But if the hands be lifted up as high as can be, above the head, then the elbow will be equal to the crown of the head, and if hen the feet being put together,a man stand thus, he may be ut into an <quilaterall square brought by the extremities of the hands and feet : the center of this square is the navel, which is the middle betwixt the top of the head and the knees.

Now let us proceed to particular measures. The compass of} man under the armpits contains the middle of his length, whose middle is the bottom of his breast : and from thence up. ward to the middle of his breast betwixt both dugges,and from the middle ofhis breast unto the crawn of his head, on every fide the fourth part ; also trom the bottom of his breast to the bottom of the knees, and from thence to the bottom of the ankles the fourth part of man. The fame is the Jatirude of his (houlder-blades from one extream to the other : The (ame is the length from the elbow to the end of the longest tinger, and therefore this is called a cubit. Hence four cubics make the length of man, and one cubir the bredth which is in the shoulder- blades, bur that which is inthe compals, one foot; now six hand-bredths make a cubit, four a foot, and four hn. ers bredths make a hand-bredth, and the whole length'of ma is of twenty four hand bredths, of {1x foot, of ninty fx finger bredths.

The compals of the head bythe middle of the forchead hath three parts; the compass ofthe irdling place hath four parts in a well set man, but in athi ody three parts and a half,or as much as is from the top ofthe breast to the bottom of the belly. The compass of the breast by the arm-pitto the back hath five parts,viz. as much as half th whole length.

The greater joynt of the thumbi; as much as the widness of the mouth , and as the distance hetwixt the bottom of the chin, and the top of the lower lip, but the lesser joynt is as much as the distance berwixt ther, of the lower and the end of the nose ; the nailes are halfy much as those joynts which they call the naile joynts.

Th distance betwixt the middle of the eye brows to the outwal corners of the eyes is as much as berwixt rhose corners and th ears. The hight of the forchead, the length of the nose, al the widress of the mouth are equall. Allo the bredth of t& hand, and foot are the same, The distance berwixt the loye part of the ankle co the top of the foot is the same as that ewixt the top of the foot and the end of the nailes, Th distance from the top of the forchead to the place betwixt tk eyes, and from that to the end of the nose, and from thencet the end of the chin is the same. The eye-brows joyned topt ther are as much as the circle of the eyes, and the half circle the ears equals the widness of the mouch : Whence the circk of the eyes, ears, and mouth opened are equalf. The bred of che nole is as much as the length of theeye ; Hence ti eyes haye two parts of that space which is betwixt bothexrr mities of the eyes ; a third part the nose that is betwixt tak up.

Moreover these measures are through manifold proportions, and harmist niacall consents consonant oneto the other ; for the thumd

The latitude of them to the latitude of the thigh, is half fo much again ; of the head co the neck triple, of the head co the knee triple,: the same to the leg. The length of the forehead berwixt the temples is fourfold to the height thereof ; These are those measures which are everywhere found ; by

which the members of mans body according to the length, - bredth, height , and circumference thereof agree amongst themselves, and also with the Celestials themselves : all which measures are divided by manifold proportions either npon them that divide,or are mixed, from whence there results a manifold Harmony. For a double proportion makes thrice a Diapason ; four times double, twice a Diapason, and Diapente. fer the same manner are Elements, qualities, complexions, e thsWand humors proportioned. For these weights of humors and complexions are astigned to a sound and well composed man, Wviz.che cight weights of blood, of flegm four, of choler ewo,of melancholy one , that on both sides there ibe by order 2 double proportion ; but of the first co the third , and of the xond to the fourth, a four times double proportion ; bur of the firft to the last an eighrfold.

And this saith Pliny was the herefie of the Egyprian The motions also of the members of mens bodies ansye to the Celestial motions, and every man hath in himself ch: motion of his heart, which antwers to the motion of the Wn and being diffused through the Arteries into, the whole body, Ggnifics to us by a molt lure rule, years, moneths, dayes,houn and minutes, Moreover, there is 3 certain Nerve found by th Anatomists about the nod of the neck, which being touche( doth so move all the members of the body, that every one them move according to its proper motion ; by. which lik couch Aristotle thinks q = members of che world are more( by God: And there are two veines'in the neck, which bei held hard presently the mans strength failes, and his sensesar taken away untill they be loosened. Therefore the eternd Maker of the world when he was co pur the foul into ti body, as into its habitation, first made a fit lodging worthy receive it, and endows the most excellent foul with a mip beautiful body, which then the soul knowing its own divinin,o frames and adorns for its own habitation. Hence the peopk of e/£thiopia, which were governed by the wisdofn of Gym sophists, as Aristotle wicnefleth, did make them Kings, not those which were molt Rrong, and wealthy, but those one which were most proper and beautiful ;

for they conceivtl that the gallantry of the minde did depend upon the excellewiÞ cie of the body. Which many Philosophers, as well ancient if m oderne,confidering, such as searched into the secrets of ca ses hid in the very Majesty of Naruce, were bold to affert, thit there was no fault of, and no dilproportion in the body,whic the vice and intemperance of the minde did not follow, be cause it is certain chat they do increale, thrive, and operate the help one of the other.

Book I I. Of Occult Philosopty. CHAP. XXVIII. Of the (omposition and Harmony of the hunane soul. A® the Consonancy of the body consists of a due measure and proportion of the members : so the consonancy of he minde of a due temperament, and proportion of its vers and operations which are concupiscible, irascible, and son , which are so proportioned together. For Reason ro dncupiscence hath the proportion Diapason; but to ger .Diatessaron : and Irascible ro Concupiscible hath he proportion Dzapexte. When therefore the belt proporjonated soul is joyned to the belt proportionated body, it is nanifest that such a man also hath received a most happy lot the distribution of gifts, for as much as the soul agrees with te body in the disposition of Naturals, which agreement inled is most hid,yet after some maner shadowed to us by the ise, But to basten to the Harmony of the soul, we mult inuice into it by those Medinms by which it passechto us,(s.e.) -opeiW@y Celestial Bodics,and Sphears; Knowing therefore what are- | on of the soul to which the Planets answer, we (hal by hosethings which have been spoken of before, the more ealily ww their agreements amongst themselves. For the Asoone

) veloverns the powers of increasing and decreasing; the Phantasie d Wics depends on Mercury ; the Concupiscible vertue on ne offers ; the Vicall on the Swn; the Irafcible on Mars; the Na- ral 0n Jpiter: the Receptive on Satary : but the Will as the rimwms Mobile, and the guide of all these Powers at pleasure, dfficing joyned with che superior intelleR, is always tendW's to good; which intellect indeed doth alwayes shew a pathay to the Will, as a Candle to the eye ; but it moves not it If, but is the Mistriss of her own operation, whence it is cal- ( Free Will; and although it alwayes tends to good, as an jeR sutable to it self yer sometimes being blinded with or, the animal power forcing it, it chooseth evil, believing it be good. Therefore Will is defined to be a faculcy of che in- : is, rellea, Of Occult Philosophy. Book 11. telleR, & Will wherby good is chosen by the help of Grace;and Evil,that not afsisting.Grace therefore,which Divines call Cha. rity, or infused Love is in the Will, as a first mover ; which be. ing abserit, the Whole consent falls into Dissonancy. More. over, the soul answers to the Earth by Sense, ro the Waterby Imagination, to the Air by Reason, to the Heaven by the IntelleA, and the foul goes out into an Harmony of them, according as these are tempered in a mortall body.

The wik Ancients therefore knowing that the Harmonious dispolitions of bodies and souls are divers, according to the divertliyd the complexions of men, did not in vain use Musical sounds and singings,zs to contirm the health of the body,and restore being lost, so co bring the minde to wholsome manners, untill they make a man surable to the Celestial Harmony, and mak him wholly Celestial. Moreover, there is nothing more cthcy cidus to drive away evil spirits then Musicall Harmopy (for they being faln from that Cele!tial Harmony, cannot endurt any true conscnt, as being an c::.my-to them, bur fly from it) as David by his Harp appcased $az1, being troubled with u evil spirit.

Book IT, Of Occult Philosophy. CHAP, XXXII. Of the Sun, and Moon, and their Magicall considerations. He Sun, and Moon have obtained the administration or ruling of the Heavens, and all bodies under the heavens. The Sun is the Lord of all Elementary vertues; and the Moon by vertue of the Sun is the mistress of generation, increase, or decrease. Hence Albumasar saith, that by the Sun and Moon life is infused into all things, which therefore Orphens cals the enlivening eyes of the heaven.. The Sun giveth lighttoall things of ic self, and give; it plentifully ro all things not only in the Heaven, Aire,bur Earth and Deep: whatsoever good we have,as Famblicus (aith, we have it from the Sun alone, or from it through other things. Heraclitzs cals the Sun the fountain of Celestiall light; and many of the Platonifts placed the soul of the world chiefly in the Sun, as that which filling the whole Globe of the Sur: doth send forth its rayes on all sides 25 it were a spirit throvgh all things, distributing life, sense and motion to the very Universe. Hence the ancient Narturalists called the Sun the very heart of heaven ; and the Caldears put itasthe middle of the Planets. The Egyptians also placed itin the middle of the world, viz. betwixc the two fives of the world, e.s. above the Sun they place five Planets, and under the Sun,the Moon and four Elements.

For itis amonglt the other Sears the image and statue of the great Prince ot both worlds,viz, Terreltiall, and Celestial); the true light, and the molt exa&t image of God himself; whose Essence resembles the Father, Light the Son, Heart che Holy Ghost. So-thar the Platonists have nothing to hold forth the Divine Effence more manifestly by, then this. So great is- the confenancy of ic to God , that Plato cals it the conspicuous 5on of God;and 1amblicws cals it the divine image of divine intelligence. And our Diony sis cals it the perspicuous statue of God. Ir fits as king in the middle of other Planers, excelling-all in light, greatness, fairness, enlightning 31), distribucing vertue co them to dispoie inferior bodics, and regulating and disposing of their morions, lo

but the Moon, the nighest co the Earth, the receptacle of all the heavenly Influences, by the swiftness of her course is joyned to the Sun, and the other Planets and Stars, every month, and being madey it were the wife of all the Stars,is the most fruicful of the Stars, and receiving the beams and influences of all the other planets and Stars as a conception, bringing them forth to the inferior world as being next co it sel! ; for all the Stars have influence on it being the last receiver, which afterwards communicateth the influences of all the superiors to these inferiors, and pours them forth 'on the Earth; and ic more manifestly dispoterh these inferiors, then the others, and its motion is more lenly ble by the familiarity and” propinquity which it hath with us; and as a medium betwixt both, tuperiors and inferiors, communicateth them to them all; Therefore her motion is to be

VV- have spoken. in the foregoing Chapters of the divers kindes of Divinations : But this is to be noted that all chese require the use and rules of Astrology, as a key most necefsary for the knowledge of all secrets ; and that all kinds of Divinations whatsoever have their root and foundation in Astrologie so, as that without it they are of little or no use; yet Astrological Divination,in a5 much as the Celeltials are causes and signs of all those things which are, and are done SY in © "Of Occult Philosophy. | Book [1 in these inferiors, doth give most certain demonstations by the situation, and motion onely of-Celestial bodies, of those thingy which are occult or future ; of which we shall in this place speak no further, since of this Science huge Volums have bee Ml; wrote by the Ancicnts, and are everywhere extant. Therefore fr uv hetherihePhysiognomilts lookupon the body,or countenance F or forehead, or hand,or the Soothsayer,searcheth by dre.mso M® Auspicia, that the judgment may be right, the figure of heaven" is also to be enquired into. From the judgements wheredf together with conjeRures of (1militudes and f1gns, are prody ced true opinions of the (ignificators. Also 1f any prodige shall appear , the'Figure of the heaven isrobe erected ; all such things are to be enquired after, which have gone beforein the revolutions of years from great conjunRions, and Eclipse then also the Nativities, beginnings, intronizations, foundat ons, and revolutions, perfeRions, direRions; of Princes, Nat. ons, Kingdoms, Cities, when these shall appear, and up what place of the Celestial figure these fell ; that by all the at length we may come to a rational and probable signific tion of these things. After the fame manner, but with lels

bour, we must proceed in the Exposition of dreams. Moret ver, they that being distempered foretell future things, dot not bur as they are instigated by the stars, or inferior inst ments of these, whence their Preditions must at lengthk imputed to the Celestials, as we read in Lacan the old Prophet T uscus, The Light 'nings motion, and the veines Which arc Fibrous, and Warm, and motion of a f air fs Plume Wanaring i th aire, being taught After the City was viewed, the Sacrifice slain, the inspeRi into the intrals did ar length by the dispositions of che Cele stial stars pronounce judgement, Also Geomancy it self most accurate of Divinations, which divines by points of i | earth, or any other supertices, or by a fall, or any other powe 7 inscribed, doth first reduce them to Celestial figures, viz. *** . tho those sixteen which we above named, making judgement after an Astrological manner, by the properties and observations thereof : and hither are referred all natural Divinations by lots whatsoever,the power whereof can be from no where else then from the heaven,and from the minde of them that work them. For whatsoever is moved,caused or produced in these inferiors, must of necessicy imitate the motions,and influences of thesuperjours, to which, asto its roots, causes, and (igns it is reduced, the judgement whereof is shewed by Astrological Rules. Hence Dice, Tetracedron, Exacedron, Octocedron, Doderaedron, Icocedron being made by certain Numbers, Signs, and Stars at opportune times,under the influencies of the Celestials, and being inscribed, obtain a worderful vertue of Divining, / and foretelling by their castings, such as those Dice Prexeste ad, in which we read the Destinies of the” Romans were gonzined,

}f Lottery, When, and whence the vertwe of Divining is incident Hatsoever Divinations and PrediAions of humane events are made by Lottery, must of necessity, besides ie lot, have some sublime occule cause; which indeed shall not acause by accident, such as Aristotle describes Fortune to e For in the series of Causes, seeing according to the Platoifs,a cause by accident can never be the prime and sufficient ause, we mast look higher, and finde ont a cause which may now and intend the effet, Now this we must not place in . Morporcal Nature, but in immaterial, and incorporeal sub- - | {Wnces which indeed administer the Lot, and dispence the figcation of the truth, as in mens souls, or separated spirits, or | Celestial Intelligences, or in God himself. Now that Were is in mans soul a sufficient power and vertue to _ FicR suck kinde of lots, it is hence manifelt, because there is ho Y 3 in Of Occult Philosophy. Book 11. in our soul a divine vertue, and fimilitude, and apprehension, and power ofall things; Andas we faid inthe first Book, Al things have a natural obedience to it, and of necessity haye motion and efficacy to that which the .soul desires with 1 strong desire ; and 3ll the vertues and operations of naturi] and artifical things, obey ir when it is carried forth into the excels of desire, and then all Lots of what kinde soever are a{- :

fisting to the appetite of such a minde, and acquire to them. i selves wonderful vertues of passages, as from thar, so from the M ; Cekcstial opportunity in that hour in which the excess of such WM; a like appetite doth most of all exceed in it, And this istha WM k ground and foundation of all Astrological Questions, wheie. MW i; fore the minde being elevated into the excels of any desire, i 6 raketh of it self an hour afid opportunity most convenient anl I ,; efficacious, on which the Figure of the heaven being made, th pe Astrologer may then judge irrit, and plainly know concerning WM) that which any one defires, and is inquisitive to know, bat M1, now because Lots are not direted alwayes by mans mind: Wn: bur also, as we said beforc, by the help of other Spirits ; norsM:, the minde of a Prophet alwayes disposed to that excess of pie; Gon as we spoke of , hence amongst the Ancients, it was a C stome to premise before the casting of the Lot, some fact performances, in which they called upon divine Intelligencis and spirits for to dire the Lot aright. Whatsoever kinde presage therefore these kinde of Lots portend, must of necth - fity not be by chance or fortune, but from a spiritual cause, by vertue whereof the Phantalie, or hand of him that cast tht Lot is moved, whether that power proceed from the soul « the Operator through the great excess of his affeMon, or fron a Celestial influence, and opportunity, or from a certain Die or spirit assisting, or moving from on high, whether thel Lots are vlaned in casting of Cockalls,or throwing Dice, or in the meeting of Verses, such as were formerly tt pl Lot of Homer and Virgil, of which we read in </Erlius Of; Sparta, Hadrianus long (ince made enquiry, and which wt read brftell Trajau the Emperour.

Also amongst Hebrews, and even amongst us Christians(someDivines not disapproving of it)Lots are taken out of Verses of Psalms. There are also more,& other kindes of Lots, asare humane Lots, which had no Divination n them amongst the Ancients, and are observed by ns in chooling of Magistrates, to prevent envy, of which.alfo Cicero 2painst Verres makes mention: bur they are nor. of our pur- se : But chose which are divine, and ved Lots, respeRing Oracles, and-Religion, of which we shall discourse in'the following Book : Onely thus far I would advise you, that hovv much presaging, divining or Southsaying soever Lots are found to have, they have them not as they are Lots,but by reason of a rertne of a higher operation joyned to them. pf the soul of the World, and of the Celestials, according to the traditions of the Poets, and Philosophers.

Tisnecessary that the heaven and Celestial bodies, seeing they have a power, influence, and manifelt operation upon tle inferiors, should be animated: seeing an, qperation canot proceed from a meer body, All famous Poets, and Philophers affirm therefore that the world and all Celestiall bo- R lies must have a soul, and that also intelligent : Hence Asarcrs avillizs in his Astronomy to eAngustns jlings, Y 4 The Of Occult Philosophy.

This dof all Platonists, Pytha gorians, Orphens, Trismeg1Rus, Aristetl\ T he: BookIT., Of Occult Philosophy. Theophrastus, Aviceng Algazeles, and all Peripateticks confess, and confirm. CHAP. LVL T he same 15 confirmed by reason. He world, the heavens, the Stars, and the Elements haye a soul, with which they cause a soul in these inferior and mixed bodies. They have also as we said in the former book .a spicit, which by the mediating of the soul is united to the body : For as the world is a certain whole body, the parts whereof are the bodies of all living creatures, and by how much the whole is more perfeR and noble then the parts, by so much more perfe&, and noble is the body of the world then the bodies of each living thing.It would be absurd, that all imperfeR bodies and parts of the world, and every base Animal, as Flies, and Worms should be worthy of a life, and have alike and soul, and the whole entire world a most peefe, whole, and most noble body, thould have neither life,nor soul;

Itisno less absurd, that Heavens, Stars, Elements, which give toall things life, and soul most largely, should themselves be without lite, and soul; and that every plant , or tree (hould be of a more noble condition then the Heaven, Stars, and Ele. ments, which are naturally che cause of them ; And what living man can deny that earth, and water live, which of themselves,

plants, and living (creatures ? as molt manifestly appears in hings that Lives of their own accord, and in those which have no corporeall seed. Neither could Elements generate and nourish such kind of living creatpres, if they themselves were ithour life or soul. But some haply may say, that: such kind f living creatures are not generated by the soul of the earth, allÞr water, bur by the influencics of Celestta}l souls ; These the dof latonists answer, that an Accident cannot beger a substance, ly snless haply as an instrument it be subjeRed to the next sub. Le-Wiance, because an instrument removed from an artificer is not moved zenerate, vivitie, nourish, and increase innumerable trees, Eg moved to the effeR of the art ; soallo those Celestiall influer; cies, seeing they are certain accidents being removed far from vital substances, or from the life it self, cannot generate a vita substance in these inferiors. And Asercarins in his book which he cals De Communs, saith, All that is in the world is moved «- ther byincrease,or decrease Now what moveg,mult needs hay: life ; and seeing that all things move, even the earth,especially with a generative and alterative motion,they mult themselyg live. And if any doubt that the heavens live, faith Theophrs ftus, he isnot to be accounted a Philosopher; and he whid denyes the heaven to be animated, so that the mover theref is not the form thereof, destroyes the foundation of all Phils. sophy ; The world therefore lives, hath a soul, and sense; fy it gives life to plants, which are not produced of seed; and ]ives sense to Animals, which are not generated by coition,

T hat the foul of the world, and the (lestiall souls are rationll, and partake of Divine understanding. Hat the above named souls have reason,is apparent henc For whereas the uniyersall works of the foresaid souls@ with a certain perpetuall order conspire amongst themselye! is neceslary that they be governed not by chance bytby realy; by which reason they do direR,& bring all cheir operations! a certainty, For it is neceflary that the earth shguld hayetk ' reason of terrene. things, and water of watery things ; and in the rest; by which reason each in their time; place, and otdi are generated, and being hurt are repaired. Therefore Phils sophers do not think the sou of the earth to be. as it wet the soul of some contemptible body, but to, be rationall u also intelligent, yea and to' be a diety, Besides it would Vt absurd, seeing we have reasons of our works, that Celcliiu souls, and the soul of the universe should not have reasons 0m theirs, Burt if (as saich Plato) the world be made by ve) Book 11. Of Occillt Philosophy. 331 soodness ir self, as well asit could be made, it is certainly endowed with not only lite, sense, and reason, but also under. tanding. For the perfeRion of a body is its soul, and that body is more perfe&t which hath a more perfeR soul ; Ir is necessary therefore, sceing Celestiall bodies are most perfeR, that they have also most perfeRt minds.

They partake therefore of an intelleFt and a minde ; which the Platonists also prove by the perseverarce of their order, and tenor, because motion 1s of its nature free, it may easily swarve, and wander now one Way, now another,unless it were ruled by an intelleR ind a mind, and that also by a perfeRt mind foresceing from he beginning the best way, and chief end, Which perfe&R mind indeed, because it is molt powerfull in the soul, as is the soul,and as are the souls of Celestiall bodies, and of Elements, ithout all doubt doth most orderly,and perfeRly govern the ork allotted to it. For bodies do not refst a most powerfull soul, and a perfeR mind doth not change its counsel. The soul f the world therefore is a certain only thing, filling all things, xstowing all chings,binding,and knitting together all things, hat it might make one frame of the world, and that it iht be as it were one instrument making of many strings, ut one sound, sounding from three kinds of creatures,intelle&. |, Celestiall, and Ipcorruptible, with one only breath and e,
