And in the xviii. chapter of the Revelation, the angel is said to have cried mightily with a loud voice:1 Fly my people out of Babylon, least you be infected with her faults, & so be made partners of her plagues for her offences and sins are •rowne so great, that they swell and are come unto the heavens: •••aynely the time doth approach, and the Lords day is at hand. Hear (I beseech you) also holy Paul, that blessed Apostle: He plainly forbiddeth us, ducere jugum cum incredulis, that is, to join or couple our selves with the unfaithful, 2for what fellowship can there be (saith he) of righteousness with unrighteousness, what company hath light with darkness, or what agreement hath Christ with Belial, or what part can the faithful have with the unfaithful, or how doth the temple of God agree with Images or Idols, for you are the temple of the living God: as God hath said, I will walk and dwell in them, I will be their God, and they shall be my people, wherefore depart from amongst them and get you from them (saith the Lord) and touch no unclean thing: and I will receive you, & be to you in the stead of your father, and you shall be unto me as my sons and daughters, saith the almighty Lord.
