question to Algasia. Again in the preface to the book of Didymus of the holy ghost, to Pauliniane. Also in the end of the .2. book against Jovinian. The same in the life of S. Mark: Peter, saith he, in the first epistle, under the name of Babylon, doth figuratively signify Rome. But S. John will expound himself in the .17. chapter. And we understand that the City of Rome shall fall chiefly, with all her ungodliness: And with the same also, the Romish superstition and abomination, through out the world. And the Angel in deed, sayeth she is fallen, which is yet to fall: And that by the ⟨p. 453⟩prophetical manner of speaking,1 wherein that which shall assuredly come to pass is uttered, as though it were now done. To signify the certainty thereof, that reduplication or iterating of the word also appertaineth, she is fallen, she is fallen.2 This is also repeated in the .18. chap. where it shall be showed how it is taken out of the Prophets, &c. Notwithstanding both a desire and Joy also, might seem here to be signified. For such things as we have long, and with a desire looked for, we receive them now cumming and say, thou art come, thou art come at the last long looked for, and now makest me glad. For the saints with a great desire, look and long for the destruction, of that most wicked, most vile, and most troublesome kingdom of Antichrist.
questiō to Algasia. Againe in the preface to the boke of Didymus of the holy ghoste, to Pauliniane. Also in the end of ye .2. boke against Iouinian. The same in the life of S. Marke: Peter, saith he, in ye first epistle, vnder ye name of Babilon, doth figuratiuely signify Rome. But S. Ihon wil expounde himselfe in the .17. chapter. And we vnderstande that the Citie of Rome shall fall chiefly, with all her vngodlynes: And with the same also, the Romish superstition and abomination, through oute the worlde. And the Aungell in dede, sayeth she is fallen, which is yet to fall: And that by the ⟨p. 453⟩propheticall maner of speaking,1 wherein that which shal assuredly come to passe is vttered, as though it wer now done. To signifie the certentie thereof, that reduplication or iterating of the worde also apperteineth, she is fallen, she is fallen.
