Daniel answered in the presence of the King, and said, The secret which the King hath demanded, cannot the wise men, the astrologians, the magicians, y e southsaiers shew vnto the king:

But as for me, this secret is not reuealed to me, for any wisdome that I haue more then any liuing, but for their sakes that shall make knowen the interpretation to the King, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.

The King answered vnto Daniel and said, Of a trueth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a LORD of Kings, and a reuealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reueale this secret.

O Belteshazzar, master of the Magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy Gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dreame that I haue seene, and the interpretation thereof.
