A11372	Wonderfull prophecies from the beginning of the monarchy of this land hidden vnder the parables of: Three young noble-men in a fiary fornace. A chast wife, and two old fornicators. The idol Belus and his dragon. Daniel in a den amid lyons. Their agreement with canonical prophecies: also in temperate defence of the apocryphals annexed to the canon of the Scriptures. Together with an essay touching the late prodigious comete; how farre forth the præsages thereof doe accord with such prophecies, as are found to pertaine to these our times. By all which, the discrete and wise in heart may gather touching things to come, what is forewarned vnto men; as for the general and publique, so also for their priuate and particular.

Yea and that by the special worke of God who otherwise could as wel haue preserued him without feeling hunger as hee did Moses in the Mount and Elijah in his journey 〈◊〉 34. 34. ●●g 19. But this was disposed by God after this manner to the end it might bee to the Prophet a corporal and natural signe incurring into the senses for the strengthening of his faith as the message of the conuersion of the Iewes shall be to the true Professors of Christ in the middest of their Terrors And herevpon is it that no sooner doth hee pray but euen before the prayer is past his lippes Isa 38. Act. 10. hee as Hezekiah and Cornelius receiueth answer of grace and graunt of his demand by an Angelical message in the hand of a louing and louely Prophet namely Hebrewe conuerts confessing Christ Which tidings brought shall amaze the Babilonians 2.
