what_o else_o mr._n hobbes_n shall_v here_o mean_v than_o particular_a man_n action_n i_o know_v not_o and_o then_o certain_o it_o be_v nonsense_n for_o he_o to_o say_v it_o be_v seditious_a for_o a_o

god_n spirit_n upon_o the_o assumption_n but_o suffer_v it_o rather_o to_o attend_v the_o bless_a spirit_n for_o the_o plenitude_n of_o they_o and_o this_o be_v agreeable_a to_o all_o the_o

spirit_n either_o signify_v a_o real_a substance_n which_o he_o say_v before_o must_v be_v a_o body_n or_o else_o metaphorical_o signify_v some_o extraordinary_a ability_n this_o i_o mention_v to_o

in_o this_o chapter_n cite_v many_o text_n to_o prove_v that_o angel_n have_v body_n and_o dimension_n as_o those_o that_o go_v to_o lot_n into_o sodom_n and_o other_o like_a this_o i_o shall_v not_o dispute_v with_o mr._n hobbes_n though_o it_o be_v more_o probable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o world_n that_o they_o assume_v body_n upon_o those_o particular_a occasion_n by_o the_o direction_n of_o god_n almighty_n but_o then_o with_o another_o argument_n he_o think_v to_o make_v it_o sure_a that_o angel_n have_v body_n because_o hell-fire_n be_v prepare_v for_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n and_o fire_n say_v he_o can_v only_o work_v upon_o a_o body_n i_o suppose_v mr._n hobbes_n mean_v our_o fire_n can_v only_o work_v upon_o a_o body_n and_o then_o mark_v the_o strong_a consequence_n ergo_fw-la god_n can_v make_v any_o other_o sort_n of_o fire_n that_o can_v work_v upon_o something_o not_o body_n mr._n hobbes_n may_v as_o well_o have_v say_v that_o if_o we_o never_o have_v have_v any_o fire_n god_n can_v not_o have_v make_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o fire_n nay_o mr._n hobbes_n in_o this_o place_n confess_v that_o the_o evil_a angel_n shall_v not_o be_v consume_v in_o this_o fire_n and_o this_o show_v it_o be_v a_o fire_n not_o like_o we_o and_o so_o mr._n hobbes_n have_v answer_v himself_o in_o which_o faculty_n he_o be_v the_o happy_a man_n that_o i_o ever_o know_v but_o to_o come_v close_o to_o mr._n hobbes_n he_o i_o think_v will_v be_v trouble_v to_o make_v out_o that_o our_o fire_n can_v work_v upon_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v immaterial_a for_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o because_o it_o burn_v wood_n it_o will_v burn_v nothing_o that_o be_v not_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n substantial_a but_o after_o all_o what_o be_v this_o take_v it_o as_o mr._n hobbes_n will_v have_v it_o that_o angel_n have_v body_n and_o dimension_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o word_n incorporeal_a substance_n imply_v a_o contradiction_n that_o be_v in_o plain_a english_a there_o be_v no_o substance_n but_o have_v a_o body_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n though_o mr._n hobbes_n speak_v plain_a only_o concern_v angel_n have_v a_o body_n and_o consequent_o as_o mr._n hobbes_n say_v have_v dimension_n and_o consequent_o be_v finite_a and_o not_o infinite_a so_o mr._n hobbes_n may_v in_o time_n deny_v all_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n for_o before_o he_o have_v deny_v his_o knowledge_n and_o now_o his_o infinity_o by_o direct_a consequence_n but_o whether_o mr._n hobbes_n never_o think_v of_o this_o sequel_n as_o i_o have_v so_o much_o charity_n for_o he_o know_v his_o weakness_n in_o other_o place_n to_o believe_v he_o never_o do_v or_o whether_o the_o atheism_n be_v so_o gross_a that_o mr._n hobbes_n dare_v not_o speak_v out_o plain_a i_o shall_v leave_v to_o the_o reader_n to_o determine_v mr._n hobbes_n now_o come_v to_o tell_v what_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n kingdom_n of_o god_n signify_v in_o holy_a scripture_n as_o he_o call_v it_o proper_o which_o he_o define_v to_o be_v p._n 217._o god_n dominion_n over_o a_o people_n by_o special_a contract_n as_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n be_v subject_n by_o the_o special_a covenant_n make_v by_o god_n with_o abraham_n as_o in_o gen._n 17._o whereby_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n be_v oblige_v to_o

of_o god_n distinct_a kingdom_n as_o will_v appear_v by_o and_o by_o never_o distinguish_v from_o his_o general_a dominion_n before_o that_o ever_o i_o hear_v of_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o cause_n
