There is a twofold Spiritual Kingdom spoken of, viz. the Kingdom of Light, and the Kingdom of Darkness, called sometimes the Kingdom and Power of Darkness. •1. His Kingdom is in the Hearts of ungodly Men, he rules and reigns there. 2. His Kingdom takes in all the Confines and Territories of Anti-Christ, and all other false and corrupt, erroneous and tyrannical States whatsoever, throughout the whole Earth, where his Power is owned, and his Authority subjected to. 3. He is said to be King of the bottomless Pit.
