This Man of Sin, or Head of Mystery Babylon, lay hid in the Apostle's Time, and was not revealed:1 but the Power of Rome Heathen did not then lie hid, or wanted to be revealed; for it stood visible and high, upon a Hill, even upon seven Hills, according to the Roman Poet, Ovid, (who lived about the very Time of Christ's being on Earth) in Lib. de Tristibus.
Sed quae de septem totum circumspicit Orbem Montibus, Imperii Roma, Deûmque Locus.

Ergo, Rome Heathen cannot be this Babylonish State.
