  The last sayings, or, Dying legacy of Mr. Thomas Hobbs of Malmesbury who departed this life on Thursday, Decemb. 4, 1679.

summary:
  As a Man that is born blind , hearing men talk of warming themselves by the Fire , and being brought to warm himself by the same , may easily conceive there is somewhat there which men call fire , and is the cause of the heat he feels , but can have no Idea of it in his Mind , such as they have that see it : So also by the visible things of this World , and their admirable order , a man may conceive there is a cause of them which men call God , and yet not have an Idea or Image of him in his Mind . Opinion of Ghosts , Ignorance of second Causes , Devotion towards what men fear , and taking of things Casual for Prognosticks , consisteth the natural Seed of Religion ; which by reason of the different Fancies , Passions and Judgements of several men , hath grown up into Ceremonies so different , that those which are used by one man , are for the most part ridiculous to another .

summary:
  Six years i' th' Greek and Latin Tongue I spent , And at Fourteen I was to Oxford sent ; And there of Magd'len-Hall admitted , I My self to Logick first did then apply , And sedulously I my Tutor heard , Who Gravely Read , althou ' he had no Beard . Therefore more pleasant studies I then sought , Which I was formerly , tho' not well Taught .

summary:
  By these words , God has no parts , thus explained , together with the part of the Creed which was at that time agreed on , many of those Heresies which were antecedent to that first General Council , were condemned ; as that of Menes , who appeared about thirty years before the Reign of Constantine , by the first Article , I believe in one God ; though in other words it seems to me to remain still in the Doctrine of the Church of Rome , which so ascribeth a Liberty of the Will to Men , as that their Will and Purpose to commit sin , should not proceed from the Cause of all things , God ; but originally from themselves , or from the Devil . Constantine himself , at the passing of this Creed , took notice of it for a hard word ; but yet approved of it , saying , That in a divine Mystery it was fit to use divina & arcana Verba ; that is , divine words , and hidden from humane understanding ; calling that word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 divine , not because it was in the divine Scripture , ( for it is not there ) but because it was to him Arcanum , that is , not sufficiently understood .

summary:
  For that which a man before would dissemble , and not acknowledge to be done for voluptuousness , he durst now do freely , seeing before his Eyes such quick revolution , of the rich dying , and men worth nothing inheriting their Estates ; insomuch as they justified a speedy fruition of their Goods , even for their pleasure , as Men that thought they held their Lives but by the day . But I have much reason to fear the just indignation of that excellent Person , ( the present Ornament and Honour of our Nation ) whose way of writing I imitate : for he may think himself as much injured by my following him , as were the Heavens by that bold mans counterfeiting the sacred and unimitable noise of Thunder by the sound of Brass and Horses hoofs .

  Of libertie and necessitie a treatise, wherein all controversie concerning predestination, election, free-will, grace, merits, reprobation, &c. is fully decided and cleared, in answer to a treatise written by the Bishop of London-derry, on the same subject / by Thomas Hobs.

summary:
  Men are not therefore put to death , or punished for that their theft proceedeth from election , but because it was noxious and contrary to mens preservation , and the punishment conducing to the preservation of the rest , in as much as to punish those that do voluntary hurt , and none else , frameth and maketh mens wills such as men would have them . Now when I say the action was necessary , I do not say it was done against the will of the doer , but with his will , and necessarily , because mans will , that is every volition or act of the will and purpose of man had a sufficient , and therefore a necessary cause , and consequently every voluntary action was necessitated .

  Seven philosophical problems and two propositions of geometry by Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury ; with an apology for himself and his writings.

summary:
  B. Because as it descends , and is already in motion , it receiveth a new impression from the same cause , which is the Air , whereof as part mounteth , part also must descend , supposing as we have done the plenitude of the world . B. Suppose there be Vacuum in that Air into which the Marble you pull off is to succeed , shall there be no Vacuum in the Air that was round about the two Marbles when they touched ? Why cannot that Vacuum come into the place between ? Air cannot succeed in an instant , because a body ; and consequently cannot be moved through the least space in an instant .

  Stigmai ageōmetrias, agroichias, antipoliteas, amatheias, or, Markes of the absurd geometry, rural language, Scottish church-politicks, and barbarismes of John Wallis professor of geometry and doctor of divinity by Thomas Hobbes.

summary:
  You take e●ceptions at that I say , that Eucilde has but one word for double and duplicate ; which neverthelesse was said very truely , and that word is sometimes {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} and sometimes {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} ▪ And you think you come of handsomly with asking me whether {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} and {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} be one word . Nor are you now of the minde you were , that a point is not quantity unconsidered ; but that in an infinite series it may be safely neglected . Di●ferre ( {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} ) differing , exceeding , is not quantity , but relation .

  Humane nature, or, The fundamental elements of policy being a discovery of the faculties, acts, and passions of the soul of man from their original causes, according to such philosophical principles as are not commonly known or asserted / by Tho. Hobbs.

summary:
  1. HAving spoken of the Powers and Acts of the Mind , both cognitive and motive , considered in every Man by himself , without Relation to other● ; it will fall fitly into this Chapter , to speak of the Effects of the same Power one upon another ; which Effects are also the Signs , by which one taketh notice what another conceiveth and intendeth . For the understanding of what I mean by the Power Cognitive , we must remember and acknowledge that there be in our Minds continually certain Images or Conceptions of the Things without us , insomuch that if a Man could be alive , and all the rest of the World annihilated , he should nevertheless retain the Image thereof ; and all those Things which he had before seen or perceived in it ; every one by his own Experience knowing , that the Absence or Destruction of things once imagined doth not cause the Absence or Destruction of the Imagination it self ; This Imagery and Representations of the Qualities of the Thing without , is that we call our Conception , Imagination , Ideas , Notice or Knowledg of them ; and the Faculty or Power by which we are capable of such Knowledge , is that I here call Cognitive Power , or Conceptive , the Power of Knowing or Conceiving .

  Decameron physiologicum, or, Ten dialogues of natural philosophy by Thomas Hobbes ... ; to which is added The proportion of a straight line to half the arc of a quadrant, by the same author.

summary:
  But I grant , that in a space filled every where with Body , though never so Fluid , if you give Motion to any part thereof , that Motion will by resistance of the parts moved , grow less and less , and at last cease ; but if you suppose the space utterly void , and nothing in it , then whatsoever is once moved shall go on eternally : Or else that which you have granted is not true , viz. For Bodies that are but Contiguous , with any little force are parted ; but by this compounded Motion ( because every point of the body makes an equal Line in equal time , and every Line crosses all the rest ) one part cannot be separated from another , without disturbing the Motion of all the other parts at once .

  De corpore politico, or, The elements of law, moral and politick with discourses upon severall heads, as of [brace] the law of nature, oathes and covenants, several kinds of government : with the changes and revolutions of them / by Tho. Hobbs of Malmsbury.

summary:
  Why therefore may not men that foresee the Benefit of Concord , continually maintain the same without compulsion , as well as they ? To which I answer , That amongst other living Creatures , there is no Question of Precedence in their owne Species , nor strife about Honour , or acknowledgement of one anothers wisdome , as there is amongst Men , from whence arise Envie and Hatred of one towards another , and from thence Sedition and War . And the difficulty is this ; We have amongst us the Word of God for the Rule of our Actions : Now if wee shall subiect our selves to men also , obliging our selves to do such Actions , as shall be by them commanded , when the Commands of God and Man shall differ , we are to obey God , rather then man ; And consequently , the Covenant of general Obedience to man is unlaw●ull .

  King , they thought was but a Title of the highest honour , which Gentlemen , Knight , Baron , Earl , Luke were but steps to ascend to with the help of Riches , and had no Rule of Equity , but Precedents and Custom , and he was thought wisest and fittest to be chosen for a Parliament , who was most averse to the granting of Subsidies , or other publick Payments . B. After the Pacification broken what succeeded next ? A. The King sent Duke Hamilton with Commission and Instructions into Scotland to call a Parliament there , ( but all was to no purpose ) and to use all the means he could otherwise , but the Scots were resolved to raise an Army , and to enter into England , to deliver ( as they pretended ) their grievances to his Majesty in a Petition because the King ( they said ) being in the hands of evil Councellors , they could not otherwise obtain their right ; but the truth is , they were otherwise animated to it by the Democratical , and Presbyterian English , with a promise of Reward , and hope of Plunder : some have said that Duke Hamilton also did rather encourage them to , than deterr them from the Expedition ; as hoping by h● disorder of the two Kingdoms to bring to pass that which he had formerly been accused to endeavour to make himself King of Scotland ; but I take this to have been a very uncharitable Censure upon so little ground to judge so hardly of a man , that afterwards lost his life in seeking to procure the liberty of the King his Master .

summary:
  He is upbraided by some ( who perhaps are affected Antiquaries , and make priority of time the measure of excellence ) for gaining his renown by the imitation of Hom●r : Whilest others ( no less bold with that ancient Guide ) say , He hath so often led him into Heaven and Hell , till by conversation with Gods and Ghosts , he sometimes deprives us of those natural probabilities in Story , which are instructive to humane life : And others affirm ( if it be not irreverence to record their opinion ) That even in Wit , he seems deficient by many omissions ; as if he had design'd a penance of gravity to himself and to posterity : And by their observing that continued gravity , me thinks they look upon him , as on a Musitian composing of Anthems ; whose excellence consists more in the solemness , than in the fancy ; and upon the body of his Work , as on the body of a Giant , whose force hath more of strength , than quickness , and of patience than activity . I have been thus hardy to call him to account for the choice of his Argument , not meerly as it was Story , but because the actions he recorded were so eminent , and so near his time , that he could not assist Truth with such ornaments as Poets , for usefull pleasure , have allowed her , le●t the ●ained complection might render the true suspected .
