43. And lest any one should perhaps think
that, as the Scripture says, “God raised up the Holy Spirit of a
young youth,” the Spirit in him was that of a man, not the Holy
Spirit, let him read farther on, and he will find that Daniel received
the Holy Spirit, and therefore prophesied. Lastly, too, the king
advanced him because he had the grace of the Spirit. For he
speaks thus: “Thou, O Daniel, art able, forasmuch as the
Holy Spirit of God is in thee.” Dan. v. 14. And farther on it is
written: “And Daniel was set over them, because an
excellent Spirit was in him.” Dan. vi. 3. And
the Spirit of Moses also was distributed to those who were to be
judges. Num. xi. 25.
