bisshoprik of Ierusalem to the epicure preistis which gaue him licence to prophane and spoile the temple euen so nowe do the popes and bisshopes geue the same lycence to seculare emprours kinges that their selfes might still make Mayzim yea thei haue geuen grete giftis and promocions to Eccius Cocleus Emser Pighius Latomus and Alphōs and to siche popish preistes and phariseis to write to dispute

great arrogancye he lyfted vp himself with crakis and bostes so that therby the dayly perpetuall sacrifice was taken awaye and the seat of the sanctuary of god was subuerted And the heuēly hoste with their dayly perpetuall sacrifices were geuen vp into his hand is for their synne● and he scourged down the trewth to the grounde and cōmitted this cruel mischeif prosperously When the Babylony ▪ kingdome was now at an ende and daniel had sen● the Perses to haue the empyre this vision was shewed him to th entent he shuld teche his chirche how that both vnder the Medis and Perses the conquirers

prophecie of the vprysinge and fall of the kingdōs of Cyrus Alexander Antiochus the very pesielence of the Iewes The Ram standing at the Persi●●loude signifieth Cyrus the duke and leaderforth of the Persies He is called the two horned because he ledforth the hostes of both the Medis and Persies For his ii hornes signifye these two hostes This Rammis greatest hyghe horne signifieth Cyrus y e king of Persie the hayer at last of all Mede yea and made the king of all the kingdome This Ram to runne with his hornes ayenst the west north sowth signifieth him comen from the ●ast out of Persie to haue faughten ayenste all men that is to weyt ayenste the Arabies and Egypcions which lye sowthe ●ayenst the Assyriēs and Palestyns lyinge west from him and ayenst the Lidions and Capadocies lying north No beast to might haue stande ayenst him signifieth him beinge king of Persie to triumphe and haue the victory of all other kingdōs To do therfore what he lysted wexing so great a victour signifieth the kingdom of Persie so prosperously to haue had succeded that Cyrus as it is red gouerned 120. prouinces whose Monarchie dured about 200. yeres Now whether this Ram was fygure to any of oure present crysten realmes let the diligent obseruers of tymes states and realmes loke and they can espye it whyles we treate and talke of the Gote that is of Alexander king of the Grekis Here the Gote as afore the Leoparde signifye the same king euen great Alexander The nature of these two beastes agre well with the properties of the kinges of Grece The Gote maye well clyme and skip The dukis of y e Grekis were valeant both in counsels and in their busines decreed swiftly to be performed In counsell geuinge in delibering in decerning thinges delybered in thinges decreed spedely to be finisshed in espyinge an apte occasion who were more ingenio●se and clearer witted then Philip and Alexander But as y e Leopardes or spotted pantheres albeit they hunteoute all beastis and feare no darte nor spere for they smyte them of with their swiftnes yet with wyne are they made dronken then aftir their lustes one leapinge the other made weary are thei taken Euen so the kings Philip and Alexander ouercoming all and nothing fearing they were so ouercomen of wyne and lechery that the one was destroyed of voluptuosnes and dronkenes kylled the tother The leopardes be desyerouse of wyne and therfore there hunters powerforth wyne nyghe their haunted places and a certayn space of they set downe y e hole great vessell full of myne the sauour whereof drawth the panthers or leopards for both be one saue the pardus is the male and the panther the female oute of their dennes which when they haue all dronken oute and be made dronken thei playe their lustis togyther so that at laste they made weary fall downe to sleap And then come the armed honters and take them Euen so haue ther bene many valeant prudent princes but in cōclusion by lustis intemperance and drōkenes they perisshed destroyd wretchedly As were Philip and Alexander and aftir them Demetriu● and the later Philip which thinge hath happened to many men sence it chaunceth yet to many Noble valeant princes fortunat in all their affayers warres victories neuer shrinking nor flying bak haue there bene which at last haue bene cowerdly broken casten downe of their owne lustis haue had a miserable tragi ende their nature before clene changed and themselues deformed and destroyd in their owne fylthy dronken lecherose lustis Also let vs see the descripcion of the lande for that this Gote came from the west vpon the face of all the erth and atteyned or lyted not vpon the erth Which signifieth Ale vander coming forth from Grece to inuade estewarde then sowthwarde at ●ast northwarde in short space subdewed all the world vnto him To not towche nor lyte vpon the earth it is sayd because he beginning in his .xx. yere did in a maner flye ouer all the worlde was made the emperour of all the worlde in the xxxii yeare of his age wherin he dyed not for age nor in victorye but with voluptuosnes and wyne was he oppressed Wherfore that prominent great horne of the Gote in his most s●rength broken of signifyeth the mighty power of great Alexander smyten downe in his cheif flowers Whether ther be yet any siche Gotis let their fortune declare them the clere eyed obserue it But whom did he so smyte with his horne● verely euen y e ram before the floude For as in floudis one sourge soupeth vp deuoureth a nother euen so one of these kingdoms de●oured vp another the later swellowd vp y e former And how the Persik kingdome was translated to the Grekis and the Greke empyre of Alexander diuided into y e Macedonyk Syriac Asiatik Egypt kingdoms which all Daniel by all his wordes of the Ram and Gote will teche it is plentuos lyer described of Diodoro Curtio Iustino c. Now to the lytle horne sprongen vp out of these .iiii. hornes that is to saye of Antiocho Epiphane The lytle horne signifieth Antiochum Epiphanem descendinge out of the stock of Seleucus holdinge Syriam aftir the death of
