IOHN HARVEY wisheth long health and continuall increase of all prosperitie MAy it please you Right worshipfull Sir after some respite from so great businesse as your Honorable circuit carrieth with it to accept fauourablie of the affectionate minde of a yong scholler I will presume in stead of the best well-come-home that my poore study can presently afoord to present your good woorship with a briefe Astrologicall exercise which I lately vndertoke vppon this occasion Hauing sundry times perused the Astrologicall discourse touching the great Coniunction of Saturne Iupiter published the laste Ianuary by my brother Richard and therein noting by the way some wante of certaine necessarie 〈◊〉 profitable Iudicials which seemed con●●nient to be added for the more expres and particular discussing of some pointes generally and that diligently too by him considered but not so narrowly and precisely examined as they might haue been which was not my opinion only but the iudgement of some his learned welwillers and great commenders otherwise I resolued in the end to ease him of that labour knowing himselfe to bee otherwise busied vpon more special and necessary occasion Which I was the more willing to enterprize for these foure causes First to satisfie the demaunds and desires of those his lerned friendes then to stoppe the mouthes of his enuious carping enemies thirdly to benefit such of our Coūtrey generally as by prouidence are desirous to worke their owne commoditie and safetie and last of all to practise my selfe particularlie in such an exercise as was so profitable for an Vniuersitie man so conuenient for a Student in Philosophy the Mathematicks and finally so agreeable to that studie and profession whereunto partly by my naturall disposition I was inclyned and partly vpon farther aduise of my friendes and some priuate consultation of mine owne I had wholy betaken and as it were betroathed my selfe Besides which causes the verie worthines and dignitie of the Arte it selfe not only in respect of the high and heauenly matter or obiect thereof according to the diuine verses of Doctor Antony Myzaldus Semine caelesti satamens caelestia quaerit Semina And so foorth But also euen for the other three Logike causes the efficient the forme and the end or finall cause might as wel commend this exercise vnto me as it hath done many the like nay many for all excellencie both of qualitie and quantitie farre vnlike vnto other manner of men then I either presently am or am euer like to be For the first author and principall efficient what enemie to Astrologie can deny but God him selfe posuit duo magna luminaria stellas in firmamento caeli as Moyses writeth in the beginning of Genesis Why vt diuiderent diem ac noctem essent in signa tempora dies annos In quae signa nimirum in signa naturalium euentuum vt futurae pestilentiae belli pacis penuriae abundantiae caeterorúmque similium physicorum effectuum as a learned wryter very well in my simple iudgement expoundeth that place of Moyses Besides who knoweth not that all good giftes and all good artes descend from aboue and had their originall from the father of light Whereupon Melancthon in his preface to Purbachius his Astrologicae Theoricae not only concludeth generally of all liberall Artes Cum Artes Dei munus sint non defuturus est Deus his qui ipsius dona tuentur conseruare student with this comfortable addition Erunt fatae ipsa aliquando Artibus aequiora but also particularlie inueigheth against all such Epicures and contemners as set them selues against the most heauenly and diuine knowledge of Astrologie In which Inuectiue he is so earnestly bent against them that he breaketh foorth into these vehement speeches Epicureos illos qui neque pulcherrimos motus caelestium corporum admirantur neque cognitionem eorum vtilem esse contendunt ne hominum quidem appellatione dignos esse iudico His reason is Etenim non solum bellum gerunt cum humana natura quae praecipue ad has diuinas res aspiciendas condita est sed etiam 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 sunt Voluit enim Deus horum mirabilium Cursuum ac caelestium virium notitiam ducem nobis esse ad diuinitatis cognitionem And againe shortlie after he addeth Haec si quis arroganter conteninit naturae suae immanitatem prodit non aliter atque Cyclops apud Homerum qui negat se vllos vereri Deos. So that Melancthon is not afraide to condemne them euen for Epicures and Atheistes that condemne this most goodly and godly Science And as for our secundarie Authors and founders what two more famous Princes amongst the auncient Aegyptians and Romanes then Hermes Trismegistus and Numa Pompilius Or what two more excellent kinges amongst the later Aegyptians and Aragonians then Ptolomey and Alphonsus The rest for breuitie I ouerpasse sauing that I must not omitte the poets honorable testimonie as well of them as of the forenamed Faelices animae quibus haec cognoscere primum Inque domos superas scandere cura fuit Credibile est illos pariter vitijsque iocisque Altius humanis exeruisse Caput And so forward till at last he geueth them this marueylous commendation taken from their marueylous effectes Admouere oculis distantia sydera nostris Aetheraque ingenio supposuere suo Now if we consider either the internall forme of the Arte it selfe or the externall forme of our cheefest
