From whence it follows unavoidably, that for any one to teach, and to teach in publick, (not publickly from the Pulpit, but much more publickly from the Press, ) that an Incorporeal Substance is in it self a Contradiction, (the Positive Doctrine of the Leviathan, ) is publickly to open a School of Atheism: It being publickly to teach There is no Spirit, and (by a Consequence unavoidable) There is no God. For every thing that is, is either an Accident, or a Substance. (What is neither, is not. ) And every Substance (a nobler sort of Being then any Accident can be ) is either Corporeal, or Incorporeal. That denominates a Body, and This a Spirit. To say that God is the former, implies the horridest Contradiction ; (as hath been shewn;) and so He must be the latter, by undeniable Consecution. |
