A13217	Speculum mundi· Or A glasse representing the face of the world shewing both that it did begin, and must also end: the manner how, and time when, being largely examined. Whereunto is joyned an hexameron, or a serious discourse of the causes, continuance, and qualities of things in nature; occasioned as matter pertinent to the work done in the six dayes of the worlds creation.	Swan, John, d. 1671.; Marshall, William, fl. 1617-1650, engraver.	1635 (1635)	STC 23516; ESTC S118043	379,702	552

dayes of weekly labour and that the seventh age shall begin at the resurrection as was figured in Henoch the seventh from Adam who died not as did the six before him but was taken up into heaven Unto this I assent as probable But that each age should have a thousand yeares is still denied and as in setting them down according to Scripture will be manifest The first is from the creation to the floud and this by S. Peter is called the old world 2. Pet. 2. 5. The second is from the floud to Abraham Matth. chap. 1. The third from Abraham to David Matth. chap. 1. The fourth from David to the captivitie Matth. chap. 1. The fifth from the captivitie to Christ. Matth. chap. 1. The sixt is the time after Christ called in many places the last age and the last of times as in Hebrews chap. 1. 1. God saith the Apostle who at sundry times and in divers manners spake unto the fathers by the Prophets hath in these last dayes spoken to us by his Sonne And again S. Peter calls this the last of times 1. Pet. 1. 20. S. John also saith Little children it is the last time 1. John 2. 18. These I grant to be the six ages of the world but who is so mad as to say or think that there were just thousands of yeares betwixt each or any of them The Septuagints make more then thousands between some of them and the Hebrews they make lesse excepting the first age Yet if you will know their lengths according to that which is none of the worst accounts take them thus and this account I may afterwards prove in another work The first hath 1656 yeares The second if we end it at the beginning of Abrahams peregrination and giving of the promise hath the just number of 423 yeares The third if we end it at the death of Saul and beginning of Davids kingdome after him containeth the number of 866 yeares The fourth if we begin the captivitie in the first yeare of Nebuchadnezzar hath 448 yeares The fifth containeth the length both of the Chaldean Persian and Grecian Monarchies together with so much of the Roman greatnesse as was past before Christ came into the world amounting in all to the summe of 605 yeares or there abouts although we reckon no further then the birth of Christ. But go rather to his baptisme and then this age is 634 c. The sixth and last hath so many yeares as are from the time of mans redemption untill now for hitherto this age hath continued and shall not be ended untill the last trumpet be blown and Surgite mortui venite ad judicium Arise you dead and come to judgement be sounded in our eares To which purpose divine Du Bartas that noble Poet brings in our father Adam speaking of these ages thus setting them down as if the speech had been uttered by him to his sonne saying The First begins with me the Seconds morn Is the first Ship-wright who doth first adorn The hills with vines that Shepherd is the Third Who after God through strange lands leads his herd And past mans reason crediting Gods word His onely sonne slayes with a willing sword The Fourth 's another valiant Shepherdling That for a cannon takes his silly sling And to a scepter turns his shepherds staff Great Prince great Prophet Poet Psalmograph The Fifth begins from that sad Princes night Who s●…es his children murdred in his sight Or from poore Iudahs dolefull heavinesse Led captives on the banks of Euphrates Hoped Messias shineth in the Sixt Who mockt beat banisht buried crucifixt For our foul sinnes still selfly-innocent Must fully bear the hatefull punishment The Last shall be the very resting-day Aire shall be mute the waters works shall stay The earth her store the starres shall leave their measures The sunne his shine and in eternall pleasures We plung'd in heaven shall aye solemnize all Th' eternall sabbaths endlesse festivall Thus farre Du Bartas But from hence I proceed and on the sudden I have met some other sorts of calculatours For so various are mens searching heads that these things have not onely been boulstered out by Rabbinicall traditions sabbaticall symboles and the like but also by sundry other fancies Some have pretended revelations and thereby deluded many Amongst whom learned Gerard makes mention of a certain woman of Suevia in Germanie who was called Thoda she in the yeare of Christ 848 prophesied that by the apparition of an Angel it was revealed unto her that the world should end that very yeare After whom there were others as true prophets as her self namely in the yeares 1062 1258 1345 1526 1530 c. He in the yeare 1526 ran up and down the streets in the citie of S. Gallus in Helvetia crying with horrid gestures that the day of the Lord was come that it was present And he in the yeare 1530 did so strongly prevail with some that he perswaded them the last yeare of the world was come whereupon they grew prodigall of their goods and substance fearing that they should scarcely spend them in so short a time as the world was to continue But this surely was an Anabaptisticall trick and a chip of that block which maketh all things common boasting of visions and dreams in an abundant manner Others have pitched upon certain Mathematicall revolutions and thereby constituted a time amongst whom Ioannes Regiomontanus is said to be one who partly thought that the yeare 1588 should adde an end to the world because at that time was a great conjunction of Saturn Jupiter Mars Upon which occasion I remember these verses Post mille expletos à partu Virginis annos Et post quingentos rursus ab orbe datos Octogesimus octavus mirabilis annus Ingruet is secum tristia multa trahet Si non hoc anno totus malus occidet orbis Si non in nihilum terra fretúmque ruent Cuncta tamen mundi sursum ibunt atque deorsum Imperia luctus undique grandis erit That is When from the Virgins birth a thousand yeares With full five hundred be compleat and told The Eightie Eighth a famous yeare appeares Which brings distresse more fatall then of old If not in this yeare all the wicked world Do fall and land with sea to nothing come Yet Empires must be topsie turvie hurl'd And extream grief shall be the common summe Which what it was the event hath shewed Others again dream of secrets in Cabalisticall conclusions Some subscribe to Analogies taken from Jubilees or from the yeares of Christs age and the like Yea and to omit many sundry others have their tricks and devices in Arithmeticall numbers whereby they can directly calculate the time and make the superstitious multitude admire them and lend a more then greedie eare to their feared predictions Such a one was he who out of these words MUNDI

and fighteth with every kinde of beast saving the lion and elephant he diggeth up gold in desert places and giveth repulse to those that come neare him But as I said some doubt whether there be any such creature or no which for my part shall be left to every mans libertie The Ostrich is compounded as it were of a bird and a beast and is especially found in Africa he is partly like a camell in his long legs and feet partly like a sparrow in his head and bill though much greater Some say his head is covered with small hairs his eyes be grosse and black his neck is long and as I said his bill is short and sharp like a sparrows bill and his feet hath as it were a bipartite hoof He is said to exceed the height of a man on horseback and as for his wings they help him little howbeit we make much use of his feathers as is well known And in one thing he is like the woodcock for hiding his head he never fears his bodie Job speaketh that he is forgetfull for when this bird hath laid her egges which she hides in the sand and are hatched by the sunne she forgetteth them untill the young come forth and then the males are forced to feed and cherish them So have I seen many mothers refusing to nurse their children and if they could would have others likewise bear them but putting them forth I beleeve many perish for want of care and due attendance for it is not possible that a nurse should have that tender affection which belongs to a mother and many times with the nurses milk the children suck the nurses vices Necessitie therefore and a prudent choice should seek out nurses as we see it Gen. 21. 7. Moreover it is said that this bird is of such strong digestion that she will eat iron and when she seeth that she cannot avoid taking she casteth stones with her claws against her followers by which she often hurteth them Ibis is a tall strong bird having a bill of great length he doth exceeding much good in destroying serpents These birds live in Egypt and the serpents brought out of Lybia thither by the Southern winde are killed by them Plin. lib. 10. cap. 28. See also afterwards in the Stork The Kite is well known she is a fowl which flieth softly untill she espie her prey she hath quick eyes will flie high into the aire in hot cleare weather and by the turning of her tail she directs her bodie even as a great lazie ship is ordered by the helm Aristotle observes that all such fowls as have talons cannot devoure any meat but flesh and if any other food be thrust into their mouthes they cannot eat it There is great enmitie between the kite and the raven it being an usuall thing for the kite to robbe the raven as being better in talons and flying So have I seen the gripers and catchpoles of this world destroy one another the lesse mightie alwayes devoured by the stronger and more potent And me thinks the kites feeding upon carrion is a fit embleme of the envious person who rejoyceth in the fall of others for there be many in the world who care not what men fall so they may rise building their own houses out of the bloud and ruine of others Howbeit it is observed by Aristotle that the kite being a ravenous bird bringeth forth but two young ones at a time wherein nature hath been very provident and carefull to suffer such ravenous fowls to increase no faster And so saith one it is commonly seen in the world that many rich cormorants or corn-vorants rather are either childlesse and have no children or else they abound not in many and yet we can see no end of their scraping pinching and oppressing There is one alone saith Solomon and there is not a second which hath neither sonne nor brother and yet there is no end of all his travell Eccles. 4. 8. The Raven also is a fowl given to rapacitie and devouring of flesh great of bodie slow in slight sharp in sight frequenting much the countreys of Italie Spain Egypt and about the Alps. But this saith Munster is to be understood of the great kinde of ravens This fowl doth greatly above all others covet mens carcases and as some think by a singular instinct and naturall gift it hath understanding of mans death presaging it a few dayes before But whether that be true or not this is certain that it haunteth places of battell with solitarie ruines and like to the young eagles it picketh out the eye of a dead corps first of all because as some suppose he seeth his own image in the clearnesse of the eye and so like coveteth the like The fox and this bird are very friendly but both at enmitie with the hawk that being the chiefest cause of their familiaritie And so have I seen one man love another the better for hating him whom he abhorreth or one like the fox will sometimes plot anothers ruine that the other like the raven may prey upon him Munster telleth us that the skinne of a raven well tewed and dressed with the feathers on it is exceeding good to be laid to a weak and sickly stomack for it greatly helps digestion And again she is noted for an unkinde bird to her young ones * expelling them out of their nest before their full and compleat time leaving them to their selves before they are able to shift and so crying for food God by his providence provideth for them whereupon it is said that the young ravens crie unto God or which feedeth the young ravens that call upon him Psal. 147. 9. And in this act these and the like birds are emblemes of such as want naturall affection And indeed the young ones afterwards prove as cruell to their dammes for when they be old and have their bills overgrown they die of famine not sharpning their bills again by beating them on a stone as the eagle doth * neither will their young ones help them but rather sometimes set upon them when they are not able to resist It is not good therefore to use children too harshly in their minoritie lest when Senes come to be Pueri again they finde as little favour at their hands as they shewed before And of this parents masters tutours and guardians should be carefull learning their lesson from these unnaturall birds But more I may spare to adde for the well affected are also well instructed to put a difference between foolish cockering and cruell handling knowing with Solomon that Where the rod is spared the childe is spoiled and with Paul confessing likewise that they ought not to be bitter to them lest thereby they provoke them to wrath Ephes. 6. 4. Moreover let it be observed that some authours affirm there is also the raven of the sea which is like in

hernshaw some for the duck and mallard some for one thing and some for another Thirdly they are said to differ in the manner of their following the game as such know better then my self who use to keep and manage hawks And if hither I may bring other birds of prey I would joyn to these the Kite Ringtail Buzzard Bittor and such like Olaus Magnus makes mention of brave generous falcons in the more northern parts of the world which live upon the spoil of fish and build their nests upon high mountains and for all kindes of hawks generally he accounts them the best which are bred thereabouts adding moreover that an hawk is fearfull of nothing more then a Peacock and as for little infants he saith that there is none either bird or beast kept tame at home which more desireth to hurt them then the Apes and biggest Hawks So have I seen some maintain and cherish those in their own families perhaps at their own tables who upon occasion have proved the first to do them mischief nay no occasion but fit opportunitie is enough for such as Brutus conspired the death of Cesar. Or again I have seen those delight in that which hath been the readiest way to their houses ruine The delicate Partridge is a bird well known she bringeth forth young which like chickens will runne as soon as they can creep out of the shell They are supposed to live 16 yeares They cover the shell of their egges with a soft dust sprinkled over them and never lodge whereabouts they breed being very lascivious wanton birds as Plinie tells us lib. 10. cap. 33. And as Physicians write the flesh of this bird is admirably good and wholesome especially for weak persons for it comforteth the stomack makes them lustie and helps the memorie Neither do I marvell saith one that gentlemen be at such cost to keep hawks and take such toil to kill Partridges and Phesants for besides the pastime and pleasure in hawking the flesh of these birds is very pleasant and every morsel as good as gold Well may we wish that pleasure to succeed Which brings to man such treasure in his need The Phesants are said to come first of all from about the river Phasis which is a famous river in Colchos where they were found and from whence they were brought by the Argonauts Plinie therefore calls them Phasianae and we Phesants This is a princely dish but the Mallard is nothing wholesome according to that of Schola Salerni Good sport it is to see a Mallard kill'd But with their flesh your flesh should not be fill'd The Capon Hen and Chicken Partridge Quail The Heath-cock wholesome is the Dove the Rail The Phesant Woodcock Lark and Thrush be good And all that do not much delight in mud But do you not heare sweet Philomel heark how she playes the silent world asleep This is a bird much addicted to watching for she sitteth all the night singing upon a bough with the sharp end of a thorn against her breast to keep her waking Her very throat is able to ravish the dullest eare and so much the more is her musick beyond compare in that from so small a creature such daintie aires are warbled forth The Latines call her Philomela that is a bird loving to sing and what Stoick but would love to heare her and give her thanks for her daintie dittie Should man strive to marrie his industrious layes with hers he could not be so much rapt with his own as with her delicious notes for sure she seems to have So many tunes whose harmonie excells Our voice our viols and all musick else The prettie Lark chants with a sugred throat so doth the Black-bird Linot the severall kindes of Finches the mirthfull Mavis Red-breast Wren Thrush and Starling But all is nothing to the Nightingale Breathing so sweetly from a breast so small The Owl is another night-bird her cry is dismall and she her self rightly stiled The hate and scorn of all the birds beside And of Owls there be many kindes The great Owl in Greek is called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 clamo or from the dolefull noise which she maketh and so in Latine it is Bubo This Owl keepeth in desert places is like in shape to another Owl hath talons like the Eagle and is very neare as great He is thought to be an ominous bird as he was to Agrippa Ios. Antiq. lib. 18. 1. which must be understood when he is seen in the day as again in the Councell of Constance one appeared before Pope John the 22. And of all night-birds those are held to be the most dismall Qui glutiunt vocem velut strangulati that is which throtle out a kinde of croaking voice like one that is strangled or ratleth in the throat And of this sound is that hoarse bird which is commonly called the Night-raven or Night-crow This also is said to be a kinde of owl and as authours witnesse will take mice like a cat and many times catch and destroy moles In Greek some name him 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is clamo to crie or make a noise but in Latine he is Nycticorax from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 nox 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 corvus which in English is the Night-crow or Night-raven And as for his colour it is black like other crows See Gesner de avibus lib. 3. Again there is another kinde named the Scriech-owl which the Latines understand by the word Strix and the Greeks by the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Some in old time have fabled strange things of this bird namely that it sucked out the bloud of infants lying in their cradles and with the very eyes of it did effascinate children or change their favours whereupon some have used the same word for a witch a fairie or hagge But perhaps that which is most commonly called the Scriech-owl is comprehended under one of the kindes of the Noctua or else it may be another Scriech-owl For there be 4 severall Noctua's as Gesner writeth One is of a large bignesse and hath feathers growing on her head like eares A second is lesse white on the throat and breast speckled on her other parts with a white and muddie colour A third is also lesse then the former and spotted with white and ash-colour And a fourth is also lesse then this of the same colour inhabiting most of all among rocks and such like places The Noctua in Latine in the Greek is called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 from the glaring or colour of her eyes And as for the Scriech-owl she is known by nothing better then her crie Also there is Ulula and this is that which we call the Howlet or the Madge All the owls are solitarie birds some dwelling in deserts some in churches and in ruinous buildings
