that_o distress_n which_o be_v then_o befalling_a they_o upon_o the_o entrance_n of_o this_o babylon_n in_o the_o land_n of_o the_o chaldean_n notwithstanding_o all_o say_v he_o yet_o israel_n be_v

own_o mean_n of_o recovery_n yet_o upon_o this_o occasion_n i_o shall_v as_o god_n shall_v help_v i_o from_o these_o word_n represent_v unto_o you_o the_o state_n of_o the_o nation_n wherein_o we_o

babylon_n who_o destruction_n be_v so_o solemn_o prophesy_v of_o in_o this_o and_o the_o forego_n chapter_n and_o i_o must_v observe_v three_o thing_n concern_v it_o first_o that_o babylon_n be_v the_o original_a of_o apostasy_n from_o the_o natural_a worship_n of_o god_n unto_o idolatry_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n there_o be_v great_a iniquity_n before_o the_o flood_n but_o no_o mention_n of_o any_o idolatry_n there_o be_v a_o natural_a worship_n of_o god_n throughout_o the_o world_n that_o be_v not_o corrupt_v with_o idolatry_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o it_o until_o the_o build_n of_o babel_n there_o it_o begin_v the_o tower_n which_o they_o build_v they_o turn_v into_o a_o temple_n of_o belus_n who_o they_o have_v make_v a_o god_n and_o lay_v his_o image_n in_o the_o top_n of_o it_o there_o be_v the_o original_a you_o shall_v see_v immediate_o how_o we_o be_v concern_v there_o be_v the_o original_a of_o apostasy_n from_o natural_a worship_n unto_o idolatry_n second_o their_o idolatry_n the_o idolatry_n that_o there_o begin_v consist_v in_o image-worship_n in_o the_o worship_v of_o graven_n image_n which_o be_v their_o idolatry_n that_o they_o set_v up_o with_o respect_n unto_o man_n depart_v who_o they_o worship_v by_o they_o four_o time_n in_o this_o prophecy_n do_v god_n say_v he_o will_v take_v vengeance_n on_o their_o graven_n image_n and_o from_o the_o 40th_o of_o isaiah_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o 46th_o you_o have_v a_o description_n of_o the_o idolatry_n of_o babylon_n that_o it_o all_o consist_v in_o make_v carve_a idol_n and_o grave_v image_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n especial_o of_o the_o eastern_a nation_n fall_v into_o the_o worship_v of_o the_o sun_n which_o they_o call_v baal_n and_o moloch_n and_o kemosh_fw-mi all_o name_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o moon_n which_o they_o call_v ashtaroth_n and_o the_o queen_n of_o heaven_n but_o the_o idolatry_n of_o babylon_n be_v by_o graven_n image_n and_o idol_n three_o observe_v they_o be_v so_o far_o as_o appear_v upon_o record_n the_o first_o state_n in_o the_o world_n that_o ever_o persecute_v for_o religion_n that_o oppress_v the_o true_a worshipper_n of_o god_n as_o such_o as_o be_v mad_a upon_o their_o idol_n as_o the_o prophet_n say_v they_o be_v they_o be_v inflame_v upon_o they_o they_o be_v the_o first_o that_o oppress_v the_o church_n because_o of_o its_o worship_v of_o god_n and_o destroy_v that_o worship_n among_o they_o hence_o the_o church_n pray_v in_o this_o chapter_n the_o vengeance_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o of_o his_o temple_n be_v upon_o babylon_n not_o only_o the_o vengeance_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o destroy_v of_o his_o people_n but_o the_o vengeance_n of_o his_o temple_n for_o destroy_v of_o his_o worship_n be_v upon_o babylon_n shall_v zion_n say_v other_o have_v afflict_v i_o say_v he_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n but_o this_o nabuchadnezzar_n king_n of_o babylon_n have_v break_v my_o bone_n they_o be_v the_o great_a oppressor_n of_o the_o church_n upon_o these_o three_o account_n which_o be_v that_o i_o will_v observe_v the_o name_n of_o babylon_n and_o all_o that_o be_v speak_v of_o it_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v transfer_v to_o the_o apostate_n church_n of_o rome_n in_o the_o new_a and_o all_o apply_v unto_o it_o in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n and_o that_o upon_o this_o great_a analogy_n which_o i_o shall_v now_o brief_o show_v why_o do_v god_n call_v the_o apostate_n state_n of_o the_o church_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n babylon_n

babylon_n the_o mystery_n for_o these_o three_o reason_n first_o as_o old_a babylon_n be_v the_o rise_n and_o spring_n of_o apostasy_n from_o natural_a worship_n in_o the_o world_n unto_o idolatry_n so_o this_o new_a babylon_n be_v the_o rise_n and_o spring_n of_o apostasy_n from_o evangelical_n worship_n in_o the_o world_n unto_o idolatry_n mark_v the_o analogy_n hence_o she_o be_v call_v the_o mother_n of_o harlot_n that_o be_v she_o that_o have_v bring_v forth_o all_o the_o idolatrous_a church_n and_o worship_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n do_v babylon_n begin_v to_o apostatise_v into_o idolatry_n from_o natural_a worship_n so_o rome_n begin_v to_o apostatise_v into_o idolatry_n from_o spiritual_a evangelical_n worship_n therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n call_v her_o babylon_n second_o the_o peculiar_a idolatry_n of_o babylon_n con●●●●ed_v in_o image-worship_n the_o worship_v of_o man_n depart_v under_o image_n make_v to_o their_o likeness_n and_o the_o peculiar_a idolatry_n of_o rome_n consist_v in_o image-worship_n their_o worship_a saint_n depart_v which_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o their_o idolatry_n and_o therein_o they_o be_v babylon_n also_o three_o and_o last_o as_o babylon_n be_v the_o spring_n of_o all_o persecution_n against_o and_o oppression_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n so_o rome_n have_v be_v the_o spring_n of_o all_o persecution_n and_o oppression_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n since_o the_o apostasy_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n on_o these_o account_n have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o infinite_a wisdom_n transfer_v over_o the_o name_n and_o state_n and_o other_o thing_n speak_v of_o babylon_n from_o the_o old_a unto_o the_o new_a i_o have_v mention_v this_o that_o you_o may_v see_v the_o interest_n of_o england_n in_o this_o text_n of_o scripture_n so_o far_o as_o the_o truth_n of_o religion_n be_v own_v in_o this_o nation_n so_o far_o as_o there_o be_v a_o testimony_n give_v against_o idolatry_n we_o be_v to_o god_n as_o israel_n and_o judah_n though_o the_o land_n be_v fill_v with_o sin_n at_o the_o time_n of_o this_o prophecy_n israel_n and_o judah_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o present_a destruction_n and_o desolation_n from_o the_o old_a babylon_n and_o if_o we_o do_v not_o mock_v god_n in_o all_o we_o do_v we_o be_v under_o apprehension_n that_o england_n and_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o england_n be_v under_o danger_n of_o the_o same_o desolation_n and_o …_o struction_n from_o new_a babylon_n upon_o the_o same_o account_n and_o principle_n if_o we_o do_v not_o mock_v god_n this_o be_v that_o we_o profess_v at_o this_o day_n wherefore_o the_o parallel_n run_v thus_o far_o equal_a such_o as_o be_v babylon_n of_o old_a such_o be_v that_o at_o present_a such_o as_o be_v the_o danger_n of_o israel_n and_o judah_n from_o they_o at_o that_o day_n such_o be_v the_o danger_n of_o england_n from_o the_o new_a at_o this_o present_a this_o be_v speak_v in_o general_n for_o the_o open_n of_o the_o word_n observe_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o that_o there_o be_v in_o they_o a_o reduplication_n of_o the_o name_n or_o title_n of_o god_n he_o be_v in_o this_o verse_n call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n and_o by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n where_o there_o be_v such_o reduplication_n of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n or_o any_o of_o his_o title_n the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v have_v we_o take_v notice_n that_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a importance_n whereof_o he_o speak_v 2._o there_o be_v a_o distribution_n and_o application_n of_o these_o name_n of_o god_n unto_o distinct_a occasion_n suitable_a unto_o they_o 1._o there_o be_v in_o it_o mention_v a_o intimation_n of_o a_o surprisal_n with_o some_o protection_n or_o deliverance_n who_o shall_v it_o be_v do_v by_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n say_v he_o the_o lord_n his_o god_n and_o he_o do_v not_o in_o vain_a add_v immediate_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n that_o title_n of_o god_n he_o who_o have_v the_o host_n above_o and_o the_o host_n below_o in_o his_o sovereign_a disposal_n god_n host_n above_o be_v all_o the_o holy_a angel_n and_o all_o the_o heavenly_a body_n in_o their_o influence_n the_o star_n in_o their_o course_n fight_v against_o sisera_n and_o he_o have_v late_o hang_v forth_o among_o we_o a_o flag_n or_o ensign_n of_o his_o host_n above_o intimate_v that_o he_o be_v arise_v in_o his_o indignation_n as_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n and_o have_v hang_v forth_o a_o ensign_n before_o his_o come_n full_a of_o dread_n and_o terror_n and_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n here_o below_o of_o all_o man_n and_o of_o all_o creature_n dispose_v of_o they_o as_o seem_v good_a unto_o he_o the_o prophet_n add_v this_o name_n of_o god_n because_o of_o the_o unspeakable_a greatness_n of_o the_o thing_n he_o mention_n namely_o that_o israel_n shall_v not_o be_v forsake_v nor_o judah_n while_o the_o land_n be_v so_o fill_v with_o sin_n and_o the_o whole_a interest_n of_o babylon_n so_o come_v upon_o they_o 2._o the_o other_o title_n of_o god_n be_v the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n this_o be_v apply_v peculiar_o unto_o their_o sin_n the_o land_n be_v fill_v with_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n it_o be_v the_o great_a it_o be_v the_o high_a aggravation_n of_o sin_n that_o it_o be_v against_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n who_o be_v a_o god_n of_o pure_a eye_n than_o to_o behold_v iniquity_n so_o have_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n apply_v these_o two_o distinct_a title_n of_o

the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n 3._o the_o three_o thing_n be_v this_o that_o in_o this_o woeful_a state_n there_o be_v yet_o a_o intimation_n make_v of_o a_o covenant_n interest_n of_o judah_n in_o

faith_n than_o i_o no_o man_n do_v more_o despond_v but_o if_o i_o can_v see_v these_o two_o thing_n in_o concurrence_n his_o god_n and_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n that_o be_v sovereign_a grace_n according_a to_o his_o covenant_n and_o sovereign_a power_n according_a to_o his_o providence_n there_o be_v ground_n for_o any_o man_n faith_n to_o build_v upon_o his_o god_n the_o lord_n of_o host_n nothing_o but_o sovereign_a grace_n and_o sovereign_a power_n can_v preserve_v a_o people_n when_o their_o land_n be_v full_a of_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n and_o destruction_n seem_v to_o encompass_v they_o from_o the_o interest_n of_o babylon_n i_o shall_v speak_v yet_o a_o little_a more_o particular_o you_o may_v consider_v in_o the_o word_n 1._o that_o which_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o last_o place_n the_o state_n of_o the_o people_n at_o this_o time_n their_o land_n be_v fill●●_n with_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n 2._o a_o intimation_n of_o
