The Prophecy of Aggeus — Book Argument — Modern Spelling (1582/1609)
THE PROPHECY OF AGGEUS.
Argument: Aggeus prophesying in the second year of1 Darius Histaspis king of Persians, that is, in the 18th year after the relaxation from captivity of Babylon, exhorteth to reedify the Temple, which had been begun and intermitted; promising much prosperity after the building thereof, and finally the coming of Christ desired of all nations2; who by his presence will glorify this new temple, more than the former built by Salomon; and especially prophesieth the glory of his Catholic Church, which shall much excel the Church of the old Testament.
