And
I
heard
another

saying
,
come
out

The
Ministers
of
God
must
accomplish
it
by
preaching
the
gospell
,
at
the
sound
whereof
Babylon
falleth
as
once

calling
by
this
long
oratorious
exhortation
to
relinquish
Babylon
(
as
Lot
was
warned
to
leaue

)
in
a
continuat

speech
to

a
part
of
which
I
haue
chosen
for
the
subiect
of
my
discourse
.
Clem.
Alex.
in

.
And
I
heard
,
&c.
It
hath
beene
the
admirable
wisdome
of
the
Almighty
,
never
from
the
beginning
to
leaue
his
Church
without
some
comfortable
promise
.
So
immediatly
after
the
fall
of
our
first
Parents
,
hee
foretold
of
that
restauration
which
should
be
made
by
Messias
his
son
,

as
it
came
to
passe
in

of

So
hee
foretold
by
Daniel
&
Ezechiel
,
of
the
great
trouble
which
his
Church
should
endure
by
the
persecutions
of
the
divided

,
Alexanders
posteritie
,
Diod.
l.

&
Appian
.
especially
the
Kings
of
Egypt
,
and
Syria
,
which
descended
of
Ptolomeus
and
Seleucus
,
whom
the
Scripture
calleth
the
Kings
of
the
North
,
and
the
South
,
by
the
space
of
294.
yeares
,
and
of
the
precise
determination
thereof
at
the
comming
of
Christ
.
So
he
told
Israel
of
their
great
servitude
,
and
intolerable
bondage
in
Egypt
,
Gen.
15.
and
of
the
full
end
thereof
after
400
yeares
.
So
here
he
sent
Iohn
the
Evangelist
into
a
little
Iland
of

,
lying
in

of
a
mysticall
Babylon
(
I
meane
Rome
)
as
Ieremy
had
foretold
of
the
ruine
of
literall
Babylon
.
Rome
in
this
booke
compared
to
Sodome
for

Idolatrie
,
C.

and
in

to
Babylon

And
I
heard
,
&c.
It
is
like
to
that

And
I

out

,
as
they
that
vsed
it
not
.
Generally
it
is
to
be
vnderstood
of
the
companie
of
the
wicked
;
we
must
leaue
them
,
they
are
lulled
in
the
cradle
of
securitie
,
the
Divell

their
eies
with

,
filleth

,
and
lardeth

with
the
neglect
of

;
especially
it
is
applied
to
Rome
,
which
will
easily
appeare
to
be
Babylon
.
That
yee
bee
not
partakers
of
her
sinnes
:
either
in
consenting
vnto

&

The
summe
of
which
Scripture
,
In
Ref.
Cathol.
according
to
iudicious
M.
Perkins
is
,
That
they
who
hope
for
salvation
must
avoid
the
faith
and
Religion
of
the
Romish
Church
.
Jn
the
words
I
obserue
two
general
parts
.
-
1
An
admonition
to
forsake
Babylon
.
Divisie
.
And
I
heard
&c
-
2
The
reasons
for
this
desertion
.
That
yee
bee
not
partakers
,
&c.
In
the
1
Generall
,
there
is
.
1.
The
instrument
of
admonition
.
A
voice
from
heaven
.
2
The
matter
of
the
admonition
.
Come
out
of
her
my
people
.
In
the
second
generall
.
1.
The
danger
of
contagion
conversing
with
the
wicked
.
Lest
yee
be
partakers
.
2
The
danger
of
punishment
to
be
inflicted
vpon
the
consorts
and
complices
of
the
vngodly
.
And
that
yee
receaue
not
of
her
plagues
.
-
In
the
1.
There
is
a
heavenly
voice
sounded
.
-
In
the
2.
The
elect
are
called
.
-
In
the
3.
An
infection
is
threatned
.
-
In
the
4.
The
plagues
of
the
wicked
are
manifested
Of
these
in
their
order
,
not
what
may
bee
spoken
,
but
what
the
short
time
,
my
weake
readings
,
and
simple
,
but
well
meaning
abilitie
,
with
your
patient
attention
and
especially
Gods
gratious
assistance
shall
permit
.
Wherein
I
shall
desire
to
speake
resolutely
,
yet
with
submission
to
so
learned
an
assembly
.
The
cause
is
Gods
,
and
my
warrant
from
heaven
to
proclaime
this
voice
as
powerfully
,
as
my
weaknesse
shall
suffer
me
.
It
was
a
vaine
challenge
of
Galilaeus
de
Galilaeis
,
1●

to
summon
the
starres
to
come
neere
him
,
and
to
giue
him
an
account
of
themselues
;
Nuntius

he
would
heare
their
discourses

And
a
fond
brag
of

that
ever
since

that
no

should

And
of
him
who

that
he

that
which
never

S.
Iohn
heard
many
strange
voices
from
heaven
by
the
trumpets
of
Angels
,
amongst
which
this
is
very
remarkeable
.
It
is
a
voice
more
shrill
then
that
of
the
Aegyptian
who
from

promontory
of

was
heard
of

for
they
that

heare
this
voice
and
liue

In

there
is
vox
Implorativa
,
with
my
voice
I
called
vpon
the

and
if

hee
must

shall
admonish
him

I
collect
this
doctrine
.
The

the
place
whence
it
commeth
,
which
is

Not
that
this
is
to
bee
vnderstoode
only
of
the
place
whither
Christ
ascended
,
but
also
of
the
congregation
of
the
faithfull
where
he
is
in
the
midst
.

praise

that
had

them
Kings
and

vnto
God
,
and
they
should
reigne

,

Ep.
2.6
.
The
church
is
called
heavenly
Ierusalem
and
in
other
places
the
kingdome
of
heaven
;
so
that
whether
God
from
heaven
doth
command
Noah
to
make
&
enter
the
Arke
or
that
an
Angell
bid
Lot
get
him
out
of
Sodom
?
Whether
Moyses
importune
the
people
to
get
them
from
the
tents
of
Dathan
and
Abiram
,
or
the
Prophets
Isaie
&
Ieremy
teach
this
Scripture
for
the
leauing
of
Babylon
,
we
must
heare
it
as
the
voice
of
God
comming
from
heaven
.
As
there
is
a
woe
against
them
that
wil
not
preach
,
and
a
curse
against
them
that
preach
negligently
,
so
against
them
that
wil
not
heare
carefully
,
whereby
they
might
avoid
iudgements
and
punishments
.
There
is
a
threefold
voice
of
woes
,
c.
8.13
.
Woe
,
woe
,
woe
to
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth
.
Woe
vnto
the
world
because
of
Poperie
,
whereby
men
are
punished
in
their
soules
,
they
will
not
goe
to
the
law
,
&
to
the
testimony
,
therefore
they
can
haue
no
light
.
Woe
vnto
the
world
for
Turcisme
,
because
thereby
thousandes
are
murthered
in
their
bodies
not
yeelding
to
the
word
,
whereby
they
might
avoid
the
Lords
wrath
.
Wo
vnto
the
world
because
of
the
last
iudgement
,
for
thereby
the
natural
worldlings
shall
be
plagued
both
in
body
and
soule
in
Hell
fire
for
evermore
,
because
they
harkned
not
to
the
sound
of
the
Gospell
.
The
dangers
of
all
these
may
be
prevented
by
hearing
this
sacred
voice
,
Avoice
from
heaven
.
Vse
1
Acomfort
to
all
Churches
which
haue
the
voice
of
the

they
are

wherein
if
any

were
truely
happy
,
it
is
this

which
hath
the
voice
of

of

I
deny
not
,
but
by
reading
a
man
may
receaue
much
comfort
,
and
be
excellently
prepared
,
to
get
sauing
knowledge
:
yet
the
voice
of
preaching
is
the
excellentest
ordinary
means
which
God
hath
sanctified
to
the
salvation
of
his
children
,
and
to
make
them
wise
vnto
salvation
.
By
this
the
minde
of
the
ignorant
is
enlightned
,
the
memory
of
the
forgetfull
is
strengthned
,
the
heart
of
the
obstinate
is
mollified
,
the
affections
of
the
vntoward
are
reduced
,
the
will
of
the
perverse
is
restrained
,
and
the
life
of
the
vngodly
so
changed
,
that
at
the
voice
of
a
simple
and
sinfull
man
,
he
crieth
out
with
the
Iewes
,
Men
&
Brethren
,
what
shall
we
doe
.
With
David
;
I
am
the
man
,
with
Saul
,
I
haue
sinned
,
and
with
every
private
convert
to
say
,
God
is
in
these
men
indeed
,
when
they
preach
the
heavenly
voice
.
Were
it
not
for
preaching
the
word
,
where
were
the
vnderstanding
of
it
,
consolation
by
it
,
direction
from
it
?
Without
it
how
should
hard
places
be
made
plaine
,
plaine
be
applyed
,
repugnances
in
it
be
reconciled
,
or
oppugners
of
it
bee
confuted
.
Take
away
preaching
,
and
then
downe
with
our
schooles
of
learning
,
our
houses
of
prayer
,
our
obedience
to
Superiours
,
our
loue
to
equals
,
and
our
right
to
heaven
.
It
is
the
power
of
God
to
salvation
,
the
pillar
of
God
in
our
iourney
to
Canaan
,
the
Angell
of
God
to
bring
vs
out
of
Sodome
,
the
messenger
of
God
to
prepare
his
way
,
the
trumpet
of
God
to
cry
downe
Iericho
,
and
the
caller
to
bring
vs
vnto
the
Church
of
Christ
,
being
illuminated
by
the
spirit
.
For
it
is
not
the
outward
ministery
of
the
word
only
that
is
able
to
convert
.
Let
the
Preacher
be
one
of
a
thousand
.
Iob.
33.23
.
for
the
excellencie
of
his
gifts
as
prompt
in
the
law
of
God
as
Ezra
was
,
as
mightie
in
the
Scriptures
as
Apollo's
,
as
eloquent
to
quicken
&
enliue
his
speech
,
as
if
he
spake
with
the
tongue
of
an
Angel
,
as
painefull
as
Paule
,
who
laboured
more
then
all
the
rest
,
as
blameles
in
conversation
as
Zachary
.
Let
the
people
heare
never
so
gladly
as
Herod
heard
Iohn
.
Never
so
earnestly
as
the
Iewes
heard
the
Prophet
as
one
that
had
a
pleasant
voice
and
could
sing
well
.
Esek.
33.32
.
Let
them
heare
never
so
long
,
as
those
that
heard
Paule
vntill
midnight
.
Let
the
matter
bee
handled
never
so
excellently
,
as
all
the
Synagogue
wondred
at
the
gratious
words
which
proceeded
out
of
Christs
mouth
.
Yet
if
the
Lord
giue
not
a
blessing
,
it
is
but
the
savour
of
death
vnto
death
.
Paule
may
plant
and
Apollo
water
,
but
God
gaue
the
increase
.
Therefore
every
one
must
pray
vnto
the
Lord
for
an
vnderstanding
heart
,
that
as
he
would
open
the
mouth
of
the
Preacher
,
so
also
by
his
power
,
he
would
from
heauen
open
the
eares
and
hearts
of
the
whole
congregation
,
that
they
may
heare
this
heavenly
voice
.

A
Reproofe

those
who
hearing
the
heavenly
voice
of
the
Church
by
the
mouthes
of
the
Ministers
,
whereby
their
sinnes
are
plainely
reproved
,
and
their
consciences
powerfully
convicted
,
for
a
while
are
as
Agrippa
almost
perswaded
to
leaue
their
swearing
,
lying
,
drunkennesse
,
&c:
wil
with
teares
confesse
their
sinnes
and
promise
great
reformation
,
but
presently
al
their
good
motions
vanish
like
a
morning
dew
,
they
returne
to
their
former
courses
,
as
the
dog
to
his
vomit
,
They
liue
but
their
sicke
repentance
is
dead

The
preacher
is
vnto
them
a
voice
,
&
nothing
else
,
No
voice
from
heaven
.
But
it
is
farre
otherwise
with
the
godly
.
If
the
Lord
speake
they
tremble
,
if
his
word
condemne
a
sinne
in
them
they
fal
downe
&
mourne
before
him
till
he
forgiue
it
.
So
were
the
Publicans
moved
at
the
preaching
of
Iohn
Baptist
,
so
the
Iewes
were
pricked
in
their
hearts
at
the
preaching
of
Peter
,
so
the
Iaylour
cryed
to
Paule
and
Sylas
what
must
I
doe
to
bee
saved
.
And
good
Iosias
,
his
heart
melted
at
the
hearing
of
the
law
,
so
effectual
is
the
word
in
the
hearts
of
the
elect
let
the
preacher
be
never
so
weake
and
sinneful
,
as
Chrysostome
well
observeth

When
S.
Austens
hearers
with
great
applaus
commended
his
preaching
but
mourned
not
for
their
sinnes
,
he
told
them
.
Folia
haec

Nos

quaerimus
.
These
are
Leaues
,
we
would
haue
fruit
.
So
S.
Chrysostome
,
If
yee
heare
me
with
sorrow
I
shal
be
thankfull
and
glad
,
for
who
can
make
me
ioyful
but
you
who
made
me
sorrowfull
.
He
thought
as
Ierome
,
that
the
best
commendations
of
the
speakers
were
the
teares
of
the
hearers
at
the
heavenly
voices
.
Vse

Is
it
so
that
the
voice
of
the
Church
is
a
heavenlie
voice
,
then
let
not
any
man
be
puffed
vp
with
the
excellency
of
his
gifts
.
What
hath
he
that
is
not
from
aboue
?
Let
not
any
contemne
his
brother
though
far
meaner
.
God
often
vseth
weake
meanes
to
confounde
the
mighty
.
Let
not
any
haue
the
persons
of
men
in
a
factious
admiration
saying
I
am
of
Paul
,
I
am
of
Apollo
,
I
am
of
Cephas
.
But
let
vs
giue
one
another
the
right
hands
of
fellowship
.
Let
vs
haue
the
Ministers
in
loue
for
their
worke
sake
.
Let
vs
be
swift
to
heare
and
pray
the
Lord
of
the
harvest
to
thrust
forth
labourers
into
his
harvest
.
Let
vs
take
heede
how
we
heare
and
pray
vnto
the
Lord
to
open
our
hearts
.
For
alas
,
the
hearts
of
many
are
so
locked
and
barred
against
the
the
word
,
as
the
gates
of
Iericho
were
against
the
Israelits
,
when
none
could
go
out
or
enter
in
.
Iosh.

Therfore
is
the
Lord
so
earnest
in
knocking
,
calling
,
crying
by
his
voice
from
heaven
.
He
knoweth
of
what
mettall
and
matter
we
are
made
.
This
maketh
him
continue
crying
till
we
answere
,
speake
still
Lord
,
thy
servants
heare
.
Hearing
is
necessary
,
for
it
is
the
sense
of
discipline
through
which
as
through
the
beautifull
gate
,
that
heavenly
Nymph
,
knowledge
entreth
into
the
temple
of
the
soule
.
Faith
commeth
by
hearing
.
They
that
wil
not
heare
are
a
generation
of
deafe
adders
that
stop
their
eares
against
the
voice
of
the
charmer
,
worse
than
guilty
Adam
,
raging
Saule
,
the
stiffenecked
Iewesi
,
mpious
Herod
,
vnhappy

and

Many
blessings
are
appropriated
to
the
hearer
,
and
as
many
curses
adiudged
to
him
that
will
not
heare
,
all
included
in
that
of
Salomon
.
He
that
turneth
away
his
eare
from
hearing
the
law
,
Prov.

his
very
praier
shal
be
turned
into
sin
.
Therfore
he
that
hath
eares
to
heare
,
let
him
heare
.
See
that

despise
not
him
that

For

much

What

The

Haue

The

What

and
is
there
so
little
hope
of

there
?
O
then
blesse
wee
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
praise
we
him
and
magnifie
him
for
ever
,
that
this
our
Church
is
freed
from
that
land
of
darknesse
and
house
of
bondage
,
where
their
holynesse
is
hypocrisie
,
their
zeale
fury
,
their
faith
vncertaine
,
their
chiefest
ground
vnwritten

.
But
our
faith
is
the
same
with
the
faith
of
the
Patriarches
and
Prophets
&
righteous
Fathers
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
.
Let
vs
looke
vpon
them
,
and
consider
with
our selues
?
Were
they
Idolaters
,
Abel
,
Enoch
,
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
Iacob
,
David
?
Had
they
any
to
go
vnto
for
Indulgences
and
Pardons
?
Did
they
one
call
vpon
the
other
?
Happy
are
wee
that
are
in
such
a
case
to
follow
these
worthies
.
Blessed
are
we
that
haue
God
only
to
bee
our
Father
&
this
Church
to
be
our
Mother
.

publiquely

of

O
the
patience
of
a
mercifull
God
never
striking
but
first
warning
,
not

taking

!
How
patient
is
he
towards

He

For
as
S.
Ambrose
reporteth
of
the
Partridges
,
that
one
stealeth
away
the
egges
of
another
and
hatcheth
them
,
but
,
saith
he
,
divers
of
the
young
being
hatched
,
when
they
afterward
heare
the
voice
of
their
own
&
naturall
dams
in
the
field
,
leaue
their
stepmother
,
and
come
againe
to
her
,
to
whom
by
originall
right
they
belonged
.
So
many
,
who
haue
beene
infected
by
the
Church
of
Rome
,
after
true
grace
imparted
from
aboue
,
returne
from
their
Seminaries
,
and
adioyne
themselues
to
our
happy
and
true
Church
,
where
wee
haue
the
worde
truely
preached
,
the
sacraments
rightly
administred
,
the
poor
charitably
releeued
,
and
Gods
graces
so
abundantly
bestowed
,
that
God
hath
not
dealt
so
with
any
other
nation
,
because
we
are
his
people
,
and
the
sheepe
of
his
pasture
,
whom
he
hath
called
out
of
Babylon
,
that
we
might
not
be
partakers
of
her
sinnes
.
As
it
followeth
in
the
first
of
my
second
generall
.
Amongst
all
the
occasions
of
sinne
,
there
is
none
more
dangerous
then
evill
company
.
For
can
a
man
take
coales
of
fire
in
his
bosome
,
and
not
bee
burnt
,
or
handle
pitch
,
and
not
be
defiled
,
or
fly
with
Ostritches
and
Pellicans
,
and
nor
grow
wild
,
or
dwel
in
the
tents
of
wickednesse
,

.
and
not
learne
to
be
wicked
?

Sooner
the

may

,
then
the

reformed
by
the

:
so
was
it
like
to
be
in
Babylon
,
and
therefore
the
people
of
God
are
called
out
,
whence
this
Doctrine
ariseth
.

It
is
the
part
of
Gods
children
,
to
avoid
the
company
of
the
wicked
,
least
they
be
infected
by
them
.
This
made
Moses

earnestly
to
exhort
the
Iewes
,

to
make
no
compact
with

other
nations
,
least
they
should
bee
vnto
them
a
snare
,
to
cause
them
to
serue
other
Gods
,
and
so
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
should
be
kindled
against
them
,
and
destroy
them
.
Which
they
not
obeying
,
were
mingled
amongst
the
Heathen
,
and
learned
their
workes
.
How
much
more
necessary
is
this
doctrine
now
in
the
time
of
Antichrist
,
the
Lord
sending
strong
delusions
,
that
if
it
were
possible
,
the
elect
might
be
