John Trapp on Zechariah 1:19

Verſe 19 And I ſaid unto the Angel that talked with me, What be theſe?] Though the viſion be dark and myſterious, yet the Prophet deſpaireth not of a right underſtanding, neither doth he waywardly reject it with a Quod non vult intelligi, vult negligi. But, wanting wisdome he asketh it of God, as St. Iames alſo adviſeth us to do chap. 1.5. and as David practiſed. Teach me good judgment and knowledge ſaith He, give me underſtanding and I ſhall obſerue thy law. Thus Daniel prayed, and had an Angel ſent to informe him, not once but often in friendly and familiar manner Dan. 9.21. and 10.11. and 11.2, 3. So had Ioſeph, Cornelius, Paul, &c. And although Angels are not ſo ready now, or appear not, at leaſt, ſo viſibly to tell us the mind of God: yet He will not be wanting to his willing ſervants; but in the uſe of meanes they ſhall be all taught of God: as David was by repayring to the Sanctuary Pſal. 73.13. and as the Eunuch was by Philip Act. 8.

theſe are the hornes which have ſcattered] Heb. toſſed them up in the ayre, as furious beaſts do with their homes,Lud de Dieu in Mat. 22.44. and ſorely bruiſed them. Num not modo diſperſionem ſignificat quae fit per modum ventilationis, ſed etiam quae fit per modum al[illegible: 1 letter]iſienis & contritionis. See Hoſ. 10.14. and 13.16.
