Jeremiah50:8

8 Remove out of the midst of Babylon , and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before the flocks.

These words immediately following the other, confirm Mr. Calvins notion. God by his Prophet commanding his people to remove out of Babylon, and to go forth chearfully and skipping like the He-goats of the Flock leading the way, and setting an Example unto others. We find much such a call, Isa. 48.20. chap. 51.6. which is applied to Spiritual Babylon, Rev. 18.4. where the coming out is to be understood of a separation from them as to any religious communion, which also was their Duty as to old Babylon but that is not the coming out here spoken of.
