And God commanded, take those rags away,
and give him change of rayment at my Word,
So then they gave him change of rayment brighter,
And on his head they set a comely Mitre.
Then did the Angel of the Lord protest
if thou, O Joshua, wilt observe my charge,
Then will I give thee Walks among the rest,
to judge my House and keep my Courts at large:
Hear now, O Joshua, my Priest desired,
Thou, and thy fellows that are men admired.
2. PART.
Zec. 3.8, 9. Heb. 10.14.
Behold I will bring forth and will advance
my choice elected, the foundation stone,
My chosen servant who is call'd the Branch,
my Well-beloved, and the Holy one,
That is endow'd above all mortal merit
With all the Graces of my Holy Spirit.
I will engrave with graving of my hand
concerning him the Lord of Hosts doth say,
And those Iniquities of all the Land
I will remove and quit in one short day:
For by one Offering made by him that died
Perfect for ever are the sanctified.
And in that day, as saith the Lord of Hosts,
such amity and unity shall be,
That they shall call their friends in all the Coasts
under the Vine and under the Fig-tree;
Let Israel's God be magnifi'd therefore
And people say Amen, for evermore.
