his sonnes] Seleucus Ceraunus, and Antiochus the great. Of them Appian Alexandreus wrote thus: After Theos, Seleucus the sonne of Theos and Laodice reigneth in Syria, sirnamed Callinicus. After Seleucus, two sonnes of Seleucus (either according to his age) Seleucus and Antiochus. Seleucus being weak and poor, and unable to rule his Army, was poysoned by his friends, and reigned onely two years. Antiochus was sirnamed Megas, or the great; and reigned 37. years. These be the two kings which here be meant: And an Heathen indifferent, even Appian sheweth unto us why the Angel should name them in the plurall number, and soon turn to the singular. Polybius recordeth to the same effect, Book 4. shall be stirred up] Or, shall warre. Against Ptolomeus Euergetes King of Egypt, to get the kingdome of Syria again. one shall certainly come] To wit, Antiochus the great (the sixt horn) with a sudden force, like unto an overflowing stream, shall regain a great part of his kingdome. then shall be return] The year following he shall return with great power, and having discomfited the Army of Ptolomy Philopater the sonne of Euergetes, shall come unto a principall fortresse of his, called Raphia, upon the rontiers of Egypt, and shall take it. Of which town Strabo speaketh thus; Beyond Gaza standeth Raphia, where the field was fought between Ptolomy the fourth, and Antiochus the great. So famous God would have the Angels term here of fortresse to be.
