Revelation 8:11 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

And the name of the star is called Wormwood — The unparalleled bitterness both of Arius himself and of his followers show the exact propriety of his title. And the third part of the waters became wormwood — A very considerable part of Afric was infected with the same bitter doctrine and Spirit. And many men (though not a third part of them) died — By the cruelty of the Arians.
