[Page 120] Therefore by the sixt phyall this Euphrataean deluge shall be Chap. 16. dryed up. Plainly according to that which is said, Chap. 11. that next after that overthrow of the Citie which shall come to passe in a great earthquake (which there we [...]itted to the former phyall) the second woe shall be past, that is, the plague of the sixt trumpet. But by what means, that is, to come to passe, and by what authors; whether by the Iews themselves (which happily Ez [...] chiel intimateth, Chap. 38. and 39.) who shall possesse the holy land again; or by some intestine discord fitly to goe before the returne of these; or happily both, but in order and one after another; or by some other cause; we shall labour in vain in guessing, as at a matter wholly yet to come. Whatsoever it be, this let being removed, it is said a way of going to some place is prepared, for these new Christians from the East; and that as it seemeth to make an expedition against the Beast; to the ruine of whom all the phyals serve. For whence otherwise, or wherefore from this drying up should so great a trembling and feare at an instant a [...] [...]aile the worshippers of the Beast, yea even the Devils themselves as it seemeth, that it should minister occasion for so horrible and unheard of a preparation for warre, as is here described; unlesse they with their whole diabolicall band should feare all extremitie by the coming of these new Kings of the East?
