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. Weigel, Valentin, 1533-1588. 1649 (1649) Wing W1255; Thomason E562_14; ESTC R204068 39,144 50

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
of the former World by the Ens of that slime is made pertaker of the same essence nature propriety as the Macrocosme had in it self For the whole great world existing and being compact in that quintessence of extracted slime forthwith it followed that the whole Macrocosme was complicitly collected and transposed into man by divine formation the substance and nature of the Macrocosme remaining neverthelesse safe and intire For such is the condition in the universal production and generation of things that every like of it self produceth his like and that without destruction of its essence and nature Hence that which hath its originall and derivation from God is the same that God is 3. John That which is born of the Spirit is Spirit That which is born of the flesh is flesh The Spirit or breath of God which is in Man immidiately proceeds from God therefore God is of a truth in Man by the Ens of inspiration That which hath its originall and derivation from the world is the same that the world is The soul and body of man are immediately taken extracted and composed of the World therefore the world is of a truth in Man by the Ens of slime So the first Man made of the Macrocosme bears in himself the Macrocosme with the essence and nature of all creatures complicated collected and compacted together yet neverthelesse he formed us to his body of the Elements and things elementated as to his soul of the soul of the Macrocosme or the Spirit of Nature which contains and comprehends in himself the whole Firmament with all its Starrs and astralique vertues and operations So it comes to passe That there is nothing without a man in the whole heaven of Nature and in all the Elements with which man in his composition doth not participate and is endued with its Nature But there are two things in which the Microcosme and the Macrocosme differ and appear to be contrary to wit The forme of the person and the complication of things As to the form it seemed good to divine wisdom to convert that Masse extracted from the Macrocosme and to be converted into a man not to put and set it into the form of the Macrocosme which is round and circular Nor according to the animall form But it pleased him to erect and apply it to the form of his own Image and similitude Man neverthelesse in the mean time remaining the Macrocosme Therefore this difference doth not touch his essence The form doth not take away the truth of the subject that man may not be believed to be the Macrocosme As to the complication or composition of all naturall things into one body or into one person all things cannot be apparent and distinctly known together in a Man one thing after an other as it is excited and provoked See concerning this this Foundation of Wisdom by Paracelsus is manifest and flourisheth in the species other things in the mean time remaining hid in the Macrocosme all things are explicitly existing living and operating in the species But in the Macrocosme all things are compact and conjoyned together Moreover after that Man the Microcosme was and held all things now in himself out of which he was taken behold the whole plenitude of Nature as well corporally as spiritually was conjoyned in him and as a most rich Treasure collected and laid up in one Centre yet so as man should be all things complicitly and yet none of them all explicitly And from this Protop last or first formed man and begetter of all even in like manner are we constituted and formed Adam 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 not of the same slime or Masse as that was in the beginning whereof Adam was made But by a Masse extracted from the substance of the Microcosme which we with Paracelsus call the Ens of seed which seed hath and bears in it self complicitly the whole Macrocosme that is Man and thence the humane off-spring as to the essence nature and propriety in all things a like grows and comes forth to its begetter as a most lively image which truly could not be done if all these things did not lie hid were extant in the Ens of the seed Hence every one of us hath the same in himself essentially delivered over to himself by the Ens of the seed from his parent which the first man received and had from the extracted Macrocosme by the Ens of slime to wit an elemental body from the Elements and a soul or syderean spirit from the Firmament CHAP. 5. That all kinds of Sciences Studies Actions and lifes flourishing amongst men on the earth and Sea do testifie That all Astrologie that is naturall wisdom with all it's species is and is to be really found in every man And so all things whatsoever men act on earth is produced moved governed and acted from the inward heaven And what are the Starrs which a wise man ought to rule IT is manifest therefore by the abovesaid how man appeareth to be made at length as to his Creation and Formation of slime that is from the Macrocosme 1. Because Man the Macrocosme placed in the Macrocosme agreeth altogether as well with the whole Firmament as with all the Elements and is one and the same his form only excepted as we see rednesse to be altogether one and the same in wine with wine and whitenesse in snow and with snow Then it followeth Seeing Man for himself and in himself is the whole world as he which hath his proper Heaven his proper Firmament and Spirit of Nature with the Sun Moon Planets and all the Starrs with him in himself of which from within he is constellated inclined directed moved excited drawn turned governed taught illuminated made joyfull made sad is fortunate and affected It is manifest that he is in no wise forced and compelled by the externall Firmament of the Macrocosme our soul of the world that he should assume and take a mind and affections of willing doing and operating this or that from without from the revolution and inclination or constellation of the celestiall Starrs in the Macrocosme For their opinion is of no moment who not rightly knowing the Macrocosme are fallen into that errour that they doubt not to determin That man by the externall influence of the Starrs by a certain naturall necessity is conditioned predestinated constellated directed compelled and driven to this or that good or evill Hence those false Proverbs the Starrs incline the Starrs rule men which is in no sort so if according to their opinion it be understood of the externall Starrs But we must know that all things whatsoever that are done by men as well in soul as in body arise and proceed from within from their own proper inclination and nature Within I say in man is that Heaven that Planet that Sydus or Starr by which he is inclined constituted predestinated and signed to this or that and not
