Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 8:9

9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed .

Phrases, all signifying the miserable Catastrophe that should follow the Destruction of this City by the Slaughter of Men, the Ruine of Houses and Towns in Italy, &c. History (as Mr. Mede sheweth) excellently agreeth with this. In the year 410, Rome was taken by Alaricus; this was followed with great Devastations both in France and Spain. Honorius, to recover the Empire, was glad to give the Goths a Seat and Government in France, and the Bu[illegible: 1 letter]gundians and Vandals a Place near unto the River Rhoan; and 415, to the Vandals a Place in Spain; and 455, Rome was again taken by Gensericus the Vandal, who divided the whole Empire into Ten Kingdoms; That of the Brittains, ruled by Vortimer. 2. The Saxons, ruled by Hengist. 3. The Franks, ruled by Childerick. 4. The Burgundians, ruled by Gundericus. 5. The Wisogoths, ruled by Theodoricus II. 6. The Alans and Suevi, ruled by Riciarius. 7. The Vandals, ruled by Gensericus. 8. The Germans, ruled by Sumanus. 9. The Ostrogoths, ruled by Theodemirus. 10. The Grecians, ruled by Marcianus. This is the Sum of what Mr. Mede saith, and to this Tract of Time betwixt 410, and 455, the second Trumpet seemeth to relate.
