Dying to live was then the way prepar'd Against the sting of Death that all men fear'd While living to dye Nature her course thus stear'd By Death to kill a Death in Life once cur'd All pangs on Life by Death eas'ly indur'd Are unto those in whom Lifes Crown Insur'd But How Nature from its Paradise did sink Into a lower station where did link Causes together of that Golden Chain Under whose drawing power doth remain Subjects of her Dominions now become Vasels unto a Lord for what was done V. How he the Draggon thus came to prevail O'er Nature Subjects and his sting Intaile On her posterity by allowance took That Heavens suffering caus'd in her forsook By Angels of that Sphear their station kept Of Glory from Heaven reveal'd where Adam sleept The Mistery of which a secret was That Angels into prying became a cause Seals while remaining on Gods Book none can Vnloose untill times come that God in Man Hath taught a World Misterys to understand Of whole to be fulfill'd is now at hand VI. In order unto which take Observation Of what befell the World in its first station Where Saturn Angel of time with his sharp Sith Did seperate what from Coelus he did deprive By Circumcise of parts that Terra did catch When he by hand and Sith did thus dispatch Cause of Coelus's sufferings to seperate That which Blood of such wounds did Generate Forms of those Causes from Coelus once disjoyn'd Their Mother Earth Imbrased under like kinde Of a disjunction made twixt her and Coelus ' Gainst whom she did conspire with Natures Bellows What to do VII To blow up Natures Cole unto a fire Her Subjects could not quench under the Ire Of Instigated Saturn to unthrone His Father Coelus when an Eunuch grown For From Heaven was then cast down those monsterous shapes Which were cut off by Saturn as Coelu's escapes Until this time of Circumcision came Thereby made Circumventive to Coelus of blame Whence Gyants these sprung up Monstroufly form'd With many Heads of beast that was ten horn'd For unto Earth was cast Members defil'd No more to Generate in Heaven a Child VIII But then sufferings of Coelus from that cause Blood spilt and sown on Earth ' gainst Natures Laws Created vengance from the Throne of Power Retaliated on him who did devour In cutting off those Members his own race Whom when made vomit up did him displace From the usurped Seat whence he disthron'd Of Members was depriv'd and unbemoan'd In his Exile where none but Janus dar'd In Italy to harbour what was spar'd By Sword of Jove who Nourish'd was in Creet And was confind where miseries do meet How IX As into time was brought hells hot desire Which did create Eternal flames of fire Those forms to destroy which Nature gave In Childhood to be nurss'd towards their grave While open throat of Saturn down doth swollow All principles to Blood in whom did wallow Natures first birth cast forth in open Field Vnswadled there while none respect did yield Like to Celeus unto Saturns Daughter Who took in Ceres while she wandring after Her Proserpine whom ravish'd and led to hell From her was lost with Pluto constraind to dwell What X. A Subject of Pluto though in hell a Queen She in Natures adorn doth sometimes seem While Plutus her Mothers Son by Jason hides The Gold that Ram did carry o'er Neptunes tides Whom Horse begot on Cerees did cause that shame She bares for Neptunes sake where rests the blame Of what she having let in the first was lost While second in Earth appear'd hers in third crost But Angel of Justice Heavens did retain A thundering Jove in Vesta did remain Whom Saturn on Ops did Generate to be Heavens restitution made of Liberty But do you Ask XI How from the fall of Lucifur did rise The Draggon unto Power for our surprize How Lucifur cast down and under chain Of Darkness there kept was so to remain Reserv'd unto the Judgment of a day By fire trys what thus from God did stray And yet how loos'd was such the Draggons power Who in all Ages labour'd to devour How he both loose and bound at once could be To serve Gods Justice and himself go free How while Christ in his suffering Saints did Reign He vengeance could escape from being slain XII This all to Answer is a task too great For humane wit or Art that may create More scruples then requir'd it to explain Because the Book thus seal'd must so remain Untill the Time is come to stand reveal'd All Misterys in Nature to be unseal'd For How bound think ye was he thus did prevail By such Vice-Roy the Beast over that Tail Made up of Heavens third part that had been drawn After the Draggon their head on whom did fawn Slaves of his Dominion Flattery did love From such his Tail he after him did move CHAP.

The cause we say of all these things appears When once the Curtians drawn in Aethers Sphears That he on dies form'd when seperated Was Light from Darkness by what God Created To be the Heavens and Earth were void of form While Oceanus cover'd as one unborn Stood capable of Heavens Impregnation On Vesta made the fruit of Gods Creation For Vesta's praise who thence receiv'd her light All then stood Cloath'd with Coelums Nature bright Cause vayld the Temple was whence light appear'd Made th' outward Nature of all things be fear'd IV. But till their Nature by Earths heir was worn And outward pomp was from Mans Heavens torn The outward Nature of all things did bare An Image form'd in Gods own Heavenly Sphear Till Neptunes Brats we say were born all stood Capable of form from the Eternal good Good 't was to him thus to create them so While evil lurk'd unform'd Mens mortal foe Proceeding whence took place the guilt of wo. But his Decree hereby was brought about His Head to break that caus'd the reble rout Conspir'd by Death whence all our evils sprout V. 'T was Amphitrite to whom stood first united Our powerfull Neptune whom hell fiends thus spited Having contriv'd the way to frame desire Of Ewe to self in kinde and Sheeps first sire From Natures harmless dress and best Atire Desire thus fram'd of One in twains partake The Tye in wedlock did fond Neptune brake For of Theophiness Neptune soon grew fond Who her in Ewe-skin cloath'd Wolf to Abscond From near approach because fear held the bond While he her other Lovers had transform'd Under the Wolf-like shape they stood Adorn'd VI. In Nature bliss and fortunes direct way All Labouring mov'd untill thus went astray Subjects created one Lord to obey Before our Adam did his Nature stain To be this one did Neptune strive amain And how to get the Fleece did Gold remain On fair Theophiness in such form of Ewe Who from such other Lovers amazed flew That by Enchantment Neptune Wolf-like form'd To fright his fair Theophiness with shaps scorn'd In form of Ram we say Neptune begot The Golden Fleece which of the Ram out shot VII Before the Ram of this his Fleece was shorn Or shape of Wolves were thus brought under scorn On such the Ram by whom was first begot The Golden Fleece of Neptune now lusts blot Phryxus to Colchos Rod a journey hence Before the Golden Fleece was carryed thence To Colchos from this our Elesian shore The Ram carryed our Gold to deck the whore When shorn and fleec'd he came now doth adore The Beasts form'd Image on a fleshly score Because while wounded was one head of power Six others grew and spread for mans devour VIII The Ram thus fleec'd as Phyxus then did Ride To carry Gold away o're Neptunes tide Ceres dismayed was to see transform'd From Ram to Horse with crest and huffs adorn'd But yet prepar'd was there a Cave to hide Her from the shame and loss that did betide Her wandring fancy after Proserpine By Jupiter begot in seeds of Time Cause Jason entering in that open Cave Thence brought his Plutus out from Natures grave While Neptune on Ceres venturing like attempt From cause of shame could not Ceres exempt IX For Daughter of Time in Saturn signify'd Was Ceres the Mother of Seed that did abide The loss of Proserpine her Daughter when She rang'd in Natures field to gather in To self the Flowers thereof until found ravish'd Was she by Pluto carry'd who time had lavish'd ' Mongst her Companions what Nature did then yeild Wisdom Beauty and Wealth to grace her Field While thus from her Companions in her prime She 's snatch'd to hell and there held a Rapine To dwell Six Months with Pluto as one famish'd Who thus from Venus Juno and Minerve stood banish'd For what cause X. Again to grace the World with Beauty new And shew the Power of him by whom then grew What she had gather'd in which did revive Other Six Months upon the Earth to thrive A seperated Seed of Natures Soyl Made subject to bare the Fruit of Adams toil By fancy of his own that Love Imbrass'd Who his Theophiness was on whom was plac'd That Virtue of his minde in Nature grac'd Till Love turn'd Lust was such a change in Man That Nature favour'd in the Cave of Pan Whence Ceres lighted Torches read who can What XI Devided Species of the Draggon was Such Beast of prey the Wolf that sets his paws Upon the Flower of Crowns in Natures Sphear Where Subjects of that Crown which Kings do ware Are Armed men Sprung up in Natures soyl Who ' gainst each other fight for his prevail Whose Teeth knockt out by our Medeas hand Were Sown to make the World to understand How sleepy Death over powr'd the grim assays ' Gainst her was made who Tract the Draggons ways Whom by no wit or Art could then uphold The Breach of tottering Walls from fall foretold XII While Bulls with fiery Mouths both huff'd and horn'd With Ire of sparkling brass Medea scorn'd Although they were a guard to Apples fair Which grew in Hespers Garden by such Air To grace his Orchard with such Fruit of Time He holds in hell for our Natures Rapine Thus was out charm'd the Draggon of his prize When once the seed first sown again did rise Hurt to prevent of Natures open tyes But how the Enemy did with mischief tange What thus became misplac'd to work such change If you 'l finde out consult in Natures range CHAP.
