Babylons downfall a sermon lately preached at Westminster before sundry of the honourable House…

This Text hath connection with the present times, and the preceding words; for the Holy Ghost having made a description of the state and condition of the Church of Christ, in the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth verses, comes in the sixth verse to make mention of another vision which Saint John saw, and that is of an Angel flying in the midst of heaven with the everlasting Gospel; which is said to be everlasting in opposition to those Innovations and Traditions of men, under which the Churches of Christ had laboured a long time. This vision being past, as a right consequent of the former vision, he sees another Angel crying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, ver. 8. And no wonder, for where the everlasting Gospel is preached in the midst of heaven, that is openly, there Babylon falls, and falls immediately.
