follow in the week is quite different from that which they observe in Heaven for according to the disposition of their Spheres Jupiter is immediately below Saturn Mars below Jupiter the Sun under Mars Venus according to the vulgar opinion beneath the Sun Mercury below Venus and in fine the Moon the lowest of all beneath Mercury But in the order of the week Sunday called the day of the Sun comes after Saturday which is the day of Saturn in the room of Thursday the day of Jupiter and Monday the day of the Moon follows the day of the Sun instead of Friday the day of Venus likewise instead of Saturday or the day of Saturn which according to the Planets order should follow the Munday or the day of the Moon they reckon Tuesday the day of Mars and after Tuesday comes Wednesday the day of Mercury instead of Thursday the day of the Sun and so forth Whereby it doth appear that the disposition of the Planets in the days of the week is very different from the order and situation of their Orbs. But the Ancients having not only committed the days but also the hours of each day to the care of some Planet 't is very likely that the day was called by the name of the Planet that had the direction of the first hour Wherefore Saturday or the day of Saturn was thus called because the first hour of that day was under the direction of Saturn and as the following hours came on successively under the power of the following Planets the second hour was for Jupiter who immediately followed Saturn the third was for Mars the fourth for the Sun the fifth for Venus the sixth for Mercury and the seventh for the Moon and afterwards the eighth hour return'd under the power of Saturn and according to the same order the same Planet Saturn had still the fifteenth and the two and twentieth hours under his direction and by consequence the three and twentieth hour was under the command of Jupiter and the four and twentieth viz. the last hour of the day was found under the direction of Mars So that the first hour of the following day came under the dominion of the Sun who consequently gave his name to the second day and following always the same order to the eighth the fifteenth and the two and twentieth hour did always belong to the Sun the twenty third to Venus and the last to Mercury wherefore the first hour of the third day appertained to the Moon called for that reason the day of the Moon to which also was referr'd the eighth the fifteenth and the two and twentieth hours of the same day and therefore the twenty third hour was ascribed to Saturn for from the Moon we must return again to Saturn and the last to Jupiter from whence the first hour of the fourth day was found under the direction of Mars who gave also his name to the day as also the eighth the fifteenth and the two and twentieth and consequently the twenty third hour belonged to the Sun the twenty fourth to Venus and the first of the fifteenth day to Mercury and so forth following the same order whereby we see the origine and the necessary series of the names given to the days of the week and the reason why the day of the Sun comes after the day of Saturn viz. Sunday after Saturday the day of the Moon after the day of the Sun or Monday after Sunday the day of Mars after the day of the Moon or Tuesday after Monday Wednesday after Tuesday then Thursday Friday and at last Saturday and so of all the rest There is still another ingenious reason that might be given for these denominations of days for the names of the Planets given to the days of the week follow one another in proportion with the musical harmony called in Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which was the Origne and principle of all the good harmony of the Antients the nature whereof consists betwixt two tones of four voices or three intervals or sounds different one from another wherefore there are always two silent tones betwixt both And 't is likely that the Ancients to leave us some idea of this admirable Musick have disposed the days of the week which follow one another according to their musical harmony wherefore the Planet which comes immediately after another leaves two others behind which are silent viz. after Saturn comes the Sun leaving Jupiter and Mars and after the Sun follows the Moon over-running Venus and Mercury after the Moon appears Mars after Mars Mercury without mentioning either the Sun or Venus after Mercury Jupiter without reckoning either the Moon or Saturn next to Jupiter Venus leaving Mars and the Sun and the last of all next to Venus comes Saturn and by this perpetual revolution we know why Sunday the day of the Sun follows Saturday the day of Saturn and why after Sunday comes Monday c. HEBDOMAS The name of an Orator mentioned by Lucian who once a week gave a play-day to his Scholars and play'd himself wanton tricks among the people as School-boys do upon Holy-days HEBE The Daughter of Jupiter and Juno or of Juno alone without the knowledge of a Man for Apollo having once invited her to a Feast the Fable tells us that she eat such a quantity of Lettice to cool her self that she got a great Belly and was brought to bed of Hebe a Girl of an extraordinary beauty who was in Heaven Jupiter's Cup-bearer After Hercules was taken up among the Gods he married her The Ancients took Hebe for the Goddess of Youth and consecrated to her several Temples The Corinthians offer'd her Sacrifices in a Grove which served for a place of Refuge to all the Malefactors who repaired thither and freed men tied to the Trees their chains and other marks of bondage This Goddess was represented by the Image of a young Girl crowned with Flowers HECATE A Divinity of Hell Writers report her birth variously Orpheus tells us that she is the Daughter of Jupiter and Ceres others say that she is the Daughter of Jupiter and Asteria and Apollodorus's opinion is that Hecate Diana the Moon and Proserpina are all one and the same wherefore they call her triple Hecate or the Goddess with three heads being the Moon in Heaven Diana on Earth and Proserpina or Hecate in Hell She was called Trivia because her Image was set up in cross-ways either because of the noise that was made in the night to imitate the howling of Ceres seeking after Proserpina or because she was the Moon in Heaven and Diana on Earth and Proserpina or Hecate in Hell as the Scholiast of Aristophanes reports Hecaten coluere antiquitus in trivies propterea quod eandem Lunam Dianam Hecaten vocarent Servius tells us the same thing upon this Verse of Virgil Nocturnisque Hecaten triviis ululata per urbes She was represented with a dreadful countenance her Head attired
