And let us observe this chiefly, that power is given them of God to kill, and that over the fourth part of the Earth. For ⟨p. 192⟩we learn, that God alone is he that quickeneth, and slayeth, and that he worketh the same most justly by his instruments, finally that all his things are numbered and done in order. Whereupon he poureth out his fury upon the third part of the world. For he knoweth, whom he should punish, and whom he should nourish tenderly.

And verily with in the five hundred last years, Historiographers tell of many such like things, and we have seen some.
