And the similitude of Locusts was like unto Horses prepared to battle, and on their heads were as it were crowns, like unto gold: and their ⟨p. 259⟩faces were as it had ben the faces of men. And they had here, as the here of women. And their teeth were as the teeth of Lions. And they had habergeons, as it were habergeons of iron. And the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots when many horses run together in battle. And they had tails like unto Scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. And their power was to hurt men five months. And they had a king over them, which is the Angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek Apollyon.

And they had heere, as the heere of wemen. And their teth were as the teth of Liōs. And they had habergions, as it were habergiōs of yrō. And the sounde of their winges was as the sounde of chariotes when many horses rūne together in battell. And they had tailes like vnto Scorpions, and there were stinges in theyr tailes. And theyr power was to hurte mē fiue monethes. And they had a king ouer them, which is the Aungel of the botomlesse pitte, whose name in the Hebrewe tongue is Abadon, but in the Greke Apollion.
We have spoken already of the original & power of the locusts:1 nevertheless leest any man should be impeached with any obscurity, so that he could not know the locusts: & beware (for this is the end of the whole prophecy to understand the mysteries of Antichrist, & beware) now also he describeth the locusts with a wonderful suffiguration, & their fight against Christ, and against the doctrine of godliness of all other most perilous.
