Though revived in Prot- estant form with but slight variations (see p. 405), scholasti- cism has been mentioned only with execration and derision by almost every writer, except those of Roman Catholic sympa- thies, during all the subsequent centuries, until the nineteenth, at least. This was especially true of the sixteenth and seven- teenth century philosophers, who found it necessary to over- throw the methods of scholasticism before progress could be made. Hobbes held that " those who wrote ...volumes of such stuff were mad, and tended to make others so ; " that " the common sort of men seldom speak insignificantly and are, therefore, by those other egregious people [the Schoolmen] counted idiots. " Bacon declared: "This kind of degenerate learning did chiefly reign amongst the Schoolmen : who having sharp and strong wits, and abun- dance of leisure, and small variety of reading, but their wits being shut up in the cells of a few authors (chiefly Aristotle their dictator) as their persons were shut up in the cells of monasteries and colleges, and knowing little history, either of nature or time, did out of no great quantity of matter and in- finite agitation of wit spin out unto us those laborious webs of learning which are extant in their books.
