the_o true_a effigy_n of_o the_o monster_n of_o malmesbury_n or_o thomas_n hobbes_n in_o his_o proper_a colour_n london_n print_v in_o the_o year_n 1680._o to_o the_o reader_n i_o desire_v thou_o shall_v understand_v that_o the_o author_n of_o the_o follow_a verse_n against_o mr._n hobbes_n about_o twenty_o year_n since_o conceive_v that_o indignation_n against_o he_o and_o that_o hatred_n of_o his_o illogical_a and_o atheistical_a genius_n which_o he_o have_v here_o express_v and_o that_o he_o aver_v that_o it_o be_v both_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o darkness_n of_o this_o man_n heart_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o increase_n of_o it_o that_o he_o hold_v that_o there_o can_v be_v a_o idea_n of_o a_o infinite_a be_v i_o can_v think_v of_o any_o other_o of_o his_o wicked_a conceit_n but_o what_o have_v be_v abundant_o confute_v by_o one_o or_o other_o of_o his_o learned_a adversary_n but_o i_o have_v not_o observe_v that_o this_o have_v be_v take_v notice_n of_o by_o any_o one_o except_o des_fw-mi cartes_n wherefore_o i_o shall_v desire_v the_o ingenious_a reader_n to_o bestow_v his_o utmost_a intention_n on_o these_o word_n which_o the_o author_n of_o these_o verse_n deliver_v in_o a_o discourse_n to_o a_o great_a auditory_a about_o seven_o year_n since_o but_o my_o hard_a task_n be_v yet_o behind_o viz._n to_o prove_v as_o to_o a_o stubborn_a atheist_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god._n many_o man_n declare_v that_o they_o have_v in_o their_o mind_n the_o idea_n or_o notion_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o a_o be_v absolute_o infinite_a i_o say_v many_o man_n declare_v that_o they_o have_v the_o idea_n of_o this_o be_v therefore_o certain_o there_o be_v such_o a_o be_v how_o may_v some_o say_v this_o be_v a_o fine_a argument_n indeed_o it_o be_v so_o because_o many_o man_n think_v it_o be_v so_o why_o may_v not_o that_o which_o you_o call_v a_o idea_n of_o god_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o mere_a conceit_n or_o figment_n of_o the_o mind_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v that_o we_o undertake_v to_o demonstrate_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o mere_a conceit_n etc._n etc._n which_o we_o apprehend_v under_o these_o term_n a_o be_v absolute_o infinite_a if_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a conceit_n a_o ens_fw-la rationis_fw-la or_o empty_a notion_n than_o this_o proposition_n will_v be_v true_a some_o mere_a conceit_n or_o figment_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v that_o which_o the_o mind_n may_v apprehend_v under_o these_o term_n a_o be_v etc._n etc._n but_o that_o we_o prove_v to_o be_v false_a thus_o that_o which_o be_v possible_a for_o the_o mind_n to_o comprehend_v and_o to_o know_v for_o certain_a that_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o what_o it_o work_v or_o frame_v to_o itself_o be_v not_o that_o which_o the_o mind_n may_v apprehend_v under_o these_o term_n a_o be_v absolute_o infinite_a every_o mere_a conceit_n ens_fw-la rationis_fw-la or_o figment_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v that_o which_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o the_o mind_n to_o comprehend_v etc._n etc._n therefore_o no_o mere_a conceit_n etc._n etc._n be_v that_o which_o the_o mind_n may_v apprehend_v under_o these_o term_n a_o be_v absolute_o infinite_a by_o these_o word_n it_o be_v possible_a for_o the_o mind_n to_o comprehend_v i_o mean_v as_o to_o the_o utmost_a extent_n of_o its_o natural_a capacity_n not_o but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v impossible_a for_o the_o mind_n by_o reason_n of_o some_o accidental_a defect_n to_o comprehend_v its_o own_o operation_n absolute_o infinite_a plain_o imply_v all_o excellency_n and_o perfection_n that_o we_o can_v understand_v and_o that_o which_o infinite_o transcend_v our_o understanding_n we_o know_v nothing_o more_o certain_o than_o this_o that_o our_o holy_a one_o be_v incomprehensible_a

of_o god_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o all_o man_n and_o by_o this_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o it_o be_v very_o indiscreet_a not_o to_o say_v wicked_a for_o any_o christian_n to_o slight_v this_o
