'l woorry you before you feel their wounds Look to their teeth shun these Actaeons hounds ADONIS HE was a beautiful youth with whom Venus was in love but whilst he was hunting was killed by a boare or by Mars in the shape of a boare and by Venus was turned unto a red flower called Anemone hee was kept after death by Ceres or Proserpina six months under ground and other six months by Venus above THE MYSTERIES IF by Adonis we understand wheat that lodgeth with Proserpina that is lyeth buried in the ground six months in the winter the six summer months it is above in the aire with Venus by which the beautie of the yeare is signified by the boare may be meant the cold frosty and snowy season in which the wheat seemes to be killed 2. If with Macrobius by Adonis we understand the Sun he may be sayd to lodge six months with Proserpina in respect of his southerly declination the other six months with Venus for then the creatures give themselves to procreation he is killed by the boare and lamented by Venus for in winter his beames are of no force to dispell the cold which is the enemie of Adonis and Venus that is of beautie and procreation 3. Mars in the forme of a boare kils him because wars and hunting are maculine exercises and not fit for weak bodies and effeminate spirits 4. Adonis is from {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} to sing for beauty and musick are friends to Venus 5. Adonis may signifie the good government of a Common-wealth which is the beauty thereof which is killed by Mars in the form of a Boar for Mars and wantonnesse are enemies of all government 6. Beautifull Adonic is turned into a fading flower to shew that beauty quickly perisheth 7. Yong and fair Adonis is killed by a Boare so wantonnesse and leachery are the destroyers of youth and beauty 8. Our Resurrection in this may be typed out for although death kill us it shall not annihilate us but our beauty shall increase and wee shall spring out of the ground again like a beautifull flower in the Resurrection 9. Though our bodies dye yet our good name shall flourish and like a fair flower shall live and smell when wee are gone 10. Myrrha of her own Father begot this childe Adonis which Myrrha flying from her angry Father was turned into a tree and with the blow of her Fathers sword was delivered of this childe because the Sun the common Father begot the sweet Gum Myrrhe of that Arabian tree of the same name which Gum doth cause much delight and pleasure for so in Greek Adonis signifieth In this Gum Venus is much delighted as being a help to decayed beauty to a stinking breath to procreation and the vitiosity of the matrix 11. Let them remember who hunt too much after pleasure that the Devil is that great Boare who lyeth in wait to kill them You that hunt after pleasures eye that Boare Who would your health and wealth and souls devour Dote not on beauty beauty 's but a flower Whose pride and lustre fadeth in an hour Strive that your names may flourish after death Let them out-live Adonis flower yeeld a fragrant breath ADMETUS HE being a sutor to Alceste carryed her away by the assistance of Apollo and Hercules in a Chariot drawn by a Lyon and a Boare afterward being like to dye was recoverd by the voluntary death of his wife whom Hercules delivered out of hell and restored her to Admetus THE MYSTERIES HE that intends to marry had need take the aid of Apollo and Hercules that is of wisdom and strength of body 2. {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} is one that cannot be tamed as many lusty yong men are therfore it is good for such to marry with a Alceste 3. Many foolish women like Alceste refuse many good matches and at last are carryed away by a Lyon and a Boare that is by one that is lasciviously given and who can put on the bold face of a Lyon 4. Fruitfull women are like Alceste who cast themselves unto the jaws of death by childe-bearing that their husbands may live in the fruit of their womb for parents live in their children But by the means of Hercules that is of the strength of Nature women are delivered from death 5. Alceste is our hope with which we shall marry if first we can subdue the Lyon of pride and the Boare of concupiscence 6. Admetus or the untamed spirit of Satan doth carry away the soul which is the daughter of God in the Chariot of vanity drawn with pride and fleshly pleasures and in hell the soul should have continued for ever if Christ our Alcides had not delivered it from thence Let not Man think on Hymen till he finde What is Apollo's and Alcides minde And you weak Maids and Widows too before You marry shun the Lyon and the Boare Think not to carry Hope and Confidence Till you subdue pride and concupiscence By Hope lay hold on Christ he will sustain Your souls in death and them restore again AEACUS MINOS RHAD AMANTHUS THese were Iupiters sons and Judges in hell at the request of Aeacus when the Iland Aegina was depopulated with sicknesse Iupiter turned the Ants unto men so was Graecia delivered also by the prayers of the same Aeacus THE MYSTERIES IUst Judges are the sons of God 2. The good laws of just Judges shal not be forgotten but when they are in Hell that is when they are dead their lawes shall be still in force 3. These three Judges are the three effects of a wicked mans conscience to wit to accuse condemne and torment the sinner and in this sense a man may be said to be in hell whilst he is on earth 4. Aeacus by his wisdome causing the barbarous inhabitants to forsake their caves and holes wherin they dwelt and to build houses to leave their diet of roots and fruits and to sow corne in teaching of them civilitie and military discipline whereby they overcame the Pirats which used to molest them for these respects he was said to turne them from Ants unto men 5. In relieving Graecia by his prayers from the plague doth shew us That the prayers of the just availeth much 6. Before Christ came the Gentiles were but Ants men of earthly conversation being fed with roots of superstition molested with spirituall pirates but by the preaching and intercession of Christ the wisdome of the Father and the Iudge of all the world they were made men taught to forsake the dark holes of Idolatry and to build them an house in heaven to feed upon the bread of Gods Word and to fight against their spirituall enemies Consider Judges though you be but dust Gods sons you are yea Gods if you be just Let no man sin securely though alone For each man hath three Judges in a Throne Within his brest these Judges will torment thee Here and in

is the name of him who first found out the knowledge of Astronomy and invented the Spheare which some think was Henoch and for this knowledge was said to support heaven 3. This is the name of a king in Mauritania who perhaps from the bignesse and strength of his body was called a mountain and was said to have a garden of golden apples because of the plenty of golden mines in his Kingdom 4. God is the true Atlas by whose Word and power the world is sustained that mountain on which we may securely rest who only hath golden apples and true riches to bestow on us 5. The Church is the true Atlas a supporter of a Kingdom the child of heaven the hill on which God will rest on which there is continuall light and day a rock against which hell gates cannot prevaile where is the garden of golden apples the Word and Sacraments 6. A King is the Atlas of his Common-wealth both for strength and greatnesse there is the day and light of knowledge in him which the people cannot see a Prometheus that is Providence is his brother by the meanes of his knowledge and providence the Kingdome is supported and his gardens are filled with golden apples that is his treasures with mony 7. He deserves not to be called a man but a monster who wil not be hospitable for homo ab humanitate and b Iupiter is the god of hospitality who punisheth the violation of it 8. As Perseus the son of Iupiter sought lodging from Atlas but could have none and therfore turned him into a senselesse hill So Christ the Son of God knocks at the doors of our hearts whom if wee refuse to let in wee shew our selves to bee more senselesse and stupid then hill Atlas Go too my soul thy doors unlock Behold the Son of God doth knock And offers to come in O suffer not to go from hence So great a God so just a Prince That were a grievous sin Refuse not then to intertain So great a guest who would so fain Come lodge and sup with thee If thou refuse he can command The Gorgon which is in his hand Thy soul to terrifie His word the Gorgon is which can Turn unto senslesse stones that man Whose gates will not display Themselves to him who still intreats To come unto our Cabinets And yet wee 'll not give way O Lord whose word doth me sustain And all that 's in the earth and main And in the painted skies Let me those goodly fruits of gold Which in thy gardens shine behold With these my feeble eyes Lord give the King a lasting name And strength that he may bear the frame Of this great Monarchy From whom if Prudence do not part Nor light of Knowledge from his heart Wee 'll fear no Anarchy Make thou his golden splendor shine As far as did King Atlas Mine To earths remotest bound And let his head ascend as high As Atlas did above the sky With light and glory crown'd AURORA THe daughter of Hiperion and Thia or as others write of Titan and the Earth the sister of Sol and Luna drawne in a chariot sometimes with four horses sometimes with two only she useth to leave her husband Tithonus with her son Memnon abed in Delos shee made old Tithonus young againe by means of herbs and physick THE MYSTERIES AUrora is the daughter of Hiperion which signifieth to go above for it is from above that we have the light of the a Sun and every other good thing even from the Father of lights her mother is Thia for it is by divine gift we enjoy light and nothing doth more lively represent the Divinity then the light as Dionys. Areopagit sheweth at large she is the daughter of Titan that is the Sun who is the fountain of light and of the earth because the light of the morning seemes to arise out of the earth The leaving of her husband abed with her son is only to shew that all parts of the earth doe not enjoy the morning at one time but when it is morning with us it is evening with those of the remotest Eastcountries from us whom she leaves abed when she riseth on us and leaves us abed when she riseth on them for all parts are East and West and all people may be called her husbands and sons for shee loves all and shines on all and by her absence leaves them all abed by turns Her chariot signifieth her motion the purple and rose colour do paint out the colours that we see in the morning in the aire caused by the light and vapors Shee hath sometime two sometimes four horses because she riseth somtime slower sometime sooner The making of old Tithonus young with physick may shew that the physicall simples which come from the Eastern countryes are powerfull for the preserving of health and vigour in the body Again faire Aurora leaving old Tithon abed doth shew that beautifull young women delight not in an old mans bed or by this may be signified a vertuous woman whom Salomon describes who riseth whilst it is night is clothed with scarlet and purple who doth her husband good c. a Last our Saviour is the true Aurora who was in love with mankind whom he hath healed from al infirmities and hath bestow'd on him a lasting life which knoweth not old-age his light from the chariot of his word drawen by the foure Evangelists shineth over all the world As fair Aurora from old Tithons bed Flyes out with painted wings and them doth spred Upon the firmament So from the heavens golden Cabinet Out flyes a morning all with Roses set Of graces redolent Whose presence did revive the hearts of those Whom night of sin and errour did inclose Within her darkest Cell This morning on a purple Chariot rides Drawn by four milk-white Steeds the reins he guides In spight of death and hell Christ is this morning who triumphantly On the bright Chariot of his Word doth flye The four white horses are The four Evangelists whose light doth run As swift as doth Aurora or the Sun Or Moon or any Star It s he that Eagle-like our youth renews And in us all infirmities subdues It s he whose radiant wings Displaid abroad hath chas'd away the night And usher'd in the day which mentall light And true contentment brings O thou whose face doth guild the Canopy Which doth infold fire air and earth and sea Extend thy glorious rayes On me Oh let me see that countenance Which may dispell the night of ignorance So shall I sing thy praise CHAP.
