Which knoweth not the order and unity of the spirit, but striveth to set up an order and uniformity according to the wisdom of the flesh, in all her territories atd [sic] dominions. Her sins, her judgements. With some plain queries further to discover her, and some considerations to help out of her suburbs, that her inward building may lye the more open to the breath and spirit of the Lord, from which it is to receiv [sic] its consumption and overthrow. Also, an exhortation to the powers of the earth. By Isaac Penington, the younger.	Penington, Isaac, 1616-1679.	1659 (1659)	Wing P1153; Thomason E770_2; ESTC R203128	52,975	64

reasoning part which the Lord hath been long battering and had laid very low gathered strength in me and I began to grow wise again and able to judge of the things of God and to hope and wait for some great appearance wherein at length I might be visited and meet with that which I so vehemently desired and stood in such need of Thereby the enemy deeply deceived me pleasing me herewith and keeping me hereby from unity with that which alone was able to give me the sight of him when ever he should appear And in this fleshly wisdome I judged and despised the true life in others as weak and low and not able to bring them to that which I stood in need of and waited for Yea the more I considred and reasoned in my mind and the more I conversed with them hoping thereby to find some clear ground either of owning or turning from them the further off still was I till at length the Lord powerfully touched and raised up the life in me which by all these reasonings and consultations all this while I slew and then by degrees waiting upon that I saw I felt I tasted I handled as the Lord pleased to open to me here that which was shut out from me in my narrowest search and closest reasonings Thus the Jew in me was cast off and the Gentile called but who can read this I am sure the eye of mans religious wisdom cannot Hereby my eyes have been opened and I have seen the fetters whereby I have been held captive from my life all my dayes yea many of the streets and chambers of Babylon hath my eye beheld in the pure life wherein the Witch dwels which inchanteth from the life yea I have heard the tongue of the false Prophet which speaketh so like the true Prophet as no flesh can discern or distinguish between them yea I have seen the Dragon in the Temple worshipped there for God by the strictest sort of Professors And now in tender bowels in the true light of life from the pure movings of the eternal Spirit as the Lord pleaseth to guid and direct do I come forth to visit my poorfellow creatures and captives in Babylon And what I have seen and known I testifie for the relief of others that if it be possible by the mercy good hand of God they may escape that misery wherewith my poor soul hath been overwhelmed and may come out of that filthy abominable City which God is making desolate where the pure life the conquering faith the suffering love the purifying hope the putting off of the body of sin the putting on the living garment is not nor cannot be witnessed but men are only dreaming of these things in Babylon where all the satisfaction they have is from the pleasure of their dream but when they awake they will find leannesse and penury and nakedness upon their souls A Description of Babylon for the sake of the Daughter of Sion which at present dwelleth in the midest thereof Now though the world be deaf and blind even all sorts of worldly professors from the highest to the lowest yet open your ears and hear the joyful sound open your eyes and see the City of desolations and of all the abominations of the earth both of flesh and Spirit and feel in your selves what it is which is to be led out and what is to lead you that your feet may be guided to and set firm upon Mount Sion where the life rules over all her enemies BABYLON is the spiritual fabrick of iniquity the Mystical great City of the great King of dark ess built in imitation of Sion painted just like Sion that it might be taeken for Sion and he worshipped there instead of the true eternall ever-living God and King of Sion This is the seat of the man of sin Where there is a building framed in any heart or in any society of men like Sion there he lodges there he lives there he sits as God there he reigns there he is worshipped there he is exalted above all that can truly be called God in that heart or in that society 1. It is a City This is a proper parable to discover the Mystery of iniquity by in this state it is just like a City in its kind it is a City In a City there are several streets in the streets houses in the houses several rooms to which familyes and persons appertain and to all these there are Laws and Governments Thus it is here there are many streets in this City Babylon many houses in every street many rooms in every house and the houses and rooms have their several familyes and persons appertaining to them and they have their Laws and Governments their knowledge of God and Christ their order their worship their discipline in which they walke and by which they order themselves in their several services places offices and imployments under the King of Babylon 2. It is a spirituall or mysticall City It is not an outward building of earthly materials but an inward building of inward materials As the outward Sion the outward Jerusalem is passed away in it's use and service so the outward Babylon is out of date too Ye need not look so far for it And as God hath built up an inward City a spiritual building so hath the King of darkness likewise He could never have tempted from the City of the living God from the City of the mystery of life but by the City of the mistery of deceit And as God builds his City of hewen stones of squared stones of living stones so also hath the King of darkness his hewings his squarings his preparations his qualifications for his buildings If the light break forth and make it appear too grosse to have the whole Nation a Church or to admit an whole Parish to Ordinances he will gather a Church out of the Nation and select some of his choicer stones out of the Parish yea he may grasp in some of the stones of the true Temple if they come within his reach and circle that is if they look abroad if they step forth and keep not close to the anointing within which is the great and only Ordinance of the Saints preservation from Antichrists power for if they step forth but so much as into a prayer against Antichrist out of this they are caught in his snare and are serving him in that very prayer which they may seem with great earnestness and zeale to put up against him 3. It is a great City an overspreading City a City that over-spreads the earth As Sion was a vast City a City that did overspread the Nations How did the faith of the Gospel over-run the world in the Apostles dayes so this City hath also over-run the world Indeed it hath taken up the whole Territories and Dominions of the other City and hath enlarged it self further and Sion hath been laid in the dust and trodden under foot And

Babylon the Great DESCRIBED The City of Confusion In every part whereof Antichrist Reigns Which knoweth not the order and unity of the spirit but striveth to set up an order and uniformity according to the wisdom of the flesh in all her Territories a●d Dominions Her SINS Her JVDGEMENTS With some plain Queries further to discover her And some considerations to help out of her Suburbs that her inward building may lye the more open to the breath and spirit of the Lord from which it is to receiv its consumption and overthrow Also An Exhortation to the Powers of the Earth By Isaac Penington the younger That which is far of and exceeding deep who can find out I and mine heart compassed to know and to search and to seck out wisdom and the reason and to know the wickedness of folly even of foolishnes and madness And I find more bitter then death the woman whose heart is snares and nets her hands bands He that is good before God shall escape from her but the sinner shall be taken by her Eccles. 7. 24 25 26. He that is born of the pure immortal seed and lives in the annointing escapes the golden cup of fornication and all the painted beds of fornication and is not defiled with women Rev. 14. 4. but remains chast to the Bridegroom London Printed for Lodowick Lloyd and are to sold at his Shop in Co●nhi 〈…〉 next door to the Castle 1659. LO this is the City which is built up of and filled with images and likenesses of the ways and truths of God without the life and power On her outside ther 's the likeness of a Church the likeness of a Ministry the likeness of the Ordinances Duties and ways of holiness On her inside ther 's the likeness of the good knowledge the likeness of repentance and conversion the likeness of faith the likeness of zeal for God the likeness of love to God and his Saints the likeness of the Lambs meekness and innocency the likeness of justification the likeness of sanctification the likeness of mortification the likeness of hope peace joy rest and satisfaction c. but the substance the truth the vertue of all these is wanting to her and she her self is found persecuting that very thing where it is found in truth the image whereof she cries up This This is the woman that hath bewitched the whole earth for these many generations and is still changing her dresses and paints that she might still bewitch people and sit as a Queen reigning over their consciences But blessed be the light which is arisen to discover and the power which is able to overthrow this stately this lofty this mighty City and all that take part with it The Lord God Omnipotent reigneth in Sion and Antichrist with his City Babylon falleth Sing praises sing praises O inhabitant of Sion to him who subjecteth Babylon with all her glory under thy feet For he bringeth down them that dwell on high the lofty City he layeth it low he layeth it low even to the ground he bringeth it even to the dust The foot shall tread it down the feet of the poor the steps of the needy Isa. 26. 5 6. The Preface THere hath been in me a zeal for God from my childhood and a most earnest search into the Scriptures which my soul deeply relished and my heart honoured and loved and still doth for the revelation of the mind and will of God Two things did I earnestly search and beg for The one was for the discovery of the outward way of worship The other for the inward life vertue and power which I looked upon the outward as the proper means to lead me to At the beginning of the troubles in these Nations there was a lively stirring in me and an hope that God was bringing forth somewhat I likewise felt the same stirring in many others at which my heart was rejoyced and with which my soul was refreshed but I found it soon begin to flag and wither which forced me to retire and to separate from that where I found the life and power dying and decaying In my separation the Lord was with me my soul remembreth it right wel and he had regard to the simplicity honesty and integrity of my heart which he himself had kindled in me And though I felt too soon into a way of Church-fellowship and Ordinances yet he had regard to me and pittyed me and refreshed my life even there But at length the form overgrew vs and the sweet and precious life in us began to dye Then the Lord found out another way to refresh us namely by a sensible relating of our conditions and of his dealings with us and workings in us which was very sweet and precious at first but the enemy crept in there also Out of this state I never made any change but here the hand of the Lord fel upon me striking at my very root breaking all my life in sunder and trampling my crown in the dust Then I became a man of sorrows being stripped of all my life faith hope joy comfort in one day not knowing which way to looke nor what to desire Sometimes there were breathings stiring in me but they were presently judged Sometimes a little glance of refreshment from a Scripture presented to me but suddenly taken away and my death and darknesse increased thereby Then should I wish O that I might appear before his throne for surely my conscience is clear in his sight and I have not wickedly departed from my God but was broken in pieces by his hand even while my soul was earnestly seeking after him O how my soul did mourn to see how I was fit to be made a prey to every ravening spirit and many did seek to devour me but the hand of the Lord was with me preserving me though I knew it not And though I was wholly broken and desolate of all that I had called or could call knowledg insomuch as that I could not call any thing either good or evil yet the Lord by a secret instinct preserved me exceedingly out of that which was evil and kept my heart secretly panting after the fountain wel-spring of good Yea when I was at length through deep despair of ever meeting with God any more in this life captivated by the world and betrayed by the love of it which at last rose up in me and gained upon me by perswading me that my present estate and condition did require the free use of it and the enjoyment of all it could afford yet the Lord followed me and often was I visited with secret loathings of the world and turnings from it and pantings after the spring of my life but these were dreaded by me and suddenly quenched by the evil part for fear of that misery and unutterable anguish which I had felt hereby the remembrance whereof was fresh in me In this my courting of the world and estrangement from the life the

though many Witnesses Prophets and Martyrs have mourned over her yet none have been able to raise up the Tabernacle of David which hath fallen down nor to recover Sion to this day but Babylon hath had the power over her Look with the true eye and behold how all Nations Kindreds Tongues and Languages have been drunk with some or other of the mixtures of this false womans cup some of them over and over and over again and have been Inhabitants of this City crying her up though not all in her grosse habit but some in her more refined shapes and transformings for the true Church for Sion whereas alas she hath only Sions dresse Sions shape Sions outward garment which is the likeness wherein she lies in wait to deceive but not Sions spirit 4. It is a City of iniquity of hidden iniquity That which is hid in this City it is not the life it is not the righteousness the holiness of the Saints but iniquity sin transgression of the life Look into any of the streets of Babylon into any of the houses any of the rooms any of the chambers of darkness there 's sin there there 's unrighteousnes there there 's not one cleansed heart to be found there not one pure eye to behold the God of life is to be found there but in every heart sin in a mistery iniquity in a mistery unrighteousness in a mistery They seem to be for God and Christ and to be cleansed by them but uncleaness lodges in them and sin rules in them against God and against his Christ in a mistery which their eye cannot see and so must needs mistake their state Yet this is the true state of Babylon in all the parcels of it it is the unclean City where purity of heart and life cannot be known but though it be washed and transformed never so often outwardly yet still it remains inwardly polluted that which defileth keeping possession and dominion there in a mistery The living water the living blood runs not in any of the streets of this City so that there can be no true cleansing there Nay such strangers are the choicest Inhabitants of Babylon to the Fountain of life in Sion to the river that cleanseth and healeth that they cannot so much as beleeve that there is a possibility of cleansing and perfect healing and making sound and whole here while on earth There is great talk of these things of the water the blood the cleansing in all the Regions of Babylon which hath heard of the fame and forms to it self a likeness but the thing it self is not to be found there and so the vertue which comes from the thing it self alone cannot be felt there And here in this there is a great difference between the vessels of Sion and the vessels of Babylon The vessels of Sion they are weak earthen foolish contemptible to the eye of mans wisdome which cannot look for any great matter of excellency there but the treasure the liquor of life in them is precious The vessels of Babylon make a great shew appear very holy very heavenly very zealous for God and Christ and for the setting up of his Church and Ordinances all over the world Thus they appear without but they are Sepulchers there 's rottenness within under all this there lodgeth an unclean an unsanctified heart an heart unsubdued to the spirit and power of the Gospel while it makes such a great shew of subjection and obedience to the letter 5. It is the City of the King of darknesse of the great King of darkness of the Prince of the power of the ayre who rules universally in the darknesse in the mistery of iniquiry throughout even in every heart Where ever is sin there is Satans throne and there he hath his Laws his Government his power in every heart of his dominion And where there is the least subjection to him he is yet a Prince his building is not as yet there wholly thrown down he is not there as yet dispossessed and cast out As long as there is any thing left wherein he may dwell he knows his owne and keeps his hold of it It is his right and he will not loose it All sin all darkness is properly his it is his seat and he hath the Government there Man is the Land where these two Kings fight and what ever is good and holy belongs to the one King and what ever is evill and unclean belongs to the other and there is no communion or peace between them but each keep their own and gather of their own unto themselves And where the fight is once begun between these there is no quietness in that Land till one of these be dispossessed but then there is either the peace of Babylon most commonly under a form of holinesse or the peace of Sion in the spirit life and power 6. This City was built and is daily built in imitation of Sion painted just like Sion The intent of it's building was to eat out Sion to suppresse Sion to withdraw from the truth by a false Image and to keep her Inhabitants in peace and satisfaction under a beliefe and hope that it is the true Sion and therefore it must needs be made like Sion else it could no way suite these ends Every street must be like the streets of Sion every house like the houses of Sion every Tribe and family like the Tribes and familyes of Sion every person like the persons in Sion all the Laws Ordinances c. like the Laws and Ordinances of Sion the worship like the worship in Sion the faith like the faith of Sion the painted Christ like the Christ of Sion all that go for truths like the truths of Sion they would not deceive else City Babylon would be soon seen through else and become quickly desolate and forsaken did she not lay her paint very thick and with great art and skil Now here 's the wisdome here 's the true eye tried to see through al the paints of this city in al the shapes and forms of it to turn from every street every house every chamber every image and false appearance of truth every false appearance of ordinances and wayes of worship every likenes of things which this spirit forms from the letter every duty that it thus cals for every promise of Scripture which it endeavours to apply to that to which it belongs not that it might lull the soule asleep and cosen and deceive it of the thing promised here I say is the true eye tried to turn from all this and to waite for the raising and redeeming of the true seed of Sion and for the springing up of the true life and power in it and from it For as long as this spirit can deceive you with any likenes ye shal never know the truth nor come to the worship of the true living God which alone is in the spirit and in the truth 7. The end of al this

of Satans building up this city this great city thus accurately in the power of deceit and in the very likenes of Sion was and is that it might be taken for Sion and he worshipped there as God and that without jealousie or suspition And he hath attained his end his city hath deceived and doth deceive it passeth currant for Sion among al the inhabitants of Babylon almost every sort of people cry it up for Sion in one appearance or other though al do not cry up the same appearance but their own image way and worship every one extolls their own image of the truth for the truth their own way of worship for the way their own church and family for the church and family of God And worshipping here they worship him and not the Lord for the Lord cannot be worshipped in any part of Babylon but the King of Babylon is worshipped in Babylon and the King of Sion alone in Sion Ah how deeply do men deceive their souls they think they beleeve in God they think they pray to God and hope to be owned at length by God and yet are so far from coming out of Mystery Babylon that it was never yet so much as discovered to them but they have either walked in the way of religion and worship they were brought up in in the apostacy or perhaps have removed out of one or two of the broad streets of it and so thereby think they have left Babylon when as the same spirit hath sit down in another street of the same city building up another house by the direction of the King thereof and there worshipping the same spirit as they did before but their souls never knew the fire in Sion and the furnace in Jerusalem by which the very inwards of their spirits must be cleansed before the pure ey of life be opened which can see Sion Now because ye are more able to receive things from Scripture-expressions then from the nature of the thing it self spoken as it is felt in the heart concerning which much more might be said were ye able to bear it consider a few Scriptures Babylon is called a great city Rev. 16. 19. and a great and mighty city chap. 18. 10. O the power of deceit in that city to bewitch from the life O the multitude of lying wonders that are there shewn in the heart to make a man beleeve that he is in the life to perswade men that the King thereof is the King of Sion and that the laws and ordinances of worship there are the laws and ordinances oi Sion that the prayer there is the prayer of the true child that the beleeving there is the true faith the love there the true love the hope there the true hope c. Some parts of Babylon some likenesses of truth there are so taking that none but the elect by the opening of the eternal eye can espy the deceit And it is a spiritual city a mystical city a city built by the working of the mystery of iniquity 2 Thes. 2. 7. whereupon she is called Mystery Rev. 17. 5. It is not a city of plain wickedness but a city of sin hid of sin keeping its life under a covering under a form of godlines of sin reigning in the heart under zeal under devotion under praying beleeving worshipping hoping waiting c. Where sin lies hid within under these there 's Babylon there 's the mystery of witchcraft there 's the painted throne of Satan there 's spiritual Egypt and Sodom where the Lord of life is daily crucified This is the city the mystical city the spiritual city Rev. 11. 8. And here is building up and throwing down continually She builds the spirit of the Lord confounds then down goes her building then up with another then down again This is her course without end when the Spirit of the Lord disturbs her for otherwise she can settle in any form of knowledg or worship though in her ordinary course she hath also many changes and turnings One while this or that being a truth another while not One while this or that being the sence or meaning of such a Scripture another while not Babylon is hardly ever without this kind of building up and throwing down And this city is a great city a city spread over all the earth she made all nations drink of the wine of the cup of her fornication Rev. 14. 8. The woman which is this city Rev. 17. 18. sate upon peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues Rev. 17. 15. She sate upon them as Queen as Princess guiding them in their knowledg and worship of the King of Babylon And those that once hated her and made war with her and burnt her flesh with fire she cosoned them with a new paint got them into her new bed of fornication and made them worship the King of Babylon again Rev. 17. 12 13. v. 16 17. and there they lay committing whoredom with her til the time of her last burning and utter desolation but then they forsook her for fear of her torment when they saw the smoke of her burning Rev. 18. 9 10. In the Temples of this city for in al the streets thereof yea in every house there are Temples Antichrist sits as God and is worshipped 2 Thess. 2. 4. He as God sitteth in the temple of God shewing himself that he is God He hath clothed himself like God he appears like God like the holy pure Spirit of life and power he appears in the temple of God he sits there he rules there he gives forth laws and ordinances of worship and devotion Yea if any one wil question his godhead or his right to do thus he wil prove it he wil make it manifest in the very temple of God that he is God He as God sitteth in the temple of God shewing himself that he is God He hath exalted himself into the throne above al that is called God he hath got into the temple he sitteth there as God and there he maketh it manifest to al his worshippers that he is the God in so much as among al the inhabitants of Babylon he is acknowledged and worshipped and the true Spirit of life is hid from their eyes and denied and crucified He shews himself that he is God he gives demonstrations of his godhead which that eye which is out of the life cannot but acknowledg and take to be true There is none can see and acknowledg the true God the true Christ but those that have the true ey the true anointing no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the holy Spirit 1 Cor. 12. 3. and yet how many can speak great words of God and of Christ who know not what belongs to the anointing Alas alas Al nations and sorts of professors out of the life are co●oned with the devils demonstrations with Antichrists demonstrations with the whores demonstrations with the false Prophets demonstrations which are undeniable to

of Jesus Christ even by this false woman which rides on the beast by whose power and strength she overcomes the Saints She sets up a way of doctrine a way of worship in a Nation and gets laws made for the defence of it and against them that will not submit to it and here she is too hard for the Saints by this means she overcomes the Martyrs and Witnesses and keeps the truth down and keeps up her way of deceit which without this prop would soon fall This whorish spirit scents the Spirit of the Lord she knows it will soon be her death if she cannot make it appear odious and suppresse it Therefore she hunts this spirit she hunts the life and power of what she her self professes especially if it appear vigorous and strong in any she seeks advantages against the servants of the living God representing them to the earthly powers as persons of dangerous principles and bad practises inventing all manner of what can be called evil against them and spreading it among the people that the truth may start up no where in the earth but every where be knocked down by the violence of the multitude or by the sword of the offended Magistrate Now what is the matter of all this great noise and fury Why this A Lamb is risen up in the innocency the pure harmless spirit is appearing in the earth the true life which discovers the hypocrisie and dead forms and wayes of the whorish spirit is breaking forth Therefore she makes a great out cry awakpeople awak the church is in danger arise Magistrates Magistracy and Ministry wil down if this Lamb-like spirit be suffered Nay nay These shall stand but Babylon shall fall and her mistery of iniquity be discovered and her deceiveablenesse of unrighteousnesse made manifest and the true life and Spirit shall arise and take possession of the hearts of people and make them a clean and fit habitation for God and people that are subject hereto shall feel it and enjoy it though the Merchants of Babylon say men shall never be made cleane while they live but must stil have a body of sin and death hanging about them But how shall they put on Christ who have not put off the body of sin Shall those who are made Kings and Priests to God here on earth minister in their filthy garments These are some of the sins of Babylon that painted harlot which is subtle in heart and lyes in wait to deceive in the absence of the true Church whose cloathing and resemblance she takes up and appears in And when she hath done all this When like Aegypt she hath kept the seed in bondage in all her Territories and Dominions in every Church she hath set up and by all her Ministries and Ordinances When like Sodom she hath filled the whole world with filthinesse uncleanesse and all manner of spiritual abominations When like old Jerusalem the bond-woman she and her children have scoffed at the Spirit in every appearance all the time of her reigne and have trampled upon and domineered over them who have but spoken of the coming of the just one in his people sporting her self in her own deceivings Yet after all this She wipes her mouth and saith she hath done no harm She hath been for the Gospel and Church and Ministry and Ordinances and the saith once delivered to the Saints and only against deceivers seducers blasphemers and hereticks But the Spirit of the Lord cannot be thus deceived nor shall the Nations be allwayes thus deceived and suffer her to sit as a Queen upon their consciences but she shall see sorrow and they shall taste joy at the sound of the everlasting Gospel when once again it cometh to their ears Rev 14. 6. Chap 19. 6 7. The judgement of Babylon BAbylon the great this great City of abominations which hath reigned over the whole earth which hath bewitched all sorts of professors with the golden cup of her fornications which hath subtilly led from the life and held all sorts captive in the witchery of her deceit and hath triumphed over the holy seed making Sion their mother desolate who sat in the dust and was trampled upon by her This great City this glorious City this rich City this mighty powerful City this Queen of the earth which knows not what belongs to Sions misery sorrow poverty and desolation with Antichrist her King and husband who hath cloathed himself with the garments of light and appeared in the likenesse of the King of Sion and hath long been so acknowledged and worshipped is to be judged by the Spirit of life which ariseth up out of the dust of Sion And though Babylon the great whore who in all her transformings hath still remained an enemy to the life hath great power and great wisdom and can shift very subtilly to save her self by both yet strong is the Lord God who judgeth her and he also is wise and she shall not escape his hand but he will pursue her with his voices with his thunderings with his hail-stones with his earth-quakes with his woes with his plagues with his cups of indignation till he hath made her manifest till he hath broken her in peeces till he hath crumbled and laid her in the dust till he hath brought her down to the very pit where the feet of Sion shall trample upon her for ever Sing sing O inhabitant of Sion dost thou not behold the Crown of pride going down apace The decree is sealed against her she cannot escape yea she is fallen she is fallen she is already taken in the snare the eye of my life seeth it and rejoyceth over her in the living power The plagues of God Allmighty from the fiercenesse of his indignation are visiting her whole Territories and passing over all her Land Nothing can help her to avoid his stroak no paint will serve no cover will hide no profession no practise no duties no ordinances no Church no Ministry can avail to conceal her but that spirit is pursued by the Spirit of the Lord and found out every where and plagues are prepared and powring out upon her Nay though she leave all her forms and pretend to wait and seek for the Lord yet she is found out there also Now what is her judgement Destruction and utter desolation from the hand of the Lord to be an hissing and reproach throughout all generations to be brought down by powrings forth of the wrath and vengeance of the Allmighty into the pit and there to drink the fulnesse of his wrath for ever Sion shal be exalted Sion shall drink the cup of life the cup of blessing the cup of love the cup of salvation for ever but Babylon the cup of fury the cup of indignation for ever and ever Sion shall sing but Babylon shall howl and all that saw any beauty or took any pleasure in her shall mourn over her Alas alas for her she who hath so many ages gone for the
