be defin'd by mortall man Some call him Ioua for his Existence Some Elo●ym for his excellence Some call him Theos for his burning light Some call him Deus for his fearefull might Some call him mightie Tetragrammaton Of letters fower in composition There is no Region vnderneath the skie But by foure letters write the Deitie For fower is a perfect number square And aequall sides in euerie part doth beare And God is that which sometime Good we nam'd Before our English Tongue was shorter fram'd Pan in the Greeke the Shepheards doe him call Which we doe tearme the whole vniuersall All in himself All one All euerie where All in the Center All out All in the Spheare All seeing all All comprehending all All blessed Almightie All aeternall Comprehended in no circumference Of no beginning nor ending essence Not capable of composition Qualitie accident diuision Passion forme or alteration All permanent without Mutation Principall Mouer alwaies in action Without wearinesse or intermission Immortall and without infirmitie Of euerlasting splendent Maiestie One in Essence not to be deuided Yet into Trinitie distinguished Three in one essence one essence in three A wonder I confesse too hard for mee Yet diuine Poets innumerable With strong Arguments vnresistable As Theorems and Demonstrations Deliuer it to our Contemplations The Father Sonne and holy Ghost these three Are subsistent persons in the Deitie Abba Ben Ruach blessed Poets sing Are the true Names of Pan coelestiall King This may suffice to shewe a mysterie That passeth mortall Mans Capacitie Now to proceed Blessed immortall Pan Was not alone before this world began Yet were no Angels as then created Nor Angels Offices destinated Nor could their attendance doe him pleasure In whom consisted all blessed treasure All comprehending Pan was then no where A certaine place must euery Angel beare Not circumscriptiue but definitiue Pan fils eache place in manner repletiue But Abbae Ben Ruach in Trinitie Making one Pan in perfect vnitie Whole Pan in eache and each of these in Pan A mystery that passeth reach of Man These were sufficient of themselues to frame This glorious Engine which we Cosmos name Who when he pleas'd to make his glory know'n And haue his power manifestly show'n He putteth on triumphant Maiestie That all his creatures might him glorifie And at one instant with his onely word As a most mightie and imperiall Lord This wondrous frame of Heauen and Earth we s●e At once were made in substance as they bee Yet was this frame a Masse vnpolished Void of all forme rude and vngarnished Water Earth Ayre Fire togither blended As if Confusion were the thing intended But mightie Ruach spread his powerfull wings Vpon this Masse of all confused things And kept it warme making it apt to take Such different forme as pleased Pan to make So mightie Ioue commaunded separation Twixt light and heauie things for generation And of light Bodies made a Circumference In circle wise from th' earth for difference And made the earth both fast and permanent The Center of th' vniuersall continent And all these light bodies did he then dispose Into ten Heauens the rest to enclose The Imperiall Heauen first and principall Most large and beautifull glorious eternall Where Pan himselfe doth vsually rest Where Angels dwel and sacred soules are blest The second the first mouing heauen is Not Christaline as many thinke amisse Whereby all other Orbs doe chiefly moue According to the will of Pan aboue The third is call'd the starrie Firmament which to our view is alwayes eminent Packt full of starres as Goulden Nailes in Poast To giue a luster vnto euery coast To giue direction to them that saile From port to port for their Countries auaile To bring sweete shewers to Tellus excellence As they arise by blessed influence One shepheard thought this Orbe the first that moued But false it is by many reasons proued In order then doe follow 〈…〉 Knowne to each Figure-stinger vnder heauen That wize from thence many a● vncou●h-tale As if great ●an were closed in their Male With fierie Trigons and watrie Triplici●●● They dazell the mindes of humane simplicitie Turning the true nature of Ast●onomie Into iudiciall Egyptian Sophistrie For Planets shew by their opposition Trine Quartile Sextile or Coniunction Whereto the weather and bodies doe encline By Natures course not prophecie diuine Nor can they shew by any secret starre Whether thou shalt die in pris●n or in warre Yet doubt we not the Starres haue operation Working a secret inclination But what and how many of these Starres there b●● Of that infinite number which we see Whether the thousand and two and twentie Which Shepheards single out of that plentie Or all the starres togither in the Skie Can shew when and where thou and I shall die Or al the vertues of the Planets seauen Can proue thee damn'd or bring thee vnto heauen Sith iudgement of the starres can all things shew They can vnfold this Mysterie I trow The end of starres as seely shepheards saine Was to illuminate this darkesome plaine And to demonstrate to men of reason Spring Sommer Haruest and Winter season Not to foreshew what certaine shall befall To euerie part of this vniuersall But to conclud I say as I began A modest wisdome well beseemes a man Yet these are the names of the Planets seuen As neere as simple shepheards 〈◊〉 them

that therein be found Piercing all things belowe with powerfull Raies Harke how the chirping Birds do chaunt his praise He swiftly runnes ouer th' vniuersall In twentie foure howres a day naturall And yet he keepes a station diuine Staying one Month in euerie Zodiake Signe Producing creatures of such varietie As mou's all men t' admire his Deitie No Starre within the VVelkin taketh place But borrowes light of his resplendent grace The mightie Ocean is nourished by him Phaebe her selfe without his light is dim Ioues winged messenger sweete Mercurie Is fed by Phoebus blessed harmonie Venus the darling to the god of warre Doth neuer rest if Phoebus be too farre The bottom of the Sea the fish the sand Receiue their comfort from his blessed hand Tellus her selfe and Flora in her pride Die and consume if Phoebus looke aside The Diamond Saphyr and Rubie red By Phoebus scorching heate are ingendred The golden mettals in the deepest Mine Do consecrate their being to his Shrine Ceres that Queene doth fade and pine away If mightie Phoebus hide his golden ray Yea Bacchus and
