himselfe from danger And when the Lord intending to punish him propounded three things unto him whether hee would endure seven yeares famine flye three moneths before his enemies or have three days pestilence in the land he chose the last quite against the vertue of fortitude but yet in favour of the publick good judging as St. Ambrose saith his absence would be more hurtfull to the people than the pestilence True it is that when he saw the Angel turn his sword upon the people he cried out that he should turn it against him that was guilty and spare the innocent But this was not fortitude digested by reason it was a violence incited by a tender and valorous nature Saint Ambrose saith That in his choyce hee followed wisdome in his griefe piety I will unfold this question by saying That the Proposition which God made to David was to keep him farre off that which David made to the Angel was to kill him He will not accept of going farre off and desires death because that by his absence the peoples light was put out and they would bee left without a guide in the dark whereas his death had been but a putting out of one light to give way to another The former seemes alwayes to be evill the latter is not alwayes so but many times is turned to a greater good It may also bee said that when David made his first choyce hee grounded it upon a hope hee had that hee he might appease God by Prayer which foundation when he found it prove vain he altered his desire Nothing makes a man better than prudency and nothing keeps him more secure than sagacity This sagacity would be dangerous if it were naturally rooted in the breast of a Generall born there and not acquired For those who are endowed therewith in this manner never goe about to try either force or fortune untill the case be quite desperate and for the most part the time past either to make use of force or adventure ones self upon chance A Generals sagacity is different from a Polititians The one is not good in the Citie wherefore Military men are little available in a Senate The other is pernicious in the field wherefore they send Gown-men Councellors to lose and ruine enterprises In one of these sagacities valour should prevaile in the other sagacity itself must have the upper hand The Polititian ought not betake himselfe to force till sagacity quite fails and the Military man will hardly make use of sagacity whilest he can work with violence Alcibiades hath recourse to Pharnabazus favourite to Artaxerxes King of Persia presently becomes bound to him in a most strict bond of amity He had I know not what of attractive in him which alluring mens mindes bewitched them A lively Spirit from which proceeds activity and abundance of meanes to work by If we seek the cel●stial causes thereof it proceeds from the constitution of the Planets from the swiftnesse of the motions from Mercury set in his dignities If we seek the elementary causes we will say it proceeds from thesire which producing its nature in the Spirits participateeh his motion unto them from the center to the superficies Therefore in such kinde of people the spirits are perceived at the circumference by the motions of the head and hands and most of all by the splendor of the eyes out of which they send forth sparkles And by reason that no cause if we speak of celestiall ones concurres more in this fabrick than Mercury swift in his dignities therefore it proves most like him They draw him with wings at his feet at his head or his haire The Poets doe not make him loves Courcellor but his Messenger and sometimes his Minister to deceive His Minerall is Mercury which alwayes moves and is like silver but is not silver which deceives the eyes of those that look upon it with i●s splendor and ruines them that handle it with its poyson The Alchimists seeing it false because it is moveable seek to take away its motion and fix it Astrologians believe not it hath any happy influence in the understanding though it bee never so forunate They desire not to finde him in his own house and exaltation but rather in Saturns or at least favoured with his presence and beames to cut off his wings with the slowest Planets Sythe When they give him the company of any stars to make him have a happy influence it is of the lesser ones The over-much motion which it gives the spirits in beginning of an action doth not admit of a prosecution of it and the over-much light doth puzzle and resolve them If Philosophers desire a temperament for a great understanding they doe not commend that which is of fire nor that of earth not melancholy no● Bilis alone if any Bilis that which is black which is the Astrologers Mercury in the house of Saturn and the Quicksilver fixed by the Alchimists fire The Mercurials with their swiftnesse run over all things with their splendor they see them and because they run they cannot discourse and because their motion is from the center to the circumference they spread and dilate themselves abroad they doe not grow deeper nor take root And having many objects before their eyes they have always some new thing to propose whereby they seem fruitfull yet are but barren bringing forth abortive embrioes if they come to be children they are monstrous ones I beare with Princes sometimes they put themselves into such mens hands in compain comparison of which all others seeeme dull and obtuse Whilst a Mela●cholly man gives one reason they will give a thousand If one answer serves not they will give two or three they confound and delight with variety with their engines and inventions they gaine admiration with their words great spirit and effectuall operation as it were a fury they astonish Rethorick Poetrie Musick and other Arts doe consist of I know not what set on the outside the judgment whereof seemes to belong to the senses Energie Number Sweetnesse of voyce and variety of colouring Although they consist of somewhat else which is more internall to apprehend which is required great skill in those Arts and an eminent understanding to judge of it The ignorant man presently runnes to the sense and judges with the eye and eare commending according to his sight and hearing many times that which deserves no commendation and never blaming that which is blame-worthy Apparance deceives him because he fixes himselfe upon the accidents and commands them and not penetrating to the knowledge of the substance he discommends it not because he does not know it Seneca speaks of some Orators whose orations pronounced by themselves seemed excellent and at the very first gained applause but being read and examined were of no worth He confesses they forced his understanding and he commends them not because they deserved it but because they bound him to it
