This head of the Babylonish State is said to sit in the Temple of God, which the Power of Rome Heathen did not do, neither in the Temple of Jerusalem, nor in the Church, which is more properly the Temple of God: for the Jews kept the possession of the Literal Temple, till it was destroyed; and for the Church of God, the Heathen Emperors never loved it so well, as to make their residence in it, but the Bishop of Rome before he showed himself to be that wicked ⟨p. 28⟩one (viz.) the man of Sin, did evidently sit in the Church or Temple of God, and so fulfilled this Prophecy in the very Letter of it.
