His feet are pillars of brass, which signifieth that he should tread down all his enemies under his feet,1 both Pope and Turk: For he must reign till he have destroyed them all. The Pope along time kept all the Kings of Europe in awe. The Locusts were of great power. The Turks prevailed exceedingly. But what are they all to this mighty and glorious Angel Christ? What is their power to withstand him? What can Abaddon the King of the Locusts do against this mighty King of Zion? What can the Turks most terrible Horses and Horse-men do against this Angel which sitteth upon the white Horse? Alas, alas, they are able to do nothing. They must all be trodden down under his feet of brass.
