to Gentleness Softness Sweetness Maturity c. For which Reasons therefore as well as for many other which might be urged if insisted on we do conclude submitting it nevertheless to be examined that Generation and Corruption Rarefaction and Condensation is the simplest plainest and truest Analysis that can be found in Nature for all Physical Motions as unto some of which all Motion purely Physical may as we humbly conceive without straining be immediately referred and as by and through which all may likewise with as little Difficulty be resolved And having laid this as a second Argument we say 3dly That it cannot be denied but all the Affections and Dispositions of Moisture Heat Cold Drought the Course of all Winds Showers Thundering or whatsoever else is used by Nature to produce these two general and universal Effects of Rarefaction and Condensation do in a great Measure if not wholly depend upon and are altogether regulated by the Course Motion Position Situations or Aspects of the Superiour and Celestial Bodies or Planets And therefore 4thly We say that every Planet hath its own proper Light And as the Light of the Sun is one thing the Light of the Moon another so every Planet hath its distinct Light differing from all the other Now we must either say that this Light is a bare Quality and that the utmost Use and End of it is only to illuminate and there is no Light but is accompanied further with some Power Virtue or Tincture that is proper to it which if granted it will inform us then that every Light hath its own Property it s own Tincture and Colour it s own specifique Virtue and Power and that according to the several Bodies of Light there are several Properties Tinctures and Powers and that as one Star differs from another in Glory according to the Apostle so one Star and one Planet differs from another in its Virtue in its Colour in its Tincture and in its Property And consequently that those eminent Stars and Planets that are in the Heavens are not to be considered by us as sluggish inergetical Bodies or as if they were set only to be as bare Candles to us but as Bodies full of proper Motion of peculiar Operation and of Life The Sun not only shining upon the rest of the Planets but by his quickning Warmth awakening stirring and raising the Motions Properties and Powers that are peculiar to them According therefore to the Angles they make with the Sun and according as they are more or less enlightned by him according also as they are at the same time more directly or more obliquely more remotely or more nearly scituated and placed in respect to us so must the Effects of the Powers Virtues and Tinctures that are proper to them be more or less felt by us 5thly For the manner of the Planets transmitting these their Properties and Powers and of their affecting other Bodies at so remote Distance there is nothing begged or required in it that is insuperable to a Man's Apprehension or Belief seeing 1. We affirm not any Property Operation Virtue or Power to be transmitted from any of the said Planets but what doth descend with its Light and is the real Property of its Light 2. No Man judgeth that the Light of any Planet or of the Sun it self is refracted or by any other means weakned hindred or impaired by the Aether or that Substance which fills up the Space between one Planet and another through which it passeth but that it doth descend whole directly and inrefracted unto or upon our Atmosphere 3. But whatsoever is received by the Atmosphere is also received by the thin and subtile Air that is contiguous to the Atmosphere And this Air therefore cannot but be capable of being moved stirred altered and impressed by these Properties Virtues and Lights as penetrating each Part of it 4. Not only the Air by reason of its Thinness and Subtilty is capable of being thus penetrated moved and altered by these Planetary Virtues and Lights But forasmuch also as our Spirits and the Spirits likewise of all mix'd Bodies are really of an Aerious Ethereal Luminous Production and Composition these Spirits therefore of ours and the Spirits of all other Bodies must necessarily no less suffer an Impression from the same Lights and cannot be less subject to an Alteration Motion Agitation and Infection through them and by them than the other viz. the Air But rather as our Spirits are more near and more Analogous to the Nature of Light than the Air so they must be more prone and easy to be impressed than it And if our Spirits and the Spirits of all mix'd Bodies may be altered changed moved and impressed by these superiour Bodies and their Properties then these Spirits being the only Principles of Energy Power Force and Life in all Bodies wherein they are and the immediate Causes through which all Alteration comes to the Bodies themselves It is impossible therefore Spirits should be altered and changed and yet no Alteration made in the Bodies themselves and therefore a less Limit or Extream cannot be set to the Power or Operation or Force of the superiour Bodies upon the Inferiour than what must terminate at length into the very Bodies themselves 5. As a further Confirmation or Proof of this in reference at least to our selves I shall offer to your Consideration the Accidents that often happen to Men by the mere Air as Convulsions Cramps Blastings Lameness Colds many of which indure a Man's Life-time and which with many bitter Infirmities that sometimes seize upon a Man while standing walking or lying in the Air are rarely or never felt or discerned at the Instant of their Approach or Insults upon a Man nor yet accompanied with the Sense of any Excess in the Air for Heat or Cold at that time and therefore not well referrable to any Cause in the Air if not to the Power of those Properties and Operations of the Celestial Bodies that we speak of And this I submit to the Judgment of common Experience 6. Lastly As the Sun-shining on the rest of the Planets doth not as we said only barely illuminate their Bodies but besides this through the Power Virtue and Activity it hath doth also raise excite awaken and stir up the several Properties and Dispositions that are in those several and respective Bodies whereby they are more lively and effectually brought forth upon us so we are to suppose it is in reference to this our Planet which is the Earth which is not only enlightned warmed cherished and fructified by the Power Virtue and Influence of the Sun but hath its proper Magnetical Planetary Virtue also fermented stirred agitated and awakened in it which it remits back with the reflected Light of the Sun and together with this Magnetick Planetary Property of the Earth which is stirred and raised by the Sun are awakened also the seminal Dispositions Odors and Ferments that are lodged in and proper
