Revelation9:11
11 And they had a king over them which is the angel of the bottomless pit , whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon , but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon .
Solomon, Prov. 30.27. saith, The Locusts have no King over them, yet they go forth by Bands; according to which these Locusts cannot be understood of Insects so called; or, if they have a King, yet it is certain the Devil is not their King, who is here called the Angel of the bottomless Pit.
From [non-Latin text not transcribed] he hath destroy'd.
That is, a Destroyer; intimating that the whole business of this barbarous Enemy, should be to ruine and destroy Nations.
Marginal references: Ver. 1.; That is to say a destroyer.
