To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It had adopted all the heathenish gods of the countries it had subdued ; and, lest any unknown god should not receive due worship, it had built a temple dedicated to all the deities of Paganism, and called the Pantheon, besides 402 other heathenish temples, which historians relate to have been erected in that city for simi- lar purposes. Old Pagan Rome, therefore, became a vic- tim of God's anger, and was justly doomed to drink the full cup of his wrath, even in the most conspicuous man- ner. H...e had formerly sent Nabuchodonozor as a scourge to execute his avenging justice against Jerusalem, and Cyrus to destroy Babylon ; so, in like manner, he sent the instruments of his wrath, and executers of his justice, to destroy the great imperial city of Pagan Rome, which in the Apocalypse of St. John, is styled Babilon, on ac- count of the resemblance between it and ancient Babylon, as to the extent of its walls, and the excess of its haugh- tiness and cruelty in shedding the blood of the holy mar- tyrs.
