John Trapp on Daniel 6:17

Ver. 17. And a ſtone was brought and laid upon the mouth of the den] To make all ſute, as they thought; and that there might be no privy packings with the keepers, for Daniels deliverance. But God had an holy hand in it for the greater manifeſtation of the miracle.

And the King ſealed it] Ne videlicet aliâ perimeretur morte ab inſidiatoribus, ſaith one, reſt the conſpirators, underſtanding that the Lyons did not meddle with him, ſhould ſome way elſe diſpatch him, as the Perſecutors dealt by ſome of the Martyrs.

That the purpoſe might not be changed concerning Daniel] The Latine interpreter hath it, Leſt any thing ſhould be done againſt Daniel: he feared not the Lyons ſo much as the men, ſaith the ordinary gloſſe there.
