Eyghtly The Sonne and the Mone are for tokēs vnto men which happeneth two maner of wayes 1. The one when as by a certayne ordinarie reason they stande still goe forwarde or goe backwarde and eyther are ioyned together or are opposite or do suffer eclipse also when they shewe forthe raynebowes or mistye circles about the Sonne Moone or Starres to be sene by which things fayre wether tempestes and many effectes are wonte to folowe in the earth which because with longe tyme and diligent markinge they are perceiued and therfore may nowe than be also soresene of vs let the place of Mathew cha 16. as concerninge the heauen lokinge redde be added 2. The other some thinges are sene to happen in the Sonne and Moone contrarie to the course of nature the which are wonte to portend or shewe something to mankind to denounce the anger or merey of God towardes vs. The Sonne and the Mone stode vmnoueable while Iehosue did ouer come Iosue 10. That Ezechias the kinge mighte knowe that he shoulde recouer his healthe both the Sonne and the shadowe in the dyall went back 2. Kynges 20. That Eclipse of the Son worthie of remembraunce at the death of Christ happened contrarie to naturall order Augustine bearinge witnesse in the 80. epistle to Hesychius in his boke De ciuitate Dei the 3. boke chapt 15. Hierome vpon Mathew c. and the writers of histories do shew many things in their commentaries Of these thinges in generall Christe saieth Luke 21. There shal be signes in the Sonne and in the Moone and in the Starres c. nether are there wan tynge some amonge whom is Iunilius Africanus which do interprete the Sonne the Mone to be signes because aswell those that sayle in the sea as those which trauell in the wildernes haue regarde vnto them and by their guidaunce they learne how they muste directe theire iorney And thus much of the offices of the Sonne and the Mone Of the seco● Question ¶ As touchinge the seconde question whether that there be seuerall circles in heauen and the same be driuen aboute with a certayne motion Nowe let vs discourse and that in fewe words The holy scriptures do seme to allow the rounde fourme of the worlde as described with a circle when as Prouerbes 8. the heauenly wisedome that is the Sonne of God speaketh thus Before the mountaynes wer founded and before the hilles I am fourmed As yet he had not made the erth and those thinges that are without it and the head of the duste of the rounde worlde when he did prepare the heauens I was presente and when he did describe the circle vpon the face of the depth If there be any mā whome these wordes do not satisfie let him heare experience it selfe which dothe playnely shewe how the Sonne with his dayly motion dothe paynte forthe a circle in heauen so that we maye in deede perceaue the Sonne to be conteyned in a certayne roundell or circle The which also the Preacher chapter 1● hath expressed The earth saith he standeth for euer the Sonne ariseth and the Sonne goeth downe and he goeth to his place where he may a●yse he goeth ouer to the southe and turneth to the north The winde turneth rounde whisketh about and goeth forthe and by his circuites it returneth agayne That there are distinct circles the situation of the Starres do manifestlye shewe when as some are in an higher place and some in a lower beside that we do playnly se that some Starres are caried about more swiftly and some more slowly As for the number of the circles the scripture doth not define them and otherwise doth the olde Astronomers otherwise doth the newe determine yea and not at this present amongest the Astronomers that nowe be is there any agrement therof But that they be moued by p●● scripte lawes or order it is both found by the longe obseruatiō of tymes and the scripture doth not dissemble it For that I maye omitte the words of the preacher lastly rehearsed thus do we read Psal 104. He hath made the Mone for apoynted seasons and the Sonne knoweth his going downe Iob● 31. it is saied The Mone moueably going and the 38. chapter God alone is shewed to bringe to p●●●e verie greate thinges by his prouidence and amongest the rest to sette lawes also to the motiōs of the Starres in which man can performe nothing Wat thou bynde saieth he the sweete influences of the seauen Starres 38. or wilt thou let loose the force attractiue of Orion or if thou shalt be able to being the constellation of Mazaroth 〈◊〉 season or wilt thou be able to leade the North starre wyth hys children● knowest thou the lawes of the heauen that thou mayest shewe forth the dominion thereof vpon the earth But Chrysostome in the 14. homilie vpō the epistell to the Hebrewes doth denye the heauen to be of a rounde figure or to be moued leaninge to those wordes wherewith it is saied Hebr. 8. That Christ the highe Priest sittinge at the right hand of maiestie is a minister of holie thinges and of the tabernacle that God hath pighte and not man There he noteth heauen to to be called pighte or fixed But it is manifest that in that place mention is made of the outmoste or highest heauen in the which Christ sitteth at the right hand of his father and I do discourse of the firmament in which the Starres are placed But to reason of these matters eyther curiously or contentiously Augustine vpon Genesis after the letter lib. 2. cap. 9. 10. supposeth it to be more then neadeth specially sith the knowledge of suche matters doth littell or nothinge auaile to godlines ¶ Let vs go forwarde to the thirde question It is apparaunte that this opinion came first from Pythagoras that is to say that the celestiall circles because they be most large and set one vpon another and that they all in like maner are driuen aboute continually with a certen moderatiō geue a moste swete sounde and a
