Babylons falling is Scions ⟨p. 2⟩raising Babylons destruction is Jerusalems salvation. The fourth Vial was poured upon the Sun, which is yet doing, (namely upon the Emperor and that House of Austria) and will be till that House be destroyed.

Let Christ live, and Barabbas die, was the last speech of Tremellius: Let Babylon fall, let Jerusalem rise, and Christ reign in his glory; this is the voice of all the Saints this day, and will continue to their last Voice: It is the work of the day to cry down Babylon, that it may fall more and more, and it is the work of the day to give God no rest, till he sets up Jerusalem as the praise of the whole World. Bl•ssed is he that dasheth the Brats of Babylon against the stones: Blessed is he that hath any hand in pulling down Babylon: and beautiful likewise are the feet of them that bring glad tidings unto Jerusalem, unto Zion, saying, The Lord God omnipotent reigneth. This is the work of this Exercise; to show unto you, how upon the destruction of Babylon Christ shall reign gloriously, and how we are to further it.
