The argument and method. 2. The diuers readings. 3. The questions discussed. 4. Doctrines noted. 5. Controversies handled. 6. Morall observations applyed. Wherein many obscure visions, and diuine prophesies are opened, and difficult questions handled with great breuitie, perspicuitie, and varietie ... and the best interpreters both old and new are therein abridged. Diuided into two bookes ... By Andrevv Willet Professour of Diuinitie. The first booke.

13. Quest. How Daniels custome in opening the windowes when he prayed, agreeth with our Sauiours precept, Matth. 6. to shut the doores of the chamber in prayer.

1. Our blessed Sauiour must not be vnderstood in that place, to speake simply and abso∣lutely, as though it were not lawfull but to pray priuately in the chamber, the doores beeing shut: for then it should not be lawfull to pray publikely, or in the hearing of others: but that

precept is vttered, as we say, secundum quid, in a certaine respect, and by way of comparison, that it were better secessum quaerer••, to seeke a secret place to pray in, then to presse into the sight of men, to shewe our deuotion.

2. The ende must be considered, which our Sauiour there aymeth that, which is to take heede of vaine glorie in our prayer: which ende is here obserued by Daniel, who in opening his windowes did not seeke the praise of men, sed se palam Dei cultorem commonstrabat, but onely shewed himselfe openly a worshipper of God, Bulling.
