Tertullian, on Hag 2:4

Tertullian · c. A.D. 150–220
Hag 2:4 · Douay-Rheims
“Who is left among you, that saw this house in its first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in comparison to that as nothing in your eyes?”
On this verse:
“In the next place, he was stripped of his former solid raiment and adorned with a garment down to the foot, and with a turban and a clean miter, that is, [with the garb] of the second advent; since he is demonstrated as having attained "glory and honor." [Since stripped] you will not be able to say that the man [there depicted] is the "son of Jehozadak," who was never clad in a sordid garment but was always adorned with the sacerdotal garment, nor ever deprived of the sacerdotal function.”
