Period HEre all the world may see the vprightnes of Gods iustice in the punishment of sinne euen in his owne deare people by giuing them ouer into the hands of such cruel Kings as would not spare them whiles they were vnder their gouernment And here is set foorth verie clearelie the riches of his grace and the vnspeakablenes of his mercies in stirring and raising the hearts of those beastlie and vnnaturall kings to lenitie to fauour and to liberalitie towards them as he did to the Aegyptians to lend them costlie vessells and rich iewells whom they had before most bitterlie ransacked and vnnaturallie robbed Heere you shall see a true proportion of the Church of Antichrist whose earthlie glorie reached vnto the heauens and whose dominions mounted ouer all yet their ende is with a flood or with fire destruction irrecouerable And who seeth not in this booke the wonderfull prouidence of GOD and the worke of his aeternall spirit in Daniel recording most exactlie all that was done and spoken during their 70. yeres captiuitie and whatsoeuer else was to be performed thence foorth to Christ In this Booke of Daniel are two speciall things to be marked The one what Kings ruled in the seuentie yeares The other what Kings ruled thence vnto Christ Three kings during the captiuitie Nabucadnezzar Dan. 1 2 3 4.
