At the sound of the tromp of the sixth Angel S. John heareth a voice from the four corners of the golden Altar,1 that is to say from the midst of the Altar: neither is there any cause, why we should seek a mystery in the fourth number. And he speaketh of that Altar, which is before the eyes of God. That voice commandeth, the Angel trumpeter to loose the four Angels bounden in the great river of Euphrates. Which thing as soon as it was done, an innumerable army of horsemen marched forward, and slayeth and destroyeth the third part of the earth, that is the third part of men. And those horsemen, and the force or power thereof is most diligently described.
