of souls ye masters of ships and all ye mariners whoever you be that trade upon the sea of this beastial monarchy and all you who love it and bear affection to it ye will do well I say to stand at a distance from it and venture not to approach when you shall see her condemnation and the day of God's vengeance which shall come suddenly upon her If you chuse not to join with the Lamb and those in heaven and earth who sing Hallelujah for judging the great whore at least come not near keep at a distance for fear of her torments when you shall see the dunghill deities her gods created by the blowing of their breath her gods of bread and graven images are but vanity and abomination O ye Romanists this sentence is sure The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth shall perish Thy wisdom and knowledge shall perish He hath turned your counsels into foolishness he will break your bars and your arms and will put his sword into the hand of his delegates A lamentation shall be taken up over the multitude of thy people and the daughters of magnificent nations the kings of the earth shall weep and lament saying Alas alas Babylon the great city the city so powerful They shall convey thee to the grave with those who descend into the pit saying Go down daughter of spiritual Egypt and be with the uncircumcised The mighty shall speak to thee out of the midst of the grave and say Alas the great and powerful city Thou also art become weak as we thy pomp is brought down to the grave * L'Armaged p. 138 c. The Apocalyptic Babylon the Romish church hath oppressed the church of Christ she hath brought it into a harder and longer bondage than the Chaldean Like ancient Babel she hath instructed her young captives in the science of her mythology and mateology her scholastic babblings missals c. having abolished the language of Canaan She hath likewise set up statues of gold silver wood and stone all the false gods they adore especially that grand idol the Mass the great Diana of Italy the goddess of papal Rome She hath commanded all people nations and languages to fall down before it and worship it It is she that hath kindled a burning furnace in all her provinces commanding those who would not fall down to worship the idol to be cast into it But the Lord hath marvelously preserved his church as he did the three young men in the furnace in the midst of her most bloody persecutions that furnace seven times hotter than that of Nebuchadnezzar in all the kingdoms where there was any resistance made to her idolatry The Son of God hath walked with them in the midst of the flames They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony for they loved not their lives even to the death Now they are clothed in white robes and live and reign with him while many have been raised up with the same spirit to maintain and justify their cause before their enemies But the flame of their fiery furnace hath killed those who at the commandment of that beast cast the children of God into it witness the violent and miserable death of such as were the executioners of that bloody beast and the instruments of her butcheries committed on the professors of the truth These examples are yet fresh in our eyes and ears But the king of Babylon in the west is worse and more obstinate than the Chaldean for the latter upon seeing the wonderful deliverance approached and called upon the servants of the Lord to come forth confessing the true God and made an edict that none should speak a word against the God of Shadrach c. and he promoted them in the province of Babylon But do the great deliverances of the servants of God astonish our Roman Babylon Does she hastily arise call out assemble her counsellors governors c. Does she strive to convince them that their fires swords treachery imprisonments butcheries are of no avail Do they confess the true and living God Do their kings and governors dread the cruel orders or publish contrary edicts Quite the reverse They cease not to heap fire to fire and to inflame the furnace still more And though they had seen the flame devour their mighty and valiant men who had cast the children of God into it at their urgent command yet the dragon the beast and false prophet having collected all their force and deceits into one desist not from sending unclean spirits out of their mouth to gather together the kings of the earth in battle against the Lamb and those who follow him for which cause that great tree of the papacy that has become so strong and high shall not only have its branches hewed down and scattered but the trunk also shall be cut up and plucked out of the land of the living This is the decree of the Almighty that shall come upon the king and his kingdom when the word shall yet be in his mouth Is not this great Babylon that I have built c. The voice from heaven shall cry O bloody beast O Romish Babylon thy kingdom is departed from thee When the seventh angel shall pour out his vial in the air a great voice from the temple shall proclaim It is done and then the great city shall be divided into three parts c. A grievous vision is declared against thee the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously the spoiler spoileth Go up ye Elamites besiege ye Medes ye kings and princes who have departed from Babylon go up and besiege O Belshazar king of Romish Babylon make a great feast to thousands of thy lords and great men drink proclaim your solemn festivals praise your gods of gold silver brass wood stone and flour Make good cheer But mark the decree of the Most High See the fingers of the man's hand gone forth writing on the wall of thy royal palace a writing that shall make thy countenance change and thy joints to shake a writing which none of thy astrologers or divines can read or interpret That writing shall be the destruction of all thy grandees thy prelates princes cardinals thy red hats and servants Hear the writing that is written Mene c. God hath brought thy kingdom to an end he hath divided it and given it to whom to these ten kings who shall hate thee and burn thee with fire even to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven who shall eat thy flesh and the flesh of thy kings captains of great and small thy patrimony and the revenues of thy cardinals which are like kings of thy archbishops and also of thy bishops and of thy abbeys and the flesh of all thy monasteries colleges and societies both of the small and of the great Arise then ye captains and princes and anoint your shields for thus saith the Lord Babylon is fallen
