Zechary 1.8, &c: there is a Vision of a Man riding upon a red Horse, standing among the Myrtle-trees in the bottom, and behind him, red Horses, bay, and white, (so the Hebrew); by which is figured our Saviour Christ, dwelling in the Church among the godly, and Angels ministering to him, as Chap. 1. ver. 18. The four Horns denote the Enemies of Israel who invaded them, as the Syrians, Assyrians, and Babylonians on one side, viz. the North; the Ammonites and Moabites from the East; the Edomites and Egyptians from the South, and the Philistines from the West. The four Carpenters, ver. 20. which cast out the Horns aforesaid, do figure out those Instruments which God shall make use of, and gather from all parts, to destroy the Babylonians, and those Enemies of the Church, who hindered the building of the Temple, and the City Jerusalem. Chap. 2. ver. 1. there is represented a Man, holding a measuring Line in his hand, to measure Jerusalem; by which the rebuilding of the City in time to come is denoted, Chap. 3. ver. 1. Joshua the High-Priest is represented as a Type of Christ, as is plainly intimated, ver. 8.

Chap. 4.2. there is mention of a Golden Candlestick, which is a Type of the Church, and most precious in the sight of God, the Explication of which, with reference to each individual Member, is given by our Saviour himself.
