And rendering the cause, why we should flee from Babylon,1 he uttereth the profit, and disprofit. Leest ye receive of her plagues. For who so ever matcheth him self with the ungodly, idolaters, filthy & unclean persons, receiveth the same reward with them: and the reward of this life present, a curse, a reprobate mind, & sundry calamities, recited in the 16. chapt. and elsewhere, and after this life, everlasting torments. Therefore he treateth of no light matter, when he threateth of flying from Babylon, or of avoiding the Romish religion. Many believe these things: for that they consider not, how great is the abomination of the church of Rome before God: and therefore hear these things as it were a fable, and persevere in the same kind of life, wherein they are and have lived hitherto. But he lieth not, that sayeth, how they that provide not for themselves to flee out of Babylon, shall shortly perish with Babylon, and with the whole fellowship of the wicked. Woe be to them.
