A96163	Astrologie theologized: wherein is set forth, vvhat astrologie, and the light of nature is. What influence the starres naturally have on man, and how the same may be diverted and avoided. As also, that the outward man, how eminent soever in all naturall and politicall sciences, is to bee denied, and die in us. And, that the inward man by the light of grace, through profession and practice of a holy life, is to be acknowledged and live in us: which is the onely means to keep the true Sabbath in inward holinesse, and free from outward pollution. / By Valentine Weigelius.

the wisdome power vertue and glory eternally hidden in God should be opened and multiplied For God once made all things for man but Man for himself CHAP. II. Concerning the subject of Astrologie THe study of Astrologie or Philosophie is conversant about the universall knowledge of all the wonderfull and secret things of God infused and put into naturall things from above in the first creation The exercise therefore of the light of Nature is the most sagacious perscrutation and enucleation of the abstruse internall and invisible vertues lying hid in externall corporall and visible things to wit What should be the first matter of this great world whereof it was made What the Elements should be and those things which are bred of the Elements and consist in them of what kind is their creation essence nature propriety and operation as well within as without What might be in the Stars of Heaven what their operation What in Volatiles what in Fishes Metalls Mineralls Gemms what in every species of Sprigs and Vegetables What in Animalls beasts creeping things and in the whole frame of the world Lastly what is in Man who was made and created of all these to wit What is that masse or slime or dust whereof the body of the first man was formed and whence he received his soule and what it is and whence he hath the Spirit and what he is And so the light of Nature or Astrologie comprehends in it self all the wisdome and knowledge of the whole Universe that is all these are had and learned in the Schoole of the light of Nature and are referred to Astrologie or are rather Astrologie it self to wit The subject of Astrologie therefore is double the Macrocosm and Microcosm the greater World and the lesser World The greater World is this very frame and great house or this huge tabernacle wherein we inhabit and live and it consists of the foure Elements Fire Aire Water and Earth and is twofold visible according to the body invisible according to the soule or spirit The lesser World is Man the off-spring or some of the greater world extracted and composed out of the whole greater World who also in himself is two fold visible and externall as to his body invisible and internall as to his soul And as Man is made of nothing els but the world so also is he placed and put no where els but within the world to wit that he might live dwell and walk therein yet so as that he should take heed of that subtill Serpent and should not eat of the Tree of the knowledge of good and evill least he die that is that he serve not the soule of the world and creatures subject to vanity but as a wise man rule the Starrs and resist the divell tempting him by the concupiscence of the flesh of the eyes and pride of life and suppresse sinfull nature living and walking in wisdom and simplicity of the Divine God head inspired into him not in the subtilty of the Serpent by arrogancy and love of himselfe For it is most certain Of what any thing is born and procreated from thence also it seeks desires and receives it's nourishments convenient to it's essence and nature for the sustentation of it self Now Man was taken from and composed of the Macrocosme and placed in the same Therefore also necessarily he is nourished cherished receives his meat and drink is clothed and sustained according to that Gen. 3. v. 19. Thou art taken from the earth and thou shalt eat thereof in labour all the dayes of thy life and shalt eat the herbes of the field untill thou shalt return unto the earth for from it thou art taken Seeing therefore Man as to his body is composed of the Elements and as to his soul of the Starrs and each part is fed and sustained from that from which it was taken The food or aliment of the body wherby the body grows to a due stature comes to a man from the Elements the Earth the Water Ayre Fire not that Man should take to himself for food the crude bodies of the Elements but the fruit growing from the Elements they are for nutriment But the food of the soul inhabiting in the Microcosmicall body are all kinds of Sciences Arts Faculties and Industries with which she tincts and makes her self perfect Moreover All aliment passeth into the substance of the user and is made the same that he himself is that is whatsoever a man eats and drinks the same thing is essentially transmitted into the substance nature propriety and forme of Man by the digestion of Arthens in the ventricle I say the food passeth and is converted into the nature of the eater and drink into the substance of the drinker and is made one and the same with him And in the first place let these things be understood concerning the body without wonder because man is made of that which he eats and drinks So also whatsoever a man learns studies knowes in things that are placed without himself that knowledge and intelligence passeth into the very essence nature and propriety of a man and is made one with him The Light of Nature is made Man in Man and by a mans diligent searching Man is made Light both in light and by light and by the benefit of that light he finds out all things whatsoever he seeks and desires but one more and another lesse because all do not seek with the like study Every Knowledge Science Art Industry and Faculty passeth into the nature of Man penetrates him occupies him possesseth him tincts him is agglutinated to him united with him and perfected in him and he in it For Whatsoever kind of aliment man useth and whatsoever he endeavours to study inquire know and understand this is not strange or different from his essence and nature The reason is Because whatsoever is without a man the same is also within him for that man is made of all those things which are without him that is of the whole universe of things Therefore whatsoever Man takes from without from the Elements and Stars by meat drink knowledge study and intelligence this is the same that man is and is made the same with Man So man eating bread and drinking water wine c. from the Macrocosme he eats and drinks himself and Learning Arts Tongues Faculties and Sciences of externall things he learns and knows himself And as he tincts his body by meat and drink which passe into the substance of flesh and blood so also his soul is tincted with whatsoever kind of Sciences Arts c. eating and drinking he is united essentially with that which he eats and drinks And learning and knowing he is united essentially with that which he studies learns and knows Wherefore this is a most certain rule Whatsoever is without us is also within us Which in this place we philosophising of the soul and the body do thus declare This whole world visible as to

and inserted into the body Greatest and most excellent is the knowledge of the Spirit inspired from the mouth of God into the first man and by the mysteries of multiplication equally communicated to every one of us Wherefore is the knowledge of the humane body great By reason of it's wonderfull composition that is because all the foure Elements are essentially composed in it And moreover I say the essence nature propriety of all the creatures of the whole invisible world which are in the Earth Water Air and Fire are incorporated and scituate in Man But seeing all things generally are conjoyned and included into one skin they are not altogether and at once discovered nor can be revealed but at least come forth and are known inspecie as they are drawn forth and excited Wherefore is the knowledge of the Soul which is in the heart of Man greater Because the whole Firmament with all the essence nature vertue propriety inclination operation and effect of all the Starrs is therein conjoyned and complicated so as there is nothing in the whole power of the Spirit of the Firmament or soul of the world which the soul of man also hath not in himself and in the exaltation of it self can give it of it self Yea the whole Light of Nature is in the soul of the Microcosm which is the wisdome and power and vigour of all things of the whole whorld throughout all the Elements and things procreated of the Elements For she is the Astrologicall Spirit containing in her self all kind of Sciences Magic Cabalistic Astronomic with all their Species Chimistry Medicine Pahisic all Arts Tongues all Workmanships and all Studies existent throughout the whole shop of Nature But because all these things are collected in one and generally comprehended in the soul they do not all lie open or can they be in act to gether although they are in power but are let out and produced one species after an other Wheresoever therefore these kinds of divers Sciences flourish are exercised amongst men there shines the Light of Nature and the soul of the Microcosme is in her exaltation that is the Firmament of the Microcosme is in his ascendents But why is the knowledge of the Spirit of God greatest in us Because he from whom we receive this Spirit is greatest and most eminent above all For in this same Spriit all the divine Wisdome and Power from whence that saving knowledge flowes forth that is Theologie treating of supernaturall celestiall and divine things and is conversant in the Magnalia and mysteries of God placed above Nature and tends even to the inexhausted and unspeakable profundity of the Deity in which profundity the very origianll matter cause end of al the works of God and of things acted in time from the beginning of the Creation even to the end of the consummation of the world eternally and essentially lay hid For all things came forth from him all things were made by him and all things consist in him By how much any thing is most inward by so much it is more noble and excellent This visible world is a body compacted of Fire Air Water and Earth which is without hath in it self the Spirit of Nature which is the soul of the world which is within to which soul this externall body be longeth because it is inhabited possessed and governed by it Hence the soul of the world is more noble then the body This soul of the world hath in it the Spirit of God which comprehendeth and possesseth it For nothing is beyond God or the Spirit of God Hence the Spirit is more noble then the Soul The more noble alwaies exists in the more ignoble and internalls prevail over externells as well in essence as in power So our externall body is indeed great in it's stature and quantity and a wonderfull creature Yet the soul dwelling in the body is far greater and more wonderfull not in corporeall quantity but in Essence Vertue and Power But the Spirit is the greatest of all not in the lump or corporeall quantity but in Essence Vertue and Power and therefore most wonderfull There is nothing greater then that in which are all things And There is nothing lesse then that which is in all smallest things Therefore let us observe this rule well By how much any thing is more inward and more hidden from the externall senses by so much the more it is more worthy noble and potent in it's essence nature and propriety Which we will demonstrate by exanples There is not any house built for it self but for the inhabitant Now the edifice is an externall thing and the inhabitant and internall thing The house is for the guest and not the guest for the house Therefore the inhabitant is far more noble worthy and excelllent in his essence then every edifice although sumptuous For what is the house profitable the guest being absent So garments are made and prepared for the body that it might be and walk in them Garments are externall things the body is internall Therefore the body in its essence is far more noble and worthy then all garments although precious For what need is there of garments if they are wanting which should put them on Therefore garments are for the body and not the body for garments So the Body rayment house and habitation is a certain externall thing to the soul but the soul is internall And the body is for the soul and not the soul for the body Therefore the soul in her essence is a far more noble and worthy Creature then the body although most comely and most excellently proportioned For what availeth the body the soule being wanting it is a carcasse So the Soul made and created for an habitation of the Divine Spirit is externall but the Spirit is internall And the soul is for the Spirit and not the Spirit for the soul Therefore the Spirit of God is found far more noble and excellent and worthy in his originall essence nature vertue power and propriety So God is and abides the most inward chief great potent noble and worthy above all things adn contains all things in himself and he himself is contained of none Moreover By how much any thing is more inward by so much it is more nigh and neer to us but also so much the harder to be found and known Every thing that is most inward is most precious and most noble Because of the too much aversion and abalienation of our soul from divine and heavenly things and by reason of the too much tenacity and adherency of our love to the Creatures of the world And on the contrary By how much any thing is more exterior by so much the more it is remote from us and by so much the more strange For example sake The Spirit of the Lord truly is and inhabiteth in my soul whose seat is in the captula of my heart But seeing every inhabitant

Governours of the world and their operations and offices as well in the Macrocosme as in the Microcosme THe whole shop of Nature with all her sorts of sciences and actions is ordained and distributed into seven chief members Kingdoms or Dominions according to the seven Astra's of the Planets of the ☉ of the ☽ of ☿ of ♀ of ♂ of ♃ of ♄ who are the Governours of all naturall things extant in the whole frame of the world by the foure Elements But the Light of Nature which we call Astrologie is nothing els then the very life vigour vertue action and operation of the whole world in things which proceed and come forth from the soul of the world or the spirit of the Firmament whose seat is in the body of the Sun For there the soul of the world or the spirit of the Macrocosme dwells as the soul of the Microcosme in the heart and in the Sun it is most potent whence it diffuseth his vertues actions and powers out of it self ever and anon into the other six Planets the ☽ ☿ ♀ ♂ ♃ ♄ And moreover in all the other Starrs being throughout the whole stelliferous Chaos By this only soul the whole world lives is governed agitated and moved as a body by his spirit The Sun is the heart and light of the world in this heart I say the soul inhabits which illuminates all and every the Planets and Stars upwards above it self and downwards beneath it self as well in the day as in the night time and disperses his power into all and singular bodies as well the superiour things to the utmost superficies of the frame as also the inferiour things even to the inward Centre in the earth Yea the Sun by his vertue passeth through all corporealls like unto glasse The power and working of the Sun and operates in them without any impediment So his force penetrates the whole body of the Sea as glasse without any obstacle even to the lowest bottom thereof So the whole body of the earth full of pores on every side is passable to the Sun even to the inward point of his Circle So the Sun fills the sphear of Air also the Sphears of Heaven and enters into views and possesseth with his power all the Angels of all the regions and parts of the world as the soul doth his body of the Microcosme and not only the Chaos and the bodies of Elements but also all the generations and substances of all things whencesoever existing as well subtile as grosse as well light as heavy as well soft as hard mettalls mountains hills gemms rocks stones wood and whatsoever is every where so as it reacheth to the very Centre of the earth neither is his force and operation wanting or deficient there For all bodies though never so great grosse thick are altogether as glasse to the penetrative power of the Sun and although our eyes do not so expressely know and see this present ingressive penetrating subtile and active power of the Sun in all things but the grosse bodies alwaies are and remain in our eyes grosse dark shady Yet in respect of the Sun and to the vertue of the Sun after their manner all things are diaphane and perspicuous and penetrable Which solar vertue thrusts forth and produceth all things hid in the earth and as the Air is such that with the very vertue of the Sun it doth essentially enter into all bodies penetrate and fill all things For fire is the life of things Lise is fire no fire can burn that is live without Air wheresoever therefore there is life or fire or the vertue of the Sun there also is Air. The world a great Creature Now the whole greater world as to its soul and body with all the creatures that are therein is one Creature by it self and one animall and lives like an animall having in it self its vitall spirit endued with a sevenfold operation or diffused into the seven Planets into all the Starrs and into all the Elements and all vegetables Mineralls and animalls generated of Elements The Element of Fire hath his shop or seat in the body of the Sun Planets and all the Starrs in that fire the Phenix of the world or soul of the world dwells which operates all things and is the Light of Nature the Vulcan of Heaven the Arthens of Nature The Air is it's respiration and balsome The Water is it's blood The Earth is it's flesh In like manner also it is in the Minor World in Man who as to his soul and body the form excepted in all things answers to the Major World as a son to his father because taken out of him and placed in him In the heart is the seat or habitation of the soul of the little world or the Syderean Spirits whose vertue life motion nature force operation ever and anon by going forth diffuseth it self into the other six principall members of the Microcosme the Brain the Liver the Lungs the Gall the Spleen the Reins and from thence into the whole body and all the muscles veins nerves parts and extremities of the whole Microcosme and so that only soul resident in the heart carries governs agitates leads moves the whole body according to the nature and propriety of these seven principall members by which the body performs all his works as well artificiall and subtile as simple and rude As the soule of the Macrocosme labouring in the seven Governours of his body and the rest of the Starrs produceth all created things Therefore as to the concordance of these seven Governours Planers Starrs or vertues in the Major and Minor World it is certain that 1. The Heart In the Microcosme is the same and hath the same force that as 1. ☉ In the Macrocosme 2. The Brain In the Microcosme is the same and hath the same force that as 2. ☽ In the Macrocosme 3. The Lungs In the Microcosme is the same and hath the same force that as 3. ☿ In the Macrocosme 4. The Reins In the Microcosme is the same and hath the same force that as 4. ♀ In the Macrocosme 5. The Gall. In the Microcosme is the same and hath the same force that as 5. ♂ In the Macrocosme 6. The Liver In the Microcosme is the same and hath the same force that as 6. ♃ In the Macrocosme 7. The Spleen In the Microcosme is the same and hath the same force that as 7. ♄ In the Macrocosme And as to the Elements 1. The Flesh Hath his anatomy of the Microcosme 1. The Earth Of the Macrocosme 2. The Blood Hath his anatomy of the Microcosme 2. The Water Of the Macrocosme 3. The Respiration Hath his anatomy of the Microcosme 3. The Air. Of the Macrocosme 4. The Heat Hath his anatomy of the Microcosme 4. The Fire Of the Macrocosme For in the Flesh of the Microcosme lyeth hid the essence nature and propriety of all vegetables springing out of the earth compacted and dispersed

is whthin and his habitation without it followeth That the Spirit of the Lord is more near to me then I am to my self And so it most evidently appears That the Kingdom of God is not to be sought without us here or there but within us witnesse Christ himself who saith Luke 17. being asked of the Pharises when the Kingdome of God should come The Kingdom of God shall not come with observation neither shall they say loe here or loe there For Behold the Kingdom of God is within you And the Apostle Paul 14. Rom. The Kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousnesse and peace and joy in the holy Spirit For by these he which doth service to Christ is accepted of God and approved by men The Soul is and dwells in the heart and the heart is in my body therefore the soul is more neer to me then the body My Body is cloathed with garments hence the body is neerer to me then garments and the soul neerer to me then the body and the Spirit neerer then the soul and therefore more noble more worthy and of more moment And because it is true That every internall is more noble and more worthy then his externall in which it is and dwells that even all of us do witnesse hilling or willing knowing or not knowing For behold if we are in danger of life by fire by water by perstilence or wars c. these being imminent upon us then indeed In the first place we leave behind us all our edifices as well sumptuous as vile with our externall goods and with few things if there be any we can carry with us we betake our selves to flight so that the body being clad might be preserved safe and unhurt with the life and soul By which very thing we testifie that the internalls are more desireable then externalls For who would be so foolish that he would neglect lose and destroy his body for the retaining of his edifices and externall goods when the body being lost and destroyed edifices and externall goods are much more lost and destroyed Furthermore danger pressing and necessity and straights urging us and overwhelming us we with John the Disciple of Christ even leave and cast off our garments with which we are covered and whatsoever els is abounding to us of our substance and naked and poor we commit our selves to flight that the body only with the life and soul may be preserved and kept safe and sure Do we not by this very thing point out and shew that internalls are better and more greater then externalls seeing that the body and life are internall but vestments externall And who would be of so perverse a mind that he should imbrace vestments with greater love then the body and life and would in that mind persist in danger that he would retain and keep his garments although he were compelled to loose and to destroy his body and life Moreover in persecutions for the name of Christ or for the truth putting our body and life in danger we even leave those and give them up to our enemies to Tyrants c. with patience like the Lamb of God whom all sheep imitate only that the soul may be kept intire strong safe and uncorrupt in the faith and knowledge of God and truth Do we not signifie by this that internalls prevail over externalls because the soul is internall the body externall and who would be of so foolish a mind that he had rather neglect and loose his soul with Faith in God and knowledge of the truth only that he might keep his externall mortall body and temporall life For faith and the knowledge of the truth being destroyed lost the body with the temporall life is of no moment Finally in extreme torments anguish and infernall dolours of our Conscience for sins committed even with David we leave and execrate the very soul it self and we bring to nought and empty our selves of al the so lace both of God and the creatures and we are left unto our selves crying out with the Son of God my God my God why hast thou forsaken me So that God only and alone might be and reman in us unhurt inviolated just and perfect in all things that he doth with us both sweet and bitter So by adverse things we are alwaies reduced to internalls and make a regression to our selves and unto God which is in us Do we not therefore after this manner testifie the truth of this rule That every internall is more noble and more worthy then his exterior Wherefore seeing there is nothing in us so near intimate as God is it followes that any other thing is not to be so esteemed sought and loved as God alone who hath put and hid in us the most excellent Treasure of his divine Wisdom Light Life truth and vertue taken from his own self and hath commanded to ask him seek and knock in the hidden place of our heart in Spirit and in Truth having given a testimony that the Kingdom of God first of all to be sought is not here or there without us but is to be found most inward in us as a Treasure hid in a Field From all these things it clearly appears to me that God is not at all more remote or nearer to me in this life whilst I am in this world and in this mortall body then he will be to me in life eternall c. But I have and feel my God equally now present and intimate to me even as I shall have him in the other world in a new body For he is in me and I in him whether I am in a mortall body in this world or without this body in that world This alone makes the difference that this thing even hitherto is hidden but then it shall be manifest and open But that I am not so nigh and near to him as he is to me this is not to be imputed to him but to my aversion who do not sabathize in my God who is with me that is who by running up and down with my unquite and vagabond soul through the creatures I am more delighted to be and to be busined in my proper will out of my internall Countrey and I suffer that ever hissing Serpent to creep on to the creatures in the multifarious concupiscence and delectation of the flesh of the eyes and pride of life or self-love neither am I lesse frequent in the various discourse of my thoughts ever and a non day and night ascending out of my heart now desiring this now that speculating willing nilling now this now that where moreover I weary and burden my self with all kind of care and vex my self with various affections All which things are the Astrologicall operation and revolution of the internall Starrs in our soul But if I could Theologize my Astrologie that is if I could desist sometimes from all these things and study to be at rest in my

VIII Touching the Astrologie of Saturn of what kind it is and how it ought to be Theologized SAturn as to the description of his substance and nature in the Macrocosme is one of the chief of those seven Starrs which we call Planets or Governours of the world walking next of all in the aiery Region under the Firmament or Zodiac and ordained in a certain Sphear or Circle or Mansion the circuit of circle he finisheth he passeth over once in the space of thirty years time through the twelve celestiall Signs extant in the Zodiac His body arising from the Element of Fire and illuminating that is cherishing and governing the earth and what are in and on the earth his body is fiery and globous his Astralic force which is the firmamentall or syderean Spirit is invisible Now Saturn is conditioned with that nature propriety from the first creation that he may send forth exercise the vertue operation of his splend or light in his subjects existing here and there in the foure Elements as are vegetables mineralls animalls properly and in specie pertaining to him wherein he effects and frameth such a nature and vertue as he hath in himself Now Saturn hath his subjects appropriate to himself in every kind of creature amongst Vegetables he hath his young twigs his herbs his plants his flowers his trees in which he operates by his influence after his manner So amongst mineralls and mettalls also amongst animalls creeping going creatures cattell beasts watery and volatill creatures For the whole university of the creatures of this world with us men is divided into seven kinds or assemblies and dispersed into every region which answer to these seven Governours in their naturall vertues and proprieties as well internall as externall But touching the Astronomicall condition of Saturn and the rest of the Planets to wit what kind of motion position course quantity distance opposition conjunction and other dimensions of this kind they have amongst themselves also touching the difference of their weights in mettalls c. it is not our purpose here to handle them concerning such kind of things consult Astronomicall books and Chimicall books and the like publiquely extant abroad but we rather handle and shew this How all the studies and offices and kinds of life of all men have their originall from the Starrs and to which Planet every thing is to be referred Then how the whole Astrologie ought to be Theologized that is how every one of us ought to know discern hate put off say aside and deny the old man made of Astrologie with all his Wisdom Science Knowledge Prudence Industry Art and whatsoever a man hath occupies and possesseth of the gifts of Nature and in the denial of himself and all that he hath as well within as without altogether to grow a child again to be made an infant yea a fool and to put on the new Man which is created according to God to walk in newnesse of life to die to sin and to live to justice to know that Babilonian Whore and her Beast c. and to preserve himself from her c. to know the forbidden Tree and to eat of the Tree of Life and to passe over from nature into grace to be made a new creature to be born again to transplant himself from the terrene Paradise into the Heavenly to labour six daies and rightly to sanctifie the seventh and the like This is the intention end and scope of this our work Therefore Saturnists or the worshippers of Saturn whose minds desires wills inclinations affections concupiscences pleasures cogitations speculations inventions actions and labours are ascribed to Saturn as to their study and kind of life are men in whom is and flourisheth all kind of science and industry 1.
