We read in the ninthof the Revelation,That an Angel opening the bottom- lefre pit,much fmoak afcends,andout of the fmoak came Locufts like Scorpions to deftroy, but they might deltroy no further then their Commiffion reached; and their Commigion extends not to the green things, Vole thefourth; It wascommmded them that they fhould not hurt the graffe of the earth, neither any greene thing, neither any tree. -SDI= that are dried, and withered in their profcffi- on, great profefTors they have been,and :ire nowde- clined and withered5thefe may be hurt in the dayof the Locufts: but whoever remaines green,rnay not be touchr.
