8. Quest. How the Rulers failed in their purpose, finding no fault at all in Daniel.

1. There are three words here vsed, they found no occasion, blame, nor fault: the first word is ghillah, which the Septuag. translate 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, the second shal••, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, the third shachitha, which the Septuag. interpret 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉: the first Polychr••nius vnderstandeth of capitall offences, the second of faults not capitall, the third of corruption in receiuing of gifts, or misgouernment, Oecolamp. Lyranus thus distinguisheth, they found no fault, in facto, in deede, not any occasion or suspition, in signo, in the least signe.

2. Whereas the words are, they sought occasion, ex latere regni, on the part or side of the kingdome: Lyranus readeth, ex latere regis, on the side of the king, giuing three interpre∣tations thereof; that they practised to remooue him from the kings side, from beeing so neare vnto him: or to accuse him, that ambiret aequalitatem regis, as though he sought to be equall to the king, and to goe, as we say, side by side with him: or they sought to picke out matter concerning the Queene, which lay at the kings side, as though Daniel had beene too familiar with her. But all these gloases are grounded vpon a false text: the words are on the side or behalfe of the kingdome, malcutha, not of the king: that is, they sought to find some fault concerning the administration of the kingdome.
