19. Quest. That this kingdome of the North is the same which Ezekiel calleth Gog and Magog.

That Ezekiel, c. 38. and Daniel here agree in their description of the same kingdome, may appeare by these reasons. 1. because the kingdome of Gog is also there called the kingdome of the North, Ezek. 38. 15. Come from thy place out of the North parts, thou, and much people with thee: and here also he is called the king of the North. 2. The nations which doe ac∣companie Gog, as Magog, Meshech, Gomer, Togarmah, Pharas, Put, the ••••ebrews themselues vnderstād to be the nations inhabiting, Cappadocia, Galatia, Iberia, Armenia: all which were vnder the command and obedience of the king of the North. 3. The building of cities tho∣roughout those countries, and the calling of them by the names of the Seleucians, and their kinted, are euident arguments of the foueraigntie which they had ouer those nations: so that

we neede seeke no further for that great Gog, whome Ezekiel speaketh of. 4. And further, as Ezekiel prophesieth, c. 38. 23. that after the ouerthrow of Gog, the Lord would be mag∣nified and sanctified among many nations, which was performed by the comming of the Messias: so it came to passe: for not long after the destruction of this kingdom of the North, and the ende of that familie of the Seleucians, Christ came into the world. And this is the common opinion of the Hebrewes, as Ab. Ezra, and Kimhi testifie, that after the ouerthrow of Gog, Messiah should ••aigne. 5. Wherefore seeing this Prophesie is fulfilled alreadie, they are deceiued, which deferre the fulfilling of Ezekiels prophesie vntill the ende of the world, wherein they giue great aduantage vnto the Iewes, who thinke that their Messiah, when he commeth, shall vanquish the power of Gog and Magog.
