520 _aAmong Hobbes’ sympathizers, such as Rochester, Stillingfleet, Osborne, B.E, and several young people educated in the academic community or the Inns of Court, there circulated the ingredients necessary for the emergence of a Hobbist school of thought. However, despite their young age and charisma, they did not come to be considered the “gentlemen” who could develop Hobbes’ heritage coherently. This was the consequence of contemporary criticism and censorship. Starting with Bramhall, a kind of “self-fulfilling prophecy” was pronounced, aiming at emphasizing the imminent danger of Hobbism for social stability.
