Casaubonus Praesat in Aristotelem If I should alledge all that hath been said by the great lightsâ— of learning in all ages since Aristotle in his commendations I should make a large book but these few will suffice to let Mr Hobbs see how he doth struggle not onely against Aristotle but against the most eminent men of all times and withal that it is not the Church of Romo alone that makes use of Aristotles works but likewise the Protestant Church Therefore I have alledged the chief learned of the Protestants to justifie the Prince of Philosophers whose testimonies I need not turn into English for Mr. Hobbs understands well enough the language they write in onely they that understand not the latin may take notice that Scaliger calls Aristotle the incomparable Heroe of learning and the divine Eagle of knowledge Cardan saith That he excelled in all learning with incredible sagacity without any conspicuous error Melancthoâ— saith that Aristotle is so needful for a Common-wealth that he should be carefully preserved and read in the schooles and universities for without him no learning or method can be had he saith his language is so sweet that nothing is sweeter Erasmus acknowledgeth him to be the Prince and Perfecter of Philosophy and the golden River or rather a world of Wisdom and that his works are a rich inestimable treasure and laments that the greatest parts of his books are lost and praiseth L. Sylla for preserving these few we now enjoy Keckerman
calls him the miracle of nature his works the gift of God and a principal organ of God for enriching the world with so much excellent learning and that they are ungrate wretches who do not acknowledge it but will rail against him â—or it P. Martyr sheweth that Aristotles pains were profitable his artisice great his industry excellent and his rules most notable Zanchie saith that he is of all Philosophers the most excellent and that his method is most clear 〈◊〉 calls him with admiration a man of men the onely Eagle of Philosophy whose stile is fraughted with Attick eloquence and that they who write or speak against him are dunces silly people and such whose books are fit for nothing but for the fire Scaliger calls such barbarous wits Rats Kites Crows Ravens Owles and Bats To conclude I would have Mr. Hobbs take notice that I have no quarrel against him but against his tenets I honor his worth and learning but dislike his opinions I know not his person but I know and respect his parts if there be any thing amiss in these my Animadversions for we are all apt to mistake I shall thank him if he will set me right and inform me better for I never had so great an opinion of my self as not to yeeld to reason and such as are able to convince my understanding The God of truth direct us all into the way of truth Amen FINIS The Contents of each Chapter controverted INTRODUCTION THe world was not made by art or nature Lifeâ— is not the motion of the limbs Chap. 1.

Mr. Hobbs contradicts himself concerning the power which Subjects give to their Soveraigns Pride is no cause of submission to government but of Rebellion rather Chap. 49. The danger of acting against conscience is no presumption but a duty to judge of good and evil Faith is not attained by reason and study but by infusion and inspiration Faith is a miracle An account may be given of inspired faith Prophesie and Faith not the same Faith may stand with civil obedience Princes are subject to their own laws How every private man hath a property in his good Chap. 31.

Christ proves as well the souls immortality as the resurrection of the body to the Saduces The souls immortality proved by Scripoure A place in Job explained The opinion of Christs earthly kingdom and the souls sleep are old heresies Hell is in the lower parts of the earth How the Prophetical speeches concerning Christs Kingdom are to be understood We shall ascend higher then Gods foot-stool Chap 41.
