⥃The Fifth Trumpet
[1] And the fifth2 angel sounded, and I saw a star3 fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him4 was given the key of the bottomless5 pit. [2] And he opened the bottomless pit; and there6 arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun7 and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. [3] And there came out of the smoke locusts8 upon the earth: and unto them was9 given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. [4] And it was commanded them that they10 should not hurt11 the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but12 only those men which13 have not the seal of God in their foreheads. [5] And to them it was14 given that they should not15 kill them, but that they should be16 tormented five17 months: and their18 torment [was] as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. [6] And in those days shall men19 seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. [7] And the shapes20 of the locusts [were] like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold, and their faces21 [were] as the faces of men. [8] And they had hair22 as the hair of women, and their23 teeth were as [the teeth] of lions. [9] And they had24 breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the25 sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. [10] And they had tails26 like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power [was] to hurt men five months. [11] And they had27 a king over them, [which is] the angel28 of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon29, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon. [12] One woe30 is past; [and], behold, there come two31 woes more hereafter.
⥃The Sixth Trumpet
[13] And the sixth32 angel sounded, and I heard a voice33 from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, [14] Saying to the34 sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose35 the four angels which are bound in the great36 river Euphrates. [15] And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for37 an hour38, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to39 slay the third part of men. [16] And the number40 of the army of the horsemen41 [were] two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard42 the number of them. [17] And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having43 breastplates of fire, and of jacinth44, and brimstone45: and the heads of the horses [were] as the46 heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. [18] By these three was the third47 part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. [19] For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails48: for their tails [were] like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. [20] And the49 rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet50 repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship51 devils, and idols52 of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: [21] Neither repented they of their murders53, nor of their sorceries54, nor of their fornication55, nor of their thefts.

This appears to point out the scarlet, blue and yellow colours, for which the Turks have always been remarkable. The "four angels bound in the Euphrates" denote their four sultanies bordering on that river, where they were confined till after the period of the Crusades. The time for which they were prepared, "an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year," computing a year for each day, amounts to 391 years, 15 days; and from their first conquest over the Christians, ad 1281, to the taking of Cameniec from the Poles, ad 1672, which was the last conquest by which their dominion was extended, is exactly that period.
