He saith moreouer, that if God were the author of dreames, he woulde cause them to be done as wel in the day time, as in the night. But I affirme,1 that it is free for God to vse eyther time as he wil, forasmuch as he is Lord as well of the day as of the night, and as wel of sleeping as of waking. And that he somtimes did in very deede shew visions vnto prophets in their sleepe, & sometimes when they wer waking, as it semed best vnto him, the holy scriptures do restlfy.
