Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power; so you may see in the 11th chap. of Daniel. The angel, after foretelling of the Persian empire, then proceeds to foretell of Alexander, ver. 3. "And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will."

Two of these four captains, whose kingdoms we•e next to Judea, the one had Egypt and the neighbouring countries on the south of Judea, and the other had Syria and the neighbouring countries north of Judea▪ and these two are those that are called the kings of the north and of the south in the 11th chapter of Daniel.
