The text saith, that upon the pouring forth of this vial,1 there was a loud voice heard out of the Temple of heaven from the throne: that is, from the very presence of God, saying, It is done, it is dispatched, the utter overthrow of Rome is fully concluded of, and all things finished which belong to the pouring forth of the seven vials, which contain the seven last plagues, wherein the whole wrath of God is fulfilled, as appeareth chap. 15. As before it is said, Babylon is fallen, 2because it should certainly fall: so here God himself saith, It is done, because it shall certainly be done. For whatsoever God hath determined to be done, is as it were already done, because it shall most certainly be effected. Sith then the Lord hath pronounced this of Rome, there remaineth nothing but a daily accomplishment ⟨p. 302⟩of it: and let all the Papists know for a certainty, that they must go to their gear, they must come to their payment, there is no way of evasion.
