She hath glorified her self, and lived deliciously: for she saith in her heart, I•s[…] a Queen, and am no Widow, and shall see no sorrow.

This wanton, and delicate place of old was full of Sorcerers and Soothsayers. Is. 47. 12, 13. Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy Sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth, &c. Therefore we read that in Daniels time they came before the King to tell him the meaning of his dream, but could not. So it is with our late Babylon, wherein are many Sorceries and Sorcerers. Revel. 9. 21. Revel. 18. 23.
