Daniel7:13

Ver. 13. I ſaw in the night viſions, &c.] Here comes in the fifth Monarchy (properly ſo called) the kingdom being wreſted from the fourth tyrant. Well might Hierom call Daniel Polyhiſtora, the general Hiſtorian.

And behold one like the ſon of man] So Chriſt ſhewed himſelf oft to the Fathers, before his Incarnation, for their confirmation in that Article, which being the ground of his Paſſion was to be eſpecially believed, for the foundation of Chriſtian faith. Chriſts Godhead alſo (another main Article) is here not obſcurely deciphered, whileſt he is ſaid to be like the ſon of man; therefore he is more then a mere man. Again, he came with the clouds: confer Mat. 24.30. Then ſhall they ſee the ſon of man coming in the clouds, as in his charet of State. Adde hereunto his ſolemn glorious acceſſe unto the Father (that Ancient of dayes, that is the Eternal God) as being his Co[illegible: 1 letter]qual, of the ſame nature, power, glory, &c. with his Father, and Coeternal unto him. So the Lamb is ſaid to approach to him that ſat upon the Throne, to receive the Book, Rev. 5.7.

Et qui aſſiſteba[illegible: 2 letters] ei abtulerant eum, ſic Cyprian. legit. And they brought him near before him] The Angels did: as great mens Attendants are ſaid to bring their Maſters to the Court.
