greatly beloved] Chap. 9. 23. &10. 11. peace be unto thee] He declareth hereby that God would be mercifull to the people of Israel. I was strengthened] Which declareth that when God smiteth down his children, he doth not immediately lift them up at once, (for now the Angel had touched him twice) but by little and little. Though it was Christ that appeared, vers. 4. yet the rest is done by an Angel, who as Gods minister, on this behalfe doth minister strength unto Daniel.
