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 interpreter_n of_o those_o text_n that_o ever_o i_o see_v except_o mr._n hobbes_n his_o leviathan_n and_o mr._n hobbes_n say_v further_a that_o in_o these_o last_o mention_v text_n the_o word_n 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 show_v that_o take_v mr._n hobbes_n together_o he_o call_v god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n a_o body_n though_o hereafter_o p._n 268._o he_o deny_v he_o any_o real_a existence_n at_o all_o mr._n hobbes_n 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 obey_v god_n positive_a law_n as_o by_o a_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n for_o to_o the_o moral_a law_n they_o be_v oblige_v before_o this_o i_o suppose_v mr._n hobbes_n intend_v for_o a_o foundation_n 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 to_o distinguish_v it_o now_o as_o he_o do_v by_o necessary_a supposition_n or_o else_o all_o he_o say_v signify_v nothing_o but_o methinks_v this_o be_v too_o slender_a a_o foundation_n for_o such_o a_o work_n and_o the_o supposition_n that_o be_v that_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n be_v not_o oblige_v to_o obey_v god_n positive_a law_n before_o that_o special_a covenant_n be_v false_a for_o without_o doubt_n god_n dominion_n over_o the_o earth_n as_o he_o be_v style_v lord_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n frequent_o in_o scripture_n put_v a_o duty_n not_o only_o upon_o all_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n but_o all_o the_o seed_n of_o adam_n to_o obey_v his_o positive_a law_n as_o well_o as_o the_o moral_a law_n in_o case_n that_o positive_a law_n be_v appropriate_v to_o they_o either_o in_o general_n or_o to_o any_o of_o they_o in_o particular_a as_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v appropriate_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o there_o need_v no_o special_a contract_n to_o oblige_v any_o sort_n of_o man_n to_o obey_v whatever_o god_n command_v for_o he_o be_v lord_n and_o creator_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o disposer_n and_o orderer_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o it_o and_o have_v a_o right_a to_o do_v so_o which_o mr._n hobbes_n acknowledge_v p._n 187._o and_o say_v it_o be_v natural_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o power_n that_o god_n reign_v and_o punish_v the_o breach_n of_o his_o law_n and_o this_o mr._n hobbes_n say_v without_o any_o limitation_n so_o before_o i_o give_v a_o further_a answer_n in_o this_o mr._n hobbes_n must_v be_v reconcile_v to_o himself_o but_o mr._n hobbes_n go_v on_o in_o this_o his_o fabric_n and_o after_o several_a text_n cite_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v god_n peculiar_a people_n bold_o conclude_v p._n 218._o that_o by_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v proper_o mean_v a_o commonwealth_n institute_v by_o consent_n of_o those_o that_o be_v to_o be_v subject_a thereto_o for_o their_o civil_a government_n which_o proper_o be_v a_o kingdom_n wherein_o god_n be_v king_n and_o the_o high_a priest_n his_o viceroy_n and_o for_o this_o thanks_o to_o his_o grace_n he_o vouchsafe_v a_o reason_n which_o he_o never_o do_v that_o i_o remember_v before_o for_o any_o of_o his_o crotchet_n which_o be_v that_o the_o jew_n in_o scripture_n be_v call_v a_o holy_a nation_n now_o holy_a say_v mr._n hobbes_n signify_v that_o which_o be_v god_n by_o special_a not_o general_a right_n put_v this_o into_o a_o syllogism_n and_o let_v we_o see_v how_o natural_a the_o consequence_n will_v be_v by_o a_o holy_a nation_n in_o scripture_n be_v mean_v a_o peculiar_a nation_n to_o god_n but_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o holy_a nation_n ergo_fw-la by_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v proper_o mean_v a_o commonwealth_n if_o mr._n hobbes_n have_v make_v this_o syllogism_n any_o one_o will_v swear_v that_o mr._n hobbes_n although_o he_o rail_v against_o aristotle_n have_v never_o read_v he_o or_o else_o not_o understand_v he_o and_o it_o be_v not_o less_o absurd_a out_o of_o a_o syllogism_n than_o it_o be_v in_a for_o what_o have_v a_o holy_a nation_n which_o be_v god_n people_n because_o they_o serve_v he_o in_o the_o way_n of_o piety_n which_o respect_v main_o their_o future_a state_n to_o do_v with_o a_o commonwealth_n and_o god_n be_v monarch_n upon_o earth_n which_o he_o have_v leave_v in_o the_o creation_n to_o the_o government_n of_o man_n but_o mr._n hobbes_n p._n 218._o cite_v divers_a text_n of_o scripture_n to_o confirm_v his_o position_n of_o which_o text_n i_o shall_v only_o answer_v two_o which_o seem_v to_o bear_v most_o in_o his_o advantage_n and_o the_o first_o be_v 1_o sam._n 12._o 12._o where_o it_o be_v say_v upon_o the_o israelite_n desire_v a_o king_n that_o god_n be_v their_o king_n hence_o mr._n hobbes_n collect_v that_o god_n be_v their_o king_n and_o govern_v the_o civil_a state_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o that_o the_o high_a priest_n be_v his_o viceroy_n i_o shall_v agree_v with_o mr._n hobbes_n that_o god_n so_o far_o govern_v the_o state_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n as_o to_o appoint_v who_o shall_v govern_v it_o but_o it_o be_v most_o apparent_a that_o he_o no_o otherwise_o govern_v it_o than_o by_o appoint_v who_o shall_v govern_v as_o
