III. WHen Celestial Efficient Causes are absent from inferior things they cannot act in sublunary Bodies unless by some instrumental Virtue by which they joyn near things under them or from those mixt Bodies Neither can there any Action be made upon the Subject because there is nothing near the Active Virtue neither can it produce the effect upon the Subject the efficient Cause being wanting and that this is sufficient to the producing of all the first four qualities by which is attained the universal kind of all natural Effects c. Now the Stars do accompany this Light by motion and we reject the hidden Influence as superfluous yea and impossible Secondly The principal Properties of the Stars are two viz. Intention and Extention the less is the Colours which may be found in the Stars by our S●nces neither from that are corruptible things made Stars for it has been said new appearances have made alteration in the Heavens which oftentimes yea more often the same are objected by us for colours may also be found in uncorruptible bodies Yea there is nothing to be 〈◊〉 which hath no● a Colour There are other properties in the Stars as the Form and Disposition Clearness Obscurity and their local motion is a certain Passion by which they apply to increase and deminish in light they rise set go back and sometimes seem near and sometimes far of Thirdly The Stars do not act nor suffer by turn altho' they receive light from the Sun yet from the proper cause of them they ●end a change ●…to us but they after their Action 〈…〉 upon 〈◊〉 Subject 〈◊〉 as they 〈◊〉 agree in their Actings and this shall suffice for all the 〈◊〉 of their Effects c. Fourthly Although the Stars by their Motions in the Heaven do change their Places and have the determinate Degree of intention and the definite quantity of the Extention of their Light they doe not act upon inferiours according to the true and real Intention and Extention of the Light which they have in themselves but onely according to their appearing when they come to those Bodies that are subject unto them wherefore the Stars Govern Sublunary things according to that degree of Intention only and the quality of Extention of Light by which they touch those passable Bodies but the lesser Intention and Extention are from whence there is the greatest distance of the Stars from subject things also they act according to that Extention which they cast forth as we may most Evidently see in the ☽ for they act according to their Scituation and Parallax upon the Bodies by which they pass the Eclipses which are not beheld have no Influence and new Appearances only act in those Places where they are seen their Effects are only there manifest and in what places the Stars rise not they have no Power Fifthly The Stars are certain indeterminate and universal causes to specificks and individual effects but they are determinated for the truth to whome they are Visible and of nearest cause as the ☉ makes wax soft clay hard a Worm white the Skin of Man black with a Man he begets a Man with a Lyon a Lyon. Sixthly The Stars cannot be Signs of Effect unless they be the Causes also wherefore Qustions may arise from the manner of the Antients that they have no places by Nature unless by chance in suddain Effects in which whilst they move the nearest causes of natural Effects they also move the parts organs and members of things under their influence In all things brought forth by Generation they give Form and Motion c. The present State of the Stars are forced to act their effects according to the preordinate and preexistant Power therefore they cause or incline and are not altogether Signs and Constellations when they are stirred up to act their Effects upon present things their Effects proceed from the like Causes of Preordination for unlike Causes cannot stir up to Action dislike preexistances according to the power of the Effects c. Seaventhly And that we may distinguish and know the Effects of singular Stars it is convenient to know the distinction natures and order of their Effects according to the Doctrine of the best of Phylosophers from the first principal qualities and mixtures are given the Matter and substantial Form all these we distinguish in the two first Ki●… the Passive or Feminine the Active or Masculine to 〈◊〉 first we alledg the matter the quantity and quality because it is Passive in all its Qualities from which flows moisture dryness thinness and thickness c. To the Masculine we attribute the substantial material Form because it is Active as light and heat cold tast smell and sound are the Active Virtues of Mixtures c. Eighthly The Virtues or Qualities of Mixtures are truly worthy of Admiration before the multitude Diversities and Effects thereof for we do not say they are Elementary neither to proceed from the Elements but are Celestial Qualities which have altogether their Being from the Celestial Light wherefore there are Elemental and Celestial Qualities of divers Kinds and although the Stars by turns produce elementary Qualities in Transmutation yet they produce also more powerful Qualities in those things which they are near as to the production of universal Mixtures We also say with Aristotle that altogether Celestial Qualities proceeds from the ☉ and ☽ agreeing as vital Heat and radical Moisture in Animals that so we cannot deny from the rest of the Stars from which is made such a distinction of divers Mixtures of
