The seventh Angel pours his Vial on the Air, then there is said to come a voice from the Temple, which was the voice of God: the effects whereof were wonderful; for it is said, that there followed in heaven, most fearful thunders, lightnings, and voices, in the earth a great Earth-quake; whereby the earth trembled and shaked, which is said to be so fearful a one, as never was before.
