Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 18:10

10 Standing afar off for fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, the great city of Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come .

As well as they loved her, they will not come nigh he[illegible: 1 letter] in the time of her Torments: the Fire will be too hot for them, they will only stand aloof off, and pity her, That so great, and brave a City should be so suddenly ruined; such a gay and splendid Church, so politickly founded and put together, should be in a sudden so broke to pieces.
