And the second Angell blew the Trumpet, and as it were a great Mountaine burning with fire was cast into the Sea, and the third part of the Sea became blood, &c.
Upon the blowing of the second Trumpet by the second Angel, here appeareth a great Mountain burning with fire, whereby is meant some great and notable heresies, as that of Arrius, which troubled and wasted the Church for the space of three hundred years, being greatly favoured of sundry Emperors and other great Potentates in the Earth, by means whereof, it continued and overspread so long. Also this may be referred to other great and notable Arch-heresies: as that of Donatus, Macedonius, Eutycheus, Valentinus, and such like: which all are here compared to a mountain for their hugeness and greatness, and to a burning Mountain, because the Church was almost burnt up thereby.
