Chapter 2 Of the man that toke hotte burnyng coales out of the middle of the Wheeles of the Cherubims 8 A rehearsall of the vision of the wheeles of the beastes and of the Cherubims 1 AND as I loked beholde in the firmament that was aboue the head of the Cherubims as it were a Saphir stone made lyke the similitude of a throne was seene ouer them 2 Then spake he to hym that had the lynnen rayment vpon hym and sayde Crepe in betwene the wheeles that are vnder the Cherub and take thine hand full of hotte coales out from betwene the Cherubims and scatter them ouer the citie And he crept in that I myght see 3 Nowe the Cherubims stoode vpon the ryght syde of the house when the man went in and the cloude fylled the inner court 4 And the glorie of the Lorde remoued from the Cherubims and came vpon the doore of the house so that the temple was full of cloudes and the court was full of the shine of the Lordes glorie 5 Yea and the sounde of the Cherubims winges was hearde into the fore court lyke as it had ben the voyce of the almightie God when he speaketh 6 Nowe when he had bidden the man that was clothed in lynnen saying Take fire from the middest of the wheeles which were vnder the Cherubims he went and stoode besyde the wheeles 7 Then one Cherub reached foorth his hande from betwene the Cherubims vnto the fire that was betwene the Cherubims and toke therof and gaue it into the handes of hym that had on the lynnen rayment which toke it and went out 8 And vnder the wynges of the Cherubims there appeared the likenesse of a mans hande 9 I loked also and behold foure wheeles beside the Cherubims one wheele by one Cherub and another by another Cherub and the wheeles were to loke vpon after the fashion of the precious stone Tharsis 10 As touchyng their appearaunce they were all foure of one fashion as yf one wheele had ben in another 11 When they went foorth they went vpon their foure sides not turnyng backe in their goyng for which way the head of the first loked after it they went so that they turned not backe in their goyng 12 And their whole bodyes their backes their handes and wynges yea and the wheeles also were full of eyes rounde about the foure wheeles 13 And to the wheeles he cryed to them in my hearyng O wheele 14 Euery one of them had foure faces so that the face of the first was the face of a Cherub and the face of the seconde the face of a man and of the thirde the face of a lion and of the fourth the face of an egle 15 And the Cherubims were lyfted vp This is the beast that I sawe at the water of Chebar 16 Nowe when the Cherubims went the wheeles went by them and when the Cherubims lyft vp their wynges to mount vp from the earth the same wheeles also turned not from besides them 17 Shortly when they stoode these stoode also and when they were lifted vp the wheeles lift vp them selues also with them for the spirite of the beast was in the wheeles 18 Then the glorie of the Lorde departed from aboue the doore of the temple and remayned vpon the Cherubims 19 And the Cherubims flackered with their wynges and lyft them selues vp from the earth so that I sawe when they went the wheeles besides them and they stoode at the doore of the east gate of the house of the Lorde so the glorie of the God of Israel was vpon them on hye 20 This is the beast that I sawe vnder the God of Israel by the riuer of Chebar and I perceaued that it was the Cherubims 21 Euery one had foure faces and euery one foure wynges and vnder their wynges the likenesse of mens handes 22 Touchyng the similitude of their countenaunces they were the very same countenaunces which I sawe at the riuer Chebar and the selfe same appearaunces euery one in his goyng went strayght forwarde The .xj.

ye tell me the dreame and the interpretation therof ye shall receaue of me giftes rewardes and great honour therefore shewe me the dreame and the interpretation therof 7 They aunswered againe and said The king must shewe his seruauntes the dreame and so shal we declare the interpretation therof 8 Then the king aunswered saying I perceaue of a trueth that ye would redeeme the time for so much as ye see the thing is gone fro me 9 Therfore if ye wil not tel me the dreame this is your only purpose ye haue prepared liyng corrupt wordes to speake before me til the time be chaunged therfore tell me the dreame that I may knowe that ye can declare me the interpretation therof 10 Vpon this the Chaldees gaue aunswere before the king and sayde There is no man vpon earth that can tell the thing which the king speaketh of yea there is neither king prince nor lorde that euer asked such thinges at a wyse man soothsayer or Chaldean 11 For it is a rare matter that the king requireth neither is there any that can certifie the king therof except the gods whose dwelling is not with fleshe 12 For the which cause the king was wroth with great indignation commaunded to destroy al the wise men at Babylon 13 So the decree went foorth and the wise men were slayne they sought also to slay Daniel with his companions 14 Then Daniel stayed the counsell and decree with Arioch the captayne of the kinges garde who was gone foorth to put to death the wise men of Babylon 15 He aunswered and sayde vnto Arioch the kinges captayne why is the sentence so hastie from the king Then Arioch tolde Daniel the matter 16 Vpon this went Daniel and desired the king that he woulde geue him leysure and that he would shewe the king the interpretation 17 Then Daniel went to his house and shewed the thing to Ananias Misael and Azarias his companions 18 That they shoulde beseche the God of heauen for grace in this secrete that Daniel and his felowes with other such as were wyse in Babylon perished not 19 Then was the secrete reuealed vnto Daniel in a vision by night then Daniel praysed the God of heauen 20 Daniel also aunswered and said The name of God be praysed for euer euer for wysdome and strength are his 21 He chaungeth the times and seasons he taketh away kinges he setteth vp kinges he geueth wysdome vnto the wyse and vnderstanding to those that vnderstande 22 He reuealeth the deepe secrete thinges he knoweth the thing that lieth in darknesse for the light dwelleth with him 23 I thanke thee and prayse thee O thou God of my fathers that thou hast geuen me wisdome and strength and hast shewed me now the thing that we desired of thee for thou hast declared the kinges matter vnto vs. 24 Vpon this went Daniel in vnto Arioch whom the king had ordeined to destroy the wise men at Babylon he went and sayde thus vnto him Destroy not the wyse men of Babylon but bring me before the king and I shall shewe the king the interpretation 25 Then Arioch brought Daniel before the king in all the haste and sayde thus vnto him I haue founde a man among the children of Iuda that were brought captiues that will declare vnto the king the interpretation 26 Then aunswered the king and sayd vnto Daniel whose name was Baltassar Art thou able to shewe me the dreame which I haue seene and the interpretation therof 27 Daniel aunswered in the presence of the king and sayd As for this secrete for the whiche the king maketh inquisition there can neither the men of vnderstanding nor soothsayers nor the wyse men nor readers of destinies declare it vnto the king 28 But there is a God in heauen that reuealeth secretes sheweth the king Nabuchodonozor what is for to come in the latter dayes Thy dreame and that whiche thou hast seene in thyne head vpon thy bed is this 29 O king when thou wast in thy bed thoughtes came into thy mynde what should come hereafter so he that is the opener of misteries telleth thee what is for to come 30 As for me this secrete is not shewed me for any wysdome that I haue more then any other liuing but onely that I might shew the king the interpretation and that thou mightest knowe the thoughtes of thyne owne heart 31 Thou king sawest and beholde there was a great image this great image whose brightnesse was excellent stoode before thee and the fourme therof was terrible 32 This images head was of fine gold his brest and armes of siluer his belly and his thighes of brasse 33 His legges were of iron his feete were part of iron and part of clay 34 Thou beheldest it till a stone was cut without handes which smote the image vpon his feete that were of iron clay and brake them to peeces 35 Then was the iron the clay the brasse the siluer and gold broken al together became like y e chaffe of sommer floores and the winde caryed them away that no place was found for them the stone that smote the image became a great mountayne and filled the whole earth 36 This is the dreame and now will we shew before the king what it meaneth 37 O king thou art a king of kinges for the God of heauē hath geuen vnto thee a kingdome power strength glorie 38 And in all places whersoeuer the children of men dwell the beastes of the fielde and the foules of the aire hath he geuen into thy hande and hath made thee ruler in them all thou art this head of golde 39 After thee shall arise another kingdome inferior to thee another third kingdome shal be of brasse whiche shall beare rule ouer all the earth 40 The fourth kingdome shal be strong as iron for as iron breaketh in peeces and subdueth all thinges and as iron bruiseth all these thinges so shall it breake in peeces and bruise all 41 Where as thou sawest the feete toes parte of potters clay part of iron the kingdome shal be deuided but there shal be in it of the strength of the iron for so much as thou sawest the iron mixt with the clay and earth 42 And as the toes of the feete were part of iron and part of clay so shal the kingdome be part strong and part broken 43 And wheras thou sawest iron mixt with clay and earth they shall mingle themselues with the seede of men and yet not ioyne one with another as iron will not be mixt with clay 44 And in the dayes of these kinges shall the God of heauen set vp a kingdome which shall neuer be destroyed and this kingdome shall not be geuen ouer to another people but it shall breake and destroy al these kingdomes and it shal stand for euer 45 Like as thou sawest that without any handes
they would serue or worship any God except their owne God onely 29 Therfore I make a decree that euery people nation language which speake any blasphemie against the God of Sidrach Misach and Abednego shal be drawen in peeces and their houses shal be made a iakes because there is no God that can deliuer after this sort 30 So the king promoted Sidrach Misach and Abednego in the prouince of Babylon The .iiii. Chapter 4 Nabuchodonozor dreameth againe 8 Daniel interpreth it 29 Nabuchodonozor it put out of his realme and eateth with beastes 34 He confesseth the power of God and is restored vnto his kingdome 1 NAbuchodonozor king vnto all people natiōs and languages that dwel vpon the whole earth peace be multiplied among you 2 I thought it good to shewe the signes marueylous workes that the hie God hath wrought vpō me 3 O how great are his signes and howe mightie are his wonders his kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome his dominion is frō generation to generation 4 I Nabuchodonozor beyng at rest in my house and florishing in my palace 5 Sawe a dreame whiche made me afrayde and the thoughtes vpon my bed with the visiōs of my head troubled me 6 Therfore made I a decree that they shoulde bring all the wyse men of Babylon before me that they might declare vnto me the interpretatiō of the dreame 7 So came the wyse men the soothsayers the Chaldeans and wisardes to whom I tolde the dreame but they coulde not shewe me the interpretation therof 8 Till at the last Daniel came before me whose name was Baltassar according to the name of my God which hath the spirite of the holy gods in hym before him I tolde the dreame saying 9 O Baltassar thou prince of wyse men forsomuch as I knowe that thou hast the spirite of the holy gods no secrete troubleth thee tell me therefore the visions of my dreame that I haue seene and the interpretation therof 10 Thus were the visions of my head vpon my bed And behold I saw a tree in the mids of the earth and the heyght therof was great 11 A great tree and strong and the heyght therof reached vnto the heauen and the sight thereof to the endes of all the earth 12 The leaues therof were fayre and the fruite therof much and in it was meate for all the beastes of the fielde had shadowes vnder it and the foules of the aire dwelt in the bowes therof al fleshe fed of it 13 I sawe in the visions of my head vpon my bed and beholde a watcher and a holy one came downe from heauen 14 And cryed mightily saying thus Hew downe the tree breake of his braunches shake of his leaues scatter his fruite abroade that the beastes may get them away from vnder hym and the foules from his braunches 15 Neuerthelesse leaue the stumpe of his rootes still in the earth and with a band of iron and brasse binde it among the grasse of the fielde let it be wet with the deawe of heauen and let his portion be with the beastes among the grasse of the fielde 16 Let his heart be chaunged from mans nature and let a beastes heart be geued vnto hym and let seuen times be passed ouer hym 17 This sentence is according to the decree of the watchers and the request according to the word of the holy ones because liuing men should knowe that the hyghest hath power ouer the kingdome of men and geueth it to whom it liketh hym and setteth vp ouer it the basest among men 18 This is the dreame that I king Nabuchodonozor haue seene therfore thou O Baltassar declare the interpretation therof forsomuch as al the wyse men of my kingdome are not able to shewe me what it meaneth but thou caust do it for the spirite of the holy gods is in thee 19 Then Daniel whose name was Baltassar held his peace by the space of one houre and his thoughtes troubled him So the king spake and sayde O Baltassar let neither the dreame nor the interpretation thereof trouble thee Baltassar aunswered saying O my Lord this dreame be to them that hate thee the interpretation therof to thyne aduersaries 20 As for the tree that thou sawest which was great and mightie whose heyght reached vnto the heauen and the sight therof through all the world 21 Whose leaues were fayre and the fruite therof much and in it was meate for all vnder the which the beastes of the fielde had their habitation and vpon whose braunches the foules of the aire did sit 22 It is thou O king whiche art great and mightie for thy greatnesse increaseth reacheth vnto the heauen so doth thy dominion to the endes of the earth 23 But wheras the king saw a watcher and a holy one that came downe from heauen and sayd Hewe downe the tree destroy it yet leaue the stumpe of the rootes therof in the earth and with a band of iron brasse binde it among the grasse of the fielde let it be wet with the dewe of the heauen and let his portion be with the beastes of the fielde till seuen times passe ouer him 24 This O king is the interpretation yea it is y e very decree of hym that is hyghest of al and it toucheth my lord the king 25 Thou shalt be cast out from men and thy dwelling shal be with the beastes of the fielde with grasse shalt thou be fed like oxen thou must be wet with the deawe of the heauen yea seuē times shall passe ouer thee till thou knowe that the hyghest hath power ouer the kingdome of men geueth it to whom he list 26 Moreouer where as it was sayd that the stumpe of the roote of the tree should be left still it betokeneth that thy kingdome shall remayne whole vnto thee after thou hast learned to knowe that the power commeth from heauen 27 Wherfore O king let my counsel be acceptable vnto thee and breake of thy sinnes by righteousnesse and thyne iniquities by mercie towarde the poore lo let there be a healing of thyne errour 28 All these thinges touche the king Nabuchodonozor 29 So after twelue monethes the king walked in the palace of the kingdome of Babylon 30 And the king spake sayd Is not this great Babylon that I haue buylt for the house of the kingdome by the might of my power and for the honour of my maiestie 31 Whyle these wordes were yet in the kinges mouth there fell a voyce from heauen saying O king Nabuchodonozor to thee be it spoken Thy kingdome is departed from thee 32 And thou shalt be cast out of mens companie thy dwelling shal be with the beastes of
