But, may some man say, when the Leaders and commanders of the Popish armies shall be taken captive and set at their ransoms, what shall become of the inferior Captains and soldiers? The holy Ghost answereth, that the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sitteth upon the horse: That is, they were put to the sword, chapter 19. v. 21. and all the fowls were filled full with their flesh. And for this cause S. John ⟨p. 239⟩saith, that he saw an Angel stand in the Sun, chapter 19. v. 17. who cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that did fly by the middest of heaven, Come and gather your selves together unto the supper of the great God.
