Aggeus directed his prophesie specially to Zorobabel, and Iesus the sonne of Iosedech, and then to all the people in Iuda and Hierusalem, commaunding them to build vp againe the temple of the Lord. Lyranus in princ.
S. Austen saith, that these three prophets, Aggeus, Zachari∣as and Malachias prophecied in the end of the captiuitie. Aug. de ciuit. lib. 18. cap. 35. which yet must be vnderstood, after the
returne from the captiuitie: whereof saint Austen could not be ignorant, since it is plainely said in the first of Haggai, that in the sixt month of the second yeare of the raigne of king Darius, he receiued the gift of prophecie. This case shall appeare more clearely in the second booke, in the discourse of the first monar∣chie. In which place, marke this point attentiuely.
Haggeus, so soone as he saw the temple of Ierusalem buil∣ded with his corporall eies, (for he saw it before in vision) so soone did hee sing praises to the Lorde; and that doone, ended his life in the same place, where he was very honourably bu∣ried. Epiphanius.
