Again, the seventh Angel poured out his 1vial into the air, and there came a loud voice out of the Temple of heaven from the throne, saying, It is done. That is, it is concluded, judgement is given, it shall stand for ever. And there were voices and thunderings, and lightnings, and there was a great earthquake, and the great city was rent into three parts, and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. Then one of the Angels talked with me, saying, Come, I will 2show thee the damnation of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters, with whom have committed fornication the Kings of the earth, & the inhabitants of the earth are drunken with the wine of her fornication. And, in the same Chapter he saith: These have all one mind & shall give their power and authority to the beast, that is, to Antichrist. Thus the kings & all princes (as squires to his body) shall fight against the lamb. But the lamb shall overcome them, for he is lord of lords, and king of kings.
