Hexapla in Danielem: that is, A six-fold commentarie vpon the most diuine prophesie of Daniel wherein according to the method propounded in Hexapla vpon Genesis and Exodus, sixe things are obserued in euery chapter. 1. 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.

4. Places of doctrine.

1. The doctrine of Gods prouidence notably is set forth in this booke, that he then most of all taketh care for his Church, when he seemeth most to neglect it: that nothing falleth out by chance, but that the confusion and alteration of states and kingdomes are by the prouidence and disposing of God: for a sparrow cannot fall vpon the ground without Gods will: much more is the fall and ruine of kingdomes disposed of by the Lord, Caluin.

2. In this booke many profitable doctrines are laid forth, as of the Trinitie, c. 7. of the redemption and remission of sinnes by Christ, c. 10. of the resurrection, chap. 12. Pere.

3. In this booke is set forth the continuance and perpetuitie of Christs kingdome, when all terrene and earthly dominions shall cease: regna mundi caduca esse ostendit, he sheweth that the kingdomes of the world are vaine, and the kingdome of Christ onely shall conti∣nue as the stone, which was cutte without hands, broke the image in pieces, as the Prophet saith, the increase of his kingdome, &c. shall haue no ende. Bullinger.
