If it be not Rome Heathen, then adieu to Dr. Hammond, and the Rhemists, we have what we desire: If it be, then Rome Papal is a far worse Place than Rome Heathen or Babylon ever was; — And then what a fine Church do the People make themselves?
10. If the Place, Seat, and City of Rome was not utterly ruined, (so as to be no more for ever as a Place of Commerce, Trade, and Human Society,) when the Heathen Power ceased, — then Rome Heathen cannot be this Babylon, because at the Ending and Downfall of this Babylon, the Place, Seat, and City is utterly ruined, so as to be no more a Place of Trade,1 Commerce, or human Society: And the ten Horns which thou sawest upon the Beast, these shall hate the Whore, and shall make her desolate, and shall eat her Flesh, and burn her with Fire. Verse 18. And the Woman which thou sawest is that great City which reigneth over the Kings of the Earth — for her Sins which God hath remembered, 2which have reached unto Heaven, therefore shall her Plagues come in one Day, Death, and Mourning, and Famine, and she shall be utterly burnt with Fire: For strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. Ver. 11, 12, 13. All Sorts of Merchandise, Traffic, Trade, and Commerce with humane Society, shall cease, so as to be no more in her at all; and the good Things which she in Fullness enjoyed before, even all Things that were dainty and goodly, are now departed from her, and she shall find them no more at all, vers. 14. for in one Hour is she made desolate. And a mighty Angel took up a Stone, like a great Mill-stone, and cast it into the Sea, saying, Thus with Violence shall that great City Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. Verse 21. And the Voice of Harpers, and Musicians, and of Pipers, and Trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no Craftsman, of whatsoever Craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the Sound of a Mill-stone shall be heard no more at all in thee. Verse 22. And the Light of the Candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the Voice of the Bridegroom, and of the Bride, shall be heard no more at all in thee. Verse 23.
