TWO COMMON PLACES TAKEN OVT OF ANDREAS HYPERIVS A LEARNED diuine whereof In the one He sheweth the force that the Sonne Moone and Starres haue ouer men c. In the other Whether the Deuils haue bene the shewers of Magicall artes c. Translated into English by R. Y. ❧ VBIQVE FLORESCIT LONDON Imprinted by Iohn Wolfe 1581. To the worshipfull and his especiall good frend M. Latham of Sandowne in Essex YOur very courteous affabilitie whereof I haue had so great experience continuing without any shew of a mutable mind hath greatelye moued myne affection to make no small account of your worships frendship And I would to God that it were in me by any meanes to make any small amendes vnto you for the same Which to do is easier for me to wish than to accomplishe Wherefore as there is no remedie but that I must remayne endebted so on the contrary parte to shew no signes of a willing minde were nothing els but a manifest tokē of an ingrateful person Wherevpon hauing perused certaine of the common places contained in the Methode of Hyperius and lighting vpon these two here specified and thinking them not vnmeete to be reuealed for the instruction of the people I purposed for declaration of my louing mind toward you to put them forth in print dedicated vnto your worship Vnto whome I know they shall be no lesse acceptable then if they were thinges of very great account Thus committing you and your affaires to the protection of the highest I bid you farewell Yours to commaund R. Vaux An admonition to the Reader THou art to consider gentle Reader that a translator is bounde as nighe as may be vnto his author that he pretendeth to translate so that he is not onelye to shewe his sense and meaninge but as farre forth as may be to shew his very wordes Wherefore if in turninge some places of the holy scripture by mine author cited I do not aunsweare thine expectation thou maist seing thou hast those places quoted vnto thee haue recourse if it please thee to thine owne translation which peraduenture is plainelier done to thy capacitie and because thou art accustomed thereunto more to thy contentation And so yeldinge to Hyperius the prayse which he hath well deserued for his labors thou mayst contente thy minde Farewell THE FOVRTH DAY WORKE BY GOD MENTIONED GEnesis the first chapter MOyses prosecutynge the great workes of God writeth that in the fourth daye were made lightes in the firmament of heauen which myght geue lyght to the earth might make difference betwene daye and nyght betwene lyght and darknes and myght be for signes and for tymes and for dayes and for yeares There were two such lightes made the one greater to gouerne the day the other lesse to gouerne the night to the which also are adioyned the starres These questions therfore in this place are to be discoursed 1 What are the offices of the Sonne and Mone and how they be for signes and tymes 2 Whether there be distincte circles in heauen and the same be driuen about with a sure certen motion 3 Whether by the mouing of the circles there be any concent or harmonie brought forth 4 Whether the Starres haue lyfe 44. as they thoughte which did offer drinke offeringes to the Quene of heauen 5 Whether the Starres and the celestiall mouinges do bringe to passe any thinge vpon these inferior bodies As touchinge the firste question first stion The lighte was made the firste daye There was also a difference betwene lighte and darknes but certayne it is that it was not so perfecte and distinguished as it was after the Son and Moone were made besyde that those effectes coulde not come of that lighte which afterwarde folowed of the Sonne and the Moone It shall therfore be worth the while to waigh the offices ot the Sonne and Moone whereby wee shall vnderstande for what great and iust causes God hath made them 1. First both are called lights wherof is manifest that in kinde they are brought forth that they may encrease and make perfecte the lighte 2. Secondly when as both do shew lyghte so notwithstandinge are the offices of theire geuinge lighte distinguished that the one moste clearly doth shyne and doth strayghtwayes drme awaye all darkenes the other doth not shyne so clearly and doth admitte some darknes although it doth make the same somwhat lesse 1. cor 15. Thee is one maner lyghte of the Sonne another of the Mone another of the Starres 3. Thirdlye this dyuerse power in geuinge lighte is the cause that the one shyninge it is day the other shining it is night Which reason euen in Moises wordes is expressed 4. Fourthly this diuersitie in geuing light bringeth to passe that men also may discerne theire deedes and may appoynte the day to labour the night to rest yea and brute beastes do appoynt to thēselues a certayne difference Psalme 10. ● He hath made the Moone for certayne seasons and the Sonne knoweth his goinge downe Thou makest darknes it is nighter in it go abroade all the beastes of the wood the Lyons roaring gape after their praye that they may seke theire meat at God The Sonne riseth and they are gathered back and lye down in theire dennes man goeth out to his worke and to his laboure vntill the eueninge 5. Fiftly The Sonne is so made of god that it warmeth and dryeth The Moone doth gently make colde and moyste Which temperature is so necessarie in these inferior thinges that without it neither liuinge creatures neither any thinges els mighte abide Peraduenture the firste lighte mighte haue sufficed to note the difference betwene lighte and darknes but it was conuenient that newe bodies shoulde be broughte foorth in which other greater force shoulde be to nourishe and preserue those thinges which are in the earthe And therfore aswell with the heate and drinesse of the Sonne as with the colde and moystnes of the Moone all things in the wombe of the earth are nourished broughte forthe take theire increase and so all generation and nutrunente floweth from them into these inferior things 6. Sixtly Moreouer the motions of the Sonne Mone chiefly wherby euery day they are caried and recaried from the east into the west in certayne spaces of tymes and from the southe towarde the northe do shew a greate commoditie For not onely light and darkenes but also heate and colde with a certayne most apte proportion are dispersed abroade otherwhyle by these regions otherwhyle by other regions of the world which thinges as they are necessarie to the good constitutiō of mens bodies so do they more auayle then can be spoken to the alteration of the earthe if selfe and to the ordinarie encreasse of all thinges that come forthe in it Nether yet coulde the earthe or men abyde withoute ceassinge in one place continuall lighte or continuall darknes or els continuall heate or continuall colde wherefore euen moste necessarie
