Heaven to give light upon Earth and it was so And God made two great Lights the greater light to RULE the day the lesser Light to RULE the night He made the Stars also And set them in the Firmament of the Heaven to give light upon Earth And to RULE over the day and over the night and to divide the light from darkness To this place also answers that in the 136. Psalm He made the Sun to RULE by day and the Moon and Stars to RULE by night In these Scriptures God saith He made them to Rule He set them for Signs therefore they must signifie something He set them also for Seasons for Daies and for Years the Scriptures are so cleer they need no Exposition But let us see a little what Reason saith to the business It is palbable and apparant that all Elementary Bodies never stand at a stay but are ever either increasing or decreasing It is as apparant that the Celestial Bodies are not changed but remain the very same they were at the first Creation and if so the Elementary Bodies must needs be by Nature Passive because they are subject to change and the Celestial Bodies active because they change not as a Carpenter when he hews a Timber-log the Timber-log must needs change form according as 〈◊〉 hewed but the Carpenter himself changeth not Secondly Consider that all Time is measured out by Motion and that the Original of all Motion is in the Heavens for it is the motion of the Sun which causeth day and night Summer Winter Spring and Harvest from which Conversion of Times and Years all changes proceed both Heat and Cold Dryness and Moisture by which four is caused Life and Death Generation and Putrifaction increase and decrease of Elementary things for the Elementary world is the womb of all Elementary Creatures both Animals Minerals and Vegetables it conceives them and nourisheth and cherisheth them being conceived this womb is alwaies full of useful Matter fit for the forming increasing and conserving Bodies whether Animal Mineral or Vegetable the Sun gives a vital seed and stirs up all to motion and action quickens and defends what it hath quickned the Moon subministers moisture to preserve what the Sun hath Generated from the scorching heat which is caused by motion both Sun and Moon make use of the other five Planets even as the Heart and Brain make use of the Liver Spleen Gall c. in the Body of Man for the effecting and varying things below and tempering them diverse waies according to their several motions else all the things generated in the Elementary World would be of one Nature and Quality and then the world could not subsist for Man having all qualities in him cannot subsist without any one of them He and he only is a Physitian that knows which of these qualities offends by which of the Celestial Bodies it is caused and how safely and speedily to remedy it all the the rest that practice Physick are but Mountebanks for there is no question to be made but that all Diseases have their original from super-aboundance or deficiency of Heat Coldness Dryness or Moisture and that the Elements barely from themselves can cause this is an opinion more fitting for a Hog-herd than a Phylosopher for whatsoever is begotten must have a matter to be begotten of as well as something to beget it and this matter must be proper to receive form for man cannot make a Timber-log of a Turf nor a Book of an Egg-shel therefore this Matter must naturally be affected to suffer whatsoever form the Author pleaseth to give it the Author of every Generation must be altogether active not subject to any adverse principles that so he may not run out of one thing into another before he hath finished and this is proper to the Sun Moon and Stars this will be denied by none that have lived a Rational Man but one Summer and one Winter and felt a difference of heat and coldness driuess and moisture caused by the neerness and remoatness of the Sun and seen the difference of springing increasing and decaying of things upon Earth in those times for when we see the Load-stone draws Iron it shews plainly that Nature hath given it efficacy so to do so when we see these things done by the Heavens we must needs think Nature hath given the Heavens power to do so and seeing those Qualities Heat Coldness Dryness and Moisture are contrary the one to the other of necessity sometimes the one must yeeld and sometimes the other and thence comes the Procreation Corruption and Vicissitude of things below and seeing all likes rejoyce in their likes and disagree with their dislikes there must needs be something in the Heavens agreeable to all this therefore some part of the Heavens is said to be Hot some Cold some Dry and some moist not because they are so in themselves but because they work such effects in Elementary Bodies as is evident to the experience of them that search after it We have now shewed you what a Physitian ought to be in respect of Knowledg in the Celestial World I shall only now show you in a word or two what knowledg he ought to have in the Elementary and Intellectual worlds and that very briefly and so conclude As in the Celestial world he ought very carefully to heed the oppositions and great conjunctions of the Planets the Eclipses of the Luminaries the Quarterly ingresses of the Sun and the Crisis of Diseases so in the Elementary world he ought to heed the Seasons of the Year whether they be hotter colder dryer moister than they should be 〈◊〉 ought to be very well skilled in Vegetables and Minerals and how the Earth brings them forth what is the Office of the Central Sun and what is the office of the Celestial Sun what is the office of the Central Moon and what the office of the Celestial Moon in the production of things here below and how and by what Mediums they perform it Lastly In the Intellectual World he ought to be very frequent fearing God and eschewing evil for into his hands as the means hath the eternal God of Heaven and Earth put the lives of those Christians whom he loved so well that he redeemed them by the Blood of his only begotten Son Let him be very studious in those great Books of God the Book of the Scripture and the Book of the Creatures let the Glory of God and the Good of the Creature be his whol Aim neither let such a Monster as Covetousness have the least entertainment in his heart let him be no respecter of Persons but go as willingly to the Poor for nothing as to the Rich for a reward Knowing That he that giveth to the Poor lendeth to the Lord and he shall be sure to have a good Pay-master To conclude In all his practices let him consider what he would have another do to him if he were in like case and

It is probable the Author studied to invent an Oyl extreamly cold when he invented this I am of opinion it may be used safely no way but only to anoint the temples and noses of such as have a frenzy If by using this Ointment you see they sleep too long dip a spunge in Viniger and hold to their noses it may be a means to awake them It is scarse safe yet if you let it alone it cannot do you harm Moschelaeum Page 149. in the Latin Book Or Oyl of Musk.

I wonder why they should put in Oyl of Sesamum or Oyl of Olives when every body knows Sesamum is a kind of purging pulse but purge or bind it is all one to them it seems So Authors say it Will that answer serve the turn before the Lord God Almighty another day I left out Oyl of Sesamum in the coppy because of that and if it be made as I have written it It heats attenuates digests and moderately binds and therefore helps all cold and windy afflictions of the brain stomach reins spleen liver bladder and womb being snuffed up the nose it purgeth the head and gives a good colour and smel to the body Oleum Nicodemi Page 150. in the Latin Book The Colledg Take of the seeds or tops of Saint Johns wort old Turpentine of each one pound Litharge six drachms Aloes Hepatick Tutty of each three drachms Saffron one ounce white Wine four pound old Oyl two pound The fourth part of the Wine being consumed in a bath or sand or in the Sun in the Dog daies after the tenth day strain it and keep the Oyl apart from the Wine Culpeper A.
