To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From whence one may collect that, as Arianism, signified by the fiery mountain, in- fected a third part of the Christian sea ; so upon the Arians, who are there exhibited as the guilty part of the sea, the vial is poured. Again, the third trumpet announced a great star, burning like a torch, falling upon the rivers and fountains of waters. In like manner the third vial is poured upon the ri- vers and fountains of waters. The trumpet here describes the desolation carried on by the barbarians thr...ough the guilty heathen Roman empire ; therefore on this same empire is the vial poured. Lastly, at the sounding of the fourth trumpet the sun was smitten ; and the fourth vial was also poured out upon the sun. The allegory, used here in the trumpet, de- notes the schism of the Greeks ; upon them, therefore, as the guilty, the vial is poured; or rather, it is poured on the in- strument of the scourge, to fit it for execution. This con- stant relation observed between the above-mentioned trumpets and vials, holds equally between the fifth trumpet and vial.
