John Trapp on Daniel 4:19

Ver. 19. Then Daniel (whoſe name was Belteſhazzar] Which name he took no felicity at all in, but the contrary. Nevertheleſſe for the Chaldaeans ſake in whoſe tongue he wrot theſe things, and at whoſe good he therein aimed, he here addeth it.

Was aſtoniſhed for an hour] So was not Nebuchadnezzar, who was the man concerned. Ea fere eſt improborum ſecuritas: the godly who have leſſe cauſe are affrighted oft, when the wicked are hardened: See Habak. 3.16. with the Note.Brad. But they who tremble not in time of threatning, ſhall be cruſhed to pieces in time of puniſhing.

My Lord, the dream be to them that hate thee] Daniel, after a certain pauſe, makes this mannerly preamble to the interpretation of the dream, which could not be very pleaſing. But truth muſt be ſpoken however it be taken. So Philo brings in Joſeph prefacing to the interpretation of Pharaoh's Bakers dream, Ʋtinam tale ſomnium non vidiſſes, &c. I would Sir, you had not ſo dreamed: but ſith you have, I muſt deal plainly with you.
