nature to remaine whereby it may againe worke his former perfectio This is against corrupt nature as much as to sunder take apart wines from water after it is once mingled for no polluted thing entred into the substāce can afterwards be clensed from this polutio as the dye wil neuer be taken cleane out of the white cloath It is to be obserued that Christ in ministring the Sacrament of his blessed bodie and blood First he brake the bread and they cate it and then hee gaue the cuppe and all was done whilst he was really and personally amongst them It is vnnaturally holden that they did really and naturally cate his very flesh and drink his very blood This is against nature First it is against the nature of a Sacrament to be the thing which it representeth or for the thing signified to be the signifier or betokener of that which is signified Then it is against nature that Christ as he was very man being present and personally among them performing this office himselfe should at one instant be not be For as he was mā so was he local Now to deliuer himself to be caten and yet remaine in the same substace of and by himselfe at the same instant is against nature Besides that he should so exhaust or drawe his most precious blood that whē the bread which they intēd to be his real māly body was eatē there should bee therein no parte of his bloud and more that himselfe should be at one instant absolute man at the same instant see himselfe visibly caten with the teeth of men in distinct and senerall places This is against the nature of the manhoode and so against both For Sacraments are not miracles not natures to bee enanged Besides in miracles things did not at one and the same instant containe two seuerall natures nor one nature in two seuerall places as in the miracle at the mariage as long as the water remained water it was not wine and after it became wine it was no longer water neither was it wine and water all at one instant though turned in lesse then a moment neither was it water in two seuerall places nor wine in two places otherwise then by diuiding it into seuerall cupps or vessells I make bolde to giue a touch of this misterie which I holde to be of deeper consideration then mans reason can reach into which being a matter of spirit cannot be apprehended but by the eye of the same spirit hauing regard to the secōd life before spoken of Herein I obserue if men be so bold to rack and straine these great matters what is it that they will leaue vntempted in the lesse meaner cause In the cases of Alchemy there is some reason though the opinion thereof hath ouerthrowne many men for that they propone some matter to worke Althomy and some comse of nature for incorporating and increasing But such as will grasse on a dead stocke long seperated frō the earth a quicke grasse o● impe and expect that the same shall p●ooue a tree is deceiued for it is against nature Lakewise It any man will sowe egges in the ground or set corne vnder a hen hee will hardly finde either Chickens or haruest In such sort are the natures of things tide to then particular sorts and mea●●s of increase that necessine will enforce nature to vse her owne meanes and manner of increase or generation An example of an vnnaturall product Let vs proceed to an example There is an opinio that the earth would in time bring forth all the mettals that are in her bowels fully refined and pure without Phesies or drolle But either the curse hath so weakened her naturall heate or els she is not permitted her tune of bringing forth her brood which hath caused Arts to true conclusions If this be admitted what will follow of the next question In this case though time bee not agent nor the passiue part thereof yet you must giue this great belied Lumpe time to worke to persection and bring forth her great litter brood or spawne But it will be answered that Reason and Art hath found a meanes how to helpe Nature in this cause and to supply the defect of heate by fire for separating of the purer mettal from the ●●oile Admit this yet it must bee yeelded that these Mines were substa●●lly in the bowels of the earth who in time as is affirmed wold haue brought thē for th●so as Reason and Art had to work vpon And in this case you must likewise giue Art and Reason time to worke then effect and that by degrees and meanes so that Reason nor Art cannot worke but vpon substances and by meanes which in the ensuing example is not allowed Ther is great difference betweene the Theoricke Practicke part of any thing or between matter of bare imagination and conceipt and matters of substance and truth betweene words and actions for a man by contemplation may behold many thousand places in a moment and set down a thousand proportions in his minde in shorte time conceiue a iourney of ten thousand miles by Sea with all the bowings and turnings But come to action and you shall finde another worke and labour to performe it Aman may by conceipt and in figures set down ten thousand milliōs to be deuided betweene a hundreth thousand men but hee that shall come to action must haue mony in his purse words will buy no meate in the market neither will fantasie build Churches although it set down the proportion modell Contemplation conceit and art may plot set downe how or what to doe but substance matter and art must performe the action These words A thousand pounds written wil not pay one penny although Art hath found a way by letters to signifie or demonstrate such or any other sum Arte hath founde out by bills bonds and specialties to giue assurance for money but when it commeth to payment there must bee materiallie money or valuable matter to make satisfaction It belongeth to Art onely to proportion but essentiall money must make satisfaction By these it appeareth that God hath prouided substantial matters to passe from man to man or to be vsed by man And Reason hath found out Arts to proportion rate the same Besides this by the obseruations before remembred ther are sufficient things created to serue the turne of men in such liberall and plentiful fort as they shal not need any new inuention to create or raise benefite by fantasie imagination or any new sought deuise which wil deceiue like dreames they are like witchcrafts enchantments seeming good yet in truth abhominable Let vs in this poynt consider one maine principal vsage which nature nor Art can make to cohere with Reason And that is that money should produce and m●reale money I would in this case willingly know the father and mother of this newe 〈◊〉 ●ust let vs goe

ordained thereby to reproue his diuine prouidēce or imperfection Now then to drawe to an end of this work let vs compare the beginning with the end Reason I saide is an essentiall part of the soule The soule is immortall Therfore Reasō wil haue cōtinuance after this sensitiue life shall finish and is one of the principall parts that will discouer take knowledge and participate either of beatitude or misery of hell or heauen of saluation or perdition Is it not high time then that Reason which is in euery mans soule and that euery soule being endued with Reason seeing such huge cerruptions in the world as are in manner vnspeakable should now beginne to looke about to preuent these mischiefes and imminent miseries that dail hourely are like to worke his destruction Is it not time she should erect aschoole get Schoole-masters and Hushers to teach the daunger these creatures partakers of reaso are run into vnder which they are like to perish 〈◊〉 not good cause to discouer the difference between the sensitiue life and the immortall reasonable soule the shortnesse of these pleasures the euerlasting ioyes of heauen The differences of the Creatures hauing reason and those wanting And the vses of them all which no creature voyd of reason can looke into Is it not time she should go about to subdue keepe vnder all the sensitiues powers passions affections perturbations inuentions fantasies and counterfeite seeming pleasures of these her subiects to make them know themselues ●est by their stubbornnesse she be pulled out of her better kingdom wherof she is heire apparant appointed to raigne with her elder brother euen the Sonne of God Christ Iesus himselfe the onely possessor and owner of true perfect and vncorrupt Reason What a worlde is this to make more account of the iourney and trauel then of the mansion and dwelling house Well giue Queene Reason leaue to conclude with the solution of this one question A yong man is at his choyce whether he will be bound to serue certaine yeares and then to bee free or else to beefice for certaine yeares and euer after to be a bondman and in thraldom and misery I know this question will readily be answered It is better to smart once then ake euer and as long as there is hope of amendment so long the paines are not very bitter But when hope is past then the heart is broken Such as the state of man And such doth diuine Reason discouer to bee the state of euery man in respect of his double life man hath but a kinde of seruitude or apprentiship in this temporal or sensitiue life tyed to couenant seruices precepts conditions and commandements Which if he be carefull to obserue and keepe he shall doe more then marry his maisters daughter according to the phrase best preferment of merchants For he shall be then ioynt inheritor with his Maisters sonne and haue the fulnesse of freedome felicitie and happinesse in a hauen and harbour where no custome is to be payed no imposition no giuing nor taking of money vpon credite no ●ad n●r desperate debts no assurance for 〈◊〉 v●nor fraught of Ships no casting into prison ch●unes and yrons disquietnesse nor discontentment But on the contrary side if this present life bee spent in vaine vnhonest lewd vngodly execises practises employments without respect of performance of couenants commandements and bonds Then surely as the immortall life is much more precious then the mortall or more sensitiue so are the punishmēts more grieuous then the other And so much the more grieuous because Reason vnderstādeth there is a felicitie otherwise the torments of hell were nothing And for these causes doth Queene Reason perswade and intreat euery reasonable soule to enter into the closet of his owne conscience and heart to schoole informe and instruct himselfe concerning his owne good to be so charitable as to informe others thereof which she holdeth to be an office of charitable dutie And so to conclude if euery man will be his owne School●-maister instructor which she desireth her Academie will bee wonderfull large But principally shee aduiseth the learning and instruction of her Creator to be taught followed put in practise for thereby the number of Gods Saints will be mereased his glorie adaunced and his Triumphant kingdome replenished with the company of holy and reasonable soules after the sensitiue life ended which God grant for his
