Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 8:10

10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven , burning as it were a lamp , and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters .

Stars, in their metaphorical Notion, signifie some eminent Persons in the State, or in the Church; accordingly Interpreters are divided in their Senses; some thinking that it is meant of a Political Star, some eminent civil Governour, and apply it to Cesar Augustulus, who, about the year 480, was forced to give over the Empire, by Odoacer; of him Mr. Mede understands this Prophecy. Others understand [illegible: 1 letter]t of some Ecclesiastical Star, who apostatized, and apply it to Pelagius; I do rather incline to those, who apply it to some Ecclesiastical Star; and Pelagius might be pointed at, as probably as any other in these times;

for he was a great Professor, and so burned as a Lamp;

and he did corrupt a great part of the Church.
