And in this kind or prophesying, images or forms are in stead of letters.1 For as they are ordered and disposed, so sundry oracles are showed. Even as in the divers changing of letters, orations and sentences are made divers. Teachers which instruct their scholars, may by their study and industry of teaching fashion manifold images in the minds of the hearers: although they be not able to give the judgement and right understanding. But God ministereth both,2 not in deed always together: for to some sometimes he showeth only the forms, as to Pharaoh, and to his Butler and Baker, & also to the king of Babylon, all which men needed an Interpreter (namely Joseph & Daniel) to expound their dreams. And undoubtedly those, unto whom are showed only the images of things to come, are not truly and plainly counted Prophets, forasmuch as they have but only a certain degree, beginning, and in a manner a step of prophecy: even as Caiaphas also the high Priest is not to be counted a Prophet, when as he spake those things which he knew not.
And in this kinde or prophesieng, images or formes are in steede of letters.1 For as they are ordered and disposed, so sundry oracles are shewed. Euen as in the diuers chaunging of letters, orations and sentences are made diuers. Teachers which instruct their scholers, may by their study and industry of teaching fashion manifold images in the mindes of the hearers: although they be not able to geue the iudgement and right vnderstanding. But God ministreth both,2 not in dede alwaies together: for to some sometimes he sheweth onely the formes, as to Pharao, and to his Butler and Baker, & also to the king of Babilon, al which men needed an Interpretor (namely Ioseph & Daniel) to expound their dreames. And vndoubtedly those, vnto whom are shewed onely the images of thinges to come, are not truely and plainly counted Prophets, forasmuch as they haue but onely a certaine degree, beginning, and in a maner a step of prophecye: euen as Caiphas also the high Priest is not to be counted a Prophet, when as hee spake those thinges which he knew not.
