Here you see Babylon must down, and yet the Kings lament her fall: Who then must pull her down but the people? Not that the people can raise a War merely for Religion, but God will so order things, that the Papists shall by their malice be put upon such plots and enterprises, that they shall make themselves liable to the justice of the Law, so that Kings shall have no legal power to rescue them from it, but inferior Magistrates, assisted by the people, shall in a just way fall upon them, even then when the Kings of the earth and their Merchants shall lament them. Hence Revel. 19. 6. the Hallelujah that is begun upon the Lord God omnipotents reigning, is begun by the people, I heard the voice as of many waters, saying, Hallelujah. Now the Scripture frequently sets forth the people by waters, as Revel. 17. 15. The waters which thou sawest, were peoples. We read Cant. 5. 11. where the glory of Christ is set forth, it begins at the head; but Cant. 7. 1. where the glory of the Church is set forth, it begins at the feet, How beautiful are thy feet? Surely the right knowledge of these liberties God hath given people, will much help forward the great things God hath to do in this latter age.
