(Of Silk-spinning.)  
Dismal cries will be heard loud, shrieking with anguish, and the  
hoarse and smothered tones of those who will be despoiled, and at  
last left naked and motionless; and this by reason of the mover,  
which makes every thing turn round.  
(Of putting Bread into the Mouth of the Oven and taking it out  
again.)  
In every city, land, castle and house, men shall be seen, who for  
want of food will take it out of the mouths of others, who will not  
be able to resist in any way.  
(Of tilled Land.)  
The Earth will be seen turned up side down and facing the opposite  
hemispheres, uncovering the lurking holes of the fiercest animals.  
(Of Sowing Seed.)  
Then many of the men who will remain alive, will throw the victuals  
they have preserved out of their houses, a free prey to the birds  
and beasts of the earth, without taking any care of them at all.
