Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

One would wonder that such arts and works of darkness, so senseless and absurd, so impious and profane, could be found in a country where divine revelation shone so clearly; yet we find remains of them even where Christ's holy religion is known and professed; such are the powers and policies of the rulers of the darkness of this world.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
