conical_a glass_n in_o a_o mould_n than_o which_o there_o can_v not_o be_v any_o thing_n attempt_v less_o become_v such_o a_o man_n as_o he_o do_v apprehend_v himself_o to_o be_v brief_o as_o to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n either_o m._n hobbs_n do_v know_v of_o these_o school_n or_o not_o if_o he_o know_v not_o of_o they_o i_o dare_v undertake_v he_o not_o to_o be_v so_o great_a a_o

which_o yet_o will_v more_o appear_v by_o that_o which_o follow_v pag._n 370._o 4._o that_o which_o he_o there_o assert_n concerning_o university_n be_v that_o whereas_o a_o university_n be_v a_o incorporation_n of_o many_o public_a school_n in_o one_o town_n 1._o the_o principal_a school_n be_v ordain_v for_o the_o roman_a religion_n the_o roman_a law_n the_o art_n of_o medicine_n to_o this_o it_o be_v easy_o answer_v that_o however_o the_o ordination_n of_o they_o have_v former_o be_v the_o two_o university_n have_v since_o the_o cast_n off_o the_o papal_a yoke_n be_v regulate_v by_o the_o civil_a power_n and_o be_v conform_v to_o it_o so_o that_o the_o discourse_n of_o the_o romish_a religion_n or_o law_n with_o reflection_n upon_o we_o be_v disingenuous_a and_o nothing_o to_o this_o purpose_n 2._o for_o the_o study_n of_o philosophy_n it_o have_v no_o otherwise_o place_n then_o as_o a_o handmaid_n to_o the_o romish_a religion_n this_o be_v in_o truth_n so_o barbarous_a a_o assertion_n as_o nothing_o beside_o the_o reverence_n to_o his_o grey_a hair_n restrain_v i_o from_o speak_v blunt_o of_o he_o what_o friend_n to_o the_o romish_a religion_n our_o university_n have_v bring_v forth_o that_o party_n have_v feel_v and_o it_o be_v say_v that_o mr_n hobbs_n be_v no_o otherwise_o a_o enemy_n to_o it_o save_v only_o as_o it_o have_v the_o name_n of_o a_o religion_n 3._o and_o since_o the_o authority_n of_o aristotle_n be_v only_a current_n there_o that_o study_n be_v not_o proper_o philosophy_n but_o aristotelity_n how_o far_o the_o authority_n of_o aristotle_n be_v current_a among_o we_o sir_n both_o you_o and_o i_o have_v speak_v what_o his_o design_n be_v concerning_o the_o public_a read_n of_o his_o leviathan_n himself_o have_v tell_v we_o from_o whence_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o only_a thing_n which_o pain_v he_o be_v the_o desire_n that_o aristotelity_n may_v be_v change_v into_o hobbeity_n and_o instead_o of_o the_o stagirite_n the_o world_n may_v adore_v the_o great_a malmesburian_a philosopher_n 4._o for_o geometry_n till_o of_o very_o late_a time_n it_o have_v no_o place_n at_o all_o and_o if_o any_o man_n by_o the_o ingenuity_n of_o his_o nature_n have_v attain_v to_o any_o degree_n of_o perfection_n in_o it_o he_o be_v common_o think_v a_o magician_n and_o his_o art_n diabolical_a geometry_n have_v now_o so_o much_o place_n in_o the_o university_n that_o when_o mr_n hobbs_n shall_v have_v publish_v his_o philosophical_a and_o geometrical_a piece_n i_o assure_v myself_o i_o be_o able_a to_o find_v a_o great_a number_n in_o the_o university_n who_o will_v understand_v as_o much_o or_o more_o of_o they_o than_o he_o desire_v they_o shall_v indeed_o too_o much_o to_o keep_v up_o in_o they_o that_o admiration_n of_o he_o which_o only_o will_v content_v he_o and_o if_o in_o our_o time_n these_o study_n have_v be_v advance_v we_o may_v have_v expect_v from_o a_o temperate_a man_n rather_o the_o commendation_n for_o our_o advance_n than_o a_o exprobration_n with_o the_o ignorance_n of_o our_o ancestor_n the_o truth_n be_v sir_n about_o that_o time_n when_o mr_n hobbs_n be_v conversant_a in_o magdalen-hall_n the_o constitution_n and_o way_n of_o the_o university_n may_v likely_a be_v incline_v to_o his_o character_n of_o it_o but_o now_o his_o discourse_n seem_v like_o that_o of_o the_o seven_o sleeper_n who_o after_o many_o year_n awake_v in_o vain_a address_v themselves_o to_o act_v according_a to_o the_o state_n of_o thing_n when_o they_o lie_v down_o i_o shall_v speak_v no_o more_o to_o this_o four_o head_n and_o to_o the_o five_o contain_v a_o enumeration_n of_o particular_a error_n they_o all_o or_o most_o be_v resolve_v into_o that_o aristotelity_n he_o charge_v we_o with_o and_o require_v no_o answer_n save_v that_o we_o enjoy_v a_o liberty_n of_o philosophise_v and_o that_o if_o he_o shall_v do_v we_o the_o honour_n to_o come_v among_o we_o i_o be_o persuade_v he_o will_v hardly_o find_v any_o other_o fault_n with_o we_o except_o that_o great_a unpardonable_a one_o that_o the_o public_a read_n of_o his_o leviathan_n be_v not_o by_o a_o sanction_n of_o the_o magistrate_n impose_v upon_o we_o 5._o the_o particular_a error_n which_o he_o will_v charge_v we_o with_o be_v near_o twenty_o in_o number_n among_o which_o there_o be_v not_o one_o either_o in_o philosophy_n politics_n or_o divinity_n which_o he_o have_v prove_v or_o can_v prove_v both_o to_o be_v a_o error_n and_o to_o be_v maintain_v by_o our_o university_n i_o shall_v give_v a_o brief_a account_n of_o they_o all_o 1._o his_o first_o error_n charge_v upon_o we_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o abstract_a essence_n and_o immaterial_a substance_n concerning_o which_o as_o i_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v his_o ratiocination_n to_o be_v good_a as_o to_o the_o former_a part_n viz._n of_o vniversall_n and_o formal_a entity_n so_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o make_v good_a upon_o a_o just_a occasion_n that_o be_v be_v a_o superior_a notion_n to_o body_n that_o immaterial_a substance_n or_o separate_v substance_n be_v no_o contradiction_n and_o that_o the_o truth_n of_o philosophy_n be_v better_o salve_v upon_o that_o ground_n then_o upon_o his_o imagination_n 2._o his_o next_o quarrel_n be_v at_o nunc_fw-la stans_fw-la the_o common_a definition_n of_o eternity_n this_o i_o affirm_v to_o be_v more_o intelligible_a than_o a_o successive_a eternity_n or_o a_o progress_n in_fw-la infinitum_fw-la which_o be_v the_o contrary_a position_n of_o all_o that_o which_o follow_v i_o do_v not_o know_v one_o thing_n which_o be_v hold_v by_o any_o of_o we_o 3._o as_o that_o one_o body_n may_v be_v in_o many_o place_n many_o in_o one_o 4._o that_o gravity_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o

error_n be_v these_o 1._o that_o one_o make_v thing_n incongruent_a another_o the_o incongruity_n 2._o that_o private_a appetite_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o public_a good_a 3._o lawful_a marriage_n be_v
