REVEL. CHAP. XVIII. XIX. to Vers. 11.

AN Elegy and a Triumph upon the fall of Babylon: The former Chap. 18. almost verbatim from Isa. 13. & 14. & 21. & 34. & Jer. 51. & Ezek. 27. The later al∣so, Chap. 19. the phrase taken from the Old Testament almost every word. The trium∣phant Song begins with Halleluja several times over. The word is first used at the later end of Psal. 104. where destruction of the wicked being first prayed for, Let the sinners be consumed out of the Earth, and let the wicked be no more, he concludes with, Bless thou the Lord O my soul. Hallelujah.

The observation of the peoples saying over the great Hallel at the Temple [or their great Song of praise] doth illustrate this. The Hallel consisted of several Psalms, viz. from the one hundred and thirteenth to the end of the one hundred and eighteenth, and at very many passages in that Song, as the Priests said the verses of the Psalms, all the people still answered Hallelujah: Only here is one thing of some difference from their course there, for here is Amen Hallelujah, ver. 4. whereas It is a tradition That they an∣swered not Amen in the Temple at all: What said they then? Blessed be the Name of the glory of his Kingdom for ever and ever. Jerus. in Beracoth fol. 13. col. 3. But the promises of God which are Yea and Amen, being now performed, this is justly inserted; as Christ for the same cause in this Book is called Amen, Chap. 3. 14.

The marriage of the Lamb is now come, and his Wife is ready, ver. 7. the Church now compleated.
