And then adds,

  Jam tempus laceris post longa incendia fundis
    Vel pastorales aedificare casas.

And a little after,

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.

1.  The Kings of the Vandals were, A.C. 407 Godegesilus, 407 Gunderic, 426 Geiseric, 477 Hunneric, 484 Gundemund, 496 Thrasamund, 513 Geiseric, 530 Gelimer. Godegesilus led them into Gallia A.C. 406, Gunderic into Spain A.C. 409, Geiseric into Africa A.C. 427; and Gelimer was conquered by Belisarius A.C. 533.  Their kingdom lasted in Gallia, Spain and Africa together 126 years; and in Africa they were very potent.  The
