Hastening towards the Northren Countries of the Popish Roman world in very good hope to enter then in the promised Canaan of true reformation as it was noted before but being frustrated of their said conceived hope by the forementioned i Edomites they were constrained to make a very long circuite to approach it and to enter thereinto by the East side of it In which way as they were stung with the fiery Serpents in the Desart of the foresaid Edom in the beginning of their issuing out of their Desart and by them very unkindly used so at the end of it they did finde both Midianites and Moabites with false Prophets who would by their wiles have hindred their entry into their said Canaan but chiefly that fiery Euphraticall Jordan forementioned stopping altogether their entrance thereinto All which most unkind unmercifull hard dealings and most cruell usage of the said poore and sore afflicted Church of God besides the forementioned Idolatries of their detainers and persecutors were the cause of the loosing of the foresaid Easterly Winde by which the sixt Angel was moved to sound with such a long blast or Alarme to excite the five Angels to powre out the forementioned plagues contained in each of their Vials upon the most notable parts of that Antichristian Roman Empire but especially upon its forementioned Euphrates both Universall and Nationall the inflicting of which brought upon them the second terrible woe because thereby k God first gave them bloud to drinke to avenge the bloud of his Saints which they had as it is already said shed in great abundance l Secondly He did also by the means of them scorch them with fire Wherefore they did blaspheme the name of God because they had burned with fire his Saints and most faithfull servants and had tortured them thereby to compell them to blaspheme m Yea the said plagues were so grievous painfull that for very paine they were constrained to gnaw their own proper tongues because they had cut the tongues of his servants thereby to hinder them to make open profession of their most holy faith to confesse his name and sing his most holy prayses in the midst of the flames as else they would have done And as the said persecution instituted by Antichrist began from the time of Wickliffe and hath cōtinued to these late years even so have the foresaid plagues continued since to this very present time But the last of the foresaid five Vials being powred upon a particular Nationall Euphrates as was shewed before hath produced also a more particular effect than the former though being powred out upon a particular member of the same mysticall body the whole cannot chuse but by sympathy to have some feeling of it as is manifest by the stirring of the three forementioned Frogs by the cōplaints of all the Viceroys Merchants Mariners not onely of the said Nationall Sea but also of the Vniversall The cause whereof
