covenant Christ Jesus, which went before the Israelites in the wilderness to guide and govern them.
