Frier BACON HIS DISCOVERY OF THE MIRACLES Of ART NATVRE And MAGICK Faithfully translated out of Dr Dees own Copy by T. M. and never before in English LONDON Printed for Simon Miller at the Starre in St Pauls Church-yard 1659. THE TRANSLATOR TO THE READER A Prejudicate eye much lessens the noblenesse of the Subject Bacons name may bring at the first an inconvenience to the Book but Bacons ingenuity will recompence it ere he be solidly read This as an Apology is the usher to his other Workes which may happily breath a more free Air hereafter when once the World sees how clear he was from loving Negromancy 'T was the Popes smoak which made the eyes of that Age so sore as they could not discern any open hearted and clear headed soul from an heretical Phantasme The silly Fryers envying his too prying head by their craft had almost got it off his shoulders It 's dangerous to be wiser than the multitude for that unruly Beast will have every over-topping head to be lopped shorter lest it plot ruine or stop the light or shadow its extravagancies How famous this Frier is in the judgment of both godly and wise men I referre you to the Probatums of such men whose single Authorities were of sufficiency to equallize a Jury of others and as for the Book I refer it to thy reading As for my self I refer me to him whom I serve and hope thou wilt adore THE JUDGMENT OF Divers Learned Men CONCERNING Fryer BACON IO. Selden de Diis Syris Sintag 1. r. 2 7.25 That singular Mathematician learned beyond what the Age he liv'd in did ordinarily bring forth Roger Bacon an Oxford man and a Fryer minorite The Testimony of Gabriel Powel in his Book of Antichrist in Preface p. 14. Roger Bacon an Englishman a founded Scholar of Merton-Colledg in Oxford a very quick Philosopher and withall a very famous Divine he had an incredible knowledge in the Mathematicks but without Necromancy as John Balleus doth report although he be defam'd for it by many Now this man after he had sharply reproved the times wherein he liv'd these Errours saith he speak Antichrist present Nicholas the Fourth Pope of Rome did condemn his Doctrine in many things and he was by him kept in prison for many years together as Antonine hath it in his Chronicle He flourished in the year of our Lord 1270. John Gerhard Vossius in his Book of the four Popular Arts printed at Amsterdam 1650. is every where full of the praises of Bacon as in the year 1252. About these mens time Roger Bacon also flourished an Englishman and a Monk of the Order of St. Francis who as he had div'd into all Arts and Sciences so also he writ many things of them he was a man both learned and subtil unto a Miracle and did such wonderfull things by the help of Mathematicks that by such as were envious and ignorant he was accused of Diabolical Magick before Pope Clement the 4th and for that cause was detained in prison by him for some time Jo. Pecus Earl of Mirandula the Phenix of all the wits of his Age cals him likewise very ingenious Moranlicus also commends highly his Opticks He was buried at Oxford in the Monastery of the Monks of his own Order anno 1284.

Roger Bacon a Franciscan Monk and a Divine of Oxford was famous amongst the English in all sort of Sciences a man of so vast learning that neither England no nor the world beside had almost any thing like or equal to him â—nd either by envy or ignorance of the Age wherein he lived was accused of Magick He in the mean time did write and recommend to the Memory of Posterity a Book of Weights of the Centers of heavy things of the Practicks of Natural Magick c. For he was a man well vers'd in all sorts of study very learned in the Latine Greek and Hebrew Tongues a Mathematician every way accomplisht and very skilfull both in Philosophy Physick Law and Divinity THE CONTENTS Of the Several Chapters Chap. 1.

Read The like never before in the English Tongue To be sold at the Starre in St Pauls Church-yard A LETTER SENT BY Frier ROGER BACON TO VVilliam of Paris Concerning both The Secret Operation OF NATURE ART As also The Nullity of Magick CHAP. I. Of and against fictitious Apparences and Invocation of Spirits THat I may carefully render you an answer to your desire understand Nature is potent and admirable in her working yet Art using the advantage of nature as an â—nâ—trument experience tels us is of greater efficacy than any natural activity Whatsoever Acts otherwise than by natural or artificial means is not humane but meerly fictitious and deceitfull We have many men that by the nimblenesse and activity of body diversification of sounds exactness of instruments darkness or consent make things seem to be present which never were really exâ—stent in the course of Nature Tâ—â— world as any judicious eye may see groans under such bastard burdens Jugleâ— by an handsome sleight of hand will put a compleat lie upon the very sighâ—â— The Pythonissae sometimes speaking from their bellies otherwhile from the throat than by the mouth do create what voices they please either speaking at hand or farre off in such a manner as if a Spirit discoursed with a man and sometimes as though Beasts bellowed which is all easily discovered by private laying hollow Canes in the grasse or secreâ— places for so the voices of men will be known from other creatures When inanimate things are violently moved either in the Morning or Evening twilight expect no truth therein but down-right cheating and cousenage As for consent men by it may undertake any thing they please if so be they `have a mutual disposition These I mention as practices wherein neither philosophical Reasons Art or power of Nature is prevalent Beyond these there is a more damnable
