Teachers which instruct scholars, may by their pains and diligence in teaching, print sundry kinds of images in the minds of their hearers; 1although it be not in their power to give them judgement, and the very right understanding of things. But God giveth both, yet not always indeed at once. For into some, he otherwhile instilleth only forms of things, as he did unto Pharaoh, unto his butler, and to his baker, and likewise to the king of Babylon; all which had need of an interpreter to expound their dreams; as Joseph and Daniel. And verily, those to whom are showed only the signs of things to come, are not in very deed accounted prophets; forsomuch as they have only a certain degree and entrance, and as it were a step unto prophesying: even as Caiaphas the high priest is not to be accounted for a prophet, seeing he understood not what he spake.
