of Heauens and she as manie points It is a verie Mart of silks sarcenets taffeties and satins al of Gingeline in graine because in fashion If the Rose excel in sauour which she professes not to vtter in her shop she vowes to be more loyal and constant to her Paramour then it She is so amourous dotes so much vpon him that she can not liue without his conuersation which she hath so much as she almost is turn'd and quite metamorphosied into him and now become already in the Garden what he is in his Zodiack the true and real flower of the Sun or Sun of Flowers as he himself the Sun of starres or that great Starre they cal a Sun It is the true Alferes of hearbs bearing vp the standard of Flora amidst the rest of flowers the Pharus to direct the Gardē-Nimphs whē they loose themselues in the labyrinth of flowrie knots or Maze of flowers the Beacon al on fire to giue warning to the rest of flowers of the arising of the Sun to beware of his parching rayes for feare of withering before their times It is euen the Daphne of flowers whom Phoehus followes al the day and if she fly she hath her eye on her shoulder to looke behind her as she runnes THE MORALS AD ME CONVERSIO EIVS PIctures likely are so framed that be you in the roome in anie part they wil seeme to look vpon you Looke where the Panther is in woods and forests there wil commonly other beasts resort to look and gaze vpon him whether it be the beautie of his spotted coat or sweetnes of his breath which attracts I know not but this is sure the effect is so as I haue heard The Turtle seemes to haue no eye but for his mate and where they sit togeather their eyes wil be as glued vpon each other The Pole that drawes the Needle to it the load-stone that attracts the iron the ieat that puls the fescue what is it el's but a natural instinct or Moral rather I may say of more then mutual loue that makes the one so powerfully to allure and the other to be so easie and wiling to be drawne This I am sure of Vertue is so specious and so goodlie a thing that it drawes the eyes of al to look vpon her and where they haue not harts to follow her faire steps yet wil they stand to gaze vpon her and admire at least The litle IESVS lying in the Crib like a Loadstone drew the Shepheards from their flocks Kings from their peoples a Starre from the rest of the fellowship of starres yea euen the Angels from the Heauens to sing a Gloria in excelsis vnto God and peace to men What trow you but a secret instinct that could be no lesse then Heauēlie and Diuine made so great a conuersion of Terrestrials and Celestials to a litle Infant And as for the Mother her self that held him in her lap the while she before sitting in her little Nazareth obscure drew so the eyes of the Almightie to her that He could not choose but so conuert himself vnto her as to descend and lodge within her and she truly say AD ME CONVERSIO EIVS THE ESSAY THE honour of our Gardens and the miracle of flowers at this day is the Heliotropion or Flower of the Sun be it for the height of its stem approaching to the heauens some cubits high or beautie of the flower being as big as a man's head with a faire ruff on the neck or for the number of the leaues or yellow vying with the marigold or which is more for al the qualities nature and properties of the Flower which is to wheel about with the Sun there being no Needle that more punctually regards the Poles then doth this Flower the glorious Sun For in the morning it beholds his rising in his iourney attends vpon him and eyeth him stil wheresoeuer he goes nor euer leaues following him til he sink downe ouer head and eares in Tethis's bed when not being able to behold him anie longer she droops and languishes til he arise and then followes him againe to his old lodging as constantly as euer with him it riseth with him it falles and with him riseth againe Nature hath donne wel in not affording it anie odour at al for with so much beautie and admirable singularities had there been odour infused therinto and the sweetnesse of odoriferous flowers withal euen men who are now half mad in adoring the same for its excellent guifts would then haue been stark mad indeed with doting vpon it But Nature it seemes when first she framed a pattern for the rest not being throughly resolued what to make it tree or flower hauing brought her workmanship almost vnto the top after a litle pause perhaps at al aduenture put a flower vpon it and so for haste forgot to put the Musks into it Whervpon to countervaile her neglect heerin the benigne Sol of meer regard and true compassion graced her by his frequent and assiduous looke with those golden rayes it hath And as the Sun shewes himself to be enamoured with her she as reason would is no lesse taken with his beautie and by her wil if by looks we may guesse of the wil would faine be with him But like an Estrich with its leaues as wings it makes vnprofitable offers to mount vp vnto him and to dwel with him but being tyed by the root it doth but offer and no more It is like the Scepter which the Payn●ms attribute to their Deitie that beares an Eye on the top while this flower is nothing els but an Eye set on the point of its stem not to regard the affayres of Mortals so much as to eye the Immortal Sunne with its whole propension the midle of which flower where the seed is as the white of the eye is like a Turkie-carpet or some finer cloth wrought with curious needle-work which is al she hath to entertaine her Paramour THE DISCOVRSE COuld there be deuised a more noble Symbol of our Incomparable LADIE then this flower regarding indeed the true Sunne 〈◊〉 Iustice whom she followed stil in the whol● course of her life vnto her death Therefore whom we haue already represented as a Rose Lillie and Violet let vs now contemplate as a true Heliotropion Compare we then first by certain Analogies the Sunne being the king of Planets with the Sunne of Iustice King of the Sunne and Planets and the Heliotropion with the Virgin Marie The Sun chief of Planets fils the earth with his influences the Sun of Iustice the world with the effects of his power The Sun of Planets is the First cause among the Seconds the Sun of Iustice the First before them al that trauerses al places this penetrates al harts that lends his light to the moon and starres this giues both life and being to al creatures The Sun the Planet is the origin of life the Sun of Iustice
