[Rev. 16.21.] Lord, Hasten upon the Antichristian Babylon, that Great Hail out of Heaven, whereof every Stone shall be about the weight of a Talent.
[Isa. 28. 2] Lord, Let not thy people be Invaded by any Enemy, which as a Tempest of Hail, and a Destroying Storm, shall cast them down to the Earth.
[Ezek. 13 13. Isa. 28.17 Psal. 18.12.] Lord, Let not my Refuges, be such, as there shall be an Overflowing Shower in thine Anger, and Great Hailstones in thy Fury to consume them; Let them not be, Refuges of Lies, which the Hail shall sweep away. Fit me for the Day when I shall see the Descending Jesus Alarm the World with Brightness, Hailstones, and Coals of Fire.
