John Trapp on Daniel 5:26-27

Ver. 26. Mene, God hath numbred thy kingdom] He hath caſt up thy reckonings, taken account of thy mal-adminiſtration, and calleth for ſatisfaction. So he dealt with Pharaoh King of Egypt; Cum duplicarentur lateres, venit Moſes, when the tale of bricks was doubled, then came Moſes: and when the four hundred or the four hundred and thirty years of their Captivity in Egypt were exacty expired, the ſame night were the firſt-born ſlain. So the tyranny of the Roman Emperours was numbred at the end of three hundred years after Chriſt, when they, ſounding the triumph before the victory, had fooliſhy engaven upon pillars of marble theſe bubbles of words, Nomine Chriſtianorum deleto qui Remp. evertebant, We have utterly rooted out the name of Chriſtians thoſe traytours to the Commonwealth. So, laſtly, God hath numbred the Popes kingdom, and well-nigh finiſhed it. Let him look to the year 1666. Tis plain, Satan ſhall be tyed up a thouſand years: 666 is the number of the beaſt; Antichriſt ſhall ſo long reign; theſe two together make the juſt number.

Jupiter ipſe duas aequato examine lances Sulline[illegible: 1 letter]. Virg. Ver. 27. Tekel, Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting] As the former was a term taken from creditours, ſo this from light coyn; deprehenſus et minus habere, thou art not currant. Others may think thee weighty enough and worthy, but God pondereth the hearts, Prov. 22.2. and findeth thee fit to be refuſed, ut nummus reprobu[illegible: 1 letter].
