Soul of the Universe which according to the Opinion of the Academicks vivifyeth all manner of things In Confirmation whereof that you may the better believe it to be so represent unto your self without any prejudicacy of Spirit in a clear and serene Fancy the Idea and Form of some other World than this take if you please and lay hold on the thirtieth of those which the Philosopher Methrodorus did enumerate wherein it is to be supposed there is no Debtor or Creditor that is to say a World without Debts There amongst the Planets will be no regular Course all will be in Disorder Iupiter reckoning himself to be nothing indebted unto Saturn will go near to detrude him out of his Sphere and with the Homerick Chain will be like to hang up the Intelligences Gods Heavens Demons Heroes Devils Earth and Sea together with the other Elements Saturn no doubt combining with Mars will reduce that so disturbed World into a Chaos of Confusion Mercury then would be no more subjected to the other Planets he would scorn to be any longer their Camillus as he was of old termed in the Hetrurian Tongue for it is to be imagined that he is no way a Debtor to them Venus will be no more Venerable because she shall have lent nothing The Moon will remain bloody and obscure For to what end should the Sun impart unto her any of his Light He owed her nothing Nor yet will the Sun shine upon the Earth nor the Stars send down any good Influence because the Terrestrial Globe hath desisted from sending up their wonted Nourishment by Vapours and Exhalations wherewith Heraclitus said the Stoicks proved Cicero maintained they were cherished and alimented There would likeways be in such a World no manner of Symbolization Alteration nor Transmutation amongst the Elements for the one will not esteem it self obliged to the other as having borrowed nothing at all from it Earth then will not become Water Water will not be changed into Air of Air will be made no Fire and Fire will afford no Heat unto the Earth the Earth will produce nothing but Monsters Titans Giants no Rain will descend upon it nor Light shine thereon no Wind will blow there nor will there be in it any Summer or Harvest Lu●●fer will break loose and issuing forth of the depth of Hell accompanied with his Furies Fiends and Horned Devils will go about to unnestle and drive out of Heaven all the Gods as well of the greater as of the lesser Nations Such a World without lending will be no better than a Dog-kennel a place of Contention and Wrangling more unruly and irregular than that of the Rector of Paris a Devil of an Hurly-burly and more disordered Confusion than that of the Plagues of Douay Men will not then salute one another it will be but lost labour to expect Aid or Succour from any or to cry Fire Water Murther for none will put to their helping Hand Why He lent no Money there is nothing due to him No body is concerned in his Burning in his Shipwrack in his Ruine or in his Death and that because he hitherto had lent nothing and would never thereafter have lent any thing In short Faith Hope and Charity would be quite banish'd from such a World for Men are born to relieve and assist one another and in their stead should succeed and be introduced Defiance Disdain and Rancour with the most execrable Troop of all Evils all Imprecations and all Miseries Whereupon you will think and that not amiss that Pandora had there spilt her unlucky Bottle Men unto Men will be Wolves Hobthrushers and Goblins as were Lycaon Bellorophon Nebuchodonosor Plunderers High-way Robbers Cut-throats Rapperees Murtherers Payloners Assassinators lewd wicked malevolent pernicious Haters set against every body like to Ismael Metabus or Timon the Athenian who for that cause was named Misanthropos in such sort that it would prove much more easie in Nature to have Fish entertained in the Air and Bullocks fed in the bottom of the Ocean than to support or tolerate a rascally Rabble of People that will not Lend These Fellows I vow do I hate with a perfect Hatred and if conform to the pattern of this grievous peevish and perverse World which lendeth nothing you figure and liken the little World which is Man you will find in him a terrible justling Coyle and Clutter The Head will not lend the sight of his Eyes to guide the Feet and Hands the Legs will refuse to bear up the Body the Hands will leave off working any more for the rest of the Members the Heart will be weary of its continual Motion for the beating of the Pulse and will no longer lend his Assistance the Lungs will withdraw the use of their Bellows the Liver will desist from convoying any more Blood through the Veins for the good of the whole the Bladder will not be indebted to the Kidneys so that the Urine thereby will be totally stopped The Brains in the interim considering this unnatural course will fall into a raving Dotage and with-hold all feeling from the Sinews and Motion from the Muscles Briefly in such a World without Order and Array owing nothing lending nothing and borrowing nothing you would see a more dangerous Conspiration than that which Esope exposed in his Apologue Such a World will perish undoubtedly and not only perish but perish very quickly Were it Asculapius himself his Body would immediately rot and the chafing Soul full of Indignation take its Flight to all the Devils of Hell after my Money CHAP. IV. Panurge continueth his Discourse in the praise of Borrowers and Lenders ON the contrary be pleased to represent unto your Fancy another World wherein every one lendeth and every one oweth all are Debtors and all Creditors O how great will that Harmony be which shall thereby result from the regular Motions of the Heavens Methinks I hear it every whit as well as ever Plato did What Sympathy will there be amongst the Elements O how delectable then unto Nature will be our own Works and Productions Whilst Ceres appeareth loaden with Corn Bacchus with Wines Flora with Flowers Pomona with Fruits and Iuno fair in a clear Air wholsom and pleasant I lose my self in this high Contemplation Then will among the Race of Mankind Peace Love Benevolence Fidelity Tranquility Rest Banquets Feastings Joy Gladness Gold Silver single Money Chains Rings with other Ware and Chaffer of that nature be found to trot from hand to hand no Suits at Law no Wars no Strife Debate nor wrangling none will be there an Usurer none will be there a Pinch-penny a Scrape-good Wretch or churlish hard-hearted Refuser Good God! Will not this be the Golden Age in the Reign of Saturn The true Idea of the Olympick Regions wherein all Vertues cease Charity alone ruleth governeth domineereth and triumpheth All will be fair and goodly People there all just and vertuous O happy World O People of that

World most happy Yea thrice and four times blessed is that People I think in very deed that I am amongst them and swear to you by my good Forsooth that if this glorious aforesaid World had a Pope abounding with Cardinals that so he might have the Association of a Sacred Colledge in the space of very few years you should be sure to see the Sancts much thicker in the Roll more numerous wonder-working and mirifick more Services more Vows more Staves and Wax-Candles than are all those in the Nine Bishopricks of Britany St. Yves only excepted Consider Sir I pray you how the noble Patelin having a mind to Deity and extol even to the Third Heavens the Father of William Iosseaume said no more but this And he did lend his Goods to those who were desirous of them O the fine Saying Now let our Microcosm be fancied conform to this Model in all its Members lending borrowing and owing that is to say according to its own Nature For Nature hath not to any other end created Man but to owe borrow and lend no greater is the Harmony amongst the Heavenly Spheres than that which shall be found in its well-ordered Policy The Intention of the Founder of this Microcosm is to have a Soul therein to be entertained which is lodged there as a Guest with its Host it may live there for a while Life consisteth in Blood Blood is the Seat of the Soul therefore the chiefest Work of the Microcosm is to be making Blood continually At this Forge are exercised all the Members of the Body none is exempted from Labour each operates apart and doth its proper Office And such is their Hierarchy that perpetually the one borrows from the other the one lends the other and the one is the others Debtor The stuff and matter convenient which Nature giveth to be turned into Blood is Bread and Wine All kind of nourishing Victuals is understood to be comprehended in these two and from hence in the Gothish Tongue is called Companage To find out this Meat and Drink to prepare and boil it the Hands are put to Work the Feet do walk and bear up the whole Bulk of the Corporal Mass the Eyes guide and conduct all the Appetite in the Orifice of the Stomach by means of little sowrish black Humour called Melancholy which is transmitted thereto from the Milt giveth warning to shut in the Food The Tongue doth make the first Essay and tastes it the Teeth do chaw it and the Stomach doth receive digest and chylifie it the Mesaraick Veins suck out of it what is good and fit leaving behind the Excrements which are through special Conduits for that purpose voided by an expulsive Faculty thereafter it is carried to the Liver where it being changed again it by the vertue of that new Transmutation becomes Blood What Joy conjecture you will then be found amongst those Officers when they see this Rivolet of Gold which is their sole Restorative No greater is the Joy of Alchimists when after long Travel Toil and Expence they see in their Furnaces the Transmutation Then is it that every Member doth prepare it self and strive a-new to purifie and to refine this Treasure The Kidneys through the emulgent Veins draw that Aquosity from thence which you call Urine and there send it away through the Ureters to be slipt downwards where in a lower Recepticle and proper for it to wit the Bladder it is kept and stayeth there until an opportunity to void it out in his due time The Spleen draweth from the Blood its Terrestrial part viz. The Grounds Lees or thick Substance setled in the bottom thereof which you term Melancholy The Bottle of the Gall substracts from thence all the superfluous Choler whence it is brought to another Shop or Work-house to be yet better purified and fined that is the Heart which by its agitation of Diastolick and Systolick Motions so neatly subtilizeth and inflames it that in the right side Ventricle it is brought to perfection and through the Veins is sent to all the Members each parcel of the Body draws it then unto its self and after its own fashion is cherished and alimented by it Feet Hands Thighs Arms Eyes Ears Back Breast yea all and then it is that who before were Lenders now become Debtors The Heart doth in its left side Ventricle so thinnifie the Blood that it thereby obtains the Name of Spiritual which being sent through the Arteries to all the Members of the Body serveth to warm and winnow the other Blood which runneth through the Veins The Lights never cease with its Lappets and Bellows to cool and refresh it in acknowledgment of which good the Heart through the Arterial Vein imparts unto it the choicest of its Blood At last it is made so fine and subtle within the Rete Mirabilis that thereafter those Animal Spirits are framed and composed of it by means whereof the Imagination Discourse Judgment Resolution Deliberation Ratrocination and Memory have their Rise Actings and Operations Cops body I sink I drown I perish I wander astray and quite fly out of my self when I enter into the Consideration of the profound Abyss of this World thus lending thus owing Believe me it is a Divine thing to lend to owe an Heroick Vertue Yet is not this all this little World thus lending owing and borrowing is so good and charitable that no sooner is the above-specified Alimentation finished but that it forthwith projecteth and hath already forecast how it shall lend to those who are not as yet born and by that Loan endeavour what it may to eternize it self and multiply in Images like the Pattern that is Children To this end every Member hath of the choicest and most precious of its Nourishment pare and cut off a Portion then instantly dispatcheth it downwards to that place where Nature hath prepared for it very fit Vessels and Receptacles through which descending to the Genitories by long Ambages Circuits and Flexuosities it receiveth a competent Form and Rooms apt enough both in the Man and Woman for the future Conservation and perpetuating of Humane kind All this is done by Loans and Debts of the one unto the other and hence have we this word the Debt of Marriage Nature doth reckon Pain to the Refuser with a most grievous Vexation to his Members and an outragious Fury amidst his Senses But on the other part to the Lender a set Reward accompanied with Pleasure Joy Solace Mirth and merry Glee CHAP. V. How Pantagruel altogether abhorreth the Debtors and Borrowers I Understand you very well quoth Pantagruel and take you to be very good at Topicks and throughly affectioned to your own Cause But preach it up and patrocinate it prattle on it and defend it as much as you will even from hence to the next Whitsuntide if you please so to do yet in the end will you be astonished to find how you shall have gained no ground at all upon

is to ejaculate the Moisture for the Propagation of Humane Progeny Least you should think it is not so be pleased but to contemplate a little the Form Fashion and Carriage of a Man exceeding earnestly set upon some Learned Meditation and deeply plunged therein and you shall see how all the Arteries of his Brains are stretched forth and bent like the String of a Cross-bow the more promptly dexterously and copiously to suppeditate furnish and supply him with store of Spirits sufficient to replenish and fill up the Ventricles Seats Tunnels Mansions Receptacles and Celluls of the common Sense of the Imagination Apprehension and Fancy of the Ratiocination Arguing and Resolution as likewise of the Memory Recordation and Remembrance and with great alacrity nimbleness and agility to run pass and course from the one to the other through those Pipes Windings and Conduits which to skilful Anatomists are perceivable at the end of the Wonderful Net where all the Arteries close in a terminating Point which Arteries taking their rise and origine from the left Capsul of the Heart bring through several Circuits Ambages and Anfractuosities the Vital to subtilize and refine them to the Aetherial Purity of Animal Spirits Nay in such a studiously musing Person you may espy so extravagant Raptures of one as it were out of himself that all his Natural Faculties for that time will seem to be suspended from each their proper charge and office and his exteriour Senses to be at a stand In a word you cannot otherways choose then think that he is by an extraordinary Extasie quite transported out of what he was or should be and that Socrates did not speak improperly when he said That Philosophy was nothing else but a Meditation upon Death This possibly is the reason why Democritus deprived himself of the Sense of Seeing prizing at a much lower rate the loss of his Sight than the diminution of his Contemplations which he frequently had found disturbed by the vagrant flying-out strayings of his unsetled and roving Eyes Therefore is it that Pallas the Goddess of Wisdom Tutress and Guardianess of such as are diligently studious and painfully industrious is and hath been still accounted a Virgin The Muses upon the same consideration are esteemed perpetual Maids and the Graces for the like reason have been held to continue in a sempiternal Pudicity I remember to have read that Cupid on a time being asked of his Mother Venus why he did not assault and set upon the Muses his Answer was That he found them so fair so sweet so fine so neat so wise so learned so modest so discreet so courteous so vertuous and so continually busied and employed One in the Speculation of the Stars another in the Supputation of Numbers the Third in the Dimension of Geometrical Quantities the Fourth in the Composition of Heroick Poems the Fifth in the jovial Interludes of a Comick Strain the Sixth in the stately Gravity of a Tragick Vein the Seventh in the Melodious Disposition of Musical Airs the Eighth in the compleatest manner of Writing Histories and Books on all sorts of Subjects and the Ninth in the Mysteries Secrets and Curiosities of all Sciences Faculties Disciplines and Arts whatsoever whether Liberal or Mechanick that ap●proaching near unto them he unbended his Bow shut his Quiver and extinguished his Torch through meer shame and fear that by mischance he might do them some hurt or prejudice which done he thereafter put off the Fillet wherewith his Eyes were bound to look them in the Face and to hear their Melody and Poetick Odes There took he the greatest pleasure in the World that many times he was transported with their Beauty and pretty Behaviour and charmed asleep by the Harmony so far was he from assaulting them or interrupting their Studies Under this Article may be comprised what Hippocrates wrote in the aforecited Treatise concerning the Scythians as also that in a Book of his entituled Of Breeding and Production where he hath affirmed all such Men to be unfit for Generation as have their Parotid Arteries cut whose Situation is beside the Ears for the reason given already when I was speaking of the resolution of the Spirits and of that Spiritual Blood whereof the Arteries are the sole and proper Receptacles and that likewise he doth maintain a large portion of the Parastatick Liquor to issue and descend from the Brains and Back-bone Fifthly By the too frequent reiteration of the Act of Venery There did I wait for you quoth Panurge and shall willingly apply it to my self whilst any one that pleaseth may for me make use of any of the four preceding That is the very same thing quoth Fryar Ihon which Father Scyllino Prior of Saint Victor at Marseilles calleth by the Name of Maceration and taming of the Flesh. I am of the same Opinion and so was the Hermite of Saint Radegonde a little above Chinon for quoth he the Hermites of Thebaida can no more aptly or expediently macerate and bring down the Pride of their Bodies daunt and mortifie their leacherous Sensuality or depress and overcome the stubbornness and rebellion of the Flesh then by dufling and fanferluching it Five and twenty or Thirty times a day I see Panurge quoth Rondibilis neatly featured and proportioned in all the Members of his Body of a good temperament in his Humors well complexioned in his Spirits of a competent Age in an opportune Time and of a reasonably forward Mind to be married truly if he encounter with a Wife of the like Nature Temperament and Constitution he may beget upon her Children worthy of some Transpontine Monarchy and the sooner he marry it will be the better for him and the more conducible for his Profit if he would see and have his Children in his own time well provided for Sir my worthy Master quoth Panurge I will do it do not you doubt thereof and that quickly enough I warrant you Nevertheless whilst you were busied in the uttering of your Learned Discourse this Flea which I have in mine Ear hath tickled me more then ever I retain you in the Number of my Festival Guests and promise you that we shall not want for Mirth and Good Chear enough yea over and above the ordinary Rate And if it may please you desire your Wife to come along with you together with her She-Friends and Neighbours That is to be understood and there shall be fair Play CHAP. XXXII How Rondibilis declareth Cuckoldry to be naturally one of the Appendances of Marriage THere remaineth as yet quoth Panurge going on in his Discourse one small scruple to be cleared you have seen heretofore I doubt not in the Roman Standards S. P. Q. R. Si Peu Que Rien Shall not I be a Cuckold By the Haven of Safety cried out Rondibilis what is this you ask of me If you shall be a Cuckold My Noble Friend I am married and you are like to be so very speedily therefore be pleased
