depend in some part vpon the celestiall bodies is declared Besides this there are two other kindes of causes that doe change and destroy our bodies which doe grow from the superior Planets One kinde is that that is ingendred with vs and is therefore said to be Interne necessarie and ineuitable and they are in number three that is Drynesse which by the course of Age bringeth to death a daily wasting of substance or the great varietie and mobilitie of the matter in our bodies and the abundance of excrements Another kinde of them are which happen outward and therefore are called Externe of which the reason is said to be twofold for some of them are which doth not change or affect our bodies of necessitie for although when these things happen their hurt may be by vs auoyded notwithstanding there are some of them that our life may be safe without them They are such things which doe bruise hurt and wound our bodies which for the most part hapneth by some outward force as in the warres and other cases of Fortune as either being drowned or made away with poyson There are other things also which are said of necessitie to alter Mans body which although we may auoide particularly yet generally we cannot when we cannot liue without them These things I say doe destroy and ouerthrow the temperature constitution and naturall health of man if they be not rightly vsed as necessity and the state of the body requireth And those are those sixe things which are called not naturall which we will consider in particular which sixe things are placed in our power and election and they are of sixe kindes 1. The first is Ayre Water and Fire 2. The second is Meate and Drinke and all those things which are giuen the body for nourishment 3. The third is Motion and Rest both of the whole body as of euery part thereof 4. The fourth is Sleepe and Watchfulnesse 5. The fifth is Excretion or Expulsion of excrements or retention vnder which is contayned the opening of a veine Purgation Vomit auoyding of Urin Sweate Bathing the act of Generation and such like 6 The sixth are the Symptoms Perturbations Affections or Accidents of the minde such as are Feare Anger Sorrow Ioy and such like of which we will speak more afterwards These things being duely and rightly vsed doe conserue man in good health but vsed contrarily they destroy for as health doth consist in a meane and a mediocritie so also in a meane vse of things necessary it is conserued CHAP. II. Generall precepts to conserue the Health I Haue declared vnto you the chiefe causes through which the diuers mutations destructions and corruptions of our bodies doe arise Now on the contrarie I will declare vnto you also those things which if we vse them in right order and manner doe contayne the safetie of life restore health lost and diminish some kindes of diseases and expell them For this thing it is first needfull and requisite that you know certainely and be sure of that although the celestiall bodies doe exercise a certayne force and admirable vertue in the affaires of Man yet notwithstanding GOD Almightie the Worke-man and Creator of all Nature and Humane things being the Lord of Life and Death who hath the gouernement of all Inferior bodies that cannot be remoued but that he doth gouerne and rule the influence of all Stars and Planets and remoue the course and efficacy of them and likewise doth moderate all inclinations that grow from the Planets and oftentimes according to his great goodnesse doth turn away diseases and change them into better sometimes also according to his secret and iust iudgement for our sinnes to exasperate and turne them into worse For the diuine Maiestie is not in the Starres which the God-head hath framed for the profit and conseruation of mankinde neither is it inclosed within a certayne fatall necessitie as it were shut vp in prison but doth worke freely and as the chiefe cause doth gouerne and moderate all other causes This therefore eternall God the most louing Father of our Lord Iesus Christ which proroged the life of King Hazechias for fifteene yeeres is humbly to be prayed vnto daily that he would bestow vpon vs also a long and a safe life with a right constitution as well of body as strength of minde and to preserue the same for rightly is it said Astra valent aliquid plus pia vota valent Astra regunt mundum sed regit astra Deus Cedunt astra Deo precibus Deus ipse piorum Next when for our sinnes our bodies are affected with often and diuers kindes of diseases we must carefully striue that we gouerne the inclinations and wandering motions of our mindes and that we vse a bridle to our outward members and that we doe not only flye wickednesse but that we auoide the occasions also thereof It becommeth you my deare Sonnes to vse this diligence in the gouernement of your life and manners and chiefly to embrace true Religion and due obedience and loue to your Parents which if you shall doe God will in like manner as he hath promised in the Decalogue giue vnto you happinesse and long life for as S. Paul saith truely in the 1. of Tim. 4. Pietas ad omnia vtilis est c. Godlinesse is profitable vnto all things which hath the promise of the life present and of that that is to come the which in some manner was vnderstood by an Ethnick Zoroaster King of the Bactrians where he saith Qui mentem ardenum ad opus pietatis intenderit labile corpus seruabit and Cicero saith Pietatem esse matrem fundamentum omnium virtutum That Godlinesse is the mother and foundation of all vertues Secondly when it is said that the Starres be the working causes of destruction and mutation and the causes of diuers diseases in our bodies and whereas the obseruation of the celestiall effects is not forbidden I will that you take this care that as well the yeerly directions as the figures of your natiuity be obserued which I haue diligently and exactly computated I leaue to euery one of you which notwithstanding you shall examine without all superstition and shall be aduised by the iudgement of the learned Astrologians and Physicians that you may the better auoid the euill foreseene and the good things shall be brought to their wished euent for that is true which some doe affirme that coelum esse fatalem picturam in coel●sti tabula and very well was it said by Hipp. and Galen the Princes of Physicians that the Arte of physicke without the supportation of the Heauens to be oftentimes in vaine yea also oftentimes to be hurtfull This obseruation doth profit very much for the preseruation of the health and for the preuention of diseases therefore you must regard the more your naturall inclination with the greater vigilancy that you may bee the better able to gouerne your
