Daniel2:25

25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in hast, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.

How comes Arioch to boast of what he had found; as if he got him by great search, or by great chance, and as if Daniel had been some obscure unknown person, when Daniel had asked time of the King just before. It is the manner of Courtiers to be very officious, and to commend their own little deeds, that thereby they may signifie something with their Prince, and make themselves necessary to him, but possibly Arioch might not know that Daniel had been with the King, and therefore comes with this ([non-Latin text not transcribed]) I have found your man, here he is, behold him, he will give the King full satisfaction in all, concerning the Dream.

Marginal references: Chald. that I [illegible: 1 span].; Chald. [illegible: 1 word] of the cap [illegible: 3 letters]ty of Iudah.
