- 1The second place (as I said before 17 1) of the history of Babylon, is of the woeful fall and ruin of that whore of Babylon. This historical prediction concerning her, is threefold. The first a plain & simple foretelling of her ruin, in three verses; the second a figurative prediction by the circumstances, thence unto the 20. verse. The third, a confirmation of the same by sign or wonder, unto the end of the chapter.
