In his own time, this man attacked Robert Boyle for his attempts to convince the priesthood in the existence of an "incorporeal substance." He chronicled the rise of Cromwell and the Papists and the dissolution of Great Britain in his book Behemoth. In another work, he argued that theologians who use the demons and angels of heathen poets are part of a "confederacy of deceivers" that populate the Kingdom of Darkness.
