The second Angel shedeth his vial on the Sea:1 and therefore the blood of living things, became all together such as is in dead men, to wit corrupt, and turned into matter. Whereupon all that lived in the sea died. The Sea is evermore stirring, and variable: full rightly therefore by this the world is signified, or unconstant men in the world: these for their sins, are infected with the Pestilence, and dye in great plenty. In the words is the figure Synecdoche, where every living soul is said to dye. This second plague answereth to the fifth of Egypt. Under this plague we comprise all kind of Pestilences and plagues. Hezekiah also was taken with the plague: as many Godly men also die of the Pestilence, but by the singular counsel of God.
