"The 'Benedictus' or Canticle of Zachary recalls the Precursor's mission of proclaiming the Messiah and the new alliance. It is altogether appropriate to the Office of daybreak, as ushering in the dawn of a new era. The power, which was of old in the family of David for the defence of the nation, is being restored, and in a higher and more spiritual sense.

The example and the exposure of Schlegel's misadventures in this line have not sufficed to warn off minor blunderers from treading with emulous confidence "through forthrights and meanders" in the very muddiest of their precursor's traces.
"Listen to your Councillor!" "Listen to the Prophet! The Voice of the Prophet calls upon you. Will you deny it?" The Precursor's voice shook with excitement. "This is the truth! I tell you the truth!" Bale-Corphew appealed to the people with out-stretched arms. But the tumult broke forth again. "Mystics! Mystics!"

He wheeled round, laid his hands heavily on the Precursor's shoulders, and looking closely into his face, broke into speech. "Well?" he demanded, intensely. "Well? Well? What have you to say?"
