27 Then the nobles, Princes, and Dukes, and the Kings counsellors came together to see these ⟨p. 32⟩men, because the fire had no power over their bodies, for not an hear of their head was burnt, neither were their coats changed, nor any smell of fire came upon them.
27 Then the nobles, Princes, and Dukes, and the Kyngs counsellers came together to see these ⟨p. 32⟩men, because the fire had no power ouer their bodyes, for not an heare of their head was burnt, neither were theyr coates chaunged, nor any smell of fire came vpon them.
Daniel saith that the nobles, Princes, and Dukes, and the Kings counsellors came together, meaning that they came to consult of this great miracle, and when they had consulted of this matter, he saith that they came to behold that manifest sign of the incredible power of God. And he numbereth certain parts, which do more clearly prove that these three were saved by none other means but by the singular benefit of God. For he saith that the fire had no power in their bodies: again, that there was not one hear of their head burnt: thirdly that their garment was not changed: last of all that there was not any smell of fire upon them. For he expresseth more by this word of smell, then if he had simply said that the fire had not pierced them. For it may be that the fire doth not consume the body, and yet may burn it and scorch it, but when no smell of the fire did once come upon them, the miracle is most evident. This is the mind of the Prophet.
