Whereunto is joyned an hexameron, or a serious discourse of the causes, continuance, and qualities of things in nature; occasioned as matter pertinent to the work done in the six dayes of the worlds creation.

II. Shewing in what part of the yeare the world was created Sect. 1. Of three opinions concerning the time of the worlds beginning with a confutation of the first IN the account of Times it is very necessary that there should be a proposed point or mark from whence every reckoning may take beginning that thereby the yeares which have severall times of beginning may the more truely be computed and compared amongst themselves Wherefore it cannot be amisse to set down the most probable conjectures concerning the yeare wherein the world began especially seeing amongst Chronologers it is usuall to referre their accounts either to the yeare of the worlds Creation or to the birth of Christ. And now concerning this there be chiefly three opinions 1. Some imagine that the world was created in the very time of the Summer Solstice and that in the beginning of time the Sunne entring into Leo gave beginning to the yeare 2. Others referre it to the Spring when the Sunne entred into Aries 3. And in the last place 't is supposed that the world was made in Autumne when the Sunne entred into Libra Of all which I purpose to discourse severally and to shew the best reasons for that which I think to be the truest time The first is an opinion maintained by Mercator and as is thought was first hatched among the Priests of Egypt who observing the river Nilus to overflow about the Summer Solstice adored it for a God esteeming the time of its inundation for an infallible beginning of divine actions in things created and thereupon for the beginning likewise of the yeare at the time of the worlds creation But if this were the onely cause we may not unfitly say that it was folly and superstition which first set this opinion abroach and therefore he is worthy of blame who will go about to maintain it And although Mercator in his Chronologie seems to alledge some other reasons thereby to uphold his share in it yet his chief reason is not sufficient for it is grounded upon that which is not granted viz. that the Floud should end about Iuly because in the eleventh moneth which he supposeth to be May or Iune when the Olive beginneth to put forth the Dove brought green Olive leaves unto Noah into the Ark. To which it is answered That the word in Gen. 7. 11. which he taketh to signifie green leaves may as expositours witnesse as well be taken for branches even such as have been used to make Bowers with which according to the translation of the Septuagint is expressed by a word signifying a dry stalk And so saith that † Doctour in his Hexapla upon Genesis chapter the first question the 17 that the word in the originall is G●…alce which as S. Hierome translateth it elsewhere signifies the branches of Olives and in the Septuagint it is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a stalk without leaves That therefore which the Dove brought might be some branch of the Olive tree rather then the leaves and so might the Floud end at the dead time of the yeare rather then when things were fresh and flourishing But admit that the stalk or branch had leaves on it yet it proves not that it was about May or Iune when the Dove found and brought it because it is recorded of the Olive that she loseth not her leaves as other trees doe but is green and flourishing all the yeare Such leaves therefore as it had before the Floud it might have after the Floud for if they were new ones they must needs spring out in seven dayes because the Dove was sent out but seven dayes before returning then as a creature disconsolate not finding any thing at all Sect. 2. ANother opinion is that it was created in the Spring and that the Sunne who is the Index of time by whose revolution we account our yeares began his course in Aries The most forcible reasons to uphold this opinion are these First the naturall beginning of the yeare was in the Spring time because Noah entred into the Ark the first moneth and after a yeare about the end of the second moneth he came forth of the Ark again Gen. 7. 8. Now the first and second moneths here mentioned agree not to Autumne because if Noah came out of the Ark at that time of the yeare he could not then provide himself with victualls for those creatures which were with him against the next yeare by reason that the Harvest time was then past and Winter coming on so that the yeare naturally began in the Spring time and not in Autumne Secondly it is likely that the world took beginning at such a time when things were growing more and more to perfection as in the Spring rather then when they were decreasing as in Autumne Thirdly it is no weak assertion to affirm that the world was created about that time of the yeare when by the second Adam it was redeemed which was not in Autumne but in the Spring Fourthly the children of Israel coming out of Egypt were commanded to begin their yeare at Abib called afterwards Nisan which moneth agreeth partly to our March and partly to April See Exodus chap. 12. verse 1 and chap. 23. verse 15. Now by this command it is like that they were onely put in minde of their ancient custome which was in use amongst their Ancestours and lost by them since their going into Egypt and death of the Patriarchs For when the twelve Patriarchs the sonnes of Jacob were dead they of their posteritie learned the customes of Egypt

naturall place wherein either of them live or that we consider their resemblance in parts or their manner of motion For first the place of fishes is the water the place of fowls the aire both which are diaphanous cleare moist and easie yeelding elements Secondly that which finnes be to fishes wings and feathers are to birds And thirdly that which swimming is to fishes in the waters flying is to birds in the aire The one moves himself by his sinnes the other by his wings The one cuts and glideth through the liquid aire the other shoots and darteth through the humid water The one makes paths in that subtil concave between heaven and earth the other draws furrows in the ploughed sea and both tracts are indiscernible either place again closing no longer open then their native dwellers flit through their yeelding gates And first of all me thinks I see the loftie Eagle king of birds towring on high in the heaven-aspiring aire And amongst all fowls the Eagle onely can move her self straight upward and downward perpendicularly without any collaterall declining Munster This bird is commended for her faithfulnesse towards other birds in some kinde though sometimes she shew her self cruell They all stand in awe of her and when she hath gotten meat she useth to communicate it unto such fowls as do accompany with her onely this some affirm that when she hath no more to make distribution of then she will attach some of her guests and for lack of food dismember them Her sight is sharp and quick insomuch that being in the highest part of the aire she can easily see what falleth on the land and thereupon the sooner finde her prey It is said that she can gaze upon the sunne and not be blinde and will fight eagerly against the Dragon for the Dragon greedily coveting the Eagles egges causeth many conflicts to be between them The Poets have called her Joves bird and Jupiters armour-bearer because she is never hurt with lightning She is a bird tenderly affected towards her young insomuch that she will endanger her own bodie to secure them bearing her young ones on her back when she perceiveth them to be assaulted with arrows Hares Harts Geese and Cranes are such creatures as this bird useth to prey upon And for her practise in killing the Hart thus it is when she laboureth to drive the Hart headlong to ruine she gathereth saith Munster much dust as she flieth and sitting upon the Harts horns shaketh it into his eyes and with her wings beateth him about the mouth untill at last the poore Hart is glad to fall fainting to the ground The Eagle buildeth her nest in the rocks and high places and the propertie of the young Eagle is when she findeth a dead carcase first of all to pick out the eye And so saith one do all seducing hereticks first put out the right eye of knowledge that thereby they may the better leade along their seduced Proselites And note that although the Eagle be very tender over her young yet when they be able to flie of themselves she casteth them out of her nest because she would have them shift and no longer depend upon their damme Which is a good example saith the same authour for domesticall discipline namely that parents should not bring up their children in idlenesse but even from their youth exercise them in honest labour training them up to some vocation Moreover Aristotle writeth that when the Eagle waxeth old the upper part of her bill so groweth over and increaseth that in the end she dieth of famine But Augustine observeth further that when the Eagle is thus overgrown she beateth her bill upon a rock and so by striking off her cumbersome part she recovereth her strength and eating to which the Psalmist alludeth Psal. 103. 5. Which maketh thee young and lustie as an Eagle The Phenix saith Munster is a noble bird and is but one in the world Cornelius Valerius whom Plinie mentioneth doth witnesse that when Quintus Plautius and Sex Papinius were Consuls one was seen to flie into Egypt And Tacitus also writeth that when Lucius 〈◊〉 and P●…ulus Fabi●…s were Consul●… another was likewise seen to flie thither and yet not another but the same rather for there was not above two yeares difference in the time of this appearance Vitellius and Fabius being Consuls in the yeare of the citie 786 and Plautius with Papinius in the yeare 788. Dion was perswaded that this bird thus shewing her self did betoken the death of Tiberius but our countreyman Mr Lydiat rather thinketh that it pointed out the time when Christ that true Phenix did both die and rise again and so also thinketh Carion in his chron lib. 3. This bird if we may beleeve what is written is about the bignesse of an Eagle having a glittering brightnesse in the feathers of her neck like unto gold in other parts purple with an azured tail but so as in some places it is of a rose colour her head hath on it a plume or tuft of feathers Some say she liveth five hundred yeares others give her six hundred and sixtie and as Plinie writeth this bird hath her setled habitation in Arabia Felix When she waxeth old she is said to make her a nest of Cassia with branches of the frankincense tree into which she putteth other odours and so dieth upon them and then out of her bones and marrow there springeth first a little worm which afterwards comes to be a young Phenix Howbeit many think that all this is fabulous for besides the differing reports which go of this bird what species or kinde of any creature can be rehearsed whereof there is never but one and whereas the Lord said to all his creatures Increase and multiplie this benediction should take no place in the Phenix which multiplieth not And again seeing all creatures which came into the Ark came by two and two the male and female it must needs follow that the Phenix by this means perished And so saith one As for the Phenix I and not I alone think it a fable because it agreeth neither to reason nor likelihood but plainly disagreeth to the historie of the creation and of Noahs floud in both which God made all male and female and commanded them to increase and multiplie The Griffon is a creature if there be any such for many doubt it which whether I may reckon amongst the birds or beasts I cannot tell Howbeit as I finde him marked by Aelianus he is thus described namely that he is a kinde of beast with foure feet keeping most of all in India being as mightie in strength as a lion he hath wings and crooked talons black on the back and in the forepart purple His wings be somewhat white his bill and mouth like an eagles bill his eyes fierie he is hard to be taken except he be young he maketh his nest in the high mountains

and fighteth with every kinde of beast saving the lion and elephant he diggeth up gold in desert places and giveth repulse to those that come neare him But as I said some doubt whether there be any such creature or no which for my part shall be left to every mans libertie The Ostrich is compounded as it were of a bird and a beast and is especially found in Africa he is partly like a camell in his long legs and feet partly like a sparrow in his head and bill though much greater Some say his head is covered with small hairs his eyes be grosse and black his neck is long and as I said his bill is short and sharp like a sparrows bill and his feet hath as it were a bipartite hoof He is said to exceed the height of a man on horseback and as for his wings they help him little howbeit we make much use of his feathers as is well known And in one thing he is like the woodcock for hiding his head he never fears his bodie Job speaketh that he is forgetfull for when this bird hath laid her egges which she hides in the sand and are hatched by the sunne she forgetteth them untill the young come forth and then the males are forced to feed and cherish them So have I seen many mothers refusing to nurse their children and if they could would have others likewise bear them but putting them forth I beleeve many perish for want of care and due attendance for it is not possible that a nurse should have that tender affection which belongs to a mother and many times with the nurses milk the children suck the nurses vices Necessitie therefore and a prudent choice should seek out nurses as we see it Gen. 21. 7. Moreover it is said that this bird is of such strong digestion that she will eat iron and when she seeth that she cannot avoid taking she casteth stones with her claws against her followers by which she often hurteth them Ibis is a tall strong bird having a bill of great length he doth exceeding much good in destroying serpents These birds live in Egypt and the serpents brought out of Lybia thither by the Southern winde are killed by them Plin. lib. 10. cap. 28. See also afterwards in the Stork The Kite is well known she is a fowl which flieth softly untill she espie her prey she hath quick eyes will flie high into the aire in hot cleare weather and by the turning of her tail she directs her bodie even as a great lazie ship is ordered by the helm Aristotle observes that all such fowls as have talons cannot devoure any meat but flesh and if any other food be thrust into their mouthes they cannot eat it There is great enmitie between the kite and the raven it being an usuall thing for the kite to robbe the raven as being better in talons and flying So have I seen the gripers and catchpoles of this world destroy one another the lesse mightie alwayes devoured by the stronger and more potent And me thinks the kites feeding upon carrion is a fit embleme of the envious person who rejoyceth in the fall of others for there be many in the world who care not what men fall so they may rise building their own houses out of the bloud and ruine of others Howbeit it is observed by Aristotle that the kite being a ravenous bird bringeth forth but two young ones at a time wherein nature hath been very provident and carefull to suffer such ravenous fowls to increase no faster And so saith one it is commonly seen in the world that many rich cormorants or corn-vorants rather are either childlesse and have no children or else they abound not in many and yet we can see no end of their scraping pinching and oppressing There is one alone saith Solomon and there is not a second which hath neither sonne nor brother and yet there is no end of all his travell Eccles. 4. 8. The Raven also is a fowl given to rapacitie and devouring of flesh great of bodie slow in slight sharp in sight frequenting much the countreys of Italie Spain Egypt and about the Alps. But this saith Munster is to be understood of the great kinde of ravens This fowl doth greatly above all others covet mens carcases and as some think by a singular instinct and naturall gift it hath understanding of mans death presaging it a few dayes before But whether that be true or not this is certain that it haunteth places of battell with solitarie ruines and like to the young eagles it picketh out the eye of a dead corps first of all because as some suppose he seeth his own image in the clearnesse of the eye and so like coveteth the like The fox and this bird are very friendly but both at enmitie with the hawk that being the chiefest cause of their familiaritie And so have I seen one man love another the better for hating him whom he abhorreth or one like the fox will sometimes plot anothers ruine that the other like the raven may prey upon him Munster telleth us that the skinne of a raven well tewed and dressed with the feathers on it is exceeding good to be laid to a weak and sickly stomack for it greatly helps digestion And again she is noted for an unkinde bird to her young ones * expelling them out of their nest before their full and compleat time leaving them to their selves before they are able to shift and so crying for food God by his providence provideth for them whereupon it is said that the young ravens crie unto God or which feedeth the young ravens that call upon him Psal. 147. 9. And in this act these and the like birds are emblemes of such as want naturall affection And indeed the young ones afterwards prove as cruell to their dammes for when they be old and have their bills overgrown they die of famine not sharpning their bills again by beating them on a stone as the eagle doth * neither will their young ones help them but rather sometimes set upon them when they are not able to resist It is not good therefore to use children too harshly in their minoritie lest when Senes come to be Pueri again they finde as little favour at their hands as they shewed before And of this parents masters tutours and guardians should be carefull learning their lesson from these unnaturall birds But more I may spare to adde for the well affected are also well instructed to put a difference between foolish cockering and cruell handling knowing with Solomon that Where the rod is spared the childe is spoiled and with Paul confessing likewise that they ought not to be bitter to them lest thereby they provoke them to wrath Ephes. 6. 4.
