Thesis 44.
Belshazzar is said to be slain in the night, Dan. 5.30. which §44the Prophet Isaiah has foretold should be in the Morning, Isa. 47.11. but will it follow hence that this Morning is the time of midnight? might it not be after midnight as well? for the Text is silent; and yet I do not think that the word Morning in Isay is meant of midnight nor any part of any night, but by a metaphor the apparent time of the beginning of his misery (the light of the Morning manifesting all things apparently) the Lord also alluding to the manner of humane Judicatures; who were wont to pass the sentence and inflict it in the Morning as the Scripture frequently holds forth.
