Daniel 2:13

Dan 2:13 And the decree went forth that the wise [men] should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.

Ver. 13. And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain. ] And the wise men were slain, saith the Vulgate; some of them likely were cut off. The end of worldly wisdom is certain destruction.

And they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain. ] Wicked decrees are wrested to the butchery of the saints; as was that of the six articles here in Henry VIII’s days.
