3. You may believe down the walls of Babylon. Faith removes mountains, though it be but a grain; By it the walls of Jericho fell, in the blowing of those poor Rams horns. And the walls of Jericho were built up to heaven, surely then the Walls of Babylon cannot be higher. Wherefore seek out those promises, and threatenings, set your heart towards them, bear your selves upon them, urge, and press God by virtue of them, and say, though it be very unlikely that Babylon should fall, yet God hath thus, and thus promised, thus and thus threatened, and he is faithful, here I will stay, and here I'll wait.
