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

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

For she must be of bodie excellent That must lie by a King Magnificent And it behooueth her to be precise To talke with him that 's absolutely wise Pan therefore taking consultation Said she should serue for generation Her skinne was white as was the I●orie Thinne and smooth as the finest Tiffany Where through a man might perfectly beholde The azured veynes her inward parts to folde A reddie intermixt vermilion Diffused was pleasant to looke vpon Her golden hayre dispersed to her thighes Close shrowd's Lucina's sacred Misteries Her modest eyes like sparkling Diamond● Pure and chaste vnlike to Rosamonds Piercing like Cupids fixed fierie Darts Sterne fierce and bloody Marble Martiall-hearts Loues mountaines apples of Hisperida Such were her brests witnesse my Cinthia From whence by corall conduits flowing are Streames of the sweetest caelestiall Nectare Her crimson smyling lipps did make a showe That mirth and pleasure in her mouth did growe Her teeth euen set by natures curious hand As rowes of orientall Pearles did stand These keepe her tongue and instruments of voice Of purpose made to cause her Lord reioyce Tender her hands her fingars long and small Fit to delight her Lord and sport withall Thus fram'd she was in iust proportion Which made the world amaz'd to looke vpon But for the Ornaments of her princely minde For excellency were not farre behinde The noble soule of Adam first created If they be view'd and iustly estimated Some shepheards hau'n seely folkes abused Which donne denie her soule to be infused Into her bodie as blessed Adams was But rather that creation came to passe By propagation out of Adams soule We finde no warrant for this in our rowle For simple essence can no way generate His like and yet conserue his former state Thus was the glorious Queene accomplished And with caelestiall beautie furnished Pan blessed her and call'd her Adamah A female earth and after Nekebah By reason of her great concauitie To take and holde begotten progeny This being doon he viewd the sleeping man At his commaund Morpheus swiftly ran In the darkesome Caues of E●ebus With all his mistie charmes Somnife●●us And left the sleeping Prince in Flora● lappe Not knowing what was done for his good happe At last his lustrious eyes he gan adua●nce Rouzing himselfe and shaking of hi●●raunce And standing vp vpon his princely feete Pan caused his vertuous Lady him to greete Whose suddaine view strook him to such amaze As marueling a while did naught but gaze He wondered at her beautifull proportion Her gratious lookes and constitution And looking well vpon himselfe quoth he So well this peerelesse frame resembleth me As if she were my propper flesh and bone In bodie and soule wee seeme to be but one In all the earth her match can not be found In whome humanitie doth so abound Then euer liuing euerlasting Pan Acquaintd him how euerie thing began And said absolute shall be thy pleasure Take heere to wife this surpassing treasure The Prince obey'd the Lady was content Mightie Pan marryed them incontinent And blessed them saying they should increase And fill the world till heauen and earth did cease This pleas'd the Prince in token of consent He gaue her halfe this worldly regiment Parting betweene them earthes circumference And cal●d her ISKAH for prehem●●ence Then was the marriage solemnized And in our sacred rowles eterni●ed Where blessed Angels sounded harmonie And chirping Birds chaunted their Melodie The King and Queene with ioyfull hearts did sing And hils and dales rebounding Eccho's bring Tellus and Flora kep't it holy-day Attired in their moste gorgeous array And all the Orbs and Spheres gaue looking on When Princely Adam tooke his Paragon How long they liu'd in their felicitie Is not contain●d in Natures Mysterie What was their arte their life their fall their end By sacred layes and Oracles beene pend WIth that Endymion cast his eyes aside And saw a gentle Knight come pricking on Swift was his pace and knightlie did he ride Bending his race towards Endymion As stately Knight he was to looke vpon Complet his armes in rich Caparison His horse like Pegasus and he Belerophon Likely he was to mannage Martiall armes Well could he couch in rest his dreadfull Speare He rode as one that scorn'd Thessalian charmes Nor did he any strange aduentures feare The Armes and Shield which I did see him beare

Pales are soone withered If Phoebus in the Spring doe hide his head Aeternall night shall all the world oppresse If Phoebus doe with-draw his golden Tresse There was a Light before there was a Sunne And Day and Night before Phoebus begunne Yet is the Sunne the cause of Day and Night Shepheards diuine must iudge the reason right They say a glimering light did whirling wend From East to West vnto none other end But to supplie for a time Phoebus place Till he was made to runne his princely race But then this whirling light that Heau'n graced Contracted was and in great Phoebus placed Who euer since was cause of Night and Day As learned Shepheards sounden in their lay Next is the Orbe and Spheare of Cytharaeae Lame Vulcans wife vnconstant Dal●la Cupids mother Diana's mortall foe Cause of most warres which Gallants vndergoe When bloodie fight the god of warre hath grieued The ioyes of Venus hath him oft relieued Therefore hath Venus Vulcans bed forsaken And dreadfull Mars his lodging vndertaken But why doth Beauties Queene loue man so well Whose words are wounds whose frowns do death foretell Shee Triumpheth in his Coniunction She 's grieued at his opposition When he is merrie then shee laughes or smiles And with conceits the longest nights beguiles Can there ●e any perfect Sympathie T'wixt bloodie warres and Chamber-melodie Else Pan forbid but let vs vnderstand The matter well that we do take in hand T'wixt warres and peace can be no Sympathie But man and woman are in peace pardie Great Pan ordain'd as Shepheards do relate Contrarie Elements without debate Should altogither in one bodie dwell Louing each other and agreeing well So though Mars be bloodie in his Center Yet is he pacified if Venus enter Againe faire Venus with smyling pleasance Know's how t' asswage his angrie countenance So that there is a perfect harmonie Twixt white and blacke directly contrarie Which being mixed do agree for euer Whom neither Art or Nature can disseuer And this is the reason as shepheards skan Why a faire Ladie loues a Martiall man Next comes to our consideration Mercurie fraught with sophistication Nimble ingenious busie as the Bees Wittie as an Ape to follow what he sees In each thing some skill in full Arte no bodie● Thus whirleth about this Mercurial nodie Prate like a Perrot and readie of tongue At dice Cards and gaming all the day long Of wit sharpe and

Lowest of all and nearest to our view Resplendent Phaebe chaste powerfull and true Glorious Nurse of all this lower frame Infusing moysture to the burning flame Of parching Phoebus whose fierie beames
