But Phineas Grand-child of Aaron perhaps out of extraordinary Grace may be collected to have lived three hundred yeares If so be the War of the Israelites against the Tribe of Benjamin In which Expedition Phineas was consulted with were performed in the same order of Time in which the Historie hath ranked it He was a Man of a most Eminent Zeale Ioshua a Martiall Man and an excellent Leader and evermore victorious lived to the Hundred and Tenth yeare of his Life Caleb was his Contemporany And seemeth to have beene of as great yeares Ehud the Judge seemes to have beene no lesse than an hundred years old In regard that after the Victory over the Moabites the Holy Land had rest under his Government eightie yeares He was a Man Fierce and undaunted And one that in a sort neglected his Life for the good of his People 4 Iob lived after the Restauration of his Happinesse an Hundred and Fortie yeares Being before his Afflictions of that Age that he had sons at Mans Estate A Man Politick Eloquent Charitable and the Example of Patience Eli the Priest lived Ninetie eight yeares A corpulent Man Calme of disposition and Indulgent to his children But Elizeus the Prophet may seeme to have died when he was above an hundred yeares old For he is found to have lived after the Assumption of Elias sixty yeares And at the Time of that Assumption he was of those yeares that the Boyes mocked him by Name of Bald-head A Man vehement and severe and of an Austere life and a Contemner of Riches Also Isaiah the Prophet seemeth to have beene an Hundred years old For he is found to have exercised the Function of a Prophet Seventie yeares together The yeares both of his Beginning to Prophecie and of his Death being uncertain A Man of an Admirable Eloquence An Evangelicall Prophet Full of the Promises of God of the New Testament as a Bottle with sweet Wine 5 Tobias the Elder lived an Hundred fifty eight yeares The younger an Hundred twenty seven Mercifull Men and great Almes-Givers It seemes in the time of the Captivitie many of the Iewes who returned out of Babylon were of great yeares Seeing they could remember both Temples there being no lesse than seventie yeares betwixt Them And wept for the unlikenesse of Them Many Ages after that in the Time of our Saviour lived old Simeon to the Age of Ninetie yeares A Devout Man and full both of Hope and Expectation Into the same time also fell Anna the Prophetesse who could not possibly bee lesse than an Hundred yeares old For shee had been seven yeares a Wife About eighty foure yeares a Widow Beside the yeares of her Virginitie And the time that she lived after her Prophecie of our Saviour Shee was an Holy Woman And passed her dayes in fastings and Prayers 6 The Long Lives of Men mentioned in Heathen Authors have no great certaintie in Them Both for the Intermixture of Fables whereunto those kind of Relations were very prone and for their false Calculation of yeares Certainly of the AEgyptians we finde nothing of Moment in those workes that are extant as touching Long Life For their Kings which reigned longest did not exceed fifty or five and fiftie yeares which

A wise Man and a great Deliberatour and in all his proceedings Moderate and not without Affabilitie severe Masinissa King of Numidia lived ninetie yeares And being more than eightie five got a Sonne A Daring Man and trusting upon his Fortune who in his youth had tasted of the Inconstancie of Fortune But in his succeeding Age was constantly Happy But Marcus Porcius Cato lived above ninetie yeares of Age A man of an Iron Body and Minde Hee had a bitter Tongue and loved to cherish factions Hee was given to Husbandry And was to Himselfe and his Family a Physician 13 Terentia Cicero's wife lived an hundred and three yeares A woman afflicted with many Crosses First with the Banishment of her Husband Then with the Difference betwixt them Lastly with his last Fatall Misfortune Shee was also oftentimes vexed with the Gout Luceia must needs exceed an hundred by many yeares For it is said That shee acted an whole hundred yeares upon the stage At first perhaps representing the person of some young Girle At last of some Decrepit old Woman But Galeria Copiola A Player also and a Dancer was brought upon the Stage as a Novice in what yeare of her Age is not knowne But ninetie nine yeares after at the Dedication of the Theater by Pompey the Great shee was shewne upon the Stage againe Not now for an Actresse but for a Wonder Neither was this all For after that in the 〈◊〉 for the Health and Life of Augustus she was shewne upon the Stage the third time 14 There was another Actresse somewhat Inferiour in Age but much Superiour in Dignity which lived well-neare ninety yeares I meane Livia lulia Augusta wife to Augustus Cesar and Mother to Tiberius For if Augustus his Life were a play As himselfe would have it when as upon his Death-bed hee charged his Frineds they should give him a Plaudite after hee was Dead certainly this Lady was an excellent Actresse who could carry it so well

will then best be done if you make a Collection of all the Differences both in the State and Functions of the Body 〈◊〉 Youth and Old Age That by them you may observe what it is that produceth such manifeld Effects let not this Inquisition be omitted 16 Inquire diligently touching the Differences in the State of the Body and Faculties of the Minde in Youth and old Age And whether there bee any that remaine the same without Alteration or 〈◊〉 in old Age. Nature Durable and Not Durable The Historie MEtals are of that long lasting that Men cannot trace the Beginnings of them And when they doe decay they decay through Rust not through Perspiration into Aire Yet Gold decayes neither way 2 Quick-silver though it bee an Humide and Fluide Body And easily made volatile by Fire yet as farre as wee have observed by Age alone without Fire it neither wasteth nor gathereth Rust. 3 Stones especially the harder sort of them and many other Fossiles are of long lasting And that though they be exposed to the open Aire Much more if they bee buried in the Earth Notwithstanding Stones gather a kinde of Nitre which is to them in stead of Rust. Precious Stones and Crystals exceed Metals in long Lasting But then they grow dimmer and lesse Orient if they be very old 4 It is observed that Stones lying towards the North doe sooner decay with Age than those that lie towards the South And that this appeares manifestly in Pyramids and Churches and other ancient Buildings Contrariwise in Iron that exposed to the South gathers Rust sooner And that to the North later As may be seene in the Iron Barres of windowes And no marvell seeing in all Putrefaction as Rust is Moisture hastens Dissolution In all simple Arefaction Drinesse 5 In Vegetables wee speak of such as are feld not Growing the stocks or Bodies of harder Trees and the Timber made of them last dive Ages But then there is Difference in the Bodies of Trees Some Trees are in a 〈◊〉 Spongie as the Elder In which the pith in the Midst is sost and the outward part harder But in timber trees as the Oake the inner part which they call Hart of Oake lasteth longer 6 The Leaves and Flowers and Stalks of Plants are but of short Lasting But dissolve into Dust unlesse they putrifie the Roots are more durable 7 The Bones of living Creatures last long as we may see it of mens Bones in charnell Houses Hornes also last very long so doe Teeth as it is seene in Ivorie and the Sea horse Teeth 8 Hides also and Skins endure very long as is evident in old Parchment Books paper likewise will last many Ages though not so long às Parchment 9 Such Things as have possed the Fire last long as Glasse and Bricks Likewise Flesh and Fruits that have passed the fire last longer than Raw And that not onely because the Baking in the Fire forbids putrefaction But also because the watrie Humour being drawne forth the oyly Humour supports it selfe the longer 10 Water of all Liquors is soonest drunk up by Aire Contrariwise Oyle latest which wee may see not onely in the Liquors themselves But in the Liquors mixt with other Bodies For Paper wet with water and so getting some Degree of Transparency will soone after wax white and loose the Transparencie again the watrie vapour exhaling But oiled Paper will keepe the Transparencie long the 〈◊〉 not being apt to exhale And therefore they that counterfeit Mens Hands will lay the oiled Paper upon the writing they meane to counterfe 〈◊〉 and then assay to draw the lines 11 Gummes all of them last very long The like doe Wax and Honey 12 But the Equall or Vnequaliuse of Things conduceth no lesse to long Lasting or short Lasting than the Things themselves For Timber and Stones and other Bodies standing continually in the Water or continually in the Aire last longer than if they were sometimes wet sometimes drie And so Stones continue longer if they be layed towards the same coast of Heaven in the Building that they lay in the Mine The same is of Plants removed if they be coasted just as they were before Observations 1 LEt this be laid for a Foundation which is most sure That there is in every Tangible Body a Spirit or Body Pneumaticall enclosed and covered with the Tangible parts And that from this Spirit is the Beginning of all Dissolution and Consumption so as the Antidote 〈◊〉 them is the Detaining 〈◊〉 this Spirit 2 This Spirit is detained 〈◊〉 wayes Either by astraigh Inclosure as it were in Prison Or by a kinde 〈◊〉 Free and voluntarie Detention Again this voluntarie stay is perswaded 〈◊〉 wayes Either if the Spirit it selfe be not too Moveable or Eager to depart Or if the Externall 〈◊〉 importune it not too 〈◊〉 to come forth So then 〈◊〉 sorts of substances are Durable Hard Substance and Oyly Hard Substance bindes in the spirit close Oyly partly enticeth the Spirit to stay partly is of that nature that it is not 〈◊〉 by Aire For Aire is Consubstantiall to Water and Flame to Oile And touching Nature Durable and Not Durable in Bodies Inanimate thus much The Historie 13 HErbs of the Colder sort dye yearly both in Root and Stalk As Lettice Purslane Also Wheat and all Kinde of Corne. Yet there are some Cold Herbs which will last three or foure yeares As the Violet Strawberrie Burnet Prime-rose and Sorrell But Borage and Buglosse which seeme so alike when they are alive differ in their Deaths for Borage will last but one yeare Buglosse will last more 14 But many Hot Herbs beare their age and yeares better Hyssope Thyme Savourie Pot Marjoram Balme Wormewood Germander Sage And the like Fennell dies yearly in the Stalk Buds againe from the Root But Pulse and sweet Marjoram can better endure age than Winter For being set in a very warme place and well senced they will live more than one yeare It is knowne that a Knot of Hyssope twice 〈◊〉 yeare shorne hath continued forty yeares 15 Bushes and Shrubs live threescore yeares and some double as much A Vine may attaine to threescore yeares and continue Fruitfull in the old age Rose mary well placed will come also to threescore yeares But White Thorne and Ivie endure above an hundred yeares As for the Bramble the age thereof is not certainly knowne Because bowing the head to the Ground it gets new Roots so as you cannot distinguish the Old from the New 16 Amongst great Trees the longest Livers are The Oake the Holme the Wild-Ash the Elme the Beech-tree the Chestnut the Plain-tree Ficus Ruminalis the Lote-tree the Wild-olive the Olive the Palme-tree and the Mulberrie-tree Of these some have come to the Age of eight hundred yeares But the least Livers of them doe attaine to two hundred 17 But Trees Odorate or that have sweet woods And Trees Rozennie last longer in their Woods or Timber than those above said but they
