A decad of caveats to the people of England of general use in all times, but most seasonable in these, as having a tendency to the satisfying such as are not content with the present government as it is by law establish'd, an aptitude to the setling the minds of such as are but seekers and erraticks in religion an aim at the uniting of our Protestant-dissenters in church and state : whereby the worst of all conspiracies lately rais'd against both, may be the greatest blessing, which could have happen'd to either of them : to which is added an appendix in order to the conviction of those three enemies to the deity, the atheist, the infidel and the setter up of science to the prejudice of religion / by Thomas Pierce ...

In-Text And for any one to Teach, (as the Monster of Malmesbury has been permitted to doe in Print,) that there is no Spirit at all, or that there is no incorporeal Substance, (two Expressions of the same Thing,) what is it but to pluck up all Religion by the Root? 'Tis publickly to set up a School of Atheism. For God (if any thing) is a Spirit; not for This reason onely, because our Apostle S. John affirms it, (whom the Hobbists will not believe;) but for this other reason also, (which even our Hobbists cannot but yield to,) that, supposing a God there is, (or that 'tis but possible for him to be,) He must be Infinite, and Indivisible; and yet, we know, He can be neither, if He is any way Corporeal. For All Corporeal things have Parts, and so by consequence are divisible, and so by consequence are finite. And for God to be finite, or divisible, is for God not to be God; And for any one to Teach, (as the Monster of Malmesbury has been permitted to do in Print,) that there is no Spirit At all, or that there is no incorporeal Substance, (two Expressions of the same Thing,) what is it but to pluck up all Religion by the Root?
