The preceding verses (from ver. 31) relate to the Romans, who
not only destroyed the city and temple of Jerusalem, and
crucified the Messiah, but during almost 300; years sought by
every means to extirpate Christianity. The conversion of
Constantine, though it stopped the rage of persecution, gave
but little help to true religion. The power first exercised
by the emperors, in calling and influencing ecclesiastical
councils, gradually passed into the hands of the clergy; and
the bishop and church of Rome at last carried it to an
enormous length, magnifying themselves above every god.
