Unto which was often added an apparition and speaking to of an Angel or Christ himself, as of the Angel of his covenant. 2.

By dreams whereby such like things propounded to the minds of them being a sleep. 4. Sometime also by a certain special familiarity as it were mouth to mouth, without parable, Numb. 12. 6, 7, 8.
