'For the person or persons that hold dominion, can no more combine with the keeping up of majesty the running with harlots drunk or naked about the streets, or the performances of a stage player, or the open violation or contempt of laws passed by themselves than they can combine existence with non-existence'.

- Benedict de Spinoza. Political Treatise. 1677.

‘I have compelling grounds for my certitude.’ –

‘These grounds make the certitude objective’

these statements are blatant – unabashed exercises –

in rhetoric
