John Trapp on Revelation 16:14

Verſe 14. The spirits of devils] Or breathing devils.

Working miracles] Lying wonders, 2 Theſſ 2.9.

Ʋnto the Kings of the earth] The Popes Nuncio's, Legats a latere, and other emiſſaries ſtir up the ſpirits of Princes to embroil the world with wars, for the upholding of his tottering greatneſſe: but all in vain. The greateſt impoſtors have ever been the greateſt Courtiers. The Arrians in their age, and of them the Jeſuites learned it.

And of the whole world] Papiſts ſhall call in the help of forraign Princes out of Aſia, Africa, America, to ſuppreſſe the heretikes, as they call them. But with evil ſucceſſe: for they ſhall aſſociate themſelves only to be broken in pieces, Iſa. 89. Exorientur, ſed exurentur, Rev. 9 18. The mountain of the Lord ſhall be lifted up above all mountains. Theſe auxiliaries ſhall ſpeed no better then thoſe ſubſidiary Syrians, 2 Sam. 10.18, 19.
