Revelation 16:2
Revelation 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
The earth in this verse, doth metonymically signify the inhabiters of the Popish earth, the earthly state of the Roman papal kingdom; that is, those inhabiters of the earth against whom the third woe is pronounced, \ especially those that rejoiced at the killing of Christ’ s two prophetical witnesses. \ By the
noisome and grievous sore that fell upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image,
we may understand (by some allusion which this plague fore beareth to that upon the Egyptians, Exodus 9:10-11) such a plague as causeth very great pain, and is so noisome and pestilentious, that it maketh those men that are lovers and friends to Babylon, to stand a far off for fear of the torment, Revelation 18:10-17 which are the proper effects of such noisome and grievous sores. Psalms 38:11; Psalms 77:2
