A43990	Hobbes, Thomas, 1588-1679.	An historical narration concerning heresie and the punishment thereof by Thomas Hobbes.	1680		.xml	application/xml	6762	192	57	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 .
