But why God would sometimes by dreams manifest unto Kings & Princes things to come, as now he doth, there are two causes: The one is, because he had a regard unto the people and Nations whom they governed. For if the penury which was at hand, had not ben showed unto Pharaoh, Egypt had utterly been destroyed by famine. Secondly, it was the counsel of the Lord, by these expositions of dreams, to manifest unto the world his Prophets and holy men, which before were hidden, which thing the holy scriptures testify happened in Joseph and Daniel. The Ethnic Historiographers also do write very many things of dreams, which Princes sometimes saw. Yea,1 and Tertullian in hys book de Anima, maketh mention of certain of those dreams, as the dream of Astyages of his daughter Mandane, also of Philip of Macedonia, and of Julius Octavius, whom M. Cicero being yet a boy, thought he saw him in his dream, and being awake as soon as he met him, he straightway knew him. And the same man telleth of certain other also of this kind.
