Babylon must down, and yet the Kings lament her fall, Who then must Pull her Down but the People? Not that the People can raise a War merely for Religion, but God will so order things, That the Papists Shall by their Malice be put upon such Plots and Enterprises, that shall make Themselves Liable to the Justice of the Law, so that King's shall have no Legal Power to rescue them from it, but inferior Magistrates assisted by the People shall in a Just way fall upon them, even then when the Kings of the Earth, and their Merchants shall lament them. Hence Revelation 19. 6. The Hallelujah that is begun upon the Lord God Omnipotent Reigning, is begun by the People. I hear the voice of many Waters, &c.

We read Canticles 5. 11. Where the Glory of Christ is set forth, it begins at the Head, but Cant 7. 1. Where the Glory of the Church is set forth, it begins at the Feet; How beautiful are thy Feet! Surely the Right Knowledge of these Liberties God hath given his People, will much help forward the Great things God hath to do in this Latter Age.
