! The thousand yean mentioned Jby St. John, were siipposed to be accom- plished, and the end of the world to be at hand. A generaL consternation seized mankind; many relin*^ quished their possessions ; and abandoning their friendt and families, hurried with precipitation to the. Holy Land, where they Utaagined that Christ would quickly appear to judge the world. But the pilgnmsrwere - exposed to outrages of every kind from the infidel Saracens :/and, on their return from Palestine, they related... the dangers which they had encountered, and described with exaggeration the cruelty and vexationn to which they had been subjected.
4. When the minds of men were thus prepared, the aieal of a fanatic monk, who conceived the idea of leading all the forces of Christendom against the infidels, and of driving them out of the Holy Land by violence^ was sufficient to give a beginning to that wild enterprise* Peter the Hermit,]for that was the name of this martial apostle, ran from province to province with a crucifix in his hand, exciting princes and people to this Holy War ; and wherever he came, kindled the same eqthu* siastic ardour for it, with which he himself was animated.
