LONDON Printed by M. S. for L Lloyd at the Castle in Cornhill 1657. THE First BOOK OF PHILOSOPHY Written to the Athenians BY Theoph. Parac H. H. H. TEXT 1. ALL created things are of a fraile and perishing nature All creatures in the world have but one principle and had all at first but one onely principle or beginning In this principle all things under the Cope of Heaven were inclosed and lay hid Which is thus to be understood that all things proceeded out of one Matter and not every particular thing out of its own private matter by it selfe This common matter of all things is the Great Mysterie What the Great Mysterie is which no certaine essence and prefigured of formed I daea could comprehend nor could it comply with any property it being altogether voyd of colour and elementary nature The Great Mysterie is the mother of all things The scope of this Great Mysterie is as large as the Firmament And this Great Mysterie was the mother of all the Elements and the Grandmother of all the Stars trees and carnall creatures As children are born of a mother so all created things whether sensible or insensible all things whatsoever were uniformly brought out of the Great Mysterie So that the Great Mysterie is the onely mother of all perishing things out of which they all sprung not in order of succession or continuation but they all came forth together and at once in one creation substance matter form essence nature and inclination TEXT 2. That this Mysterie was such as never any creature besides was or ever saw the like and yet was the first matter out of which all mortall things proceeded cannot better be understood than by the Vrine of man which is made of water aire How mans urine is made earth and fire but is neither of these or was it like to either yet all the Elements by another generation arise from thence and so passe into a third generation But in as much as the Urine is but a creature there may be some difference between this and that The Great Mysterie was not created For the Great Mysterie is increated and was prepared by that great Artificer Never shall there be any like it nor doth this returne or is it brought back againe unto it selfe For as cheese becomes no more milke so neither doth that which is generated of the Mystery return into its first matter And though all things indeed may at length be reduced into their pristin nature and condition yet doe they not returne againe unto the Mysterie That which is once consumed can by no means be againe recovered But it may return into that which was before the Mystery TEXT 3. How the great Mysterie is the mother of all things Furthermore though the Great Mysterie be indeed the mother of all things both sensible and insensible yet were not all things that grow nor the living creatures nor such like things formed therein but thus are we to consider of it that it left and assigned generall mysteries to all things that is to men and living creatures and those of one sort it gave a mystery to propagate themselves after their own form In like manner it bestowed a peculiar mysterie on every other thing to bring forth its own shape by it selfe From the same originall also which the primary mysterie ordained spring those mysteries from which another mystery may be produced For a Star aliàs mucke is the mysterie of beetles flies and gnats c. Milk is the mysterie of cheese butter and such like Cheese is the mysterie of wormes that breed in it So againe wormes are the mysterie of perished cheese And thus there are two sorts of mysteries Mysteries are of two sorts The Great Mysterie which is uncreated The rest being of the same kindred are called speciall mysteries TEXT 4. All things came out of the Great Mystery at one the same time Now seeing it is plaine that all perishing things did spring and arise out of the uncreated mysterie we must know that nothing created was brought forth sooner or latter one than another nor this or that thing apart but altogether and at once For the Greatest Secret to wit the Goodnesse of the Creator did create or lay all things together upon that which is uncreated not formally essentially or by way of qualities but every thing lay hid in the uncreated as an image or statue doth in a piece of timber For as the statue is not seen till the wast wood be cut away that so it may appear So is it in the uncreated mysterie that which is fleshly or sensible and that which is insensible both came forth and got to its own form and kind by a right and instituted separation Here was no hacking or hewing but every thing passed into form and essence The wonderfull art of the Creatour c. Never was there workman any where to be found so accurate and industrious in separation who with like skill could make even the least and lightest grain usefull and put life into it TEXT 5. A comparison betwixt the mysterie and a medicine Understand it thus not as if a house were built out of the Great Mysterie or that the living creatures were first gathered together and laid in an heap and then perfected nor the other things that grow likewise but as a Physitian makes a compound of many vertues though the matter be but one wherein none of those vertues appear which lie hid under the same So must we think How all things were in the mysterie that all sorts of creatures under heaven were set in order and put into the Great Mysterie not perfectly according to their substance form and essence but after another subtill manner of perfection unknown to mortall man whereby all things were shut up into one We all were created of that which is fraile and mortall and are born much after the manner of Saturn who in the separation of himselfe brings forth all forms and colours yet none of them appear visible in him Since then the mysteries of Saturn yeeld such like procreations much more doubtlesse the great mysterie hath in it this miracle What kind of separatinn Saturn hath in whose separation all other superfluous things
