Context
“Huge bodies will be seen, devoid of life, carrying, in fierce haste, a multitude of men to the destruction of their lives.
* ( Of Oxen, which are eaten. ) *
The masters of estates will eat their own labourers.
* ( Of beating Beds to renew them. ) *
Men will be seen so deeply ungrateful that they will turn upon that which has harboured them, for nothing at all; they will so load it with blows that a great part of its inside will come out of its place, and will be turned over and over in its body.
* ( Of Things which are eaten and which first are killed. )”
