As also, that the outward man, how eminent soever in all naturall and politicall sciences, is to bee denied, and die in us. And, that the inward man by the light of grace, through profession and practice of a holy life, is to be acknowledged and live in us: which is the onely means to keep the true Sabbath in inward holinesse, and free from outward pollution. / By Valentine Weigelius.

Astrologie of the Microcosme to be Theologized in all of us that are willing to use them piously But how and wherefore ought the Astrologie of Saturn to be Theologized in Man If thou askest me wherefore and how all the naturall Sciences appertaining to the Astrologie of Saturn together with all the kinds of the Saturnine life ought and may be Theologized I again ask thee that thou tell me the cause Wherefore according to that great precept of God we ought to labour and finish our work in six daies but the seventh day to sanctifie the Sabbath or Wherefore we cannot enter into the Kingdom of God and possesse beatitude in eternall life unlesse we shall be converted and be made as infants For these have one and the same reason and cause tend to one will one belong to one The answer therefore is therefore we ought to Theologize Astrologie therefore we ought to labour six daies and sanctifie the seventh therefore we ought to be converted and become as infants because nothing at all but the New Creature the new Man from Heaven he that is regenerate from above he that is born again of immortall seed is required to the possession or acquisition of the Kingdom of Heaven not the old Man from the Earth seeking earthly things gaping after earthly things rejoycing in earthly things occupied delighted in earthly things loving possessing savouring earthly things I say not such but as we have now said the man born again from above seeking those things which are above and not those things which are below not arising from the will of the flesh and not of the will of man but of God But to the end that we may be the better understood of the ruder sort first we will handle a few things in generall What is the Theologization of Astrologie afterwards we will set upon our Saturn with his professions and faculties where we shall demonstrate to the eye That in the sole Theologization of Astrologie is to be sought and found the gate of Paradise to eat of the tree or word of life which is in the midst of Paradise c. Also what is that strait gate that leads to life which few find and that the broad way which leads to hell which many walk Also what is that Babilonish Whore with whom all the people of the world commit fornication c. and many and those the greatest Theologicall misteries are here shewn to the intelligent which otherwise are and abide hidden from the eyes of all mortalls Therefore to Theologize Astrologie is nothing els then to labour six daies and to sanctifie the seventh that is to rest and desist from labour and to keep holy day in God with the spirit soul and body VVhich God the Father seriously commanded to his people by the Law in the old Testament in these words Exod 20. Remember the Sabbath day that ye may sanctifie it six daies shalt thou labour and do all thy work but the seventh day shall be a Sabbath to the Lord thy God thou shalt not do any work neither thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant nor thy maid nor thy beast nor the stranger which is in thy gates for in six daies the Lord made heaven and earth the Sea and whatsoever is in them and rested the seventh day therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it Also Exod. 23. in six daies thou shalt do thy works but the seventh day thou shalt rest that thy Oxe and thy Asse may rest together and the son of thy hand maid and the stranger may be refreshed or take breath And in all that I have said to you you shall be wary to wit because of the Serpent Dent. 5. Also observe the Sabbath day that ye may sanctifie it even as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee six daies shalt thou labour and do all thy work but on the seventh day shall be the Sabbath of the Lord thy God But although the divine Commandement amongst the vulgar hath seemed and yet doth seem to be spoken only touching the corporall and externall labour and rest for reparing the strength of the body yet those to whom it is given as well amongst the Jews as Christians to know and understand the misteries of the mind of God and of his Kingdome they I say have known a far more profound and better cause and reason of this precept of sanctifying the Sabbath In the new Testament to Theologize Astrologie is according to the doctrine of Christ and the Apostles To receive the Kingdom of God as a child or infant to be born again from above having renounced and left all things to deny himself and seek the Kingdom of God which lyeth hidden in us as a Treasure in a field The labours of the six daies are all the actions operations studies offices businesses and occupations of all men in the whole earth and in all Islands and in every Sea amongst all orders states and kinds of life whatsoever all men every where every time act study handle operate this they do by the Light of Nature according to their divers Sciences Now the seventh part of those labours studies and actions of men are referred unto Saturn the severall kinds whereof we have before recited Moreover the sanctification of the Sabbath divinely ordained and commanded to man on the seventh day is to cease once in a week from all labour and handling of naturall things and actuall studies to desist from the Astrologicall life that is to lay aside every motion and action as well of the mind as of the body by an absolute abnegation and oblivion of the whole creature and of himself as well within as without to give and offer himself wholly to God with all that we are within the six daies we have known studied gotten and gained by our labors as well in the internall gifts of wisdom as in the getting of externall things Hither hither and to this Centre tends that divine Commandement touching the sanctifying of the Sabbath as by the following things will most pleasantly be laid open CHAP. IX A specificall Declaration how the Astrologie of Saturn in Man ought and may be Theologized FOr as much as hitherto we have heard that all the sciences actions studies states of life of all men by a certain inevitable necessity ought to be Theologized or by the exercise or sanctification of the mental Sabbath be laid aside denyed put off accounted for nothing now we would particularly see how the Astrologic of Saturn is to be Theologized in us For because infinite is the multitude of men only handling and exercising this Saturnine Astrologie And we do set down first of all in a certain Paradoxicall sence that is above the common intellect of the Vulgar That no husbandman Countryman Farmer Gardner Herbeseller Vinedresser Steward Builder Mettleman Potter Weaver Cobler Shomaker c. can ever enter into the Kingdom of God or come to

ASTROLOGIE Theologized Wherein is set forth VVhat Astrologie and the light of Nature is What influence the Starres naturally have on Man and how the same may be diverted and avoided AS ALSO That the outward Man how eminent soever in all Naturall and Politicall Sciences is to bee denied and die in us AND That the Inward man by the light of Grace through profession and practice of a holy life is to be acknowledged and live in us Which is the onely means to keep the true Sabbath in inward holinesse and free from outward pollution By Valentine Weigelius Sapiens dominabitur Astris LONDON Printed for George Whittington at the blue Anchor in Cornhill neer the Royall Exchange 1649. Astrologie Theologized CHAP. I. What Astrologie is and what Theologie and how they have reference one to another AStrologie is Philosophie it self The Kingdom of Nature or it is the whole light of Nature from whence ariseth the universall naturall Wisdome or a solid sincere and exquisite knowledge of naturall things which light of Nature is twofold externall and internall Externall in the Macrocosm internall in the Microcosm Or Astrologie is the very knowledge of good and evill which is and bears rule in things subject to Nature which science flourishing in man unlesse it be ruled and governed by Theologie that is divine Wisdome as the handmaid by her mistresse it is vicious And by her specious appearance and concupiscible jucundity man seduceth himself and as it were by eating of the forbidden tree or by who reing with the creatures he maketh his soule the Babylonian Whore sitting upon the Beast having seven heads and ten hornes c. and being sweetly deceived of himself obtains eternall death to himself But Theologie is the whole light of grace The Kingdom of grace happening to man from the holy Spirit effused from above which is the universall wisdome of the Kingdom of Heaven and the saving knowledge of divine and supernaturall things making chast and purging the soul from every defilement of sin abiding in the mortall body in respect whereof that naturall Wisdome is but a shadow which when the world is blotted out and removed will together with it be blotted out and removed and then Theologie alone shall reigne Astrologie is so called because it ariseth from the Stars As Theologie because it flowes from God To live Astrologically is with a pleasing concupisence to eat of the Tree of the knowledge of good and evill and to bring death to himself To live Theologically is to eat of the wood and Tree of life by an intimate abnegation of ones self and thence to attain to ones self Life and Salvation The Light of Nature in Astrologie with his incitative fruits is the probatory instrument whereby Man placed in the midst that is between God and the Creature is proved which way he would direct or convert his free will desire love and appetite whether to God his Creatour by loving him above all things with his whole heart with his whole mind with his whole soul and with his whole strength which should be the Theologicall life Or whether casting God behind he would reflect to himself and to the Creature by love of himself and arrogating of good things received which was the Astrologicall life at the Babilonish fornication as will appear by that which followeth Astrologie possesseth our soul with the externall body wherein the Light of Nature dwells and shines forth in some more excellently in others lesse And it contains in it self two things 1. All kind of Sciences Arts Tongues Faculties and naturall Studies all the gifts as well of the mind as of the body and also all negotiations occupations actions and labours of men how many soever of them are found exercised and used in all times upon the whose earth every where amongst men aswell grosse as subtile aswell old as new serving aswell to good as to bad uses 2. Under Astrologie are referred all orders states and degrees of men distinctions of persons dignities gifts offices and every kind of life as well naturally ordained by God himself as thought of and invented by humane wit and found out in the whole world from the highest and most honourable to the lowest and most base All these are the fruits of the Starrs and have their originall from Astrologie and pertain to the body and soul and may be as well good as bad according to the divers pleasures of the users and abusers But Theologie possesseth our Spirit which we have from God which alone is Theologus that is the Speech of God the Breath of God the Word of God being and inhabiting in the Temple of our heart from which alone according to sacred Letters true Theologie is to be drawn forth That is the knowledge of God of things divine and celestiall and supernaturall arising from within from the illumination of the holy Spirit it self dwelling within us According to whose beck will and command we ought to institute direct and finish all our Sciences Arts Studies Actions Offices Vocations Industries Labors and kinds of of life invented drawn forth on earth from the Light of Nature so as whatsoever we think say or do in the world in all Arts Sciences and Labors it all proceeds from the Will of God and seems as it were to be done and governed by God himself in us as by his fit instruments For every Astrologicall gift comming from the Light of Nature ought to be ruled and subjected to the Divine will by the Theologicall Spirit dwelling in us that so the will of the Lord be done as in heaven so also in earth For all Wisdome both Naturall and Supernaturall is from the Lord. Astrologie is the science of tilling and perlustrating of the inferiour terrestiall earth ground garden Paradise from which Man was taken and made as to his body and his soul in the labor and culture whereof six daies were ordained and appointed But because this Science of it self confers not Salvation and eternall Beatitude but alone belongs to this present life it is necessary the Lady and Mistresse of all Sciences and Arts Theologie be added which seeing it is Wisdome from above it hath in it self the Science of tilling and perlustrating the celestiall earth ground garden paradise from whence also man was taken created according to the similitude and image of God which garden man also hath in himself to the culture whereof the seventh day alone which is the Sabbath day is appointed For so it was ordained between God and man from all eternity that Man should be God and God Man neither without the other that is as God himself is and will be the Paradise Garden Tabernacle Mansion House Temple and Jerusalem of Man So also was man created for the same end that he should be the Paradise Garden Tabernacle Mansion House Temple and Jerusalem of God that by this mutuall union and friendship of God with Man and of Man with God all

is whthin and his habitation without it followeth That the Spirit of the Lord is more near to me then I am to my self And so it most evidently appears That the Kingdom of God is not to be sought without us here or there but within us witnesse Christ himself who saith Luke 17. being asked of the Pharises when the Kingdome of God should come The Kingdom of God shall not come with observation neither shall they say loe here or loe there For Behold the Kingdom of God is within you And the Apostle Paul 14. Rom. The Kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousnesse and peace and joy in the holy Spirit For by these he which doth service to Christ is accepted of God and approved by men The Soul is and dwells in the heart and the heart is in my body therefore the soul is more neer to me then the body My Body is cloathed with garments hence the body is neerer to me then garments and the soul neerer to me then the body and the Spirit neerer then the soul and therefore more noble more worthy and of more moment And because it is true That every internall is more noble and more worthy then his externall in which it is and dwells that even all of us do witnesse hilling or willing knowing or not knowing For behold if we are in danger of life by fire by water by perstilence or wars c. these being imminent upon us then indeed In the first place we leave behind us all our edifices as well sumptuous as vile with our externall goods and with few things if there be any we can carry with us we betake our selves to flight so that the body being clad might be preserved safe and unhurt with the life and soul By which very thing we testifie that the internalls are more desireable then externalls For who would be so foolish that he would neglect lose and destroy his body for the retaining of his edifices and externall goods when the body being lost and destroyed edifices and externall goods are much more lost and destroyed Furthermore danger pressing and necessity and straights urging us and overwhelming us we with John the Disciple of Christ even leave and cast off our garments with which we are covered and whatsoever els is abounding to us of our substance and naked and poor we commit our selves to flight that the body only with the life and soul may be preserved and kept safe and sure Do we not by this very thing point out and shew that internalls are better and more greater then externalls seeing that the body and life are internall but vestments externall And who would be of so perverse a mind that he should imbrace vestments with greater love then the body and life and would in that mind persist in danger that he would retain and keep his garments although he were compelled to loose and to destroy his body and life Moreover in persecutions for the name of Christ or for the truth putting our body and life in danger we even leave those and give them up to our enemies to Tyrants c. with patience like the Lamb of God whom all sheep imitate only that the soul may be kept intire strong safe and uncorrupt in the faith and knowledge of God and truth Do we not signifie by this that internalls prevail over externalls because the soul is internall the body externall and who would be of so foolish a mind that he had rather neglect and loose his soul with Faith in God and knowledge of the truth only that he might keep his externall mortall body and temporall life For faith and the knowledge of the truth being destroyed lost the body with the temporall life is of no moment Finally in extreme torments anguish and infernall dolours of our Conscience for sins committed even with David we leave and execrate the very soul it self and we bring to nought and empty our selves of al the so lace both of God and the creatures and we are left unto our selves crying out with the Son of God my God my God why hast thou forsaken me So that God only and alone might be and reman in us unhurt inviolated just and perfect in all things that he doth with us both sweet and bitter So by adverse things we are alwaies reduced to internalls and make a regression to our selves and unto God which is in us Do we not therefore after this manner testifie the truth of this rule That every internall is more noble and more worthy then his exterior Wherefore seeing there is nothing in us so near intimate as God is it followes that any other thing is not to be so esteemed sought and loved as God alone who hath put and hid in us the most excellent Treasure of his divine Wisdom Light Life truth and vertue taken from his own self and hath commanded to ask him seek and knock in the hidden place of our heart in Spirit and in Truth having given a testimony that the Kingdom of God first of all to be sought is not here or there without us but is to be found most inward in us as a Treasure hid in a Field From all these things it clearly appears to me that God is not at all more remote or nearer to me in this life whilst I am in this world and in this mortall body then he will be to me in life eternall c. But I have and feel my God equally now present and intimate to me even as I shall have him in the other world in a new body For he is in me and I in him whether I am in a mortall body in this world or without this body in that world This alone makes the difference that this thing even hitherto is hidden but then it shall be manifest and open But that I am not so nigh and near to him as he is to me this is not to be imputed to him but to my aversion who do not sabathize in my God who is with me that is who by running up and down with my unquite and vagabond soul through the creatures I am more delighted to be and to be busined in my proper will out of my internall Countrey and I suffer that ever hissing Serpent to creep on to the creatures in the multifarious concupiscence and delectation of the flesh of the eyes and pride of life or self-love neither am I lesse frequent in the various discourse of my thoughts ever and a non day and night ascending out of my heart now desiring this now that speculating willing nilling now this now that where moreover I weary and burden my self with all kind of care and vex my self with various affections All which things are the Astrologicall operation and revolution of the internall Starrs in our soul But if I could Theologize my Astrologie that is if I could desist sometimes from all these things and study to be at rest in my

from without by the constitution of the externall Heaven And that saying A wise man will rule the Starrs a wise man shall rule the Starrs is not to be understood of the externall Starrs in the Heaven or Firmament of the great World but of the internall Starrs bearing sway and running up and down in man himself which will more and more appear by that which followeth But this we promise for the beginning to be noted That the externall Heaven with it's continuall revolution hath a most convenient correspondency with the inward Heaven in the Microcosme and this with that which you may thus understand Whatsoever the sigure of the externall Heaven is in the point of conception of any men which happens in the matrix of the woman by the Ens of seed even now sent forth from Man that Man which is born and grows from that seed receiveth from within such a constitution of his nature and life to be performed on earth Yet that constitution lies so long hid and unknown that is without act in a naked power untill a man born into the world and educated to the use of free-will and reason putting forth it self begins to be moved and incited For then and not before that constitution of his heaven begins by little and little to roll bring forth move and shew forth it self when the Ascendants of that sigure by the imagination and fantasie newly sprung up in the will and reason arise and proceed to the motion of the mind and operation of the body And so the internall Heaven in the Microcosme begins his motion and course that a man from within from the guidance of his own Nature begins to imagine think desire hear speak do the same thing which before was signified from the positure of the externall Heaven while he was conceived Therefore the externall heaven in the Macrocosme as it hath respect to Man is at least a looking glasse and perludium by which the Astrologer may look into search know and describe what and what kind of nature and propriety shall happen and rule in him from the beginning of his nativity to the end of his life as he shall live Astrologically and not Theologically what and what manner his imagination shall be what his affections what his cupidities what his desires what his manners what his study what his kind of life and death with what things he shall be most delighted and on the contrary with what he shall be adverse and all things whatsoever seem to belong to the condition of humane life This I say may from the position or erected sigure of the externall heaven be prognosticated foretold not that those things are so done by necessity or coactive force but only that those things are presignified and as it were preludiated and are indeed a certain picture of humane life as in like sort a certain living man is painted by a painter on the wall from which picture his species and proportion with all his habit is exhibited and declared to be known So also we men living according to the course of nature and not Theologizing our Astrologie are known described and discovered by an Astrologer from the Table sigure face and concordance of the superiour Firmament as by a looking glasse For living naturally we have from the figure of Heaven a naturall description of our life whether it be honest or dishonest whether vertuous or vicious Yet so as the impulsive or efficient cause of living thus or so may not be thought to proceed and be impressed on man from the externall Heaven but from within from our internall Heaven which is in our soul delighted with this or that manner of living For neither God nor the Macrocosme do compell or force man placed in the midst from without to this or that good or evill kind of life by a certain naturall necessity but that very thing which is put into us by God and by the Macrocosme that is it whereby we are led whereby we are constellated moved Rom. 6. Galat. 5. instigated stirred up invited governed and inclined The one is the Spirit of God the breath of God the deity and heavenly light the holy Spirit the mind of God The other is the Spirit of Nature the breath of the World the Light of Nature the affections of the flesh t●rrene Wisdom the animall Man the Syderean Spirit the reason of Man Both leads to their originall and sheweth what are theirs Our Nature instigates moves and leadeth to our naturalls But the Spirit of God which we have in us from God instigates moves urgeth and leads us to supernaturalls that is thither whence he himself is There are I say two Inspirers two Governours two Captains two Lords in us to whom none of us can equally serve The one tends to the straight way to inherit and possesse the Kingdom of Heaven by contempt of the world and deniall of our selves the other neglecting the Kingdom of God to enter into the broad way The one is of God which is the Theologicall Spirit propounding and perswading the Theologicall life to Man the other is from Nature from the World which is the Astrologicall Spirit propounding and perswading the Astrologicall life to Man The Theologicall Spirit being endued with supernaturall Light and Wisdom shews the Kingdom of God and eternall life But the Astrologicall Spirit endowed with naturall Wisdom and Light shews the shop of Nature and the glory of this world therefore those which are acted by the Spirit of God these are the Sons of God that is who live Theologically But they which are acted and led by the Spirit of Nature caring nothing for the Kingdom of God and the eternall Countrey these are the sons of Nature the sons of this world animall men not doing the will of God but the will of the flesh in which with all their glory and magnificence they whosoever they are how great soever they are and wheresoever they are must perish For without the Theologization of Astrologie no mortall man can attain eternall salvation and beatitude We must die once to flesh and bloud and to the whole animall Man and we must live to God which life is altogether contrary to the worldly life Of which more largely in the Epistles of Paul and other Apostles But the Starrs which a wise man is commanded to rule are not those celestiall Starrs extant in the Firmament of the Macrocosme which are set before the Creatour of the Elements that they might illuminate the earth and be for signs and seasons and rule over the day and the night those have their peculiar Regent Lord and Governour to wit the Spirit or soul of the world diffused into the seven Planets and the rest of the Stars of the whole Zodiac by which he exerciseth his rule hath his influx into inferiour things therefore there is no cause that any should through simplicity think the dominion which a wise man hath over the Starrs

world that they are not any more said to be of the world John 17. but of heaven although as to the body they are as yet conversant in the world And whatsoever any one doth by the Sabbath in the introversion of his mind he acts and orders with God and God with him in the hidden place of his heart this cannot be seen or known by any Spirit much lesse by Man In brief by the Sabbath alone the Phenix of our soul is renewed who altogether denying deposing refusing and accompting for nothing all the vanity of this world and it self from within and without plainly dies in the forgetfullnesse and contempt of all things Rom. 12. and of it self and offers it self a living and pleasing sacrifice to God and there being regenerate anew becomes a new creature a new off-spring from the seed of the woman by conception from the holy Spirit is made a Son of God a new Man an imitatour of Christ following his steps is made a hater of evill and a follower of good a new plant a new tree that is good which brings forth good fruits this is true repentance true penitence the true putting off the old Man c. Here some Astrologers are to be admonished of their want of knowledge who have not doubted to subject even the whole man with all things which are in him to the dominion of the world and Starrs in erecting their nativities as if a man were or had no more in himself then a bruit or beast through ignorance passing by the constitution of Man in three parts Spirit Soul and Body whose soul arising from the Firmamentall Zodiac and whose body from the Elements are altogether subject to the dominion of Nature But not the Spirit which we have from God and listning nothing to that that every Disciple of Christ and friend of God regenerate from above by faith and the death of sin in the most holy Sabbath hath within himself a most present medicine in his heart against all the poisonous and deadly wounds of nature and the Serpent and also the divine Commandement of deposing overcoming and conquering the old heaven with his inclinations of divers concupiscences and of walking in the newnesse of the Spirit in the Light of Grace To wisemen therefore that is to those that know both God and themselves rightly the matter is far better to be looked into for they know both are in us God and Nature The Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of the world The Tree of Life and the Tree of Death The greater Light and the lesser Light The seed of the Woman and the seed of the Serpent And also that man is placed between these two to be exercised in this world in a perpetual war whether of these should overcome thence shall man have his reward for God will render to every one all crafty excuse and imbecillity being laid aside c. according to his works whether they be good or evill Here you shall observe an example touching the change of man from an inferiour and worser nature into a superiour and better nature If you take a certain stone lying by chance in a sunny place and very much heated by the too much parching heat of the Sun and put it into water or some river then the Sun can no more make it so hot or penetrate it with his heat in like manner the case is in the Theologization of Astrologie * The exercise of the Sabbath or Theologization of Astrologie is to dic to thy self and the whole creature to offer thy self wholly to God with all things which are within and without us Hither belong all the Scripture and all books speaking of the mortification of Man Take or gather and apprehend all thy evill nature and thy unsincere affections and unlawfull lusts too much operating and flourishing in thee I say take and put them by the Sabbath into the mind or spirit of thy mind which thou hast from God who is the everlasting fountain and water of life and sabathize in a solid and constant abnegation of thy self and of all things known unto thee which are within thee as well as without thee that thou maist almost wholly die there then will thy soul with all her adherent stones of concupiscences fall down and be drowned in the depth of the supernall water which is the Spirit of God infused in us and the firmamentall operation will more and more cease and be wearied in thee and the ascendant Starrs of thy concupiscences will no more afflict urge drive carry thee as before but from day to day thou shalt ease thy self from that most hard yoke of the Zodiac and of all the Planets thy youth shall be renewed as an Eagle and thou shalt be like an infant new-born and shalt perceive in thy self new vertues and affections to work and move in thee arising inclining oecupying leading and governing thee from the celestiall Starr and influence of the divine Spirit c. So as where heretofore thou hast bin the servant of sin and hast given thy members weapons of unrighteousnesse and malice now with trembling thou abhorrest the performances of thy forepast life and fraught with a new mind heart affections and desire from the exercise of the Sabbath by the Spirit of God hereafter thou shalt serve God and give up thy members weapons of justice piety charity mercy meeknesse temperance modesty chastity c. and so thou shalt rightly Theologize thy Astrologie so shalt thou best overcome correct amend thy nature so shalt thou rightly tread the head of the Serpent under thy feet so shalt thou well silence in thy self the assaults of the divell c. Hence the true Sabbath instituted and commanded of God is the best care and medicine against all kind of evill which quickly being death eternall to the soul and temporall to the body by which we may put off bear and take off that great and most grievous yoke and mountain of so great a Zodiac of so great a Firmament of so great Governours I say to take away the Kingdom or rule and to precipitate into the immense Sea of eternall water and ever and anon get new strength and come out more vivacious which was well known and used by the Patriarchs in the first age whence also they could get to themselves the Enochian long life upon earth by the exercise of this kind of mentall Sabbath which indeed is altogether obliterated abrogated in this our age and seems to be a thing unknown But how every one of us ought and may know and try in himself what and what kind truly is their Astrologie or firmamentall action or operation of the Light of Nature and how he may and can Theologize the same that is overcome Nature be made the Son of God c. this the following Chapters will illustrate and teach more clearly then the Sun CHAP.
