knowe the trouthe of alle suche thynge that is bynethe here on therthe by reson of nature whether the thynge were obscure and derke or not ¶ Of the vertu of heuen and of the sterres Caplo. viijo. NOw wylle ye here of the science by the whiche men gete sapience for to knowe and enquyre the thinges that may happen in therthe by the werker of right nature whiche is fygured by the world The heuenes and the sterres ben the very instrumēts of nature to the world by whiche she werketh alle as god wylle as wel nygh as ferre and who that coude knowe her myght he had knowlege of alle thyng that sayd is as wel of the sterres that ben on heuen whiche haue vertueson therthe whiche god hath gyuen and graunted to euerich specyally to the sonne to the mone whiche gyue lyght vnto the world wythout whom nothyng lyuyng may be For by them growe alle thynges that be in this world and whiche haue ende and begynnyng this consenteth and permyseth he that is almyghty Alle dyuersitees that be in persones and whiche haue dyuersitees of makyng and of corsage and alle that happeth by nature be it in herbes in plantes or in beestes this happeth by the vertue celestyal whiche god gaf to the sterres Whan he first created the world And that he sette them endowed them wyth suche nature that he ordeyned them to goo roūd aboute the world ayenst the tornyng of the firmament And by their tornyng and by their vertu whiche lyeth in heuen lyue alle thynges that ben vnder it And yf it pleasyd our lord that he wold holde the heuen all stylle in suche wyse that it torned not aboute ther is nothing in alle the world that myght meue him In hym shold be no vnderstondyng nomore than in a dede body whiche feleth nothyng ne therin is no wytte ne vnderstandyng ne moeuyng as he that hath no lyf in suche poynt shal euery thynge be whan the heuen shal leue his moeuyng Alle thus shold they be and neuer moeue tyl that the heuen had agayn his moeuyng And thenne shold they be otherwyse but who that thenne myght vse his wytte se what he shal be moche myght he see of semblaūces of dyuerse contenaūces in other men that myght not remeue them For yf ther were no meuyng on the heuen ther is nothyng that myght lyue on erthe Also god wyl that it so be that all thyng hath establysshid by right Thus was the wylle of god in whom alle vertues habounde for to fourme the world For he made ne created neuer thynge but that he gaf to it suche vertue as it ought to haue ellis he had made somthyng for nought without reson but he dyde not so for he neuer faylled in no thynge he made and created alle the sterres gaf to euerich his vertue who that wyll not byleue thus In him is nether memoyre ne reson For we see openly that the mone taketh lyght whan we see her all full for the man hath thenne neyther membre ne vayne but that it is full whan it is in the cours of humours and suche thynges in lyke wyse it happeth on alle bestes For they haue thenne their hedes and other membres more garnysshid of margh of humeurs And the see also floweth ebbeth in his cours euery moneth wherof it happeth that they that ben nygh the see whan they knowe that the mone is ful they wythdrawe them fro the see on hye And saue them they re meynage and in this poynt they wythdrawe them and holde them in hye places vnto the tyme that the see wythdraweth and lasseth agayn And thus do they euery moneth But alle this happeth by the mone whiche is one of the seuen planetes In lyke wyse is it seen of the sonne that after the wynter whan he begynneth to mounte he causeth the fruyt to be brought forth of therthe and appparylleth the trees wyth leues and alle verdure to come agayn And the byrdes begynne agayn their songe for the swetenes of the new tyme And whan he rebasshith and declyneth he maketh the wynter to begynne and causeth flowres and leuis to falle and falle so longe tyl he begynne to mounte agayn as to fore is sayd Syth that thyse two sterres haue suche vertues and cause suche thynges to be don The other whiche ben pourtrayed on the heuen were not made to serue of nought But to eueriche is ordeyned his vertue and his right after his nature Wherfore they make dyuersitees in thynges that ben on therthe And the moeuynges of tyme of whiche that one cometh soone and that other late And the fruytes that come on therthe Somme come sone and erly and the other late and ben otherwhyle sooner rype in one yere that in an other And more assured of tempestes other greuaunces And thus chaunge in sondry maners For one somer is softe and moyste And another is drye and wyndy Of the wynter it happeth oftymes that they chaūge so that one is colde rayny and more desplaysaunt than the other And another shal be more Ioyous lasse damageable Thus is seen that the one is dere of somme vytaylle or other thynges And that other shal be plentyuous And also it is ofte that ther is plente and good chepe in one yere In another yere it is had in grete chierte and is of grete scarset● this fallyth somtyme and ofte Alle thyse dyuersytees cause the sterres whiche ben on the heuen But alle this is by the wylle of our lord that hath sette eeueriche in his propre place where he maketh naturelly his cours and euerich dyuersly For yf none other thynge had his vse in tymes sauf the sonne only wythout moo as he that goth swyftly by the firmament euery yere And mounteth as moche and as hye in one somer as in another And as moche descendeth in one wynter as in another euery day egally tyl that he come in to his right poynt And Ioyneth that other after hym where he was to fore this knowe well Astronomyers that he gooth euery yere aboute the heuen one torne And where he is this day in the same place he shal be this day a yere Ther by is it knowen that if none other hath no power thēne shold euery yere be lyke other euery yere alway shold be lyke as the yere to fore was and euery moneth shold be lyke the same as eueriche shold come that is to wyte one Ianyuer lyke another Ianyuer and feuerer lyke another feuerer and in lyke wyse alle the other x. moneths For the sonne gooth alle lyke in one moneth As he shal the next yere in the same moneth And this day sholde reassemble and be lyke vnto this day a yere in alle maner thynge that is to wete of hete of colde of fair wether of rayne and of other thinges euerich after their comyng all the yere duryng Thēne sholde it falle by
