is the prime of our life therefore young men are not made for themselves and their own pleasures but to serve God Remember thy Creator in the dayes of thy youth And remember young man that thou must come to judgement Josiah in his youth served the Lord. 12. Hebe fell in her younger yeers and when shee was at a feast youth and feasting are dangerous ten●ations and occasions of falling young peoples feet are slippery youth is more apt to fall then old age which made David pray Lord remember 〈◊〉 the sins of my youth And that feasting is the occasion of much falling is too apparent for it made Job goe to sacrificing when his children went to feasting and doubtlesse if they had not first fallen then in sin the house had not fallen then on them Therefore let all especially youth beware of feasting and drinking which drinking matches and merry-meetings were fitly from the ancient Gre●ks from Hebe called Hebetria 13. If Jupiter did not spare his own daughter which hee had of Juno but thrust her out of her office and drove her from his presence when she fell then let not the children of God think that they are more priviledged from punishment when they fall then others are ●ay judgement oftentimes begins at Gods own house and hee will correct every son whom he receiveth he neither spared the Angels nor Adam that were his sons by creation hee spared not Christ his onely begotten son by an in●fsible generation much lesse will hee spare them that are his sons onely by adoption Qui flagellat unicum sine pecca●o ●kin relinquet adop●iv●m cum peccato saith Augustine 14. Hercules was not married with Hebe till hee was received into heaven and his spirit placed among the starrs so whilest our sou's are in this earthly tabernacle they are deprived o● that true beautie youth vigour and alacrity which they shall enjoy in heaven 15. In that Juno conceived not till she had eat of the lettuce by this perhaps they did intimate that lettuce accidentally is the cause of fecundity for as Dioscorides Mattheolus and oth●rs shew lettuce or the seed thereof is good against the Gonorrhoea and also against nocturnall pollution in sleep which are hinderances to procreation 16. In that Jupiter removes Hebe from her office and his presence wee see in what slippery places Princes favourites are and how suddenly the affections of Princes are altered Ste● quicunque volet lubens aulae culmine lub●ico me dulcis sa●●●e● quies HECATE SHe was the daughter of Night or of Hell and the queen of hell of a huge stature and deformed face having snakes in stead of hairs and serpents for feet shee was accompanied with d●gs and had three heads to wit of a horse of a dog and of a man or of a wild hog as some think shee is called Luna Diana Proserpina Hecate Juno Lucina The INTERPRETER HEca●e is so called either from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is an hundred because she hath a hundred waies of working upon sublunary bodies or because of the hundred-fold increase of grain which Proserpina or the earth yeeldeth or from the heca●ombe or 100 sacrifices that were offered to her or from the 100 yeeres walking about the river S●yx of those soules whose bodies are unburied Cenium e●rant anno● volitantque haec littora circum or from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is one of the titles of Apollo whose sister Hecate was and hee is so called from shooting his darts or rayes afar off 2. Hecate was said to be accompanied with dogs by which are meant the Furies and by these the tortures of an evill conscience which most of all howle and rage in the night time of which Hecate is queen Visaeque canes ululare per umbram Adventanie dea therefore her s●crifices were performed in the night and she was howled or called upon in the night by her pri●sts Nocturnisque Hecate●riviis ●riviis ululata per urbes and her sacrifices were black by all which the Poets elegantly signifie the terrours that accompany the guilt of sin chiefly in the night for then it was that Job complains hee was affrighted with visions and terrified with dreams and David saith that his sould refused comfort in the night 3. Hecate was said to be the goddesse or protectrix of witches because witches doe work most in the night and the time of darknesse is most fit for such works of darknesse and for such as are the servants of the prince of darknesse 4. Rich men were wont at night when they were going to bed to place a table for Hecate in the high wayes which they furnished with lupins mallowes leeks and other mean and savourlesse cates which the poor in a confused manner snatched all away while the rich men were asleepe hence arose those Proverbs Heca●ae coena for a meane and beggarly supper as also for a tumultuary or confused Feast And Anus digna Hecatae sacris for a miserable beggarly or poor woman Rich men now adayes use when they are ready to sleep their long sleep or to die to bequeathe some small share of their ill gotten goods to the poor and as it fared with these rich Romans so doth it now with our rich cormorants the wealth which they have with much care and pains been scraping together all their life is oftentimes dissipated and snatched away by strangers and wee see that the poor are more beholding to rich men in their death then in their life 5. Hecate is called Trivia because shee hath the charge of high-wayes because the high-waies are discernable by the Moon-light which in the dark are not easily found out and because the high-wayes are barren or fruitlesse hence Hecate is said to be a perpetuall virgin 6. Hecate was said to affright and terrifie men by which I suppose the Poets meant that fear and terrours proceed from an evill conscience 7. Hecate was the name of a cruell woman who delighted in hunting and in stead of killing or shooting beasts murthered men sure shee had been a fit wife for that mighty hunter Nimrod 8. The common conceit is that Hecate is so called whilest shee is in hell Luna while shee is in heaven and Di●na on the earth but I could never finde the reason of this conceit therefore I doe suppose that the Moon hath these three names from her divers affections or aspects for in the full shee is Luna quasi Lucens una giving light alone for then the Starres shine not though some of then are seen So shee is called also Lucina and Diana 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for the light of the Moon is a speciall gift of God Her other name Proserpina which is a serpendo hath relation to her increase and decrease for her light as it were insensibly creeping comes and goes But the third name Hecate was given to signifie the change in which shee affords us no light at all but then seems to be the Queen of hell or
