XI Moral Philosophy EThica is that Art which directs us how to act always conformably to right reason It s chief principle is this Do as you would be done by It teacheth us that God is our last end because he only is Bonum Sufficiens the Sufficient Good nothing else being able to content us It teacheth likewise that we can never love any thing but under the shew and appearance of Good whereof it offereth three sorts Honour Profit and Pleasure God alone is our Objective Beatitude or Happiness as they speak in the Schools our Formal Beatitude is that operation of the Mind by which we possess God which is the Intuitive Vision or Contemplation of God This Art sheweth that the Internal Principles of Humane Actions are either Natural as Powers or Acquired as Habits That the Understanding moves the Will to act and the Will our Understanding that a Habit being generated by the repetition of Acts giveth the Soul not the real power of acting but only enables it to act more easily Authors Aristotle Seneca Plato Cicero c. Sectio Undecima Ethica seu Moralis Philosophia HAEC ea est ars quae nos ad agendum in omnibus conformiter rectae rationi dirigit Primarium ipsius principium hoc est Quod tibi vis fieri alteri feceris Docet Deum esse ultimum nostrum finem quia ille solus est Bonum Sufficiens cum nihil aliud beatos nos efficere queat Docet pariter nihil nos amare posse nisi sub specie boni cujus triplex genus proponit Jucundum Utile Honestum Beatitudo nostra Objectiva ut loquuntur Scholae solus Deus est Formalis nostra Beatitudo est ea mentis operatio qua Deum possidemus Intuitiva scilicet Dei Visio Hic Habitus docet principia interna actionum humanarum aut esse nobis congenita cujusmodi sunt Potentiae aut acquisita cujusmodi sunt Habitus docet intellectum movere voluntatem ad agendum vice versa habitum actuum repititione productum animae tribuere non ipsam quidem agendi facultatem seu potentiam sed majorem quamdam facilitatem Authores Aristoteles Seneca Plato Cicero c. Sect. XII Geography GEography is the Description of the Earth and its chief Parts Because Geographers talk much of the Longitude and Latitude of a place 't is of some use to know what is meant by these two words The Longitude then of a place or its distance from the East is an Arch of the Equator intercepted between the Semicircle of the first Meridian and the Meridian of the place according to the order of the Signs The Latitude of a place or its distance from the Equinoctial line is the arch of the Meridian intercepted between the Equator and the place proposed being always equal to the elevation of the Pole which is the arch of the Meridian intercepted between the conspicuous Pole and the Horizon because the latitude of a place as likwise the height of the Pole together with the arch of the Meridian intercepted between the Pole the Zenith are equal to the fourth part of the Meridian or the Quadrant The whole World is now divided into four Parts Europe Asia Africa and America Europe is bounded towards the North by the Hyperborean Sea towards the West by the Atlantick Sea and the Herculean by the Streights of Gibraltar and by the Ocean towards the East by the Egean Sea the Hellespont Propontis Bosphorus Thracius the Streights of Caffa the Meotide Lake the River Tanais c. till you come to a little Town called ●uria from whence 't is bounded by a white line till you come to the White Sea The chief Parts of Europe are Germany Spain France Great Britain Switzerland the Low Countries Ireland Denmarck Norway Swedeland Poland Italy Croatia Sclavonia Dalmatia Albania Grecia Thracia Bulgaria Servia Bosnia Russia Hungaria Transylvania Asia is bounded towards the North by the Scythian Sea towards the East by the Sea called Eoum towards the South by the Indian Sea or the Red Sea towards the West by the Arabick Sreights and the Interne Sea Africa is joyn'd to Asia by an Isthme or a narrow piece of Ground dividing two Seas 'T is bounded by several Seas towards the East by the Red Sea towards the South by the Ethiopian Sea towards the West by the Atlantick Sea towards the North by the Interne Sea The chief Parts of Africa we reckon to be those following Barbary Biledulgeride Sarra the Countrey of the Negroes Egypt Ethiopia both superior and inferior the Kingdom of the Abyssins America was wholly unknown to the Antients till about the year 1492 it was discovered by Christopher Columbus a Genoese in
