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

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.

3. You may beleeve downe the walls of Babylon. Faith removes mountaines, though it bee but a graine; By it the walls of Jericho fell, in the blowing of those poore Rammes hornes. And the walls of Iericho were built up to heaven, surely then the Walls of Babylon cannot bee higher. Wherefore seeke out those promises, and threatnings, set your heart towards them, beare your selves upon them, urge, and presse God by vertue of them, and say, though it be very unlikely that Babylon should fall, yet God hath thus, and thus promised, thus and thus threatned, and he is faithfull, here I will stay, and here I'le wait.

4. You may spread the blasphemies of the Babylonish faction in the eyes of heaven. Thus did ⟨p. 26⟩Hezekiah when Rabshakeh blasphemed, and we know how it prevailed. Great, and grievous have the blasphemies been wherewith the men of Babylon have blasphemed the Saints of God, and the footsteps of his Anointed, which God takes as done against himself, and so repays them, Ezek. 35. 12. compared with the 13 verse. In the 12 ver[…] said, I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, they are laid desolata, they are given us to consume: But in the 13 verse these words are charged upon them, as if they were spoken against God himself, Thus with your mouth you have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me. Therefore at the 14 verse follows the punishment. The spreading of their hellish blasphemies, is exceeding prevalent with God, and very potent.
