- 1Doctrine 2.
You heard before, she made war with the Saints, and overcame them, and slaughtered many thousands of them, and showed no mercy neither to man, woman, nor child: No more will the Lord show compassion upon her. In Psal. 137. 8, 9. O daughter of Babylon who art to be destroyed! Happy shall he be that rewardeth thee, as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. It was spoken of old Babylon in Chaldea, and is verified also in this Babylon.

They shall drink of war and slaughter.
