Bible. Daniel -- Prophecies; Bible. Revelation -- Prophecies
And _Orosius_ in the end of his history, which was finished A.C. 417,
represents now a general pacification of the barbarous nations by the words
_comprimere_, _coangustare_, _addicere gentes immanissimas_; terming them
_imperio addictas_, because they had obtained seats in the Empire by league
and compact; and _coangustatas_, because they did no longer invade all
regions at pleasure, but by the same compact remained quiet in the seats
then granted them. And these are the kingdoms, of which the feet of the
Image were henceforward composed, and which are represented by iron and
clay intermixed, which did not stick one to another, and were of different
strength.

CHAP. VI.
_Of the ten Kingdoms represented by the ten horns of the fourth Beast._
Now by the wars above described the _Western_ Empire of the _Romans_, about
the time that _Rome_ was besieged and taken by the _Goths_, became broken
into the following ten kingdoms.
1. The kingdom of the _Vandals_ and _Alans_ in _Spain_ and _Africa_.
2. The kingdom of the _Suevians_ in _Spain_.
3. The kingdom of the _Visigoths_.
4. The kingdom of the _Alans_ in _Gallia_.
5. The kingdom of the _Burgundians_.
6. The kingdom of the _Franks_.
7. The kingdom of the _Britains_.
8. The kingdom of the _Hunns_.
9. The kingdom of the _Lombards_.
10. The kingdom of _Ravenna_.
Seven of these kingdoms are thus mentioned by _Sigonius_. 1_Honorio
regnante_, _in Pannoniam_ 2_Hunni_, _in Hispaniam_ 3_Vandali_, 4_Alani_,
5_Suevi_ & 6_Gothi_, _in Galliam_ 4_Alani_ 7_Burgundiones_ & 6_Gothi_,
_certis sedibus permissis, accepti_. Add the _Franks_, _Britains_, and
_Lombards_, and you have the ten: for these arose about the same time with
the seven. But let us view them severally.
