do with the Hebrew Rabbies justly apply the essence of the first emanation unto Mitattron which emanation is said to enter by the royall port or gate Cheter or Corona For know that this catholick Angell is said to be the first creature because it importeth the spirit of the world which did first receive the first-born son or the Emperiall emanation from the Attribute of God called EHIAH which is a name of eternity for that it containeth and doth respect the time past the time present and the time to come For this cause therefore doth this great Angel style it self Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end The first influence therefore which was of universall life and essence is received by the Angel Mitattron which is for this reason called Donum Dei after it was shouted down from the port Cheter into the highest order of the Angells called Seraphin which by reason of their propinquity unto the throne of God are said to burn or be set on fire with divine love And hereupon these have their excellent beauty and clearnesse by reason of this sacred influence which is so full of the loving benignity of the Father of light From thence this potent angelicall nature conducts the beams of this light into the convexity of the aetheriall heaven and there bestowes it as in a generall magazin or store-house which place it afterwards informs or vivifieth insomuch that by the admirable action and motion thereof it is called Primum mobile or that sphear which moveth first in the heavens and by his motion it turneth the naturall or temporall world round about from the East unto the West in twenty four houres The mover is this catholick Angel of the world full of this eternall emanation by which it animates the world Therefore also is Sapientia said to be omnium rerum priùs creata the first of all creatures and Fluxus virtutis Dei emana●io claritatis ejus omni re mobilior penetrans ubique propter suam munditiam permanens in se omnia innovans It is an influence of the vertue of God and the shining forth of his brightnesse which is the most movable of all things penetrating all things by his purenesse and being one in essence reneweth all things that is it reviveth every thing By which it is plain that this catholick emanation is the soul of the world having endued or put on the universall angelicall spirit and therefore is called by the holy Text a Creature so that the catholick created spirit of the world is the Primum mobile for by this first-born emanation from God it is animated and moved as by the swiftest mover in the world and the mover is tearmed Primus motor both together or called Mundi anima which therefore is defined to be in respect of the created spirit thus animated Primum mobile spo●te per se mobile The first thing moved which is moved voluntarily and by it self And for this reason also the animal faculty in man which is sedes animae intellectulis is said to move voluntarily when the action ●f the vitall and naturall faculty compared unto the etheriall and elementary heaven do move unvoluntarily that is at the will of the first mover And this work is therefore assigned unto this sphear with the legions of intelligences that are derived from and created there by their catholick head which is the said grand Arch-angell as beams from one Sun partly to hinder the starry lights which were after created from burning the elementary world or working by their long continued impression too violent and unnaturall alterations as also to make a proportionable day and night unto the earth To conclude by this angelicall act the whole spirit of the world was generally inacted The divine emanation which issued from the second Sephiret or port called Hochma which is sent out by the Attribute IAH passeth into the order of the Cherubins which signifieth the plenitude of Science and abundance of the gifts of Wisdom and is received of the Arch-angel Zophiel which by the etymology of his name argueth pulchritude as being replenished with an infinity of particular beams of life But another calleth this keeper and conductor of these beams Ruziel who immediately doth direct them into the firmament or heaven of the fixt starrs and principally into the broad girdle of the starry heaven which is called the Zodiack arguing by the etymology of his name that the beams of this emanation do chiefly work and fashion out ideally the liniments of an infinity of particularities in the elementary world as shall be demonstrated hereafter The third effluxion which is made from the port Binah under the protection of the name ELOHIM descendeth immediately into the order of the Thrones arguing thereby Gods severe property full of ●udgment and is received by the Arch-angel Zabkiel or as others will have it of Kaspiel which is as much to say as Genius Cholerae magnae and this effluxion is conducted down into the next sphear below the firmament which it informeth according unto the naturall property of the divine influx and it procreateth the globe of Saturn which it replenisheth with spirits or inferiour intelligences called by the name of Saturnine Intelligences which send down these influences into the elementary world to produce effects according unto their nature as well in the aire and water as in and upon the earth The fourth emanation which is derived from the conduit-pipe of Chesed over which the word EL hath dominion is received of the angelicall order of Dominations which import power against evill spirits and the benefit of life and breath and then is committed unto the Arch-angel Zadkiel which is by interpretation Genius justitiae and this Angel according unto the nature of the influence which it carrieth is a friend unto the true Justice in the proportion of the elements and a friend unto the creature's life wherefore it conducteth the beams of this property into the next or be below Saturn which they make a dwelling place for an infinity of spirits that are created out of the same informing influence and therefore are of its property This Terra Angelica Olympi is tearmed the Star of Jupiter and these kinds of Olympick spirits are tearmed Jovial Intelligences which do poure forth the streams of their influence into the elementary regions and animateth the spirits of its nature which work effects appropriated unto the property of this influence The fifth eradiation or emission of divine beams is out of the Sephiroticall numeration or port called Geburah whose President is the divine Attribute ELOHIM GIBBOR and these beams are said to passe directly into the order of Potestats and the Arch-angell unto the which these beams are committed is called Sama●l or as others will Hamael and it is a Genius which importeth horrour and this Intelligence doth conduct the beams of its Emanation into the Sphere which is below that of Jupiter and informeth the spirits

and odible property in Mars by her feminine embraces If we look seriously into the inward nature of Iron or steel we shall find all this to be manifested by effect for I have with a certain familiar Menstruum reduced all the body of Steel into a kind of Copperis or Vitriol which nature of minerall salt is familiar with as well to Copper as Iron for Vitriol is by the same reason extracted out of Copper Now we shall find in Vitriol or Copperis a hot burning corrosive nature and an earthy attracting sulphur which sucketh unto it as Bole Armoniack or Terra Sigillata doth moisture whereby it is evident that as well a Martiall and Saturnine as Venerian condition concur in the magneticall or ferruginous salt Again we shall find that the influxions of Mars do mingle themselves naturally with the northern wind and agree well with the nature of the earth by reason that in the circulation of elements the earth doth in regard of her siccity consent and sympathize with the fire Again Ptolomy doth ascribe those Aquilonary winds which are violent unto Mars his influences moreover that Mars his spirit is the cause of the attractive vertue in each corrosive salt and gum that is subject unto it it is well manifested in Euphorbium Scamony Laureola Flammula and hot corrosive Venomes for these as Hermes telleth us are subject unto Mars his Constellation Hereupon we finde that Vitriol is cold acid and stiptick in his externall and yet hot caustick and corrosive in his interiour And again Iron which is called Mars because it is subject unto Mars his influences is Vitriol or Copperis in his interiour as also Copper which is a minerall subject unto the Constellation of Venus and therefore is called Venus CHAP. III. Of the excellency of Man in the Animal Kingdom and of the admirable nature of the Load-stone in the Mineral I May well presume to compare the Load-stone in disposition with Man considering the admirable vertues and dignity of the one in the Animal kingdom and the miraculous operations and mysticall properties of the other in the Mineral region As for Man for dignities cause I will speak of him in the first place there is such a super-eminent and wonderfull treasure hidden in him that wisemen have esteemed that the perfect wisdom of this world consisteth in the knowledge of a mans self namely to find out that secret mystery which doth lurk within him For man is said to be the center of every creature and for that cause he is called Microcosmus or the little world Centrum miraculum mundi The center or miracle of the world containing in himself the properties of all creatures as well celestiall as terrestriall and consequently of the Load-stone He is Templum Dei the Temple of God Corpus Christi the Body of Christ Habitaculum Spiritus sancti the Habitacle of the holy Ghost as the Apostle hath taught us Neither verily may it be imagined that God would make choice of an unworthy dwelling place And therefore in the consideration thereof and our enquiry after so great a mystery we had need to proceed with our exactest discretion and judgment from the visible things of man unto the invisible that is to penetrate with the sharpest edge of our wit by demonstration à posteriori or from the externall man into the bowells of his secret mysticall and internall beeing wherefore we proceed thus Seeing that Man is rightly reported by Hermes to be the Son of the world as the world is the Son of God being that it is framed after the image of the Archetype for which cause he is tearmed the little world It will be requisite to understand that he is in like manner divided into a heaven and earth as the great world was and consequently containeth in it self no otherwise his heavens circles poles and stars than the great world doth And also as we find that the spirituall image of the heavens with their circles and poles are delineated also in the earth and every particular thereof as it appeareth in the Loadstone and Iron so the character of the inward man is deciphered and pourtrayed out in the outward man no otherwise than we may judge of the fashion of the sword by the scabbard or the kernell by the shell Concerning the re-search or enquiry after the worlds poles in man there hath risen no small difference amongst the Philosophers Pythagoraes Plato and Aristotle have ordained the east part of the world to be his right hand and their reason is because the diurnall motion of the heavens which proceedeth from the Primum mobile is effected from east to west and consequently the west must be his left hand or sinister portion and in placing man according unto this position his face must look unto the north and his posteriors unto the south But Empedocles opposeth this opinion affirming that the Aestivall Solstice o● the Tropick of Cancer is the right hand of the world it followeth therefore that the Hyemall station of the Sun or the Tropick of Capricorn must be the left and according unto this direction man's face must behold the west As for mine own part mine opinion is adverse unto both their minds forasmuch as I being moved thereto for reasons as well Theologicall as Naturall would rather adapt mans face unto the Orient or eastern quarter and then his posteriors shall respect the west and so the north pole will correspond unto his left hand and the south unto his right That this position is not onely naturally but also divinely befitting the Microcosm we prove it thus The Patriarcks Prophets and Apostles in their devoutest prayers did use to convert their faces unto the east which is an argument that this quarter of the world was by the Creator alloted unto mans anteriour part And in Matthew we read that lightning shall come out of the east and shall passe unto the west And in another place it is said Metimin● quamque ad plagam orientalem ad plagam australem ad plagam occidentalem ad plagam septentrionalem Measure forth unto the east and the south and the west and towards the north As if he had said Measure out plots of ground before you and at your right hand and behind you and at your left hand And Job saith Behold I go into the east and he will not be there and unto the west and I shall not find him there or unto the north where he worketh and I shall not discern him he hideth himself in the south and I shall not behold him But St. Jerom interprets this place thus If I shall go unto the east he appeareth not if unto the west I shall not understand him if unto the left hand what shall I do I shall not overtake him if on the right hand I shall not see him And Tremellius thus If I shall go forward he will not be there if backward I shall not find him when
