when those aspects doe threaten us with his displeasure As also to render thankes and praises unto him when their constellations doe appeare favourable and gracious unto us which is the saving profit that is to be made by this study and waving all those fond fancies of mens wits of the time who by the new perspective glasses of their besotted imaginations frame a new world in the Moone as the other Heriticks of Copernicus his Sect and such as seeme to beleeve that the Sun is a fixt Center and the World to be like a joynt of meat spitted which turns and windes about it besides divers other speculations that the number of the Heavens and Starres should not have been well calculated questioning the plurality of Heavens and whether the Starres as in a liquid Christall doe flow and swiftly slide along whether the different motions of the Starres agree with the violence of the Suns beames and answer unto its repercussions rendring them stationaries or retrogrades where withall the emptinesse is filled whether or no the matter of Heaven can endure more or lesse penetration then the water the aire or the fire can since that all things are either heavie or light and that so the Starres being of a light substance ought to ascend up or to descend if so be they were of a heavie matter Of Geographie AS History representeth unto man all the marvellous workes which God hath done from time to time so Geographie is as the eye of man or as the Looking-glasse of History for that it doth represent unto him in a moment the most accomplisht Master-peece of all the marvellous works which God hath created And certainly the question will not prove impertinent whether it would not be an even lay either to have eyes and to bee unwilling to see the workes of God or to see them and to have no minde to consider what they are And what shall Lovers of knowledge say of those who are heires to faire houses and estates and who have not the curiosity to know their dimensions distincts and extents What shall Lovers of Vertue and Knowledge say unto those who account themselves to be as it were at Gamaliels feet and remaine far more ignorant then those who never came neare him even such as should take roomes in the famous Universities of this Land and neare unto the noble Innes of Court and would not apply themselves to the Sciences that are profest in them shall the rationall creature be placed in an earthly Paradise and not delight in its observance Shall any man indued with reason runne from home to heare strangers tell him how his fathers house is built and how his lands doe lye Geography should be as familiar to every Inhabitant of the earth as his chambers Looking-glasse is in the which he delights to see his owne face and so much the more since by the said study he may attaine to the knowledge of all the Inhabitants possessions of the earth and that at his first setting forth he may appeare to be an heire of all the world and no stranger but that he can make every place his owne home and that he can make himself to be as welcome in any part of Europe as at his owne home by letting men see that he hath studied what they are And as by the said knowledge men attaine not onely unto the knowledge of the repertitions of the earth of the variety of Nations Lawes and Customes of their Maximes but also of their wealth and commodities and how they must be dealt withall and also how to take all fit advantages against them so every Student in that Art may without stirring from his Chamber travell through all the world and in his minde converse with all the Princes in the world as well as with all the severall Nations and Inhabitants thereof He will soon represent unto himselfe all the principall parts in Asia those of Africa those of Europe and America with all the Islands Seas and Rivers and insensibly beget in himselfe a generall acquaintance of all what those severall parts of the world doe possesse If so be he may be justly moved to procure unto himselfe as much as possibly he can all those laudable and necessary quallities which all other Nations doe value and for the want of which he is by some esteemed no lesse then a bruite Neither shall we need to exclude the most eminent persons nay such Princes as are not verst in them When the Grand Signior himselfe by the fundamentall Law of his Empire he must practice not onely a Science but a Trade and must put his worke to sale Amongst the Roman Emperours there were those who have publickly acted and sung Others did Draw Paint Limne Ingrave were Turners and made Watches And who but the noble Egyptians were at first permitted to study Astronomy They were Kings as the Wise men who had seen the Starre of the Sonne of Righteousnesse Of Musicke HOw Musicke time out of minde hath been cherished by the great ones of the Earth wee all know and what is due to that Art for that it came downe from Heaven to denounce the birth of his onely Sonne before whose glorious Divine Majesty legions of Angels covered their faces and do sing a perpetuall heavenly Hallelujah And as in an harmonious Consort the Singers and the Royall Prophet became for that time companions in one Chorus so the poorest of this world by singing the praises of our God will become the companions of Angels and Arch-angels by a generall Laudate Dominum And in this manner all men may make themselves happy by all the vocations and unto whatsoever Art or Science they may addict themselves so they can resolve to doe that in this present time which the holy Writ foretelleth both of an Age and of Nations yet to come in a new world One day of which shall be as light as the light of seven dayes and that in those dayes God shall be praised by all things whatsoever men shall take in hand And then doubtlesse Arithmeticke will serve unto all men for to reckon the number of their dayes to apply their hearts unto wisdome Geometry for to know how to leavie unto each man his owne Cosmography to direct the eyes of the soule towards the Garden of Angels and there to delight perpetually in the admiration of him who hath made those great and glorious heavenly creatures Geography to admire the extent and variety of Gods admirable riches bestowed on the sons of men The Art of Perspective consisting in Points and Signes to fixe mens Meditations perpetually on God by an uneffable assurance that all the traces of mans life shall be perfect so they have God for their Director and Center So likewise all other Arts Sciences and Mathematicall conclusions and expedients may serve like unto so many steps for to lead the mind of man into a condition to love wisdome which is to be valued above all things Even
