Another Angel, that is, the third Angel which was in the Sanctuary, doth approve that which the ⟨p. 97⟩other two had confessed; for their office was over the Waters: noting, that the Angels of God have their particular places of government, wherein they execute their functions enjoined them of God. And lest the wicked should seem to think that God was too sharp and severe in judgement against them, therefore not only the Angels of the Waters, that is, of the fresh and salt waters, do acknowledge, that the sins of those wicked men had deserved this and more; and therefore the judgement was just, insomuch as that they might see their very sins in the same, as it were in capital letters: but even also that other Angel, out of the Sanctuary, doth affirm, that which these two had said, and acknowledgeth Gods righteous judgement herein.
Another Angell, that is, the third Angell which was in the Sanctuary, doth approue that which the ⟨p. 97⟩other two had confessed; for their office was ouer the Waters: noting, that the Angels of God haue their particular places of gouernment, wherein they execute their functions enioyned them of God. And lest the wicked should seeme to thinke that God was too sharpe and seuere in iudgement against them, therefore not onely the Angels of the Waters, that is, of the fresh and salt waters, doe acknowledge, that the sinnes of those wicked men had deserued this and more; and therefore the iudgement was iust, insomuch as that they might see their very sinnes in the same, as it were in capitall letters: but euen also that other Angell, out of the Sanctuary, doth affirme, that which these two had said, and acknowledgeth Gods righteous iudgement herein.
The fourth Angel casts his Vial on the Sun; noting, that the judgement was not only on the earth, but in the heaven, by the distemperature thereof, through the intemperate weather, as namely, the extreme heat which should proceed from it, which should scorch the earth, and the men that were in it, whereon should come dearth, famine, &c.
