John Trapp on Daniel 3:14

Ver. 14. Is it true, O Shadrach, Meſhac, &c.] q. d. I can very hardly believe it. Certè tu non occidiſti patrem, ſure thou didſt not kill thy father, ſaid Auguſtus Ceſar once to a parricide, whom he had in examination: And Suetonius ſaith that it was uſual with him to examine malefactors in that ſort, as if he could not believe any ſuch thing of them.Tremel. Buxto[illegible: 1 letter]f. Some render the text Num de induſtria aut certo conſilio? Do ye this on ſet purpoſe to croſs and provoke me? others (as Montanus) Nunquid deſolatio? q. d. what? you to oppoſe the command of a King? If this be ſuffered, what diſorder, yea deſolation, muſt needs follow? Pride ever aggravateth any thing done againſt its own mind.
