punishment_n which_o be_v then_o and_o yet_o to_o come_v be_v express_v by_o the_o angel_n proclamation_n in_o the_o time_n already_o past_a the_o second_o point_n concern_v the_o duplication_n of_o her_o punishment_n it_o be_v fall_v and_o again_o it_o be_v fall_v as_o our_o bless_a saviour_n send_v forth_o his_o disciple_n two_o and_o two_o luc._n 10.1_o so_o he_o set_v forth_o the_o notice_n of_o babylon_n ruin_n by_o a_o double_a voice_n and_o as_o the_o law_n of_o the_o decalogue_n be_v write_v twice_o by_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n so_o the_o fall_n of_o babylon_n be_v proclaim_v

and_o so_o proceed_v to_o the_o main_a substance_n of_o my_o text._n the_o first_o reason_n be_v that_o which_o s._n ambrose_n upon_o the_o revelation_n or_o the_o author_n of_o that_o commentary_n which_o be_v grace_v with_o his_o name_n do_v assign_v in_o this_o manner_n babylon_n be_v say_v twice_o to_o fall_v because_o a_o great_a multitude_n fall_v from_o her_o communion_n and_o entertain_v the_o christian_a faith_n and_o because_o she_o shall_v be_v punish_v in_o the_o last_o day_n with_o eternal_a

death_n so_o he_o resolve_v that_o babylon_n fall_v twice_o but_o he_o never_o come_v once_o near_o unto_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o point_n for_o he_o seem_v either_o to_o speak_v of_o babylon_n as_o it_o be_v the_o mystical_a city_n of_o sin_n and_o not_o as_o the_o particular_a city_n of_o rome_n or_o else_o he_o mean_v that_o this_o fall_n do_v signify_v the_o fall_n of_o rome_n from_o paganism_n unto_o christ_n which_o be_v a_o fall_n of_o singular_a felicity_n and_o joy_n differ_v much_o from_o the_o fall_n intend_v in_o this_o place_n which_o be_v a_o fall_n of_o great_a misery_n sorrow_n and_o fear_n as_o you_o shall_v perceive_v anon_o when_o i_o come_v unto_o the_o three_o part_n of_o my_o sermon_n where_o i_o be_o to_o treat_v direct_o of_o this_o point_n therefore_o i_o come_v now_o unto_o a_o second_o exposition_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v ingenious_a but_o be_v not_o substantial_a namely_o that_o rome_n have_v a_o double_a fall_n the_o one_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n truth_n and_o grace_n wherein_o she_o sometime_o stand_v and_o from_o whence_o she_o be_v long_o since_o fall_v but_o though_o she_o be_v so_o fall_v yet_o this_o fall_n be_v include_v in_o the_o subject_n of_o my_o text_n babylon_n which_o imply_v the_o condition_n of_o rome_n in_o her_o sin_n and_o not_o in_o the_o predicate_a it_o be_v fall_v which_o signify_v her_o estate_n in_o her_o punishment_n so_o that_o the_o second_o fall_n of_o rome_n be_v her_o extreme_a ruin_n by_o the_o vindictive_a justice_n of_o god_n and_o indeed_o this_o the_o fall_n here_o to_o be_v understand_v for_o that_o as_o i_o say_v before_o the_o angel_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o punishment_n &_o not_o of_o the_o sin_n of_o rome_n and_o so_o this_o second_o fall_n ensue_v upon_o the_o first_o for_o because_o she_o be_v babylon_n fall_v from_o god_n truth_n she_o shall_v therefore_o have_v another_o fall_n express_v here_o by_o repetition_n and_o perish_v by_o god_n judgement_n three_o then_o this_o fall_n be_v here_o repeat_v to_o show_v the_o certainty_n of_o the_o event_n as_o write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n immutable_a decree_n pharaoh_n have_v two_o dream_n which_o

express_v by_o one_o word_n twice_o utter_v but_o with_o the_o same_o meaning_n and_o the_o same_o intention_n that_o as_o the_o dream_n be_v double_v unto_o pharaoh_n because_o the_o thing_n be_v establish_v by_o god_n so_o the_o subversion_n of_o rome_n be_v inculcate_v here_o in_o my_o text_n unto_o we_o because_o this_o thing_n be_v establish_v by_o god_n and_o shall_v be_v perform_v

duplication_n of_o the_o same_o word_n it_o be_v fall_v it_o be_v fall_v for_o who_o can_v reasonable_o and_o probable_o conceive_v according_a to_o the_o evidence_n and_o appearance_n of_o thing_n in_o that_o time_n or_o long_o after_o that_o rome_n so_o glorious_a in_o the_o empire_n so_o venerable_a in_o the_o church_n so_o potent_a in_o kingdom_n so_o rich_a in_o estate_n so_o renown_v in_o

break_v her_o power_n dissolve_v her_o strength_n and_o defeat_v her_o policy_n to_o her_o confusion_n and_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o name_n so_o he_o have_v now_o so_o clear_o reveal_v and_o so_o
