John Trapp on Daniel 4:34-35

Ver. 34. And at the end of the dayes] When my pride was now ſubdued; but hardly to ſound converſion.

I Nebuchadnezzar lift up mine eyes] Happy he if with Simeon, his eyes had ſeen Gods ſalvation. Many are humbled but not humble; low but not lowly.

And mine underſtanding returned] The uſe of his reaſon, whereof he had been bereft, and an opinion put into him that he was a beaſt. Mad men are apt to think themſelves Kings, horſes, or other creatures then they are.

Whoſe dominion is everlaſting] A natural man will ſooner confeſſe God to be true, juſt, powerful, wiſe, &c. then merciful: and all becauſe the love of God is not ſhed abroad in his heart by the holy Ghoſt, Rom. 5.5.

Diſce hominis [non-Latin text not transcribed], & ut ita dicam nihilitatem.Ver. 35. And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing] He who hath ſeen any part of Gods greatneſſe, will ſoon ſee his own vileneſſe, and the worlds nothingneſſe.
