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

Astrologie of the Microcosme to be Theologized in all of us that are willing to use them piously But how and wherefore ought the Astrologie of Saturn to be Theologized in Man If thou askest me wherefore and how all the naturall Sciences appertaining to the Astrologie of Saturn together with all the kinds of the Saturnine life ought and may be Theologized I again ask thee that thou tell me the cause Wherefore according to that great precept of God we ought to labour and finish our work in six daies but the seventh day to sanctifie the Sabbath or Wherefore we cannot enter into the Kingdom of God and possesse beatitude in eternall life unlesse we shall be converted and be made as infants For these have one and the same reason and cause tend to one will one belong to one The answer therefore is therefore we ought to Theologize Astrologie therefore we ought to labour six daies and sanctifie the seventh therefore we ought to be converted and become as infants because nothing at all but the New Creature the new Man from Heaven he that is regenerate from above he that is born again of immortall seed is required to the possession or acquisition of the Kingdom of Heaven not the old Man from the Earth seeking earthly things gaping after earthly things rejoycing in earthly things occupied delighted in earthly things loving possessing savouring earthly things I say not such but as we have now said the man born again from above seeking those things which are above and not those things which are below not arising from the will of the flesh and not of the will of man but of God But to the end that we may be the better understood of the ruder sort first we will handle a few things in generall What is the Theologization of Astrologie afterwards we will set upon our Saturn with his professions and faculties where we shall demonstrate to the eye That in the sole Theologization of Astrologie is to be sought and found the gate of Paradise to eat of the tree or word of life which is in the midst of Paradise c. Also what is that strait gate that leads to life which few find and that the broad way which leads to hell which many walk Also what is that Babilonish Whore with whom all the people of the world commit fornication c. and many and those the greatest Theologicall misteries are here shewn to the intelligent which otherwise are and abide hidden from the eyes of all mortalls Therefore to Theologize Astrologie is nothing els then to labour six daies and to sanctifie the seventh that is to rest and desist from labour and to keep holy day in God with the spirit soul and body VVhich God the Father seriously commanded to his people by the Law in the old Testament in these words Exod 20. Remember the Sabbath day that ye may sanctifie it six daies shalt thou labour and do all thy work but the seventh day shall be a Sabbath to the Lord thy God thou shalt not do any work neither thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant nor thy maid nor thy beast nor the stranger which is in thy gates for in six daies the Lord made heaven and earth the Sea and whatsoever is in them and rested the seventh day therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it Also Exod. 23. in six daies thou shalt do thy works but the seventh day thou shalt rest that thy Oxe and thy Asse may rest together and the son of thy hand maid and the stranger may be refreshed or take breath And in all that I have said to you you shall be wary to wit because of the Serpent Dent. 5. Also observe the Sabbath day that ye may sanctifie it even as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee six daies shalt thou labour and do all thy work but on the seventh day shall be the Sabbath of the Lord thy God But although the divine Commandement amongst the vulgar hath seemed and yet doth seem to be spoken only touching the corporall and externall labour and rest for reparing the strength of the body yet those to whom it is given as well amongst the Jews as Christians to know and understand the misteries of the mind of God and of his Kingdome they I say have known a far more profound and better cause and reason of this precept of sanctifying the Sabbath In the new Testament to Theologize Astrologie is according to the doctrine of Christ and the Apostles To receive the Kingdom of God as a child or infant to be born again from above having renounced and left all things to deny himself and seek the Kingdom of God which lyeth hidden in us as a Treasure in a field The labours of the six daies are all the actions operations studies offices businesses and occupations of all men in the whole earth and in all Islands and in every Sea amongst all orders states and kinds of life whatsoever all men every where every time act study handle operate this they do by the Light of Nature according to their divers Sciences Now the seventh part of those labours studies and actions of men are referred unto Saturn the severall kinds whereof we have before recited Moreover the sanctification of the Sabbath divinely ordained and commanded to man on the seventh day is to cease once in a week from all labour and handling of naturall things and actuall studies to desist from the Astrologicall life that is to lay aside every motion and action as well of the mind as of the body by an absolute abnegation and oblivion of the whole creature and of himself as well within as without to give and offer himself wholly to God with all that we are within the six daies we have known studied gotten and gained by our labors as well in the internall gifts of wisdom as in the getting of externall things Hither hither and to this Centre tends that divine Commandement touching the sanctifying of the Sabbath as by the following things will most pleasantly be laid open CHAP. IX A specificall Declaration how the Astrologie of Saturn in Man ought and may be Theologized FOr as much as hitherto we have heard that all the sciences actions studies states of life of all men by a certain inevitable necessity ought to be Theologized or by the exercise or sanctification of the mental Sabbath be laid aside denyed put off accounted for nothing now we would particularly see how the Astrologic of Saturn is to be Theologized in us For because infinite is the multitude of men only handling and exercising this Saturnine Astrologie And we do set down first of all in a certain Paradoxicall sence that is above the common intellect of the Vulgar That no husbandman Countryman Farmer Gardner Herbeseller Vinedresser Steward Builder Mettleman Potter Weaver Cobler Shomaker c. can ever enter into the Kingdom of God or come to
