I do want to read those books since, A, I’m a Catholic and B, I’m currently obsessing on Shakespeare and have listened to and watched The Merchant of Venice several times in the last few months. So do you have a link?
Line 223: Shylock: "A Daniel come to judgement! yea, a Daniel."
Line 333: Gratiano: "A second Daniel! A Daniel, Jew!" (sarcastic)

The allusion is clearly to the story of Susanna and the elders, one of the addtiions to the book of Daniel.
