A Work newly written by the Author in Latine; and High-Dutch (being one of his last Essays, and the most suitable to Childrens capacities of any that he hath hitherto made) & translated into English, By CHARLES HOOLE, Teacher of a Private Grammar-School in Lothbury, LONDON.
For the use of young Latine-Scholars.

The Lord God brought unto Adam every Beast of the Field, and every Fowl of the air, to see what he would call them. And Adam gave names to all Cattell, and to the Fowl of the air, and to every beast of the Field.
2 Gen. 19, 20.
Adduxit Dominus Deus ad Adam cunctas animantes terrae, & universa volatilia caeli, ut videret quomodo vocaret illa. Appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia, & universa volatilia caeli, & omnes bestias agri.
INstruction is the means to expell Rudeness; with which young Wits ought to be wel-furbished in Schools: But so, as that the Teaching be 1. True, 2. Full, 3. Clear, and 4. Solid.
1. It will be true, if nothing be taught but such as are beneficial to ones life; lest there be a cause of complaining afterwards. We know not necessary things, because we have not learned things necessary.
2. It will be full, if the mind be polished for Wisdom, the Tongue for Eloquence, and the Hands for a neat way of Living. This will be that Grace of ones life, to be wise, to act, to speak.
3. 4. It will be elear, & by that firm and solid, if whatever is taught and learned, be not obscure, or confused, but apparent, distinct, and articulate, as the fingers on the hands.
The ground of this business is that sensual objects[Page]be rîghtly presented to the senses, for fear they may not be received. I say, and say it again aloud, that this last is the foundation of all the rest: because we can neither act nor speak wisely, unlesse we first rightly understand all the things which are to be done, and whereof, we are to speak. Now there is nothing in the understanding which was not before in the sense. And therefore to exercise the senses well about the right perceiving the differences of things, will be to lay the grounds for all wisdom, and all wise discourse, and all discreet actions in ones course of life. Which, because it is commonly neglected in Schooles, and the things that are to be learned are offered to Scholars, without being understood, or being rightly presented to the senses, it cometh to pass, that the work of teaching and learning goeth heavtily onward, and affordeth little benefit.
See here then a new help for Schooles, A Picture and Nomenclature of all the chief things in the World, and of mens Actions in their way of living! Which, that you, good Masters, may not be loth to run over with your Scholars, I will tell you in short, what good you may expect from it.
It is a little Book, as you see, of no great bulk, yet a brief of the whole world, and a whole language: full of Pictures, Nomenclatures, and Descriptions of things.
I. The Pictures are the Representations of all visible things, (to which also things invisible are reduced after their fashion) of the whole world. And that in that very order of things, in which [Page] they are described in the Ianua Latinae Linguae and with that fulness, that nothing very necessary or of great concernment is omitted.
II. The Nomenclatures are the Inscriptions, or Titles set every one over their own Pictures, expressing the whole thing by its own general Term.
III. The Descriptions are the Explications of the Parts of the Picture, so expressed by their own proper terms, as that same Figure which is added to every piece of the Picture, and the term of it, alwayes sheweth what things belongeth one to another.
Which such Book, and in such a dress may (I hope) serve,
I. To entice witty Children to it, that they may not conceit a torment to be in the School, but dainty-fare. For it is apparent, that Children (even from their Infancy almost) are delighted with Pictures, and willingly please their eyes with these sights, And it will be very well worth the pains to have once brought it to pass, that scarcrows may be taken away out of wisdomes Gardens.
II. This same little Book will serve to stir up the Attention, which is to be fastened upon things, and ever to be sharpened more and more; which is also a great matter. For the senses (being the main guides of Child-hood, because therein the Mind doth not as yet raise up it self to an abstracted contemplation of things) evermore seek their own objects, and if they be away, they grow dull, and [Page] wry themselves hither and thither, out of a weariness of themselves: but when their objects are present, they grow merry, wax lively, and willingly suffer themselves to be fastened upon them, till the thing be sufficiently discerned. This Book then will do a good piece of service in taking (especially flickering) Wits, and preparing them for deeper studies.
III. Whence a third good will follow; that Children being won hereunto, and drawn over with this way of heeding, may he furnished with the knowledge of the Prime things that are in the world, by sport, and merry pastime. In a word, this Book will serve for the more pleasing using of the Vestibulum, and Ianua Linguarum, for which end it was even at the first chiefly intended. Yet if it like any that it be bound up in their native tongues also, it promiseth three other good things of it self.
I. First it will afford a Devise for learning to read, more easily than hitherto; especially having a Symbolical Alphabet set before it, to wit, the Characters of the several Letters, with the Image of that creature, whose voyce that letter goeth about to imitate, pictured by it. For the yong A b c Scholar will easily remember the force of every Character by the very looking upon the Creature, till the imagination being strengthened by use can readily afford all things. And then, having looked over a Table of the chief Syllables also (which yet was not thought necessary to be added to this Book) he may proceed to the viewing of the Pictures, and the Inscriptions set over [Page] them. Where again the very looking upon the thing Pictured, suggesting the name of the thing, will tell him how the Title of the Picture is to be read. And thus the whole Book being gone over by the bare Titles of the Pictures, Reading cannot but be learned; and indeed too, which thing is to be noted, without using any ordinary tedious spelling, that most troublesome torture of wits, which may wholly be avoyded by this Method. For the often reading over the Book, by those larger Descriptions of things, and which are set after the Pictures, will be able perfectly to beget a habit of reading.
II. The same Book being used in English in English Schooles will serve for the perfect learning of the whole English tongue, and that from the bottome; because by the aforesaid Descriptions of things, the words and Phrases of the whole language are found set orderly in their own places. And a short English Grammar might be added at the end, clearly resolving the Speech already understood into its parts, shewing the declining of the several words, and reducing those that are joyned together undercertain Rules.
III. Thence a new benefit cometh, that that very English translation, may serve for the more ready and pleasant learning of the Latine tongue: as one may see in this Edition, the whole Book being so translated, that every where one word answereth to the word over against it, and the Book is in all things the same, only in two idiomes, as a man clad in a double garment. And there might be also [Page] some Observations and Advertisements added in the end, touching those things only, wherein the Use of the Latine tongue differeth from the English. For, where there is no difference, there needeth no advertisement to be given. But, because the first tasks of Learners ought to be little, and single, we have filled this first Book of training one up to see a thing of himself with nothing but rudiments, that is, with the chief of things and words, or with the grounds of the whole world, and the whole language, and of all our Understanding about things. If a more perfect description of things, and a fuller knowledge of a language, and a clearer light of the understanding be sought after (as they ought to be) they are to be found some where ese, whither there will now be an easie passage by this our little Encyclopadia of things subject to the senses, Something remaineth to be said, touching the more cheerful use of this Book.
I. Let it be given to children into their hands to delight themselves withall as they please, with the sight of the Pictures, and making them as familiar to themselves as may be, and that even at home, before they be put to School.
II. Then let them be examined ever and anon (especially now in the School) what this thing or that thing is, and is called, so that they may see nothing, which they know not how to name, and that they can name nothing, which they cannot shew.
III. And let the things named them be shewed, [Page] not only in the Picture, but also in themselves; for example, the parts of the Body, Clothes, Books, the House, Utensils, & e.
IV. Let them be suffered also to imitate the Pictures by hand, if they will, nay rather, let them be encouraged, that they may be willing: first, thus to quicken the attention also towards the things; and to observe the proportion of the parts one towards another; and lastly, to practise the nimbleness of the hand, which is good for many things.
V. If any things here mentioned, cannot be presented to the eye, it will be to no purpose at all, to offer them by themselves to the Scholars, as, colours, relishes, &c. which cannot here be pictured out with ink. For which reason it were to be wished, that things rare and not easie to be met withall at home, might be kept ready in every great School, that they may be shewed also, as often as any words are to be made of them, to the Scholars.
Thus at the last this School would indeed become a School of things obvious to the senses, and an Entrance to the School Intellectual. But enough: let us come to the thing it self.
The Translator to all judicious, and industrious School-Masters.
Gentlemen,
THere are few of you (I think) but have seen, and with great willingness made use of, (or at lest perused,) many of the Books of this wel-deserving Author Mr. Iohn Commenius; which, for their profitableness to the speedy attainment of a Language, have been Translated in several Countries out of Latine into their own native tongues.
Now the general verdict (after trial made) that hath passed, touching those formerly extant, is this, that, they are indeed of singular use, and very advantageous to those of more discretion, (especially to such, as have already got a smattering in Latine) to help their memories to retain what they have scatteringly gotten here and there, and to furnish them with many words, which (perhaps) they had not formerly read, or so well observed; but to yong Children (whom we have chiefly to instruct) as those that are ignorant altogether of most things, and words, they prove rather a more toyl and burden, than a delight, and furtherance.
For to pack up many words in memory, of things not conceived in the mind, is to fill the head with empty imaginations, and to make the learner more to admire their multitude, and variety (and thereby to become discouraged;) then to care to treasure them[Page]up, in hopes to gain more knowledge of what they mean.
He hath therefore in some of his later works seemed to move retrograde, and striven to come neerer to the reach of tender wits; and in this present Book, he hath (according to my judgement,) descended to the very Bottom of what is to be taught, and proceeded (as Nature it self doth) in an orderly way; first to exercise the Senses well, by presenting their objects to them, and then to fasten upon the Intellect by impressing the first notions of things upon it, and linking them one to another by a rational discourse. Whereas indeed, We generally missing this way, do teach children, as we do Parrats, to speak they know not what, nay, which is worse, we, taking the Way of teaching little ones by Grammar only at the first, do pusle their imaginations with abstractive terms and secundary intentions, which, till they be somewhat acquainted with things, and the words belonging to them, in the language which they learn, they cannot apprehend what they mean. And this I guess to be the reason, why many greater persons do resolve sometimes, not to put a Child to School, till he be at lest eleven, or twelve years of age, presuming that he having then taken notice of most things, will sooner get the knowledge of the words which are applyed to them in any language. But the gross misdemeanour of such children for the most part, have taught many Parents to be hasty enough to send their own to School, if not that they may learn, yet (at lest) that they may be kept out of [Page] harms way; and yet if they do not profit, for the time they have been at School, (no respect at all, being had of their years,) the Master shall be sure enough to bear the blame.
So that a School-master had need to bend his wits to come within the compass of a Childes capacity of six or seven years of age (seeing we have now such commonly brought to our Grammar-Schooles to learn the Latine Tongue) and to make that they may learn with as much delight and willingness, as himself would teach with dexterity, and ease. And at present I know no better Help to forward his yong Scholars than this little Book, which was for this purpose contrived by the Author in the German and Latine Tongues.
What profitable use may be made thereof, respecting chiefly that his own Countrey and Language, he himself hath told you in his Preface; but what use we may here make of it in our Grammar-Schooles, as it is now translated into English, I shall partly declare: leaving all other men (according to my wont) to their own discretion, and liberty, to use it, or refuse it, as they please. So soon then as a Child can read English perfectly, and is brought us to School to learn Latine, I would have him together with his Accidence to be provided of this book, in which he may at least once a day (besides his Accidence) be thus exercised.
I. Let him look over the Pictures with their general Titles or Inscriptions, till he be able to turn readily to any one of them, and to tell its name either in English, or Latine. By this means he shall have the [Page] Method of the Book in his head; and be easily furnished with the knowledge of most things; and instructed how to call them, when at any time he meeteth with them elsewhere in their real forms.
II. Let him read the Description at large, first in English, and afterwards in Latine, till he can readily read, and distinctly pronounce the words in both Languages, ever minding how they are spelled. And withall, let him take notice of the Figures inserted, and to what part of the Picture they direct by their like, till he be well able to find out every particular thing of himself, and to name it on a suddain, either in English, or Latine. Thus, he shall not only gain the most primitive words, but be understandingly grounded in Orthography, which is a thing too generally neglected by us; partly because our English-Schools think that Children should learn it at the Latine, and our Latine-Schooles suppose they have already learn'd it at the English; partly; because our Common-Grammar is too much defective in this Part, & Scholars so little exercised therein, that they pass from Schooles to the Universities, and return from thence (some of them) more unable to write true English, than either Latine, or Greek. Not to speak of our ordinary Trades-men, many of whom write such false English, that none but themselves can interpret what they scribble, in their Bills, and Shop-Books.
III. Then let him get the Tiles and Descriptions by heart, which he will more easily do by reason of those impressions which the viewing of the [Page] Pictures hath already made in his memory. And now let him also learn, 1. To construe, or give the words one be one, as they answer one another in Latine and English. 2. To parse, according to the Rules (which I presume by this time) he hath learn'd in the first part of the Accidence; where I would have him, tell what Part of Speech any word is, and then what Accidents belong to it; but especially to decline the Nouns, and Conjugate the Verbs according to the Examples in his Rudiments; and this doing will enable him to know the end and use of his Accidence. As for the Rules of Genders of Nounes, and the Praeterperfect-tenses and Supines of Verbs, or those of Concordance and Construction in the latter part of the Accidence, I would not have a child much troubled with them, till by the help of this Book he can perfectly practise so much of Etymologie, as concerns the first Part of his Accidence only. For that, and this Book together being thorowly learn'd by at lest thrice going them over, will much prepare Children to go cheerfully forward in their Grammar, and School-Authors, especially, if whil'st they are imployed herein they be taught also to write a fair, and legible hand.
There is one thing to be given notice of, which I wish could have been remedied in this Translation; that the Book being writ in high-Dutch, doth express many things in reference to that Countrey and Speech, which cannot without alteration of some Pictures, as well as words, be expressed in ours: for the Symbolical Alphabet is [Page] fitted for German Children rather than for ours And whereas the words of that Language go orderly one for one with the Latine, our English propriety of Speech will not admit the like. Therefore it will behoove those Masters, that intend to make use of this Book, to construe it verbatim to their young Scholars, who will quickly learn to do it of themselves, after they be once acquainted with the first words of Nounes, and Verbs, and their manner of variation.
Such a work as this, I observe to have been formerly much desired by some experienced Teachers, and I my self had some years since (whil'st my own Child lived) begun the like, (having found it most agreeable to the best witted Children, who are most taken up with Pictures from their Infancy, because by them the knowledge of things, which they seem to represent (and whereof Children are as yet ignorant) are most easily conveyed to their Ʋnderstanding,) but for as much as the work is now done, (though in somethings not so completely, as it were to be wished) I rejoyce in the use of it, and desist in my own undertakings, for the present. And because any good thing is the better, being the more communicated; I have herein imitated a Child, who is forward to impart to others, what himself hath well liked. You then that have the care of little Children, do not too much trouble their thoughts, and clog their memories with bare Grammar Rudiments, which to them are harsh in getting, and fluid in retaining; (because indeed to them they signifie nothing, but [Page] a more swimming notion of a general term, which they know not what it meaneth, till they comprehend also particulars, but by this or the like Subsidiarie, inform them, first with some knowledge of things, and words wherewith to express them, and then their Rules of speaking will be better understood, and more firmly kept in mind. Else, how should a Child conceive, what a Rule meaneth, when he neither knoweth what the Latine word importeth, nor what manner of thing it is wch is signified to him in his own native Language, which is given him thereby to understand the Rule? For Rules, consisting of generalities, are delivered (as I may say) at a third hand, presuming first the things, and then the words to be already apprehended, touching which they are made. I might indeed enlarge upon this Subject, it being the very Basis of our Profession, to search into the way of Childrens taking hold by little and little of what we teach them, that so we may apply our selves to their reach, but I leave the observation hereof to your own daily exercise, and experience got thereby,
And I pray God, the fountain and giver of all wisdom, that hath bestowed upon us this gift of Teaching, so to inspire and direct us by his grace, that we may train up Children in his Fear, and in the knowledge of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; and then no doubt our teaching and their learning of other things subordinate to these, will by the assistance of his blessed Spirit make them able and willing to do him faithful Service both in Church [Page] and Common-wealth, as long as they live here, that so they may be eternally blessed with him hereafter. This, I beseech you, beg for me and mine, as I shall daily do for you and yours, at the throne of Gods heavenly grace, and remain while I live
Ready to serve you, as I truly love and honour you, and labour willingly in the same Profession with you, CHARLES HOOLE.
From my School, in Lothbury, London, Ian. 25. 1658.
N B. Those Heads or Descriptions which concern things beyond the present apprehension of Childrens wits, as, those of Geography, Astronomy, or the like, I would have omitted, till the rest be learned, and a Child be better able to understand them.
The Judgement of Mr. Hezekiah Wood-Ward, sometimes an eminent Schoolmaster in LONDON, touching a Work of this Nature, in his Gate to Sciences, Chap. 2.
CErtainly the use of Images, or Representations is great: If we could make our words as legible to Children as Pictures are, their information there from would be quickened and surer. But so we cannot do, though we must do what we can. And if we had Books, wherein are the Pictures of all Creatures, Herbs, Beasts, Fish, Fowles, they would stand us in great stead. For Pictures are the most intelligible Books, that Children can look upon. They come closest to nature; nay, saith Scaliger, Art exceeds her.
WHereas divers Gentlemen of good quality, have been very earnest heretofore with Charles Hoole as well to Table as teach their Children; This is to give notice to all, but especially those of his acquaintance, that he is now fitted of an House and all things answerable to their meet accommodation, and will be diligent himself, and maintain an able Usher also in his House to attend their Teaching, and his Wife and her Servants, ready to see to their wholsome dyet, and cleanly ordering, upon a Rate answerable to so great a Charge and Pains, as are thereunto required. At the North-East Corner of the New-Buildings in the Token-house Garden in Lothbury London. Nere the Royal Exchange.
There is now in the Press, a third Edition Corrected and Inlarged. Of the easie Entrance to the Latine Tongue. Written by Mr. Charles Hoole, containing.
1. The Rudiments of Grammer, with the Examination of the Accidence.
2, A Vocabulary of common-words, English and Latine:
3: Sundry and short Examples, applyable to the Rules of Concordance, and Construction.
4. Collections out of the lowest School Authours.
5. More Elegant Expressions for Children.
6. The first Principles of Christianity, Which may be had bound altogether, or severally as directed in the Preface.
Faults, that have escaped the Press, which I desire the Master to correct with his Pen, before he deliver the Book to his young Scholar to use; are these:
Ante omnia, debes discere simplices Sonos, ex quibus constat Sermo humanus; quos, Animalia sciunt formare, & tua Lingua scit imitari, & tua Manus potest piugere.
Before all things, thou oughtest to learn the plain sounds, of which mans spéech consisteth; which living Creatures know how to make, and thy tongue knoweth how to imitate, and thy hand can picture out.
Afterwards wée will go into the world, and we will view all things.
Hear thou hast a lively & vocal Alphabet.

The parts of a Wagon are, the Neep, (or draught-trée,) 6. the Beam, 7. the Bottom, 8. and the sides; 9.
Then the Axle-trees, 10. about which the Wheels run, the Lin-Pins 11. and Axletree-staves, 12. being fastened before them.
The Nave, 13. is the ground-fast of the Wheel, 14. from which come twelve Spokes; 15.
The Ring encompasseth these, which is made of six fellows 16 and as many Strakes. 17
[Page 177]Lest he that is to passe over a River should be all wet, Bridges 1. were invented for Carriages, and Foot-bridges 2. for Foot-men.
If a River have a Foord, 3. it is waded over. 4. Flotes, 5. also are made of Timber pinned together; or Ferrie-boats, 6. of planks laid close together, for fear they should receive water.
Besides Scullers 7. are made, which are rowed with an Oar, 8. or a Pole, 9. or haled with a haleing-rope. 10.
[Page 179]Men are wont also to swim over waters upon a bundle of flags, 1 & besides upon blown Beast-bladders; 2. and after, by throwing their Hands & Feet 3. abroad.

A Ship 1. is driven onward, not by Oars, but by the only force of the winds.
In it is a Mast 2. set up, fastened with Shrowds 3. on all sides to the main-chains, to which the Sail-yards 4. . are tyed, and the Sayls 5, to these; which are[Page 183]spred open 6. to the wind, and are hoysed by bowlings 7.
The Sayles are the main-Sayl, 8. the Trinket or fore-Sail, 9. the Misen-Sail, or Poop-Sail. 10.

The ship is stayed with an Anchor, 15.
The depth is fathomed with a Plumet. 16.
Passengers walk up and down the Decks, 17
The Sea-men run to and fro through the Hatches. 18.
The Ancients writ in Tables done over with Wax with a brasen poitrel, 1 with the shap end 2. whereof Letters were engraven, and rubbed out again with the broad end 3.
Afterwards they writ Letters with a small Reed. 4.
We use a Goose-quill, 5. [Page 187]the Stem 6. of which we make with a Pen-knife; 7. then we dip the neb in an Ink-horn, 8. which is stopped with a Stopple, 9. and we put up our Pens into a Pennar. 10.
We dry a writing with Blotting-paper, or Calis-sand, out of a Sand-box. 11.
And we indéed, write from the left-hand, towards the right; 12. the Hebrews from the right-hand towards the left; 13. the Chinois, and other Indians, from the top downwards. 14.
[Page 189] Veteres utebantur Tabulis faginis, 1. aut Foliis 2. ut & Libris 3. Arborum, praesertim arbusculae Aegyptiae, cui nomen erat Papyrus.
Nunc, est in usu Charta, quem Chartopaeus, in molâ papyraceâ, 4. conficit è linteis vetustis, 5. in pulmentum contusis, 6. quod, Normulis haustum, 7. diducit in plagulas, 8. aërique exponit, ut siccentur.
[Page 189]The ancients used Beech-Bords, 1. or Leaves 2. as alss Barks 3. of Trees, especially of an Egyptian shrub, which was called Papyrus.
Now Paper is in use, which the Paper-maker maketh in a Paper-mill, 4. of Linnen-rags, 5. stamped to Mash, 6. which being taken up in Frames, 7. he spreadeth into Sheets, 8. and setteth them in the air that they may be dried.
Twenty five of these make a quire, 9. twenty quires a Ream, 10. and ten of these a Bale of Paper. 11.
That which is to last long is written in Parchment. 12.
Typographus habet aeneos Typos, magno numero, distributos per Loculamenta. 5.
Typotheta 1. eximit illos singulatim, & componit (secundùm Exemplar, quod Retinaculo 2. sibi praefixum habet) verba [Page 191]Gnomone, 3. do nec fiat Versus; hos indit Formae, 4. do nec fiat Pagina; 6. has iterum tabula compositoriae, 7. eosque coarctat Marginibu ferreis, 8. ope Cochlearum, 9. ne dilabantur; ac subjicit Prelo. 10.
The Printer hath Copper Letters in a great number put into Boxes. 5.
The Compositor 1. taketh them out one by one, and (according to the Copy, which he hath fastened before him in a Visorum 2.) composeth words[Page 191]in a composing-stick, 3. till a Line be made, he putteth these in a Gally, 4. till a Page 6. be made, and these again in a Form, 7. and he locketh them up in Iron Chases, 8. with coyns, 9. lest they should drop out, and putteth them under the Press, 10.
Then the Presse-man beateth it over with Printers-Ink by means of Balls, 11. spreadeth upon it the Papers, put in the Frisket, 12. which being put under the Spindle, 14. on the Coffin, 13. and pressed down with the Bar 15. he maketh to take Impression.
[Page 195]In times past they glued Paper to Paper, and rolled them up together into one Rowl. 1.
At this day the Book-binder bindeth Books, whilst he wipeth 2. over Papers stéept in Gum-water; and then foldeth them together, 3. beateth with a hammer, 4. up, 5. then stitcheth them presseth them in a Presse, 6. which hath two Scrues 7 glueth them on the back, cutteth off the edges with a round Knife, 8. and at last covereth them with Parchment or Leather, 9. maketh them handsome, and setteth on Clasps. 10.
[Page 197] Liber, quoad formam exteriorem, est vel in Folio, 1. vel in Quarto, 2. in Octavo, 3. in Duodecimo, 4. vel Columnatus, 5. vel Linguatus, 6. cum Clausuris aeneis, 7. vel Ligulis, 8. & Bullis angularibus. 9.

[Page 197]A Book, as to its outward shape is either in Folio, 1. or in Quarto, 2. in Octavo, 3. in Duodecimo 4. either made to open Side-wise, 5. or Long-wise, 6. with Brazen Clasps, 7. or Strings, 8. and Square-bosses. 9.
Within are Leaves 10. with two Pages, sometimes divided with Columns 11. & Marginal Notes. 12.
Muséum 1. est locus, ubi Studiosus, 2. secretus ab hominibus, solus sedet, Studiis deditus, dum lectitat Libros, 3. quos penes se super Pluteum 4. exponit, & ex iliis in Manuale 5. suum optima quae(que) excerpit, [Page 201] aut in illis Liturâ, 6. vel ad marginem Asterisco, 7. notat.
Lucubraturus, elevat Lychnum (candelam) 8. in Candelabro, 9. qui emungitur Emunctorio; 10. ante Lychnum collocat Ʋmbraculum, 11. quod viride est, ne hebetet oculorum aciem: opulentiores utuntur Cereo, nam Candela sebacea foetet & fumigat.
The Study 1. is a place where a Student, 2. a part from men, sitteth alone, addicted to his Studies, whilst he readeth Books, 3. which being within his reach, he layeth open upon a Desk 4. and picketh all the best things out of them into his own Manual, 5. [Page 201]or marketh them in them with a dash, 6. or a little star, 7. in the Margent.
Being to sit up late, he setteth a Candle, 8. on a Candle-stick, 9. which is snuffed with Snuffers; 10. before the Candle he placeth a Screen, 11. which is gréen, that it may not hurt his eyesight; richer persons use a Taper, for a Tallow-Candle sticketh, and smoaketh.
A Letter 12. is wrapped up, writ upon, 13. and sealed. 14.
Going abroad by night, he maketh use of a Lantorn 15. or a Torch. 16.
Grammatica, 1. versatur circa Literas, 2. ex quibus componit Voces (verba 3. eas(que) docet rectè eloqui, scribere, 4. construere, distinguere [interpungere]
Rhetorica 5. pingit 6. quasi [Page 203] rudem formam 7. Sermonis Oratoriis Pigmentis, 8. ut sunt Figurae, Elegantiae, Adagia (Proverbia) Apophthegmata, Sententiae (Gnomae) Similia Hieroglyphica, &c.
Poesis 9. colligit hos Flores Orationis 10. & colligat quasi in Corollam, 11. atque ita, faciens é prosâ ligatam Orationem, componit varia Carmina, & Hymnos (Odas) ac proptereà coronatur Lauru. 12:
Musica 13. componit Notis Melodias, 14. quibus Verba aptat, atque ita cantat sola vel Concentu (Symphoniâ) aut voce, aut instrumentis Musicis. 15
Grammar, 1. is conversant about Letters, 2. of which it maketh words 3. & teacheth how to utter write, 4. put together, and part them rightly.
Rhetorick, 5. doth as it were paint 6. [Page 203]a rude Form 7. of Speech with Oratory Flourishes, 8. such as are, Figures, Elegancies, Adagies, Apophthegms, Sentences, Similies Hieroglyphicks, &c.
Poetry 9. gethereth the Flours of Speech 10. and tyeth them as it were into a little Garland, 11. and so making of Prose a Poem, it maketh several sorts of Verses, and Odes, and is therefore crow̄ned with a Laurell. 12.
Musique 13. setteth Tunes, 14. with Pricks, to which it sitteth words, and so singeth alone, or in Consort, or by voyce, or Musical Inurument. 15.
Musical Instruments are those which make a sound: First, when they are beaten upon, as a Cymball 1. with a Pestill, a little Bell 2. with an Iron Pellet within; a Rattle, 3. by tossing it about; a Jewes-trump. 4. being put to the mouth, with the finger; a Drum 5. and a Kettle, 6. with a Drum-stick, 7. [Page 205]as also the Dulcimer, 8. with the shepheards-harp; 9 and the Tymbrell. 10.
Secondly, upon which strings are stretched, and struck upon, as the Psalteri, 11. and the Virginals, 12. with both hands; the Lute 13. in which is the Neck, 14 the Belly, 15. the Pegs, 16. by which the Strings, 17. are stretched upon the Bridge, 18. the Cittern; 19. with the right hand only, the Viall, 20. with a Bow; 21. and the Harp, 23. with a wheel within, which is turned about; the Stops, 22. in every one are touched with the left-hand.
At last, those which are blown, as, with the mouth, the Flute 24. the Shawm, 25. the Bag-pipe, 26. the Cornet, 27. the Trumpet; 28: 29. or with bellowes, as, a pair of Organs: 30.
[Page 207]The Naturalist, 1. vieweth all the works of God in the World.
The Supernaturalist, 2 searcheth out the Causes, & Effects of things.
The Arithmetician, reckoneth numbers, by adding, substracting, multiplying, and dividing; and that either by Cyphers 3. on a slate, or by Counters 4. upon a Deck:
Countrey-people reckon 5. with Figures of tens X. and Figures of five V. by twelves, Fifteens, and threescores
Astronomia considerat Astrorum motûs, Astrologia eorum effectûs.
Coeli globus volvitur super Axem 1. circa globum Terrae, 2. spacio XXIV. horarum.
Axem utrin(que) finiunt Stellae Polares sive Poli, Arcticus 3. & Antarcticus. 4.
Coelum undi(que) est stellatum: Stellarum fixarum numerantur plus mille; Siderum verò [Page 211]Septentrionalium, XXI. Meridionalium, XVI. Adde Signa XII. Zodiaci, 5. quodlibet graduum XXX. quorum nomina sunt, ♈ | Aries, ♉ Taurus, ♊ Gemini ♋ Cancer, ♌ Leo, ♍ Virgo, ♎ Libra, ♏ Scorpius, ♐ Sagittarius, ♑ Capricornus, ♒ Aquarius, ♓ Pisces.
Sub hoc, cursitant Stellae errantes VII. quas vocant Planetas, quorum via est, Circulus in medio Zodiaci, dictus, Ecliptica. 6.
Alii Circuli sunt, Horizon, 7. Meriáianus, 8. Aequator; 9, duo Coluri, alter Aequinoctiorum, 10. (Verni quando ☉ ingreditur ♈ Autumnalis quando ingreditur ♎) alter Solstitiorum, 11. (Aestivi quando ☉ ingreditur ♋, Hyberni quando ingreditur ♑;) duo Tropici, Tr. Cancri, 12. Tr. Capricorni; 13. & duo Polares. 14...15.
Astronomie considereth the motion of the Stars, Astrologie the effects of them.
The Globe of Heaven is turned about upon an Axle-tree 1. about the globe of the earth, 2. in the space of XXIV hours
The Polar stars, or Poles, the Arctick 3. and Antartick. 4. conclude the Axle-tree at both ends.
The Heaven is full of Stars every where. There are reckoned above a thousand fixed-stars; but of constellations [Page 211] towards the North, XXI. towards the South, XVI. Adde to these the XII. Signs of the Zodiaque, 5. every one of XXX. degrees, whose names are, ♈ Aries, ♉ Taurus, ♊ Gemini. ♋ Cancer, ♌ Leo, ♍ Virgo, ♎ Libra, ♏ Scorpius, ♐ Sagittarius, ♑ Capricor. ♒ Aquarius, ♓ Pisces.
Under this the seven wandering Stars, VII. which they call Planets, move, whose way is a circle in the middle of the Zodiack, called the Ecliptick. 6.
Other circles are the Horizon, 7. the Meridian, 8. the Aequator; 9. the two Colures, the one of the Aequinocts, 10 (of the Spring, when the ☉ entereth into ♈ Autumnal, when it entereth into ♎) the other of the Solstices, 11. (of the Summer, when the ☉ entereth into ♋ of the Winter when it entereth into [...]) the two Tropicks, the Tropick of Cancer, 12. the Tropick of Capricorn, 13 and the two Polar circles. 14...15.
[Page 215] The Moon, shineth not by her own Light, but that which is borrowed of the Sun.
For the one half of it is always enlightned, the other remaineth darkish.
Hereupon we see it in Conjunction with the Sun, 1. to be obscure, almost none at all; in Opposition, 5. whole and clear, (and we call it the Full-Moon;) sometimes in the half, (and we call it the ptime 3. and last quarter; 7.
Otherwise it waxeth 2....4. or waneth 6....8. and is said to be horned or more than half round.
[Page 217]Sol, est fons Lucis, illuminans omnia: sed non penetrantur Radiis ejus Corpora opaca, Terra 1. & Luna; 2. nam jaciunt umbram, in locum oppositum.
Ideò, cum Luna incidit in umbram Terrae, 2. obscuratur: quod vocamus Eclipsin [deliquium] Lunae.
Cùm verò Luna currit inter Solem & Terram, 3. obtegit illum umbrâ suâ: & hoc vocamus Eclipsin Solis, quia nobis adimit prospectum Solis & lucem ejus; nec tamen Sol aliquid patitur, sed Terra.
[Page 217]The Sun is ye fountain of light, inlightning all things; but the Earth 1. and the Moon 2. being shady Bodies, are not pierced with its Rayes, for they cast a shadow upon the place just over against them.
Therefore, when ye Moon lighteth into the shadow of the Earth it is darkned 2. which we call an Eclipse, or defect.
But when the Moon runneth betwixt the Sun and the Earth 3. it covereth it with its shadow: and this we call the Eclipse of the Sun, because it taketh from us the sight of the sun, and its light; neither doth the Sun for all that fuffer any thing, but the Earth.
Terra est rotunda, fingenda igitur duobus Hemisphaeriu. a...b
Ambitus ejus, est graduum CCCLX. (quorum quisque facit Milliaria Germanica XV) seu Milliarum VMCCCC: & tamen est Punctum, collata cum Orbe, cujus Centrum est.
The earth is round, & therefore to be represented by two Hemispheres, a...b
The circuit of it is three hundred & sixty degrees (whereof every one maketh fifteen German miles) or 5400 miles; and yet it is but a prick, being compared wt ye world, whereof it is the Centre.
They measure the longitude of it by Climates, and the Latitude by Parallels. 2.
The Ocean 3. compasseth it about, and five Seas wash it, the Mediterrane Sea, 4. the Baltick Sea, 5. the Red Sea, 6. the Persian Sea, 7. and the Caspian Sea, 8.
Distribuitur in Zonas V. quarum duae Frigidae, 9..9. sunt inhabitabiles; duae Temperatae, 10...10. & Torrida, 11. habitantur.
Ceterum divisa est in tres Continentes: Nostram, 12. quae subdividitur in Europam, 13. Asiam, 14 & Africam, 15 in Americam, 16...16 cujus incolae nobis sunt Antipodes; & in Terram Australem, 17..17 adhuc incognitam.
Habitantes sub Arcto, 18. semestrales habent Noctes Diesque.
It is divided into 5 Zones, wherof the 2 frigid ones 9. 9 are inhabitable, the 2 Temperate ones, 10...10 & ye Torrid one, 11. habitable.
Besides it is divided into three Continents; this of ours, 12. wt is subdivided into Europe, 13 Asia, 14. Africa, 15. America, 16...16. (whose inhabitants are Antipodes to us) and the South. land 17...17 yet unknown.
They that dwel under the North-pole, 18. have ye days and nights 6 months long.
This Life is a way, or a place divided into two ways, like Pythagoras's letter Y; broad 1. on the left-hand track, narrow 2. on the right; that belongs to Vice 3. this to Vertue, 4.
Minde, Yong man, 5. imitate Hercules. leave ye left-hand way, turn from Vice.[Page 221]the Entrance is fair, but the End, 7. is ugly & stéep down.
Go on the right hand, though it be thorny: 8. no way is unpassable to Vertue; follow whither Vertue leadeth, through narrow places to stately places, to the tower of honor, 9
Kéep the middle and straight path and thou shalt go very safe.
Take héed thou do not go too much on the right hand: 10. Bridle in, 12. the wilde horse, 11. of Affection, lest thou fall down headlong.
Sée thou dost not go amiss on the left-hand, 13. in an Ass-like sluggishness, 14. but go onwards constantly, persevere to the end, and thou shalt be [...], 15.
Prudentia, 1. omnia circumspectat, ut Serpens, 2. nihil(que) agit, loquitur, & cogitat in cassum.
Respicit, 3. tanquam in Speculum, 4. ad Praeterita; & prospicit, 5. tanquam Telescopio, 7. Futura seu Finem: 6. at(que) ita perspicit, [Page 225] quid egerit, & quid agendum restet.
Actionibus suis praefigit Scopum, Honestum, Ʋtilem, simúl(que) si fieri potest, Iucundum.
Fine prospecto, dispicit Media, ceu Viam, 8. quae ducit ad Finem; sed certa & facilia, pauciora potiùs quàm plura: ne quid impediat.
Occasioni 9. (quae, Fronte capillata, 10 sed Vertice calva, 11 adhaec alata, 12 facilè elabitur) attendit, eamque captat.
In viâ pergit cautè (providè) ne impingat aut aberret.
Prudence, 1. looketh upon all things as a Serpent, 2. and doeth, speaketh, or thinketh nothing in vain.
She looks backward, 3 as into a lookingglass, 4 to things past; and seeth before her, 5. as with a Perspectiveglass, 7. things to come, or the end; 6. and so she perceiveth[Page 225]what she hath done, and what remaineth to be done.
She proposeth an Honest, Profitable, and withal, if it may be done, a pleasant End to her actions.
Having foreseen the End, she looketh out Means, as a Way, 8. wt leadeth to the end; but such as are certain and easie, and fewer rather than more, lest any thing should hinder.
She watcheth Opporrtunity, 9. (which having a bushy forehead, 10. & being bald-pated, 11. and moreover having wings, 12. doth quickly slip away) and catcheth it.
She goeth on her way warily, for fear she should stumble or go amiss,
Diligence 1. loveth labours, avoideth Sloth, is always at work, like the Pismire, 2. and carrieth together, as she doth, for her self, store of all things. 3.
She doth not always sléep, or make holidays,[Page 227]as the Sluggard, 4. & the Grashopper 5. do; whom Want 6. at the last overtaketh.
She pursueth what things she hath undertaken cheerfully, even to the end; she putteth nothing off till the morrow, nor doth she sing the Crows song, 7. which saith over & over Cras, cras.
After labours undergone, and ended, being even wearied, she resteth her self; but deing refreshed with Rest, that she may not use her self to Idleness, she falleth again to her business.
A diligent Scholar is like Bees, 8. which carry honey from divers flowers 9. into their Hive. 10.

Vel muros per Scalas 2. transcendendo, [Page 291] aut Arietibus 3. diruendo, aut Tormentis 4. demoliendo; vel Portas Exostrâ 5. dirumpendo; vel Globos tormentarios 6. è Mortariis (balistis) 7. per Balistarios, 8. (qui post Gerras 9. latitant) in Urbem ejaculando; vel eam per Fossores 10. Cuniculis subvertendo.
Obsessi defendunt se de muris, 11. ignibus, lapidibus, &c. aut erumpunt. 12.
Ʋrbs vi expugnata, diripitur, exciditur, interdum solo aequatur.
A City that is like to endure a Siege, is first Summoned by a Trumpeter, 1. and parswaded to Yield.
Which if it refuse to do, it is assaulted by the Besiegers, and taken by Storm:
Either by climbing over the Walls with Scaling-ladders, 2. [Page 291]or breaking them down wt Battering-engines, 3. or demolishing them with great-Guns; 4. or breaking thorow the Gates with a Petarr; 5. or casting Granadoes 6. out of Morter-pieces 7. into the City, by Engineres, 8. who lye behinde Leagure-Baskets; 9. or over throwing it with Mines by Pyoneres 10.
They that are Besieged defend themselves from the Walls, 11. with Fire, and Stones, &c. or break out by force.
A City that is taken by Storm, is plundered, destroyed, and sometimes laid even with the ground.
Pietas, 1. Virtutum Regina, haustâ Notitiâ Dei, vel ex Libro Naturae, 2. (nam opus commendat artificem) vel ex Libro Scripturae, 3. colit Deum 4. humiliter; recolit Mandata ejus comprehensa [Page 293]Decalogo; 5. & Rationem, Canem oblatrantem, 6. conculcans, Fidem 7. & adsensum praebet Verbo Dei, eum(que)invocat, 8. ut Opitulatorem, in adversis.
Officia divina fiunt in Templo: 9. in quo est, Penetrale (Adytum) 10. cum Altari, 11. Sacrarium, 12. Suggestus, 13. Subsellia, 14. Ambones, 15. & Baptisterium. 16.
Deum esse, sentiunt omnes homines; sed non omnes rectè norunt Deum.
Hinc diversae Religiones quarum primariae IV. adhuc numerantur.
Godliness, 1. the Quéen of Uertues, worshippeth God 4. devoutly, the knowledge of God being drawn, either from the Book of Nature, 2. (for the Work commendeth the work-Master,) or from the Book of Scripture; 3. she meditateth upon his Commandements conteined[Page 293]in the Decalogue; 5, and treading reason under Foot, that Barking Dog, 6. she giveth Faith 7. and Assent to the Word of God, and calleth upon him, 8 as a helper, in adversity.
Divine Services are done in the Church: 9, in which are, the Quire, 10. with the Altar, 11. the Vestry, 12. the Pulpit, 13. Seats, 14. Galleries, 15. and a Font. 16.
All Men perceive that there is a God, but all men do not rightly know God.
Hence are divers Religions, whereof IV. are reckoned yet as the chief.
The Gentiles feigned to themselves neer upon XIIM. Deities.
The chief of thē were Jupiter, 1. President & petty-God of Heaven; Neptune, 2. of the Sea; Pluto, 3. of Hell; Mars, 4. of War; Apollo, 5. of Arts; Mercury, 6. of théeves; Merchants, and eloquence; Vulcan (Mulciber) of Fire, and Smiths; Aeolus, of Winds;[Page 295]and the most obscene of all the rest Priapus.
They had also Womanly Deities: such as were Venus, 7. the Goddess of loves & pleasures, with her little son Cupid; 8 Minerva (Pallas) with the nine Muses, of Arts; Juno, of Riches, and weddings; Vesta, of Chastity; Ceres, of Corn; Diana, of Hunting, and Fortune; and besides these Morbona, and Febris her self.
The Egyptians, instead of God worshipped all sorts of Beasts and Plants, & whatsoever they saw first in the Morning.
The Philistines offered to Moloch, 9. their Children to be burnt alive.
The Indians 10. even at this day worship the Devil. 11.
Verus tamen Cultus veri Dei, remansit apud Patriarchas, qui vixerunt ante & post Diluvium.
Inter hos, Abrahamo, 1. Iudaeorum Conditori, Patri Credentium, promissus est, Semen illud Mulieris, Mundi Messias; & ipse, avocatus à Gentilibus, cum Posteris, [Page 297]Sacramento Circumcisionis 2. notatus singularem Populum & Ecclesiam Dei constituit.
Huic populo postea DEUS, per Mosen, 3. in monte Sinai, 4. Legem suam, scriptam digito suo in Tabulis lapideis, 5. exhibuit.
Porrò ordinavit manducationē Agni Paschalis; 6 & Sacrificia in Altari 7. offerenda per Sacerdotes, 8. & Suffitûs; 9. & jussit fieri Tabernaculum 10. cum Arcâ Foederis; 11 praetereà erigi aeneum Serpentem 12. contra morsum Serpentum in deserto.
Quae omnia Typi erant venturi Messiae, quem Iudai adhuc exspectant.
Yet the true Worship of the true God, remained with the Patriarchs, who lived before, & after ye Flood.
Amongst these, that séed of the woman, the Messias of ye world, was promised to Abraham, 1. the Founder of the Jewes, the Father of them that believe; and he (being called away from the Gentiles) with his Posterity,[Page 297]being marked with the Sacrament of Circumsion, 2. made a peculiar People, and Church of God.
AfterwardsGod gave his Law written with his own finger in Tables of Stone, 5. to this people by Moses, 3. in Mount Sinai. 4.
Furthermore he ordained the eating of ye Paschal Lamb; 6. and Sacrifices to be offered upon an Altar 7 by Priests, 8. and Incense; 9. and Commanded a Tabernacle 10. with ye Ark of the Covenant 11 to be made; & besides, a brazen Serpent 12. to be set up against the biting of Serpents in the wilderness.
An which things were Types of the Messias to come, whom the Jewes yet look for.
Unigenitus aeternus Dei Filius, 3. promissus Protoplastis in Paradiso, tandem, impleto tempore, conceptus per Sa. Spiritum in utero sanctissimo Mariae 1. Virginis de domo regiâ Davidis, & indutus humanâ carne, Bethlehemi Iudaeae, in summa paupertate Stabuli, 2. [Page 299]Anno Mundi 3970. in mundum prodiit, sed mundus ab omni peccato, ei(que) impositum fuit nomen Iesu, quod significat Salvatorem.
Hic, cum imbueretur sacro Baptismo, 4. (Sacramento Novi Foederis) à Iohanne praecursore in Iordane, apparuit sacratissimum suo, 5. Mysterium divinae Trinitatis, Patris voce 6. (quâ testabatur, hunc esse Filium suum) & Spiritu Sancto in specie Columbae, 7. caelitus delabente.
Ab eo tempore, XXX. aetatis suae anno, Verbis & Operibus, prae se ferentibus Divinitatem, declaravit quis esset, in annum us(que) quartum: à Iudaeis[Page 300] nec agnitus nec exceptus ob voluntariā paupertatē
Ab his (quum priùs instituisset Coenam mysticam 8. Corporis & Sanguinis sui, in Sigillum novi Foederis. & sui recordationem) captus tandem, ad tribunal Pilati Praefecti Caesarei raptus, accusatus, & damnatus est, agnus innocentissimus; actus(que) in Crucem, 9. in arâ istâ, pro peccatis mundi immolatus, mortem subiit.
Sed tertiâ die, quum revixisset divinâ suâ virtute, resurrexit è Sepulcro, 10. & post dies XL, de Monte Oliveti 11. sublatus in Coelum 12. [Page 301] & eò rediens unde venerat, quasi evanuit, aspectantibus Apostolis, 13. quibus decimâ die post Adscensum suum, Spiritum Sanctum 14. de Coelo, ipsos verò, hâc Virtute impletos, de se praedicaturos, in Mundum, misit; olim rediturus ad judieium extremum, intereà sedens ad dextram Patris, & intercedens pro nobis.
Ab hoc Christo dicimur Christiani, in(que) eo solo salvamur.
The only-begotten eternal Son of God, 3. being promised to our first Parents in Paradise, at the last being conceived by the Holy Ghost, in the most Holy womb of the Virgin Mary 1. of the Royal House of David, and clad with human flesh, came into the world at Bethlehem of Judaea, in yt extreme poverty of a Stable, 2. [Page 299]in ye fulness of time, in the year of the world, [...]970. but pure from all [...]in, & ye name of Jesus, was given him, which signifieth a Saviour,
when he was sprinkled with holy Baptism, 4. (the Sacrament of the New Covenant) by John his fore-ruuner, 5 in Jordan, ye most sacred Mystery of the divine Trinity appeared by the Fathers voice 6. (wher-by he testified that this was his Son) and the Holy Ghost in the shape of a Dove, 7. coming down from heaven.
From that time being the 30. year of his age, unto the fourth year, he declared who he was, his words and works manifesting his Divinity; being neither owned, nor entertained by the Jewes, [Page 300]because of his voluntary poverty.
He was at last taken by these (when he had first instituted the Mystical Supper 8. of his body and blood, for a Seal of the New Covenant, and the remembrance of himself) carried to the Judgement-Seat of Pilate Governour of Caesarea, accused, and condemned, as an innocent Lamb; and being fastened upon a Cross, 9 he dyed, being sacrificed upon that Altar [...] for the sins of the world.
But when he had revived by his divine power, he arose again the third day out of the Grave, 10 and forty dayes after, being taken up from Mount Olivet 11. into Heaven 12. [Page 301]and returning thither whence he came, he vanished as it were, whilst the Apostles gazed upon him, 13. to whom he sent his Holy Spirit 14. from Heaven, the tenth day after his Ascension, and them being filled with this power, into the world, to preach of him; being henceforth to come again to the last Judgement, sitting in the mean time at the right hand of the Father, and interceding for us.
From this Christ we are called Christians, and are saved in him alone.
Mahomed 1. homo bellator, excogitabar sibi novam Religionem, mixtam ex Iudaismo, Christianismo, & Gentilismo, consilio Iudaei 2. & Monachi Ariani, 3. nomine Sergii; fingens, [Page 303] dum laboraret Epilepsiâ, secum colloqui Archangelum Gabrieiem, & Spiritum Sanctum, adsuefaciens Columbam, 4. ut ex aure suà escam peteret.
Asseclae ejus abstinent se à Vino; circumciduntur; sunt Polygami; exstruunt Sacella, 5. de quorum Turriculis, non à Campanis sed à Sacerdote 6. ad sacra convocantur; saepius se abluunt; 7. negant S S. Trinitatem; Christum honorant, non ut Dei Filium, sed ut magnum Prophetam, minorem tamen Mahomete; Legem suam vocant Alcoran.
Mahomet 1. a warlike Man, invented to himself a new Religion, mixed of, Judaism, Christianity, and Gentilism, by the advice of a Jew 2. and an Arian Monk, 3. named Sergius; feigning,[Page 303]whilst he had the fit of the falling sickness, that the Archangel Gabriel and the Holy Ghost talked with him, using a Pigeon, 4. to fetch meat out of his ear.
His Followers refrain themselves from Wine; are circumcised; have many wives; build Chapels, 5. from the Steeples whereof they are called to holy Service, not by Bells, but by a Priest 6. they wash themselves often; 7. they deny the Holy Trinity; they honour Christ, not as the Son of God, but as a great Prophet, yet lesse than Mahomet; they call their Law the Alcoran.
Humana Sortes, non tribuendae sunt Fortunae, aut Casui, aut Siderum Influxui, (Cometae 1. quidem solent nihil boni portendere) sed provido Dei Oculo 2. & ejusdem Manui rectrici; 3. [Page 305] etiam nostrae Prudentiae vel Imprudentiae, vel etiam Noxae.
Deus habet Ministros suos & Angelos, 4. qui Homini, 5. à nativitate ejus, se associant, ut Custodes, contra Malignos Spiritûs, seu Diabolum, 6. qui minutatim ei insidias struit, ad tentandum vel vexandum.
Vae dementibus Magis & Lamiis, qui Cacodaemoni se dedunt, (inclusi Circulo, 7. eum advocantes incantamentis) cum eo colludunt, & à Deo deficiunt! nam cum illo mercedem accipient.
Mens States, are to be attributed to Portune, or Chance, or the influence of the Stars (Comets 1. indéed are wont to portend no good) but to the provident Eye of God 2. and to his Governing Hand; 3. [Page 305]even our sights, or oversights, or even our Faults.
God hath his Ministers and Angels, 4. who accompany a Man 5. from his Birth, as Guardians, against wicked Spirits or the Devil, 6. who every minute layeth wait for him, to tempt and vex him.
Woe be to the mad wizzards and witches, who give themselves to the Devil (being enclosed in a Circle, 7. calling upon him with Charms) they dally with him, and fall from God! for they shall receive their reward wt him.
[Page 307] Nam adveniet Dies novissima, quae Voce Tubae 1. Mortuos 2. resuscitabit, & cum illis Vivos citabit ad Tribunal Iesu Christi, 3. (apparentis in Nubibus) ad reddendam rationem omnium actorum.
Ubi pii (justi) & Electi 4. in Vitam aeternam, in locum Beatitudinis & novam Hierosolymam introibunt: 5.
Impii verò & Damnati 6. cum Cacodaemonibus 7. in Gehennam 8. detrudentur, ibi aeternùm cruciandi.
[Page 307]For the last Day shall come, which shall raise up the Dead 2. with the sound of a Trumpet 1. and summon the quick with them to the Judgement-seat of Christ Jesus, 3. (appearing in the Clouds) to give an account of all things done.
When the Godly and Elect 4. shall enter into life eternal into the place of Bliss and the new Hierusalem; 5.
But the wicked and the damned 6. shall be thrust into Hell 8. with the Devils 7. to be there tormented for ever.
