“What are these, my lord?” I asked the angel who was speaking with me.
Chapter 4. Zechariah 4:1-6 1. And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep, 1. Et reversus et angelus, qui loquebatur mecum, et excitavit me, quasi virum qui excitatur (vel, evigilat) a somno suo. 2. And said unto me, What seest thou?
Commenting on Zechariah 4:1-14

It seems, though he was in conference with an angel, and about matters of great and public concern, yet he grew dull and fell asleep, as it should seem, while the angel was yet talking with him.
Commenting on Zechariah 4:1-10
