Daniel7:25

Ver. 25. And he ſhall ſpeak great words] As Pope Julius the third did: when he called for his pork-fleſh (forbidden him by his Phyſician as naught for his gout) al despito di Dio in deſpite of God:Act. & Mon. 1417. and miſſing a cold Peacock which he commanded to be ſet up for his ſupper, he raged extreamly at his ſteward: and being deſired to be more patient, he replied, If God were ſo angry with our firſt Parents for an apple; may not I, who am his Vicar, be ſo much more for my Peacock! See on Rev. 13.5.

And ſhall think to change times and laws] i. e. He ſhall uſurp a power over religion, and mens conſciences, ſet up holydayes, canonize Saints, appoint faſts, order times, &c.

Ʋntill a time and times and half a time] i. e. Untill that time which God alone knoweth, and hath in his power.
