How grateful this Discourse of yours will be to the Quicunque Men, I shall not pre∣sume to determine, since I am sure Mr. Hobbs is as much above their Anger, as they are below his Resentments.

ANSWER.

With what Contempt doth He here treat the Ecclesiasticks of the Church of England? These are the Quicunque Men that here meant.

As to His Opinion of them, in this His odious Comparison between Mr. Hobbs (whom He so much honours, as p. 16. to call Him the great Modern Philosopher of this Nation) and them; I need say no more than this, — That the most partial Reader must be convinced, that no Man can, or hath been more plainly refuted, than Mr. Hobbs hath been by our Quicunque Men: to omit others, our most Reverend Archbishop's Book, call'd Hobbs His Creed, and Dr. Templer's Idea of the Theology of the Leviathan, are De∣monstrations.
