But this is from their own security, and not for want of Warnings; so the Old World before the Flood, had warnings sufficient of their Destruction, by the Preaching of Noah, and the building of the Ark, by which he condemned the World, Heb. 11. 7. or left them unexcusable to divine Vengeance. Yet they took ⟨p. 10⟩no notice of these things, but were surprised with the Flood, as if they had never heard or seen any thing that should give them warning of it, as our Saviour declares, Mat. 24. 38, 39. and when the time comes of the destruction of Mystical-Babylon, she shall say in that very day wherein her Judgements come upon her, I sit as a Queen, and shall see no sorrow; notwithstanding all her warnings in the pouring out of the Vials of previous judgments, Rev. 18. 7, 8.
