is the name of him who first found out the knowledge of Astronomy and invented the Spheare which some think was Henoch and for this knowledge was said to support heaven 3. This is the name of a king in Mauritania who perhaps from the bignesse and strength of his body was called a mountain and was said to have a garden of golden apples because of the plenty of golden mines in his Kingdom 4. God is the true Atlas by whose Word and power the world is sustained that mountain on which we may securely rest who only hath golden apples and true riches to bestow on us 5. The Church is the true Atlas a supporter of a Kingdom the child of heaven the hill on which God will rest on which there is continuall light and day a rock against which hell gates cannot prevaile where is the garden of golden apples the Word and Sacraments 6. A King is the Atlas of his Common-wealth both for strength and greatnesse there is the day and light of knowledge in him which the people cannot see a Prometheus that is Providence is his brother by the meanes of his knowledge and providence the Kingdome is supported and his gardens are filled with golden apples that is his treasures with mony 7. He deserves not to be called a man but a monster who wil not be hospitable for homo ab humanitate and b Iupiter is the god of hospitality who punisheth the violation of it 8. As Perseus the son of Iupiter sought lodging from Atlas but could have none and therfore turned him into a senselesse hill So Christ the Son of God knocks at the doors of our hearts whom if wee refuse to let in wee shew our selves to bee more senselesse and stupid then hill Atlas Go too my soul thy doors unlock Behold the Son of God doth knock And offers to come in O suffer not to go from hence So great a God so just a Prince That were a grievous sin Refuse not then to intertain So great a guest who would so fain Come lodge and sup with thee If thou refuse he can command The Gorgon which is in his hand Thy soul to terrifie His word the Gorgon is which can Turn unto senslesse stones that man Whose gates will not display Themselves to him who still intreats To come unto our Cabinets And yet wee 'll not give way O Lord whose word doth me sustain And all that 's in the earth and main And in the painted skies Let me those goodly fruits of gold Which in thy gardens shine behold With these my feeble eyes Lord give the King a lasting name And strength that he may bear the frame Of this great Monarchy From whom if Prudence do not part Nor light of Knowledge from his heart Wee 'll fear no Anarchy Make thou his golden splendor shine As far as did King Atlas Mine To earths remotest bound And let his head ascend as high As Atlas did above the sky With light and glory crown'd AURORA THe daughter of Hiperion and Thia or as others write of Titan and the Earth the sister of Sol and Luna drawne in a chariot sometimes with four horses sometimes with two only she useth to leave her husband Tithonus with her son Memnon abed in Delos shee made old Tithonus young againe by means of herbs and physick THE MYSTERIES AUrora is the daughter of Hiperion which signifieth to go above for it is from above that we have the light of the a Sun and every other good thing even from the Father of lights her mother is Thia for it is by divine gift we enjoy light and nothing doth more lively represent the Divinity then the light as Dionys. Areopagit sheweth at large she is the daughter of Titan that is the Sun who is the fountain of light and of the earth because the light of the morning seemes to arise out of the earth The leaving of her husband abed with her son is only to shew that all parts of the earth doe not enjoy the morning at one time but when it is morning with us it is evening with those of the remotest Eastcountries from us whom she leaves abed when she riseth on us and leaves us abed when she riseth on them for all parts are East and West and all people may be called her husbands and sons for shee loves all and shines on all and by her absence leaves them all abed by turns Her chariot signifieth her motion the purple and rose colour do paint out the colours that we see in the morning in the aire caused by the light and vapors Shee hath sometime two sometimes four horses because she riseth somtime slower sometime sooner The making of old Tithonus young with physick may shew that the physicall simples which come from the Eastern countryes are powerfull for the preserving of health and vigour in the body Again faire Aurora leaving old Tithon abed doth shew that beautifull young women delight not in an old mans bed or by this may be signified a vertuous woman whom Salomon describes who riseth whilst it is night is clothed with scarlet and purple who doth her husband good c. a Last our Saviour is the true Aurora who was in love with mankind whom he hath healed from al infirmities and hath bestow'd on him a lasting life which knoweth not old-age his light from the chariot of his word drawen by the foure Evangelists shineth over all the world As fair Aurora from old Tithons bed Flyes out with painted wings and them doth spred Upon the firmament So from the heavens golden Cabinet Out flyes a morning all with Roses set Of graces redolent Whose presence did revive the hearts of those Whom night of sin and errour did inclose Within her darkest Cell This morning on a purple Chariot rides Drawn by four milk-white Steeds the reins he guides In spight of death and hell Christ is this morning who triumphantly On the bright Chariot of his Word doth flye The four white horses are The four Evangelists whose light doth run As swift as doth Aurora or the Sun Or Moon or any Star It s he that Eagle-like our youth renews And in us all infirmities subdues It s he whose radiant wings Displaid abroad hath chas'd away the night And usher'd in the day which mentall light And true contentment brings O thou whose face doth guild the Canopy Which doth infold fire air and earth and sea Extend thy glorious rayes On me Oh let me see that countenance Which may dispell the night of ignorance So shall I sing thy praise CHAP. II. B BACCHUS HEe was the sonne of Iupiter and Semele who was saved out of his mothers ashes after that Iupiter had burnt her with his thunder and was preserved alive in Iupiters thigh he was bred in Aegypt and nursed by the Hyades and Nymphs he subdued the Indians and other nations was the first who wore a Diadem and triumphed and found out the

Let us take heed of sin which hath a virgins face but is secretly armed with a dagger to wound us 3. Children must not obey their parents in that which is evil lest they be punished in Gods just judgements Children obey your parents but if they Bid you do mischief you must not obey For sure you must not yield obedience Against Gods Laws against your conscience Least with these cruell sisters you partake Of their vain toiling in the Stygian lake Let all beware of sin which men beguils With her inticing looks and flattering smiles She hath a virgins face but traitors fist Which without grace we hardly can resist Let no man joyn himself to such a wife Whose mouth presents a kisse her hand a knife BELLEROPHON HE being falsly accused by Antea the wife of Praetus for offering violence to her was sent with In power and honour and at last did soare On Fames swift wings above the high extent Of air and fire and starry firmament His Word 's a winged horse which he bestrides And over Lyons Goats and Dragons rides O thou who rides now on the arched skie Who for my sins was once content to dye Who hath subdu'd all monsters with thy word And now triumphs with that two-edged sword Destroy in me these monsters which rebell Against thy Laws save me from death and hell Make me to spend my dayes without offence And let my daily guard be innocence And Lord whereas I 'm mounted on the wings Of nimble Time which fly'th with earthly things Swifter away then Pegasus teach me How I may fight to get the victory That e're I go from hence I may subdue Chimaera with Pentheselaea's crue Whil'st I in holy raptures mount to thee From swelling pride good Lord deliver me And whil'st I 'm carried on Faith's golden wings Keep back mine eyes from sublunary things Least whil'st I gaze on them I tumble down And so lose both the victory and crown BOREAS BOREADAE HARPIAE BOreas being in love with fair Orithyia whilest she vvas gathering of flowers neer the fountain Cephisus carryed her away of whom he begot two sons Calais and Zetis vvho vvere born vvith long blevv hair and vvings at their feet these vvith their vvings and arrovvs drove avvay the Harpies ravenous and filthy birds vvhich had Virgins faces and Eagles talents from the Table of blinde Pheneus whose meat was still polluted and devoured by the Harpies THE MYSTERIES THese Harpies are flatterers they are called also Iupiters dogs hunting and flattering parasites have undon many mens estates 2. Many fathers are like blind Pheneus they are still gathering and providing wealth for rapatious children of whose riotousnesse they take no notice who like Harpies in a short time devour all and are still hungry like Pharaohs leane kine pallida semper ora fame 3. There be three Harpies very hurtfull in a Common-wealth to wit flatterers usurers informers 4. Boreas is the son of Neptune and brother of Iris or the rainbow for the winds are ingenerated of the sea vapour so are rains clouds and rain-bows by the help of the Sun 5. Boreas is the Northern wind who carrieth away faire Orithyia for the cold wind taketh away beauty his two sons Zetis and Calais that is frigidity and siccitie drive away the Harpies that is Southern pestilentiall vapors which consume and devour living creatures for in the Southern wind there are three properties answering to the three names of the Harpies to wit sudden and swift blasts that is Ocypete stormes Aello and obscurity Celaeno 6. Sacrilegious Church robbers are these Harpies who fell upon Christs patrimony like Ocypete or Aello a sudden blast or storme and like Celaeno have brought obscurity on the Church and have eclipsed her light and indeed the names doe agree for a Aello is hee that takes away another mans goods Ocypere suddenly Celaeno blacknesse or darknesse so they on a sudden snatcht away those goods that were none of theirs and with the obscure cloud of poverty

Echydna the serpent in which he poysoned our first parents His three mouths or hundreth rather do shew the many wayes that death hath to sease on us the snakie hairs doth shadow out the ugglinesse and fearfulnesse of death it lyeth in Hell gates for the wicked must by death come to Hell this dogge doth suffer all to goe in but none to returne from Hell is no redemption but Hercules by his strength overcame and bound him and Sybilla by her wisdom cast him asleep so the Son of God by his power and wisdom hath overcome death and taken away its sting 4. An evill conscience is Cerberus stil barking and with his snakes affrighting and stinging the wicked and lyeth in hell gates for the wicked mans hell is begun here it vomits out all by confession when it is convinced by the light of Gods Word and that inward light which is in the mind 5. The grave is Cerberus the great a flesh-eater still eating and never full the snakie haires shew that the ground is full of wormes and snakes it is also the entrie of Hel. The light of Christ the great Hercules when he went down to Hell caused this dog to vomit up his morsells for the graves were opened and many of the Saints bodies arose and at the light of Christ second comming he shall vomit up all that he hath eat out of Cerberus his foame grew the accomitum to shew that poysonable hearbes grow out of the corruption of the earth 6 Satan is this Hell-hound whose many heads and snakes doth shew his many malicious cunning waies he hath to destroy men he is begotten of the Giant Typhon and the snakie Echidna because as parents live in their children so violence and craft live in him he is the vigilant dore keeper of Hell lying in wait to tole in soules but never to let them out The true Hercules Christ by his strength and wisdome hath bound him at the presence of whose light he foames and fretts and was forced to vomit and restore those soules which he held in captivitie 7 Time with his 3 heads that is past present and future is this dog which devoureth all things And he shall vomit up all hid things for time revealeth all secrets He lyeth in the gate of hell all must go through his throat that go thither that is all must have a time to die and it is time that bringeth forth poysonable hearbs as well as profitable and time hath brought us to the knowledge thereof Loe then the hundred-headed dog at last Is bound with Adamantine chains so fast That though he bark and foame yet cannot bite H' hath lost his power but hath not lost his spite How much are we beholding to our Lord Who by his power and all-subduing word Charms monsters three black-mouth'd infernall hounds Death Hell and Satan and their power confounds When he descended to black Pluto's Tower Where this three-yawning Mastiff keeps the dore He caus'd him to disgorge himself of those Which in his bowels he did long inclose He durst not stare upon these glorious rayes Which turn the darkest nights to cleerest dayes But frets and foames his Snakes as with a spell Stood all amaz'd to see such light in Hell Then let us all with one joynt harmony Chant forth his noble praise and pierce the sky That as the winged quirristers still sing Coelestiall Hallelujahs to this King So we with them may chant and Carroll forth With warbling notes his everlasting worth Who freed us from this prison where we lay And makes us now injoy a brighter day Then any that within our Horizon Was ever seen or in the burning Zone And you rich hounds who almost split with store And yet your jaws are yawning still for more Your ill-got gobbets vomit up in time Remember you 'r but dust and gold 's but slime Unlock your iron Goals break up your caves In which your gold lyes buried as in graves And let your pale-fac'd money see the Sun Let free these captives from their dungeon That they may walk abroad and let them serve Poor men that are in want and like to starve And thou O Lord who onely durst encounter And only couldst with that three-headed monster And who hath pull'd the prey out of his jaws And broke his teeth par'd his scratching claws So satisfie my craving appetite That it in thee alone may take delight For neither honours Lord nor wealth I see This gaping heart of mine can satisfie For what are these but transitory toyes Compar'd with thee compar'd with inward joyes The more my soul feeds on these aicry dishes The more she hungers and the more she wishes Hydropick men still drink and still are dry The horse-leach cryes Give give and so do I Then seeing there's no end of my desire But wealth like oil doth still increase this fire Give not too much but what 's sufficient And having thee with thee I 'le be content CERES SHe was the daughter of Saturn and Ops of her brother Iupiter she had Proserpina of Iason she did bear Plutus and of Neptune a horse at which she was so much displeased that she hid her self in a dark cave and was found out by Pan whilest her daughter Proserpina vvas gathering flowers vvith Iuno Minerva and Venus Pluto carried her away in his chariot therefore Ceres lighted torches and sought her up and down the world and in her journey being kindly lodged by Celeus she taught him to sow corn and nourished his son Triptolemus by day with milk by night in fire which Celeus too curiously prying unto was slain by Ceres and Triptolemus was sent through the world in a chariot drawn with winged Dragons to teach men the use of corn Proserpina could not be delivered from Hell because she had tasted of a Pomegarnet in Pluto's Orchard yet afterward she was admitted to remain six moneths above the ground and six moneths under THE MYSTERIES CEres is the Moon which one half of the yeer increaseth to wit 15 dayes every moneth which time she is above the earth the other half yeer that she is decreasing she is under her daughter Proserpina may be the earth which she loseth when Pluto that is darknesse doth take away the sight of it and her lighting of torches is the increase of her light by which the earth is seen again her hiding in a cave is her eclipse by the earths interposition but Pan the Sun makes her appear again 2. Ceres is corn which Saturn and Ops that is time and earth produce Proserpina is the seed which Pluto ravisheth because it lyeth a while dead underground Ceres hides her self that is the corn is not seen till Pan the Sun by his heat bringeth it out Ceres begets Plutus corn bringeth mony to the Farmer and a horse also because the desire of corn makes the Farmer labour like a horse or because the plenty of corn makes men wanton and unruly like horses as it

behinde them cast The love of earth whose innocence Keeps off the flood of wars from hence So that our hill stands fast Much of this happinesse we gain By him whose sacred brows sustain The three-fold Diadem Of these Sea-grasping Isles whose ground Joves brother doth not onely round But as his own doth claim Great God prime author of our peace Let not this happinesse decrease But let it flourish still Take not thy mercie from this land Nor from the man of thy right hand So shall we fear no ill DIANA SHee was the sister of Apollo and daughter of Iupiter and Latona the Goddesse of hunting dancing child-bearing virginitie who still dwelt in woods and on hills whose companions were the Dryades Hamadryades Orades Nymphs c. she was carried in a silver chariot drawn with white staggs she was painted with wings holding a Lyon with one hand and a Leopard with the other on her altar men were sacrificed THE MYSTERIES DIana is the moone called Apollos or the Suns sister because of their likenesse in light motion and operations the daughter of God brought out of Latona or the Chaos she came out before her brother Apollo and helped to play the midwife in his production by which I thinke was meant that the night wherof the Moon is ruler was before the day the evening went before the morning so that the Moon did as it were usher in the Sun therfore the Calends of the months were dedicated to Iuno or the Moon she hath divers a names for her divers operations as may be seen in Mythologists in Macrobius she is called {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} fortune from her variablenesse as both being subject to so many changes and causing so many alterations Scaliger observeth that she was called Lya or Lua from lues the plague because she is the cause of infection and diseases by which the soul is loosed from the body she was called Fascelis from the bundle of wood out of which her image was stolen by Iphigenia Agamemnons daughter but I should thinke that she was called Lya from loosing or untyjng of the girdle which yong women used to do in her temple called therefore {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} in which temple virgins that had a minde to marrie used first to pacifie Diana with sacrifices she was also called {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} that is earthly because they thought there was another earth in the Moon inhabited by men doubtlesse in that they called her Hecate or Proserpina the Queen of hell they meant the great power that she hath over sublunarie bodies for all under the Moon may be called Infernus or Hell as all above her is heaven this free from changes that subject to all changes and perhaps she may be called Hecate from the great changes that she maketh here below every hundreth yeere she may be called Diana from her divine power Iuno from helping Proserpina from her creeping for though she is swift in the lower part of her Epicycle yet in the upper part therof she is slow Luna quasi vna as being the only beautie of the night Dyctinnis from a net because fishers and hunters use nets and of these she is sayd to have the charge for the Moon light is a help to both they called her {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} quasi {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} from cutting the air Lucina from her light her hunting and dancing was to shew her divers motion for she hath more then any planet six at least as Clavius observes her virginitie sheweth that though she is neere the earth yet she is not tainted with earthly imperfections she is a help to childe-bearing for her influence and light when she is at full is very forcible in the production and augmentation of things her conversing on hills and in woods shews that her light and effects are most to be seen there for all herbs plants and trees feel her influence and because she hath dominion over the fiercest beasts in tempering their raging heat by her moysture she holds a Lyon and Leopard in her hands whose heat is excessive but tempered by the Moon her silver chariot shews her brightnesse the staggs and wings do shew her swiftnesse and because her light increasing and decreasing appeareth like horns therefore the Bull was sacrificed to her as Lactantius observes her arrows are her beames or influence by which she causeth death and corruption in respect of her corniculated demidiated and plenarie aspect she is called a triformis and trivia because she was worshipped in places where 3 ways met the dancing of all the Nymphs and Satyrs shews how all take delight in her light her hunting is to shew how in her motion she pursues and overtakes the Sun 2. A rich usurer is like Diana for he is {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} an earthly man a great hunter after wealth who hath his nets his bands and bills he wounds deeply with his arrows Proserpina and Lya for he creeps upon mens estates and he brings a plague upon them though he dwells in rich Cities yet his hunting and affections are set in hills and woods that is in farmes and mannors which by morgages and other tricks he catches he is caried in a silver chariot drawn with staggs because fearfulnesse doth still accompanie wealth with which he is supported he would fain fly up to heaven with the wings of devotion but the Lyons and Leopards in his hands with which he devoures mens estates keeps him back Diana was a virgin yet helped to bring out children so mony though barren in it self yet bringeth great increase he will not be appeased without bribes no more then Diana nay many a mans estate is sacrificed upon his altar who doth not unloose their girdles as in Diana's temple but quite bursts them 3. They that will live chast must with Diana live on hills and woods and use continuall exercise for idlenesse and great Cities are enemies to virginity 4 Every good man should be like Diana having the wings of divine meditation the courage of the Lyon and swiftnesse of the stagge his feet should be like Hinds feet to run in the way of Gods commandements 5. Gods Church is the true Diana the daughter of God the sister of the son of righteousnesse who is a virgin in puritie and yet a fruitfull mother of spirituall children whose conversation is sequestred from the world she is supported in the silver chariot of Gods word in which she is carried towards heaven being drawn with the white staggs of innocencie and feare she holdeth in her hands Lyons and Leopards the Kings of the Gentiles who have suffred themselves to be caught and tamed by her she flieth with the wings of faith devotiō and hunts after beasts that is wicked men to catch them in her nets that she may save their souls and with her arrows to
