be found word for word in Isaiah, Chap. 40. Vers. 13. where the Greek Terms are the same that are used by St. Paul. St. Basil, L. de Spir. Sancto, Ch. 5. Ter∣tullian in his fifth Book against Marcion, Ch. 14. St. Ambrose, or rather the Author of the Com∣mentaries upon St. Paul, that are falsly attribu∣ted to him, Peter Lombard, and several others observe, that it is taken out of Isaiah.

Theophilus says, that Zechariah is the last of the Prophets, and concludes the Holy Scripture with Ezrah.
