The two great works of the devil which •e in this space of time wrought against the kingdom of Christ, are his erecting his Antichristian and Mahometan kingdoms, which have been, and still are, two kingdoms of great extent and strength, both together swallowing up the ancient Roman empire; the kingdom of Antichrist ⟨p. 216⟩swallowing up the Western empire, and Satan's Mahometan kingdom the Eastern•empire.
