plain nor an Epistle stuffed as full of Flattery as an Egg is full of meat which I hate to give and you to receive and God hates it in whomsoever he finds it it is sufficient to you and infinite joy to me that your Works declare to the World what you are even in these times when rich Pluto is accounted a better Phylosopher than learned Plato when Godliness is not accounted great Gain as it was in better times than now are but Gain is accounted great Godliness I had Reasons enough to make me bold to dedicate it to you as namely That Ingenuity of your Spirit your excellent Endeavors for the publick Good that admirable Constancy which Honor it self could not choak so that your Splendor like other Justices in Office with you has not gone out like a Candle and left a stinking snuff behind though it hath pleased God to place you in Authority in such an Age that calleth Vertue Vice and Vice Vertue that calleth Good Evil and Evil Good that strike at the Devil and hit Christ in his Saints To whom rather these things considered should I dedicate these my weak Labors than to your self to whom God hath given the Knowledg to discern Vertue from Vice to love the one and hate the other according to that excellent Speech of Plato Oh Knowledg how would men love thee if they did but know thee for as Health is the Conservation of the Body so is Knowledg the Conservation of the Mind which is too too much absconded the more is the pity from the eyes of this languishing Nation and calls aloud for a Cure for as Plato saith in another place If Vertue could take upon her a bodily shape she would be so beautiful as men would be in love with her also if Vice could take upon her a Bodily shape she would be such an ugly beast all men would loath and disdain her for if Drunkards have so many Apish and beastly postures what would Drunkenness it self have which is the Author of them all if that could appear in a visible form This I know you are well versed in the love of a Real Common-wealth may be read in you even through a pair of Spectacles glassed with an inch board this was another argument moving me to dedicate this Book to you which tends towards the furtherance of a Common-wealth and the pulling down a Monopoly extreamly prejudicial yet scarce discernable I must be brief because it is brevity you delight in therefore to use many words I account it needless your kind acceptance of this Book I shall account such a favor as is never to be forgotten The God of Heaven and Earth which hath hitherto preserved your Body in so many dangers and difficulties which you have passed and your Spirit pure in these back-sliding Times still be your Guide and preserve your Spirit Soul and Body untill the time of your Change shall come and present you blameless at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in whom God hath loved you and washed you from your sins in his Blood So praies Sir Your Worships most humble Servant NICH. CULPEPER A Premonitory Epistle TO THE READER Courteous READER THose things which God did make first in the Beginning without means He now preserveth by Means and therefore He hath placed Nature in the World which by Motion acts in all things according to the quality of the thing acted upon as Fire acts upon Wood to make a fire to warm one by or the like therefore as the Cause of Diseases is to be understood to be Natural so is their Cures also to be effected in a Natural way and if you do but consider the whol Universe as one united Body and Man an Epitomy of this Body it will seem strange to none but Mad-men and Fools that the Stars should have influence upon the Body of Man considering he being an Epitomy of the Creation must needs have a Celestial World within himself for to wind the strings a little higher If there be a Trinity in the Deity which is denied but by none but Ranters then must there be a Trinity also in all his Works if there be a Unity in the God-head there must needs be a Unity in all his Works and a dependancy between them and not that God made the Creation to hang together like Ropes of Sand so God made but one world and yet in this one World a Trinity first Elementary which is lowest Secondly Celestial which is next above that Thirdly Intellectual which is highest in degree and happy yea thrice happy is he that attains to it if then Man be capable of the Intellectual World as having an Epitomy of that in himself whereby he knows that there is a God and that God made this World and Governeth it now he hath made it that there are Angels and that he bath an immortal Spirit in himself which causeth him to hope and expect immortality If he have an Epitomy of the Elementary World in himself whereby he searcheth and seeks after the Vertues of Elementary Bodies and the various mixtures of Natural things their Causes Effects Times Fashions Events and how they are produced by the Elements must he not also by the same rule have an Epitomy of the Celestial World within himself by which he searcheth out the Motion and Course of the Celestial Bodies and what their influence is upon the Elements and Elementary Bodies he that denies this let him also deny that the whol world was made for man that so the world may see what he is it is palpable to those that fear God and are conversant either in his Word or in his Works that every inferior world is Governed by its superior and receives influence from it God Himself the only First-being the Maker and Disposer of all things Governs the Celestial World by the Intellectual namely the Angels He governs the Elementary World and all Elementary Bodies by the Celestial World namely the Stars and that 's the reason the influence ' of the Stars reacheth not to the Mind or Rational part of Man because it is an Epitomy of the Intellectual world which is a superior to them but because there is now some Dispute about it I should have said Cavelling by such as would fain have their own Knaveries hidden and therfore they would fain have the Stars made to stop Bottles or else for the Angels to play at bowls with when they had nothing else to do but not rule the Elementary world no by no means We shall prove they rule over the Elementary world first by Scripture secondly by Reason First by Scripture I beseech you read in the first place Genesis 1. 14 15 16 17 18. verses And God said let there be lights in the Firmament of the Heaven to divide the Day from the Night and let them be for SIGNS and for SEASONS and for DAIES and YEARS And let them be for Lights in the Firmament of the
