Why are the Jewes called Daniels people? and Jerusalem thy HolyCity?
Answ. They are cal'd Daniels people, because he was their Foster-Father. 1. He fasted and prayed earnestly for their deliverance, as in v. 2, 20, 21. 2. Because he used the utmost of his endeavours to procure a large Commission from
Cyrus for their Return with wealth and safety: In these and such like Respects the Jewes might be called Daniels people: both in v. 24. and also in Chap. 10. 14. and it was in this sence also, that the National Church of the Jewes were cal'd Moses people in Deut. 9. 12. for he was the principal Instrument of their deliverance from the servitude of the Aegyptians, and because he did cherish them as their Foster-father in the Wildernesse, Numb. 11. 12. From whence Mr. Ainsworth observeth, that the like mildnesse and gentlenesse should be in Go∣vernours, and God doth promise to his Church, that Kings should be their Nurs∣ing Fathers, Esay 49. 23. And such like tender love ought the Pastors of Chur∣ches to bear to their Flocks: and saith the Apostle,
we were gentle among you, even as a Nurse cherisheth her children: we exhorted and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a Father doth his children, 1 Thess. 2. 7, 11.
And for thy Holy City.
Or as it is in the Hebrew, For the City of thy Holinesse: that is to say, for the City of thy holy Contemplations in the Types of Holinesse. For it was Daniels custome to pray towards the Holy Temple, Dan. 6. 10. and David towards the
Holy Tabernacle, Psalm 5. 7. and 1 King. 8. 18.
Notes
The Elders of people ought to be as Foster-fathers, both in Church and Common-wealth.
