The Third (being Bishop Be∣dels Sermon on Rev. 18.4. Come out of her my people, &c.)

The Speaker, our Saviour Christ: His people, those within the Covenant of Grace: A paral∣leling the Speeches here, with those of the Prophets; Of Litte∣rall Babell; who meant by Mysti∣call Babylon: The judgement of Bellarmine, Salmeron, Viegas, to be the City of Rome. How the title of Babylon the great, and her reigning over the Kings of the earth, rather agrees to Rome Papal, then Heathen: The Cup of inchantment whereby she hath

deceived all Nations, and one in speciall, in imitation of literall Babell, (Dan. 1.) applyed to that See; Her Wantonnesse, Pride, sit∣ting as a Queen, glorifying her self: the blood of Christians shed by the Papacy, to be beyond that of Heathen Romes persecution: his conclusion from the Pre∣mises.

That there are some of Gods people in Babylon; That they are to goe out not only in affection, but the place also: Of Baptisme, Grounds of the Catechisme, Faith, taught there; of the doctrine of of merits: What is to be thought of those that doe yet live there, and cannot come out: Whether the Church of Rome be a true Church, rightly stated, p. 83. Of the Ordination had there, by the use of these words; Whose sins ye re∣mit,

&c. That the Papall Mo∣narchy is Babylon, proved by arguments at the barre of Reason, and from common principles of Christianity. p. 89.

Answer to that motive of stay∣ing in Babylon, because they are told they may be saved in it:

An exhortation of such as are yet in that captivity to come out, and of our selves to come further out. Of Impropriations, Dispen∣sations, &c. with a conclusive prayer for the destruction of Ba∣bylon.
