An other argument was, that beasts also when they sleep do dream, when yet no man will say that God ministereth and disposeth their dreams. That Philosopher is deceived, because he supposeth that if God do send some dreams unto men, he ought therefore to be made author of all dreams, which undoubtedly to far from our meaning. For we refer not unto God himself, all those things which are natural, as certain peculiar effects, by which immediately (as to speak with Schoolmen) men should be instructed of things to come. We have sufficiently before declared of what causes dreams come in creatures.1 And to entreat Logs•like: There is no firm connection from a private or peculiar proposition to an universal. Wherefore, though God do minister some dreams, we may not thereby gather, that all dreams, whether they be in beasts or men, are sent by him. Beasts otherwise have the power to hear, neither want they ears: and yet, because God sendeth not sometimes Prophets unto them to speak and show them things to come, we cannot conclude that God doth not sometimes send holy men unto men, by whom they may be both admonished, and instructed.

Wherefore, though God do minister some dreames, wee may not thereby gather, that all dreames, whether they be in beastes or men, ar sent by hym. Beastes otherwyse haue the power to heare, neither want they eares: and yet, bicause God sendeth not somtimes Prophets vnto them to speake and shewe them thynges to come, we cannot conclude that God doth not sometimes sende holy men vnto men, by whom they maye bee both admonished, and instructed.
