much_o more_o alkindus_n speak_v which_o for_o brevity_n sake_n we_o shall_v omit_v yet_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o we_o conceive_v can_v be_v denyable_a to_o no_o man_n that_o do_v but_o consider_v that_o he_o may_v smell_v many_o thing_n when_o he_o see_v they_o not_o and_o then_o we_o entreat_v you_o but_o sober_o to_o consider_v that_o if_o the_o beam_n and_o signature_n of_o herb_n and_o plant_n etc._n etc._n have_v their_o signification_n must_v not_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n have_v much_o more_o see_v they_o cause_v the_o variety_n and_o change_n of_o the_o

now_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o sun_n particular_o therefore_o we_o entreat_v you_o to_o consider_v 1._o that_o the_o sun_n give_v vital_a heat_n to_o the_o whole_a universe_n to_o all_o and_o every_o part_n of_o the_o creation_n by_o the_o celestial_a sun_n be_v the_o centrall_a sun_n in_o the_o earth_n kindle_v and_o also_o the_o microcosmicall_a sun_n in_o the_o body_n of_o man._n 2._o this_o sun_n by_o his_o vital_a heat_n quicken_v moisture_n heat_n and_o moisture_n so_o quicken_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o generation_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v breed_v by_o heat_n and_o moisture_n 3._o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o radical_a moisture_n come_v from_o the_o moon_n as_o we_o shall_v clear_o prove_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n yet_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o it_o come_v principal_o from_o she_o when_o she_o receive_v the_o full_a beam_n of_o the_o sun_n as_o be_v palpable_o and_o apparent_o see_v not_o only_o in_o all_o shell-fish_n but_o also_o in_o the_o marrow_n both_o of_o man_n and_o beast_n 4._o for_o as_o the_o sun_n when_o he_o be_v up_o enlighten_v all_o the_o hemisphere_n and_o this_o light_n depart_v again_o when_o he_o be_v down_o so_o our_o life_n remain_v so_o long_o as_o the_o celestial_a sun_n quicken_v the_o microcosmicall_a sun_n but_o when_o either_o the_o celestial_a sun_n fail_v in_o that_o office_n or_o else_o the_o vessel_n that_o hold_v the_o microcosmicall_a sun_n be_v break_v life_n depart_v and_o man_n die_v 5._o and_o this_o also_o be_v very_o agreeable_a to_o reason_n that_o the_o celestial_a fire_n shall_v have_v some_o centre_n from_o whence_o it_o shall_v quicken_v cherish_v inspire_v and_o move_v the_o creation_n it_o must_v have_v its_o place_n where_o he_o may_v keep_v his_o court_n like_o a_o king_n that_o so_o the_o son_n of_o wisdom_n real_a philosopher_n such_o as_o prefer_v a_o drachm_n of_o knowledge_n before_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n may_v be_v instruct_v where_o to_o go_v and_o how_o and_o which_o way_n by_o art_n to_o help_v nature_n in_o her_o operation_n therefore_o the_o eternal_a god_n in_o mere_a mercy_n to_o mankind_n fix_v its_o centre_n in_o the_o sun_n that_o so_o his_o creature_n which_o fear_v he_o and_o hate_v covetousness_n when_o they_o want_v vital_a heat_n to_o quicken_v either_o themselves_o or_o their_o operation_n they_o may_v know_v where_o to_o fetch_v it_o if_o they_o know_v but_o how_o and_o that_o they_o may_v easy_o know_v if_o they_o do_v but_o know_v themselves_o it_o be_v not_o for_o nothing_o that_o wise_a greek_a so_o often_o exhort_v man_n to_o know_v themselves_o 5._o we_o shall_v be_v yet_o a_o little_a plain_o with_o you_o do_v but_o serious_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o common_a operation_n of_o the_o sun_n viz._n how_o in_o winter_n he_o prepare_v the_o earth_n for_o spring_n in_o spring_n how_o he_o prepare_v it_o for_o summer_n in_o summer_n how_o he_o prepare_v it_o for_o autumn_n and_o in_o autumn_n how_o he_o prepare_v it_o for_o winter_n nay_o do_v but_o note_v how_o dayes-labour_n prepare_v a_o man_n for_o night-sleep_n and_o night-sleep_n for_o dayes-labour_n heed_n but_o this_o with_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n for_o plain_a than_o this_o thou_o shall_v never_o be_v teach_v 7._o take_v notice_n that_o all_o operation_n be_v perfect_v by_o the_o sun_n not_o upon_o a_o sudden_a but_o by_o degree_n and_o require_v time_n and_o patie_n ce_fw-fr you_o see_v the_o sun_n make_v it_o day_n by_o degree_n and_o change_v the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n by_o degree_n and_o that_o be_v the_o the_o reason_n all_o sudden_a change_n be_v averse_a to_o nature_n 8._o the_o celestial_a sun_n cause_v the_o heliocentricall_a motion_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o all_o the_o planet_n the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n upon_o her_o own_o axis_n be_v cause_v by_o the_o terrestrial_a sun_n 9_o both_o celestial_a and_o terrestrial_a sun_n join_v in_o the_o generation_n of_o thing_n upon_o earth_n neither_o can_v there_o be_v any_o generation_n without_o both_o this_o will_v appear_v clear_a to_o you_o if_o you_o do_v but_o consider_v that_o the_o vital_a spirit_n of_o all_o seed_n proceed_v from_o the_o celestial_a sun_n but_o yet_o they_o must_v be_v set_v in_o the_o earth_n that_o so_o they_o may_v take_v the_o influence_n of_o the_o terrestrial_a sun_n that_o so_o they_o may_v grow_v and_o bring_v forth_o their_o increase_n last_o the_o celestial_a sun_n be_v in_o the_o creation_n like_o a_o mighty_a prince_n in_o a_o kingdom_n only_o he_o be_v neither_o tyrannical_a nor_o covetous_a nor_o
