twenty-seventh day is threatned with a tedious sickness if not death He that falleth sick on the twenty-eight day is in the like like danger with the party foregoing As for the over-plus days by reason February has but twenty eight days and that the other two or three which are in some Months being properly allowed to compleat the Sun's Revolution and not the course of the Moon it is the opinion of the Learned that no direct Inferences can be drawn from thence but rather in that case to begin again as if they appertained to another Month reckoning one two or three as the Month falls out and count in this case the success as in the beginning of this Chapter of favourable and unfortunate days CHAP. XXXVIII The fixed Stars and their Scituation profitable for Mariners by which they may be directed how to Steer c. FOr a more full continuation of this work I have not thought it amiss to nominate the Celestial Signs with the Stars that appertain to or are compacted in them and ●hose that are so spangled are divided into three parts some of which are placed in the Circle of the Zodiack some of them called Northern and others Southern Stars those that are placed in the Zodiack have sundry Names attributed to them according to the fancy of the Antients not that they resemble the Creatures or such but it is supposed on all hands that those Names was given them by Artists to distinguish them or at least as ●he Sun entering those Signs sympathizes more or less with the nature of such Creatures as the Ram the Bull and the like In the Back of Taurus or the Bull are placed the Stars called Pleiades In the head of Taurus six Stars called the Hijades The Stars standing before the Feet of Gemini are called Propus and that as it were cloudy part of Heaven which is Cancer is known by the Name of Persephe the two Stars dimly shining that are near it are called Alini and the bright Star in the middle of Leo is named the Lyon's Heart the bright Star at the Fingers end of the left hand of Virgo is called SpikaVirginis the little Star at the right hand of Virgo is called Protigettes the four Stars that are at the right hand of Aquarius are called Urnathe Stars that go from the Tail of Pisces are called Lines and in the South Line nine Stars are contained and only five in the North the brighter Star in the Lines end is called Nodus and these are accounted useful Stars Those between the Zodiack and the Northern Pole are accounted Northern As thus Ursa Major and Ursa Minor Draco that lies between the Bears Artophylax Corona Engon Asin the Harp the Vulter the Eagle the Serpent and Serpentine the Arrow and the Dolphin Prottomo Hyppy the Horse that is near Hyppacas Caepheus Cassiopia and Romeda Perseus Auriga Deltoton Bernices here likewise there are other Stars who for their plain appearance had their names from the notable Stars about the middle shank of Arctophilax and are called Arcturus and the shining Star placed by the Harp borrows its name from the Sign the Stars at the top of Perseus left hand are named Gorgons the clear Star in the Shoulder of Auriga is called the Goat the two lesser Stars at the extremity of the hand are called the Kidds and all that lye on the South side of the Zodiack are Southern signs their Names as follow Orion the Centaur the Beast that he holds in his hand Thyrsylocus the Rehale the Southern-Fish the Skinker of Aquarius the Flood of Orion the Southern Crown the Road that lyeth by Hyparcus and in these there are Stars that have taken proper names the bright Star in Prokyou is called by that name the bright Star in the South Dogs mouth is called the Dog or Dog-star The Star that shineth in the top of Argo is call'd Canopius And thus much touching these Stars which well considered may in a great measure be a help to Sailers in directing their Course especially in those Seas where the Stars are the most material Guide As for the two Tropicks they are Cancer and Capricorn the first the Summer Tropick or Oblstice being the boundards of the Sun and the two extreams of the twelve Signs The Poles are Artick and Antartick North and South the former by reason of its Elevation is visible in our Horizon but the latter is depressed and not visible in the Northern parts of the World These Poles are no other than a certain number of Stars that making in a manner a Circle turn only round never rising and seeing as the other Stars from whence they derive their names of Poles or as it were Centres of the Spheres on which they turn and move about CHAP. XXXIX An Essay by way of Discourse of the substance and nature of Heaven and Celestial Bodies c. or a Scheme of Divine and Natural Philosophy THough this to some may seem strange yet may it not altogether prove unprofitable being drawn from Reason general and particular Observations as likewise from the Opinions of the Learned First Then I shall thus proceed that amongst all Creatures in Heaven and Earth some are spiritual and others corporal by the spiritual is meant those that have no body or visible substance as Angels and the Souls of Men now in this case some have life and others not some are lasting and immutable others perishable and corruptible some motion and ther 's without motion and amongst those which are without life there is difference in two points some have natural motion the rest want it and amongst those which have this motion some are mutable corruptible and subject to change the rest not persisting always in their Estate during the course of this World stones and metals c. are of the number of those that have neither life nor any natural moving whatsoever but participate with the Stable Earth The Water Air and Fire are Creatures the which though wanting life yet have the motion and are subject to all corruption as are all other Creatures composed of Elements whether they retain life or not for by reason they are compounded of matter and contrary qualities they do at length corrupt and are changed not in regard of the first nature and substance which perishes not tho it changeth Forms but returneth always into the same Element whereof every compound consisteth and notwithstanding stones and metals are exceeding hard yet are they not Exempt from corruption but are consumed by Usage but the Celestial Bodies consists of such matter nature and substance that being in perpetual motion they ever persevere and are intire in their first form not being subject to change in Bodies or any way consuming like other Creatures that are under them As for the matter and substance of the Celestial Bodies it has occasioned divers disputes amongst the Learned for some even Phylosophers have affirmed that the Heavens and Stars are

compounded of the same Elements with other Creatures though somewhat refined and purged from its grosness rendring this reason viz. that they could not be visible were they not made of visible matter and that it is unlikely that visible things should be made of things invisible from whence they conclude that there is in the composition of Celestial Bodies some portion of Earth and Water and that they are more lucid and bright they attribute to the nature of the Air and Fire others are of Opinion that the Heavens are composed of another nature of substance which they term the fifth Essence of most rare and different substance from the Elementary and much more excellent and noble but whatsoever may be subtilly invented in this matter it may be very well conjectured that heat is the substance of subsistance of Celestial Bodies which is inseperable from brightness the similitude and semblance of light having the substance of it and of heat so annexed with it self that it is almost nothing else so that the light brightnes and heat may be taken for one and the same thing the substance and matter of Heaven and of all the Spheres neither are they more wearied worn and corrupted for all the labour they have performed by the space of so many thousand years than they were the first day of their Creation for we must not hold it for a change and alteration of their natures and qualities in that according to their divers courses the Stars and Planets are sometimes far from and sometimes nearer to each other and that they have conjunctions oppositions and divers aspects according to the variety of their motions not yet for the Eclipse of the Sun occasioned by the interposition of the Moon 's dark Body between us and that glorious light or of the Moon by the interposition of the shadow of the Earth between the Sun and her lightness or be for such changes are not in their proper Bodies substance and quality but only in regard of us and our sight though in the end they shall wax old like a Garment and pass away but till that appointed time sealed up from the knowledge of all Men or Angels in the Bosom of infinite Wisdom they shall keep their course without alteration CHAP. XL. A Treatise of Fiery Meteors and their Generation THE Generation of the fiery Impression oft seen in the Air called burning Stubble or sparkles of Fire is on this kind viz. When the matter of the Exhalation being an Unctious or Oily Vapour extracted from the Earth by the influence of the Stars or Beams of the Sun into the highest Region and there being in all parts alike thin one part takes fire before the other can arrive so kindled by degrees it flies abroad like sparkles or falling Stars The flying Dragon or fiery Drake another sort of fiery Meteors is a Body of a vaporous matter ascending to the Region of cold but by reason of its grosness not capable to pass it so that being driven down by the vehementness of its agitation takes fire forming it self into the shape of a Dragon very fearful to behold and in the like nature are generated and kindled fires in the Air resembling Shields Globes Bowels Lamps Pyramids and the like according as they fall into fashion by reason of the opposition they meet or their sooner or later kindling There is a Light seen upon the Earth called Will with the Wish which in Moorish or Marshy ground is seen to go before men in a dark Night called by the Latins Ignis Fatuus or foolish fire which is indeed no other but a Vapour kindled by vehement agitation moving and skipping up down by the motion or direction of the Air when through the darkness of the Night men many times fixing their eyes upon it they are so dazled as they loose their way which they foolishly attribute to the power of this Vapour which indeed has no such operation There are other flames which appear upon mens beards hair as likewise upon Beast's these are caused by clammy Vapours scattered in the Air and taking fire by their swift and vehement motion which ingenders such heat that in motion many times Arrows have taken fire and Bullets have melted Comets or Blazing-Stars are no other than a huge Mass of vaporous Unctions which by reason of its subtilty reaches the Region of Fire and there blazes till the matter that feeds it is consumed the Train or Tail being the blaze and the round Head the Body of Fire that continues it and cannot be seen where the Sun beams make any impression but is very discernable when the shadow of the Earth passes about it but for the most part these Exhalations threaten mankind with divers Calamities appearing as the Beacons of Heaven to warn the sinful World to repent CHAP. XLI A Treatise of Airy Impressions their Nature and Generation c. THE cause of many Suns and Moons appearing at once that is the representation of many though indeed not real is as to the first when the Sun casts a full reflex upon smooth and watery Clouds and in them impresses its likeness so that sometimes there appear two three or five Suns in this nature so are produced the Images of many small Suns like little Stars and in like manner are produced the Images of the Moon seen oftner than the former by reason of her nearness to the Earth Lightning is caused by a hot Vapour ascending from the Earth and Water which in its Ascension taking fire yet not being able to break through the cold Region it forces its passages downward when meeting with watery cold it plunges into them and rend them in pieces with horrible Bellowing which is called Thunder but when no Clouds interpose or at least very thin ones then are flashes of Lightning only seen but no Thunder heard the reason why the Lightning is so long seen before the Thunder is heard is for that the sence of seeing is more quick and instant than that of hearing Earthquakes are caused by Winds in the Bowels or hollow Caverns of the Earth fighting with the heat and opposition they meet with so that struggling for vent they often in forcing their way rend and force the Earth in sunder and fly forth in prodigious Whirlwind doing great mischief Whirlwinds properly termed so is caused by a strong Vapour or Airy Contraction that forces its way through a flock of Clouds without any noise of Thunder of flash of Lightning Another sort there are called fiery Whirlwinds which is when a Vapour in such a case takes fire which sort overthrows and destroys all dry things that oppose it Circles about the Sun and Moon are caused by the thick and grosness of the Air for the Beams being shot direct reverberate or are beaten back making a round Circle or Halen according to the roundness of the body of Light which occasions it and sometimes it so falleth out through the Interposition
