A07223	A mirrour for merchants With an exact table to discouer the excessiue taking of vsurie, against the lawes manifested in this treatise of Reasons academy. Set forth by R. Mason of Lincolnes Inne gent.; Reasons academie	Mason, Robert, 1571-1635.; Davies, John, Sir, 1569-1626. Reasons moane.	1609 (1609)	STC 17620; ESTC S119107	40,335	117

they haue diuided that time into xii monethes To euery of these twelue monethes they proportion an appointed number of daies to euery day 24 hours to euery houre 60. minutes And so reducing these learnings to one point or head they proportiō as wel Latitude and Longitude of place as motion passage of time together with the influence and aspects of the planets and starres in such sort as if this mistery were vnknown in any mans vnderstanding it were impossible to be found out And because the sun passeth alwaies frō the East to the West and neuer fully reacheth to the point of the North or South they haue determined diuided the world into 5. seueral zones The 2. remote parts of North South they call the cold parts the middle they cal the hot or burning zone the other two are the temperate parts To this they haue likewise added a girdle that goeth ouerthwart the hot two temperat zones diuiding the same into 12. equal parts ascribing a seueral Lord or Gouernor of these houses limiting the sun 30. daies trauel to passe throgh euery of these same with many other admirable necessary lernings And out of these Arts it is well knowne they haue truely set down the Eclipses of the Sunne and Moone the reuolution of the Starres stabilitie of the North and South poles the motion of the others by which all nauigation is maintained the compasse carde needle proportioned nay the ship it selfe and all other buildings both of land and sea deuised framed fashioned Al coūtries known and seuered and euery mans possession diuided one from an other Astronomy and Astrologie haue taken their foundation there And how much the Physitians knowledges are increased thereby or what defects they would finde by the want therof let themselues iudge But to be short These Arts are the onely and true directors of the whole course of mens liues as wel in gouernment as obedience in distribution as well as in receiuing for there being diuersitie of honours places dignities and worthinesse so ought there to be a measure and indifferency in proportioning their contributions Many thousands of admirable blessings would follow Reasō if measure and proportion were truely kept For then should the King haue the supreme place The magistrates their due honour The subiects true and equall iustice and euery man his owne right without controuersie checke or controlment But Originall reason is so weakened and impaired that these things are not to be looked for mens natures are preuaricated and intemperate disires so bent to disorder that poore Queene Reason hath little place and her proportions little esteemed and lesse vsed Reason of it selfe discerneth and concludeth that the heauens are imbowed like a vault about the lower parts And the lower parts circumualated and incompassed within the heauens conuexitie The earth as the flower or planckes to goe vpon and retaine the massie bodies of men and the mighty inuolued numbers of Creatures there on residing And the heauens as the wide drawne and large extended Canopie to couer all these with many included essences and beings all seruing to exercise Reason withall the more fully to apprehend the incomprehensible greatnesse goodnesse bountie of the Creator and the worthinesse of mans originall Creation But as is before discouered this perfection of Reason innocencie is lost corruptiō is crept in and taken vp right and true Reasons roome and had so much impaired blemished darkened obscured Reasons faculties that euen the arts themselues were almost forgottē put to obliuion great labour hath bene vsed to reuiue recontinue and vphold or make knowne these former Arts and Sciences Concerning this point Let vs take a short viewe of the beginnings of creatures All things had a kinde of perfectiō yet subiect to imperfectiōs As creatures to a Creators command Then the first declination laps after the Creation which hath ouerthrowne the sincere purenesse of Reasō The feare of punishment for that offence hath exercised mans reason with many incomberments and caused a kind of decisting to continue the rememberance of such parts of reason as then remained not vtterly ouerthrowne Vnto which I adde two other decaies the ouerthrow of the world by the floud accursednesse of the earth at that time And the confusion of languages at the ouerthrowe of the Tower of Babel being in māner Arts destruction For after this time in many parts of the world Arts Sciences were almost vtterly vnknown ther dequired a new time first to learne vnderstād languages before Arts could be taught few remained in life that had the Science of teaching or at the least for the dispercing of arts for that there was then no such common vse of letters as of later time for that reason had not then discouered the Art of printing besides the amazednes of that cōfusiō of tongues caused the inhabitāts of the earth to dispose thēselues into coūtries vnfurnished with other fruits then such as the earth of her owne accursed nature did produce none such as were in the original Creation so men had enough to doe to prouide thēselues food apparell for many hundreth yeers so as besides the forgetting of the vse of Arts there scarce remained so much as the vse of tillage and manuring of the earth to succour and defend mens liues by which meanes Arts remained raked vp as fire vnder ashes not cleane extinct yet seeming not to bee In so much as it is reported of those parts of the world wherein as well the Greekes and other nations liue that Philosophie was first discouered by Pithagoras long after whose time the Romanes are holden to be ignorant thereof Seneca saith Philosophie was not found out aboue one thousand yeares before his time Socrates is said to be the first that brought it from studie to practice which is not much aboue two thousand yeares since for which he is so holden in admiration as he is said to haue brought it from heauen to earth and thereby to haue taught men how to gouerne themselues and others yet these learnings had their Originalls before though they attributed thē to Pithagoras as the beginner thereof arguing their owne ignorance for Pithagoras learned his skil from Gonchedie and of the Iewes Plato of Sechnuphis Endoxus of Conuphis and al these of the disciples of Trismegestus who out of his own bookes manifesteth that he learned it of Moses Thales is said to be the first that taught in Astronomy to the Greekes It appeareth as wel by his own as other mens workes that it was taught him by the Egyptians to the Egyptiās by the Caldeans And if Belus as Plini reporteth were the finder out thereof yet hee hath the same from Abraham in whose time he liued wherin I obserue that many contentions haue bene about the beginning thereof to aduaunce the honour of their owne Countries But howsoeuer it is most true that the perfection of
