There is a promise that Ba∣bylon shall bee cast into the Sea as a milstone, Rev. 18.21.* 1.2 And a mighty Angell tooke ••p a stone like a great mill-stone and cast it into the Sea, saying, thus with violence shall the great city Babylon be throwne downe, and and shall be found no more at all. Each word almost hath a gra∣dation; in that an Angell, a strong Angell, taketh a stone,* 1.3 and a great stone, even a mill-stone, which he letteth not barely fall, but casteth and with impetuous force, thrusteth in the bottome of the Sea whence nothing ordi∣narily is recovered, much lesse a mill-stone, thrust from such a hand, and with such force.
