Before Christ 518. † Heb. to carry the sin of the LORD.
2 When they had sent unto the house of God, She-rezer, and Regem-melech, and their men † to pray before the LORD,
3 And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
4 ¶ Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
a Isaiah 48. 5.
5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye a fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?
¶ Or, do not ye they that, &c. || Or, Are not these the words? † Heb. by the hand of, &c.
6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, || did ye not eat for your selves, and drink for your selves?
7 || Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried † by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited, and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain?
8 ¶ And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,
† Heb. Judge judgment of truth.
9 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, † Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother.
b Exod. 22. 21, 22. Lev. 19. 15. Jer. 5. 28. † Heb. they cause backsliding.

† Heb. by the hand of.
12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant-stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit † by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.

2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, a I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
3 Thus saith the LORD, I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts, the holy mountain.
† Heb. for many made of.
4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand † for very age.
5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
6 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, If it be || marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days; should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.
|| Or, hard is it in the eyes of the remnant of this people.
7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will save my people from the east-country, and from † the west-country.
† Heb. the country of the going down of the sun.
8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God in truth and in righteousness.
9 ¶ Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
10 For before these days || there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast, neither was there any peace to him that went out, or came in, because of the affliction: for I set all men, every one against his neighbour.
|| Or, the hire of man & beast was nothing. b Hag. 1. 1.
11 But now I will not be unto the residue of this people, as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.
12 For the seed shall be † prosperous, the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew, and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.
† Heb. of peace.
13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.
14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not;
15 So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.

19 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful † feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
† Heb. feasts, or, feasts.
20 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities.
21 And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, a Let us go || † speedily † to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.

A sk ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain, so the LORD shall make ‖ bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
Or, lightning.
2 For the † idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they ‖ were troubled, because there was no shepherd.
Jerem. 10. 2. Habak. 2. 19. Hos. 10. 1. answered that, &c.
3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I † punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.

4 Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle-bow, out of him every oppressor together.
5 ¶ And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle, and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and ‖ the riders on horses shall be confounded.
Or, they shall make the riders on horses ashamed.
6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.
7 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice, as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad, their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.
8 I will hiss for them, and gather them, for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
9 And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries, and they shall live with their children, and turn again.
10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria, and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, and place shall not be found for them.
11 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.

It is Father over 16 months in service was, according to the Massachusetts records, never received but twenty five dollars and thirty five cents, per annum as his yearly annuity although he was in the 8 months service and different services testified. Will your Honor have the goodness to compare the annuity of twenty five dollars and thirty  twenty five cents, with the Law of June Seventh 1832, under which Said Daniel Lunt, was pensioned?
May it be also considered that he was a Sergeant, when in the eight months service. The Act of the Seventh of June, 1832, states the amount of a Soldiers, full pay, in said line, to

embrace the two years, of his service twenty four months, at eight Dollars, per month 24 \times 8 = 192 annuity.

I Iz a Williams, the wife of Gustavus Williams, who is the son of the late Reverend Ebenezer Williams who was the Pastor of the First Church of Christ in Falmouth in Said County, who I think died Feby. 1799 am now aged sixty six years of age. Depose that I was married to Said Gustavus Williams according to my memory A.D. 1807.
That we occupied the House of the late Eb. Williams, which we still continue to occupy -
And that there cannot be any doubt but that the Said Ebenezer Williams, married the late Sarah Lunt to Sally Lock and after her decease to Mary the widow of Isaac Roff - by both of which wives there were children By the first Persis Roff and her two brothers - by the second, Deborah Sweetser, Elias Lunt Benj. Lunt and several others.
I further testify that I am well acquainted with all the parties.

The reason why I think they were married, is that Mr. Daniel Lent, and both of his wives - were of good families, and the question of their marriage I never heard disputed.
And I further depose, that I myself, destroyed by burning, some old papers from a barrel and bag - and have never been able since to find (when called on), any of his marriage records -
I therefore presume that the Records of their marriages were at that time burned. Attest, Mary Williams. Iza Williams. R. F. Cummings.
