33d song of Purgatory in Dante’s Divine comedy, in which the five hundred ten and five messenger of God strangles the harlot and the giant who sins with the harlot.  That harlot is the same old woman, which is called in the 17th chapter of the Revelation, “the mother of harlots and abominations,” and the giant is the representative of the Beast, at this time Pius ix, carrying on his shoulders the whole burden of abominations and blasphemies of the whole succession of the apostles whose master is the apocalyptical dragon, who has given him “power, seat and great authority,” Revel. xiii:  2.  The word which is in your translation seat, is in Greek “throne,” which you understand.  But by the worshipers of the Beast it is usually called “the Holy See,” and you know if you have comprehended this book until this page, that the Pope had received his holy see from “his infernal holiness, the dragon.”  And we will concentrate and kindle an admireable light upon this subject in this treatise.
