And the fifth Angel poured out his Vi• upon the Seat of the Beast, vers. 10.

This Vial is one of those seven golden Vials which was given unto the seven Angels, which were full of the wrath of God, and contained the last Plagues, which are to be poured out upon Mystical Babylon, to her utter destruction, as hath been proved, before, and chap. 16. vers. 19. and all them that worship the Beast and his Image, chap. 14.8, 9, 10, 11. These Vials are called the Cup of Gods Indignation, and the Cup of the Wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
