![Of the Kingdom of Darkness . . . | Part IV. Of the Kingdom of Darkness
Chap. xlvii. Of the Benefit that proceedeth from such Darkness, and to Whom it Accrueth; [21] . . . For, from the time that the Bishop of Rome had gotten to be acknowledged for bishop universal, by pretence of succession to St. Peter, their whole hierarchy, or kingdom of darkness, may be compared not unfitly to the kingdom of fairies; that is, to the old wives' fables in England concerning ghosts and spirits, and the feats they play in the night. And if a man consider the original of this great ecclesiastical dominion, he will easily perceive that the papacy is no other than the ghost of the deceased Roman Empire, sitting crowned upon the grave thereof: for so did the papacy start up on a sudden out of the ruins of that heathen power.

Chap. xlvii. Of the Benefit that proceedeth from such Darkness, and to Whom it Accrueth; [26] The fairies are not to be seized on, and brought to answer for the hurt they do. So also the ecclesiastics vanish away from the tribunals of civil justice. [30] The fairies marry not; but there be amongst them incubi that have copulation with flesh and blood. The priests also marry not. HOBBES, THOMAS. LEVIATHAN: WITH SELECTED VARIANTS FROM THE LATIN EDITION OF 1668. ED. EDWIN CURLEY.

Chap. xlvii. Of the Benefit that proceedeth from such Darkness, and to Whom it Accrueth; [23] The fairies in what nation soever they converse have but one universal king, which some poets of ours call King Oberon; but the Scripture calls Beelzebub, prince of demons. The ecclesiastics likewise, in whose dominions soever they be found, acknowledge but one universal king, the Pope. Hobbes, Thomas. Leviathan: with selected variants from the Latin edition of 1668.

Chap. xlvii. Of the Benefit that proceedeth from such Darkness, and to Whom it Accrueth; [29] When the fairies are displeased with anybody, they are said to send their elves to pinch them. The ecclesiastics, when they are displeased with any civil state, make also their elves, that is, superstitious, enchanted subjects, to pinch their princes, by preaching sedition; or one prince, enchanted with promises, to pinch another.
