Tis with some surprise, that I have read, what is related by, Di•• Cassi••s, […] 66. about the Burning of the Mount V•savins in the Time of Ti••s V•spos••, whereof among other things, he Notes — Quod Cla•got TUBARUM […], But Italy may be thoughtful, whether at the founding of the Seventh Trumpet. the whole Territory there▪abouts must not suddenly be turned into an Entire V•savins.
