the Diseased Body Nevertheless these Men make too huge a Progress in Philosophy they shall often dispute against Astronomy it self not knowing indeed that they can nothing say or Dispute without that Syderial Spirit communicated to them as also to every Man yet more or less from above by the Heavens and the Stars Truly the Lote which shutteth its Leaves before Sun Rise but when he Ascendeth openeth them by degrees will be accounted more Just and Charitable towards the Celestial Princes then these so Rational Men. And so we believe shall the Cock who applauds the Rising Sun as it were with a Hymn from his Inferiour Rousts But these are from the matter We formerly told you There can nothing be found in this Lower World that wants a vivifying Spark of this Spirit but yet to know under what Star and in which Sign of the Zodiaque every thing Perceiveth its Spirit This is the Work here the Labour is Nevertheless there hath so much of this nature been Manifested to us by sedulous and skilfull Men as is sufficient for Humane Ingenuity and Pains to find out greater things Gold hath in it the Spirit of the Sun and therefore is in value the most precious of all Metals It also nourisheth every Spirit of all things Growing So that the Sun possesseth the vertues of all the Stars No marvel then the Spirit of Gold skilfully extracted or separated from the elementated or Metallique Body should extirpate all Diseases of the Body The reason is manifest by Astronomy it self But that there is Gold of the Solar Spirit to omit other Reasons the purifyed sign thereof sufficiently testifies where you shall find Incense Burning with perpetual Fire which thing true Alchymists know very well and there yet remains such a thing to be found in some Sepulchres that hath continued its Ardour and Fire for more then 100 years Even as the Sun enjoys Perpetual Light The same Metall is not unfitly called the Terrene Chaos because if the Spirit of the Universe residing in it should at a set time be reduced to a competent Form with the Body plainly produces the same or even greater things then that Essence of the Sun so earnestly sought for by Covetous Persons So also to other Metalls there in a Proper and Perpetual Seed plot in Heaven The like for Trees Plants Stones c. If therefore any thing growing nourisheth in it an Astral Spirit we account the Incensive matter of the Generative and Seminary vertue much more such and indeed more Perfect in Man himself Those Philosophers who know not any such thing in Man can pronounce nothing certain as touching the Ingenuity of Man his Inclinations Antipathy Sympathy of the Magnetique vertue and operation and such other things as are hitherto appertaining Whence it is they so Foolishly and Filthily heap up Reasons of Philosophizing which are no better then Volatile Air. We must not forget that there is a twofold Spirit in Man One infused from the Heavens and Stars at the time of Generation the other Inspired by GOD This was the breathing-hole of Life in Adam and that indeed Perfect but afterwards Lost. The First Man was made of the Slime of the Earth that is of the Greater World of the Sydereal Creatures and Elements whence he received a certain Astral Soul resembling the Soul of the World The Object whereof is The Universal World and the things contained therein that is Worldly Wisdom generally comprehending all manner of Arts and Sciences within it self some such thing was Anciently called in Man the Proper Genius or Demon of every one He is not wholly Ignorant of the Natural Law that is of the Divine Will commanding and approving the Good but Abominating and Condemning the Evil done unto us because the World was the First Image of God and Man himself the next Example of any thing Possessing the Reason of the Word And although Man have Free-will yet so it is in him that what an one soever the Predestination of the Mundane Soul made him such an one also every Man would and desireth to Die by a natural instinct Thus we more plainly conceive how Man is subject to the Stars Hence likewise we will not deny but that very many Diseases and consequently the term of Life proceed especially in a flourishing Age from the Stars touching which we have elsewhere produced manifest Reasons and a manifest Experience in Examples Hereunto belongs the whole Genethliaque Part of Astrology Theophrastus Paracelsus hath most Plentifully and Learnedly explained the Foundations of this very Matter in his Volume of Wise Philosophy There was another Breathing Hole Placed by God in Adam beyond this Rational Spirit and operating Soul deducing its Original and Branches from the Stars which was the Breathing Hole of Life in which regard he was said to be the Image of GOD. The Beauty of this Image was lost by the Fall of our First Parents a very small spark thereof surviving in us But may be reduced to its pristine Condition by a Regeneration in Christ. This Spark Christ being Mediator shall grow into a Flame of Celestial Wisdom It is the proper spirit of those that Believe in Christ Joh. 7. Rejecting Despising Deriding all those Worldly things not as that they are the Works of GOD for they testifie of GOD what he is but in that they are Corruptible unstable and draw a Man from the presence of GOD and from Eternal Joy in him This Wisdom is that sorrow with the Flesh and its Concupiscences at last overcoming Christ being Conquerour Of this is that vulgar saying Sapiens Dominabitur Astris A wise Man shall Rule the Stars By this very Rule we are led from the Love of Corruptible things and brought into the Love of Eternal By this we take the Cross of Christ upon our Shoulders and Follow him that is we shall hereby Purge out the Old Leaven crucifying our Flesh with Evil Affections and Concupiscences studying to learn abundantly the Fruits of a Christian Spirit without Hypocrisy as Charity Faith Peace Joy Liberality Meekness Temperance Gal. 5. In a word This Celestical Spirit is no other thing then Faith triumphing through Charity without which none shall Prevail before GOD although as it is in 1 Cor. 13. He should speak with the Tongues of Angels and had all Faith so that he could Remove Mountains out of their Places although he had all Sciences and knew all Mysteries though he should give his Body to be Burnt and were full of Prophesie GOD is CHARITY we were Created and Redeemed of Charity in Charity and by Charity Charity Preserves in us the Command of GOD. Charity is the Bond of Perfection Col. 3. Charity is Long suffering and Bountiful she Envieth not she maketh no Tumults she is not puft up she doth nothing whereof she is ashamed she seeketh not her own she Provoketh not she thinketh no Evil she rejoyceth not at Iniquity but the Truth she beareth all things she believeth all
