some observations on the then present state of the great nations of Europe, he adds, " Yet this apparent security should not tempt us to forget, that new enemies, and unknown dangers, may possibly arise from some obscure people, scarcely visible in the map of the world. The Arabs, or Saracens, who spread their conquests from India to Spain, had languished in poverty and contempt, till Mahomet breathed into their savage bodies the soul of enthusiasm ;"* and, it may be added, accomplished the purposes of God in becoming the first woe. But enough has been hinted on this part of the subject. It is sufficient for us to know that God will not want instruments to perform His own work; and that those instruments shall answer to the symbol which he has said they shall-viz., that of a great hail storm!

Thus will the seventh angel sound! and its most dire effects will he found recorded in the three last verses of the 14th chapter; in the contents of the seventh vials; and in the 18th and 19th chapters of Revelation; which include unspared vengeance alike upon the conquered and the conquerors-all being alike destitute of the seal of the living God upon their forehead!

"And there were great voices in heaven, saying, THE KINGDOM OF THIS WORLD IS BECOME THE KINGDOM OF OUR LORD, AND OF HIS CHRIST; AND HE SHALL REIGN FOR EVER AND EVER!"
