I am reading Hans Frei's The Eclipse of Biblical Narrative and he points out that Johannes Cocceius saw the death of that great champion of Protestantism Gustavus Adolphus, as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy.
Whether or not such a position is true is not the point. Where did Cocceius say this? Frei references Gottlob Schrenk's Gottesreich und Bund im alteren Protestantismus: vornehmlich bei Johannes Cocceius (Gutersloh: Bertlesmann, 1923), p. 29. My German is okay, but I doubt I will ever find that volume, much less translate it.
