Revelation9:16

Verſe 16. Two hundred thouſand thouſand] Not ſo many at any one time, but in ſeverall ages and battles. Howbeit the Turk goes uſually into the field 200000 ſtrong: many times he hath more, as in that famous battle fought by Bajazet againſt Tamer-lane, where he had well-nigh a thouſand thouſand. Of his common ſouldiers, called Aſapi (which for the moſt part are miſerable Chriſtians) he makes no great reckoning or other uſe,Tunk. hiſt. 317. then to blunt the ſwords of his enemies, or to abate their firſt fury: thereby to give the eaſier victory to his Janizaries, and better ſouldiers, which are all horſe for moſt part.
