Because he beleeued in God: not as the Latine hath, he beleeued God, for in the text there is the preposition beth: And hereby is signified, not a generall apprehension onely, that God was true of his promises, and that he was the onely true God, creator of heauen and earth: as the Romanists doe affirme faith to be nothing else, but generally to beleeue, what so∣euer is contained in the word of God to be true, Bellar. lib. 1. de iustifi. c. 4. But Daniel here so beleeued in God, that he committed himselfe with firme trust and assurance vnto him, & in eius gratiam recubuit, he relyed wholly vpon his grace, Calvin. And so the Apostle describeth faith, Heb. 11. 6. He that commeth vnto God, must beleeue that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seeke him: this faith onely apprehendeth not God in ge∣nerall, that he is, but is ioyned with a particular assurance, that he will reward his faithfull seruants, and bring them vnto life. And so Pintus one of their owne writers, very well resol∣ueth vpon this place, vt mea fert opinio, credere hoc loco est actus fidei, charitate formatae, plenae fiducia in Deum: as mine opinion is, to beleeue in this place is an act of faith, formed (that is expressed) by charitie, full of trust and confidence in God.
