Ge●ii were accounted the moderators and disposers of the Planets and their Influences at mens Nativities Horace lib. 2 epist 2. Scit Genius natale comes qui temperat afirum Those Doemons also whom the Heathen attribute so much the dependancie of our resolutions unto were called Genii as begetting the thoughts of men and working on them And perhaps the frequency of these Spirits and opinions before our Saviour's time was the occasion of that more absurd conceit set down by scoffi●g ●ucian in his Menippus That the shadows which our bodies cast in the Sun-shine will be witnesse against us in the other world With reference to these Genii must that of the Poet. Aen. 6. v. 643. be interpreted Quisque suos patimur manes i. e.
