And now he expoundeth the signification of waters, over the which the whore ruleth, to wit the Romish power. ⟨p. 524⟩Waters signify,1 kingdoms dispersed through out the world. Which he expoundeth after his manner, altogether prophetical, as was also noted before, by three vocables. For in naming people, folk, nations and tongues, he comprehendeth as it were innumerable nations, distinct with sundry languages and manners. But where nothing is more movable or unconstant than waters, and when they be ones stirred up more furious and outrageous: the common folk or people are rightly compared to waters, which are also for their unstableness called movable or unconstant, and for their rage both furious and mad.
