caused Rome to bee set on fire in twelve places at once that hee might delight himselfe in seeing a patterne of the burning of Troy But our late Neroes and Babylonians would see a patterne of hell fire before they came there and to that end would kindle a fire to burne not a City but three goodly Kingdomes at once Duke Alb●● boasteth that in the low Countries he slew in few yeeres six and thirty thousand Protestants for which service the Pope sent him an hallowed sword Vigerius one of the Inquisition affirmeth that it had consumed in lesse than thirty yeeres with severall kinds of torments an hundred and fifty thousand Protestants O unsatiable wolves whom all the bloud of the whole fold of Iesus Christ would not satiate Those that come not out of Babylon must needs partake of her sinnes For first hardly can a man touch pitch and not be defiled it is not every mans case to live chaste in Sodom as Lot did and in this case thou canst as hardly be in her and not of her Secondly impossible it is for him to free himselfe from evill that shunneth not the occasions and provocations of it and just it is that hee that runneth out to meet the Tempter should fall by the temptation Therefore will Ioseph runne out of the house of his tempting Mistresse 3. Our rule is not to avoid only apparant evils but also the appearances of evill Ob. But we may live and converse in Babylon in Rome and popish Countries with good consciences keeping our hearts unto God and hence many goe to their Masses behold their pompe and worship admire and perhaps bow to their Idols and doe as they doe and yet bee Christians good enough for all that Sol. Oh vaine pretexts of vaine men directly giving the Spirit of God the lie who here teacheth vs that those that come not out of her partake of her sinne 2. Did they see their owne disposition and danger as the Lord by this text would have them to doe how naturall a Religion Idolatry is and how prone an unconverted man is vnto it what an inchanted Cup these Idolaters have prepared and every way sweetned to the sense and sensuall man Did they consider what a cleaving pitch a spreading leaven an infecting leprosie a fretting gangren this idolatrous filthinesse is they would listen to those frequent holy counsels Enter not into the way of the wicked passe by the doores of the Harlots house come not neere her threshold avoid the place of so dangerous temptation 3. Did they see the danger in partaking of Babylons sinnes we should heare them change their note Did they discerne how Babylons plagues are chained to Babylons sinnes and that the first mischiefe of communication in her sinnes is more miserable than the latter to receive of her plagues they would listen to that which the spirit here perswadeth for their owne safety Q. Who bee they that partake in Babylons sinnes A. Communication in sinne is either 1. More open or 2. More secret 1. Our Romanists apparantly communicate and expresse her sinnes 1. Her Rebellion by refusing the Oath of supremacie the greatest Rebell in the world is Roman Religion 2. Her Egyptian blindnesse and Recusancy renouncing the Ministery the Scriptures and meanes of knowledge For in Goshen is light and comfort 3. Her filthinesse and whoredomes by frequenting Masses worshipping Images praying to Saints and many other waies acting filthy and formall Idolatry 4. Her Babylonian oppression of Gods servants to their power by plotting and contriving against them threatning rayling boasting slandering bewraying by what means they may how bloudy minded they are only muzled and by their doctrine quiet because as yet Res commodè fieri non potest 2. More secretly our indifferent and wary Protestants partake of her sinnes 1. By externall reverence to or at Idol worship as bowing the knee uncovering the head condemned in the second commandement as an approbation of the Idol 2. By counselling and perswading to Popish Religion for so Caiphas had an hand in Christs death because he counselled it 3. By defence of Popish persons doctrines and practises not a few undertake the defence of grosse Popery in their table discourse as Free-will the Reall Presence Merit of Workes shewing where their affection is whilest they goe for Protestants good enough 4. By silence and not professing against the Idolatry of Popery in doctrine or practise when a man hath a calling in publike or private and in not hindering it so far as a man hath power or place for qui non prohibet malum cum potest facit 5. By flattery and praising Papists in their courses consenting to their discourses countenancing their persons chusing and affecting their societie sort with them eat and drinke and play with them When the Iewes stoned Steven Paul communicated in the sinne by countenance and assistance in keeping the garments Oh where is now Davids spirit when he exclaimed Woe is mee that I am constrained to live in Meshec and to have any thing to doe with such wretched men 6. By spreading Popish bookes pictures and such trash as those Merchants send us over by bestowing for tokens Popish Crosses Images Amulets or any other Popish trumpery And now adaies me thinkes I see the bosomes armes breasts necks and eares carying the Beads Crosses and such Popish bables Whence Ierome himselfe once threw them out which proclaime that many amongst us partake of Babylons sinnes making themselves guilty of her whoredomes and would be thought the base issue of Antichrist and children of Fornication as were the Iewes when they departed from the true worship of God And that ye receive not of her plagues This last part of our text hath two propositions 1. That great and wonderfull plagues are reserved for Babylon for she having drunke deepe of two cups already must drinke a third cup off to the bottome She is drunke with the wine of fornication and drunke with bloud now must she drinke a cup of wrath and plagues If any man will be better confirmed herein the Angell calleth him to shew him the damnation of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters That place consulted sheweth that it is not only a temporary desolation of that state and Citie with sword fire famine according to the old prophecie but also an everlasting rejection of that whole state and kingdome of Antichrist from God into the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone which is the second death 2. That whosoever communicates in the sinne of this Westerne Babel and will not depart from her must partake of her plagues she and they shall drinke of the wine-presse of the wrath of God Gods heavie indignation shall come upon them and her to the uttermost for it is iust with God that those who will not be divided in sinfull societie shall be undivided in judgement and suffering Societie in sinne brings societie in suffering Humane lawes condemne and execute the theefe
