Physicall herbs have their strength from the Sun and oftentimes the spring cureth the winter diseases and the summer the infirmities of the spring he was called the god of musick because he cleers up the spirits of all things therefore the birds do welcome his approach with their melodious harmonie therefore the Swan was dedicated to him and the grashoppers also and as in musick so in his motionâ—and operations there is a harmony and because he fits the air which is the medium of musick and of all sounds the Muses for this cause are in his custodie which were inlarged from three to nine according as the number of strings increased in musicall instruments he was called an Archer because his beames like arrows fly every where His Tripos which some will have to be a table called also Cortina from Pythons skin with which it was covered others a three-footed vessell others a three-footed chair wherein they fate that prophesied I say this Tripos may signifie the three circles in the Zodiack which every yeer hee toucheth to wit the Ecliptick and the two Tropicks They that died suddenly or of any violent disease were said to be killed by Apollo because the Sun with extreme heat doth cause famine and infectionâ— Feavers Thus he was said to shoot with his arrows Amphiâ—ns children to him were dedicated the strong Bull the white Swan the quick-sighted Raven to signifie the power and beauty and piercing light of the Sun which because it detecteth obscure things hee was called a Prophet the Olive Palm and Bay-tree also were dedicated to him both because the Olive and Palm grow not but in hot countries and because they are as the Bay-tree usefull in physick and of an hot quality like the Sun therefore he was said to be in love with Daphne the daughter of the River Peneus because on the banks of that River are good store of Bay-trees his shooes and garments were of gold to shew his colour hee with Neptune built the walls of Troy to shew that without Gods assistance no City or State can stand or be built His love which hee bare to the flower Hyacinthus is to show that flowers doe bud and prosper by the Sun and die with cold winds therefore Zephyrus was the cause of his death and perhaps Apollo and Neptune were said to build Troys walls because morter and brick are made by the help of heat and water or because Laomedon either stole or borrowed some treasure out of the Temples of Apollo and Neptune 4. Our Saviour Christ is the true Apollo both a destroyer of Satans Kingdome and a saver of his people for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is asmuch as to loose by paying the price of redemption hee is the Sun of righteousnesse by whose beams and arrowes that is his word Python the divell is subdued he is the Son of God and the God of Wisdom the great Prophet the Son of Latona that is of an obscure maid the true God of physick who cureth all our infirmities and the God of musick too for that harmony of affections and communion of Saints in the Church is from him hee hath subdued our Giants that is our spirituall foes by whose malice the thunder of Gods wrath was kindled against us Hee is immortall and the good Shepherd who hath laid downe his life for his sheep having for his sheeps sake forsaken his Fathers glory and hee it is who hath built the walls of Jerusalem Apollo was never so much in love with Hyacinthus as Christ was with the sons of men 5. As the Sun amongst the Planets so is a King amongst his subjects â— King is Apollâ— the destroyer of the wicked and a preserver of good men the light and life and beauty of his people a God of wisdome amongst them to guide them with good lawes a God of physick to cut off rotâ—en and hurtfull members to purge out all grosse humours that is bad manners with the pils of justice and to cheer up with cordiâ—ls or rewards the sound and solid parts of the politick body hee is a God of musick also for where there is no King or head there can be no harmony nor concord hee is a prophet to foresee and prevent those dangers which the people cannot hee is a subduer of Pythons and Giants that is of all pestiferous disturbers and oppressors of the State his arrowes are his Lawes and power which reacheth thorow all the parts of his dominion hee is a good shepherd and Kings are so called and a King thus qualified shall be like the Sun still glorious immortall youthfull and green like the Palm Olive and Bay-tree but if hee doth degenerate into a tyrant then hee is the cause of mortality as the Sun is when hee inflames the air with excessive heat ARACHNE SHee was a Lydian Maid skilfull in weaving and spinning and by Minerva for her insolencie in provoking a goddesse was turned into a Spider The INTERPRETER 1. THe cause of Arachnes overthrow was the rejecting of the old womans counsell into whose shape Pallas had transformed her selfe then are young people readie for ruine when they will follow their own heads and despise the counsell of the aged whose experience and gravitie should temper their temeritie Seris venit usus ab annis 2. This Arachne did learn of the Spider to spin and weave for the beasts are in many things our School-masters 3. It is not good to be proud and insolent of any art or knowledge 4. Subtill and trifling sophisters who with intricacies and querks intangle men are no better then Spiders whose captious fallacies are no lesse hatefull to the wise then Arachnes web was to Minerva 5. Partial Judges use their lawes as Spiders do their webs to catch little flyes and let the great ones passe thorow 6. Covetous men are like Spiders they unbowel that is they consume and spend themselves with care and toyle to catch a fly for wealth in the end will be found little better 7. Envie and a slandering tongue is like a Spider which doth crack the purest glasses so do they poyson the best men 8. Wee should be Spiders in providence they hang their nets in windowes where they know flyes most resort and worke most in warme weather for then the flyes come most abroad and like Mice they foretell the ruine of an house by falling and running away as Pliny showeth ARGONAUT â— See JASON and HERCULES ARION WAs a skilfull Musician who having got great wealth and sailing to Lesbos was robbed by the mariners and appointed to be flung in the sea who having leave to play on his Harpe so charmed the Dolphins that they received him on their backs and caried him to Tenarus where the dolphin died that caried him being left on the shâ—are and was placed among the stars the mariners were taken and put to death The INTERPRETER 1. WHen the Tyrrbenian mariners robbed Bacchus he made them mad for they supposing the

Neptune was his friend both in the Tâ—â—jan war and to help him forward to Italy Vulcan made him armour Mercury was his Counsellor and spokesman Cupid made way with Queen Dido to entertain him to shew that a Prince cannot be fortunate and powerful without shipping armour eloquence and love 5. The golden Branch made way for him to Proserpins and brought him to hell and so doth the inordinate love of gold bring many unto hell Again gold maketh way through the strongest gates and overcometh the greatest difficulties besides gold is the symbole of wisdome without which no man can overcome difficulties Lastly hee that will goe through the dangers of hell that is the pangs of death with cheerfulnesse must carry with him a golden branch that is a good conscience and perhaps this goldâ—n branch pâ—ay be the symbole of a Kings 〈◊〉 the ensigne of government wherein a King is happy if his 〈◊〉 be streight and of gold that is â—f wealth and justice and wisdome go together 6. Aâ—naeas had not found the branch without the Doves his mothers birds so without love innocency and chastity wee cannot attain to true wisdome 7. He that would attain unto the true Branch that is Christ the righteous Branch and Wisdome of the Father must follow the guide of the â—wo Doves the Old and the New Testament they will shew us where hee â—s 8. Aenaeas by the help of Sibyl went safely through Hell so by the assistance of Gods counsell for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Sibyl signifieth so much we shall overcome all difficulties 9. His companion was Achaâ—es for great Princes are never without much care and sollicitude as the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 sign fieth 10. Aenaeas went â—he â—ow the â—aâ—gers of hell sea and land before he could have quiet possession in Italy so wee must thorow many dangers enter into the kingdome of heaven 11. Aenaeas is the Idea of a perfect Prince and Governâ—ur in whom wee see piety towards his gods in carrying them with him having 〈◊〉 them from the fire of Troy in worshipping the gods of the places still where hee came in going to Apollo's Temple as soon as hee lands in Italy in his devout prayers hee makes to Jupiter Apollo Venus and other gods piety also towards his old father in carrying him on his shoulders in bewailing of his death visiting of his tombe going down to hell to see him his love was great to his wife Câ—eusa in lamenting and casting himself into open danger for her his love was great to his sonne Ascanius in the good breeding and counselling of him to Palinurus Mysenâ—â— and others his vigilancy in guâ—ding thâ—â—â—lm midnight when his people were asleep his liberalâ— to his souldiers his magnanimity 〈◊〉 wisdomâ— fortitude justice temperance are fit by all Princes to be imitated and the Aeneads to be diligently read AEOLVS HE was Jupiters son a King over divers â—ands and reigned in a City wallâ—â— with brasse hee kept the 〈◊〉 in a cave or hollâ—w hill which at Juno's request and promise of a marriage with her Nymph 〈◊〉 he let 〈◊〉 against Aenaeas The INTERPRETER BEfore that Aeolus was made King of the winds they were very unruly and had amongst themselves divers conflicts and encounters so that not onely ships on the sâ—a but castles and whole towns also on the land were overthrown by them even so till Kings and Governours were chosen by the people to rule and guide them they were subject to conâ—inuall disorders 〈…〉 and â—ivill broils oppressing one another but a wiâ—e King like another Aeolus Sâ—â—ptra tenet mollisque animes 〈◊〉 Ni faciat maria ac 〈…〉 Quippe sâ—â—ant rapâ—di secum 〈…〉 2.

He kept the winds in a hollow cave because so 〈…〉 vapours which sometimes burst forth with violence 6. He reigned over Ilands because they are most subject to storms 7. Juno could not sink Aenaeas his ships without the help of Aâ—olus neither can the air violently work if it be not moved by the vapours which are the winds or â—lse without vapours by the planets 8. The marriage between Aeolus and the sea Nymph shewes the relation that is between the wind and the sea 9. Hee may be called Aâ—olus and the God of winds that can 〈◊〉 keep under anger and other unruly pâ—ssions 10. 〈…〉 a dangerous 〈◊〉 when Juno and Aeolus thâ—t is wealth and power band themselves against innocent men AESCULAPIUS HEe was the 〈◊〉 of Pâ—ysick and son oâ— Apollo and Coronis the Nymph whâ—m Apollo 〈◊〉 with his arrowes and cut out the childe 〈…〉 as some would have it 〈…〉 the plaâ—ue in the form of a Serpent being brought from Epidaâ—â—â—n in a ship hee restâ—â—ed Hippolitus to life therefore was killed by Jupiters 〈◊〉 The INTERPRETER 1. I Finde Aesculapius painted like an ancient man with a lâ—ng bâ—ard crownâ—d with 〈◊〉 having in one hand a knottie or knobbed staste with the other hee leans upon a serpent and hath a dog at his feet by which are represented the qualities of a Physiâ—ian hee â—ught to be grave and aged wise as the serpâ—nt vigilant as the dog and should be a conquerâ—ur of 〈◊〉 as his 〈◊〉 garland shewes the knobbed 〈◊〉 signâ—â—ieth the dâ—fficultie and 〈◊〉 of physick 2.

Aesâ—ulâ—pius was brought from Epiâ—aurus in shape of a serpent to Rome where he drove away the pestilence it seems the Romans had heard of the bâ—sen sâ—rpent which in the defart hâ—aled all the beholders of their stings and wounds 4. Aesculapius is the milde temper of the air as the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 blandus sheweth which is the effect of the Sun or Apollo and is the cause of health therefore Hygiaea and â—aso that is health c cure are the children of Aesculapiâ— His mother is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 misiâ—â— â—â—mpeâ—o or the due mixture and temper of the aire which because it depends from the influence of the Sun therefore Apollo is said to begeâ— Aesculapius of her but when he killed her with his arrowes is meant that the Sun with his beams 〈◊〉 over-heat and inâ—â—ct the air with a pestâ—lence 5. I had rather understand by this fiction the true temperament of a sound mans body caused by Apollo and
such maâ—nesse and so many distractions and distempers among us 3. Commonly these three furies are taken for the tortures of an evill conscience proceeding from the guilt of sinne they cause feare and furie as the word Erinnys signifieth hell is the place of their aboad and where they are there is hell the tortures whereof are begun in the conscience of wicked men 4. There are three unruly passions in men answering to these three furies covetousnesse is Alâ—â—to which never giveth over seeking wealth and indeed this is the greatest of all the furies and will not suffer the miser to eat and enjoy the goods that hee hath gotten Furiarum maxima juxia Accubat manibus prohibes contingere meâ—sas Ae n. 6. This is an Harpie indeed not only delighting in rapine but polluting every thing it hath Contacts omnia foedâ—â— immundo Aen. 3. this may be called Jupiters dog or rather a dog in the mâ—nger neither eating himselfe nor suffering others to ear The second furie is Megaera that is Envie full of poyson and snakie hairs The third is Tisâ—phone which is Inordinate anger or a revengefull disposition the burning torch and wings shew the nature of anger all these have their beginning and being from Hell from Darknesse and Night even from Satan and the twofold darknesse that is in us to wit the ignorance of our understanding and the corruption of our will but as the Furies had no accesse unto Apollo's temple but were placed in the porch ulâ—icâ—sque sedent in lumine Dirae Aenead 8. although otherwise they were had in great veneration so neither have they accesse unto the mindes of good men which are the temples of the holy Ghost 5. Gods three judgements which hee sends to punish us to wit plague famine and sword are the three furies Megaera is the plague it sweeps and takes away multitudes the famine is Alecto which is never satissied and the sword is Tisâ—phone a revenger of sin and a murtherer These have their seat in hell as they are sent from or raised by Satan and in heaven also as they are sent by God without whose permission Satan can do nothing they may be called Harpies from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as the Furies were because they snatch and carry all things headlong with them and Dirae quasâ— Dei irae being the effects of Gods anger they are Jupiters dogs the executioners of Gods wrath and devourers of sinners they come swistly with wings and tread hard with their brazen feet the plague is the snake that poysoneth the famine is the torch that consumeth and burneth the sword is the whip that draweth bloud 6. Ministers should be Eumenides from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is gracious benevolent of a good minde as the word signifieth being properly taken They should have the wisdome of Serpents in their heads the torch of Gods word in one hand the whip of Discipline in the other the wings of contemplation and the brazen feet of a constant and shining conversation CHAP. VI. F FAUNUS See PAN. FORTUNE SHee was the daughter of Oceanus and servant of the gods a great goddesse her selfe in sublunary things but blinde and carried in a chariot drawn by blind horses shee stood upon a globe having the helm of a ship in one hand and the horn of plenty in the other and the heaven on her head The INTERPRETER 1. FOrtune and the Moon are taken for one and the same Deity for as the Moon so Fortune is still changeable and unconstant and as the Moon so Fortune hath the command and dominion over sublunary things and as from the Moon so from Fortune the generation and corruption of things have their dependence 2. Neer to Fortune stood the image of Favour in the habit of a youth with wings standing upon a wheele to shew us that favour is procured by Fortune and that this is as unstable and ready to fly from us as Fortune it selfe 3. Amongst many other images of Fortune there were two of speciall note the one was called Fortuna calva bald Fortune the other Fortuna viâ—â—ea glassie fortune to shew that it is a difficult thing to lay hold upon Fortune being bald so when we have caught her shee is quickly broke being glassie 4. The Roman Emperours put more confidence in Fortune then in any other Deity therefore they alwayes kept in their closets the golden image of Fortune and when they travelled abroad that was still their companion I wish wee Christians would as much esteem and honour Gods providence and rely on it as the Romans did on their Fortune 5. Fortune is either an unexpected event or else the hid cause of that event the blinde Gentiles made her a blinde goddesse ruling things by her will rather then by counsell therefore they used to raile at her because shee favoured bad men rather then good and called her blind as not regarding mens worth 6. But I think that the wiser sort by Fortune understood Gods will or providence which the Poet calls Omnipotent and the Historian the Ruler of all things shee may be called fortuna quasi fortis unâ— being onely that strong Ruler of the world She had many temples at Rome and many names sâ—ice stood upon a globe to shew her dominion of this world and the heaven on her head did shew that there is her beginning the helm and the horn of plenty in her hands are to shew that the government of this world and the plenty wee enjoy is from this divine providence and though they called her blinde yet wee know the contrary for shee is that eye which seeth all things and aâ—ar off and before they are as the word Providentia signifieth therefore they called her and her horses blinde because they were blinde themselves not being able to know the wonderfull wayes and secret ends of this Providence why good men should here live in affliction and miserie and the wicked in honour and prosperitie whereas they should have known as some of the wiser men did that no miserie could befall a good man because every hard fortune doth either exercise amend or punish us he is miserable saith Seneca that never was miserable they are miserable who are becalmed in the Sea not they who are driven forward to their haven by a storm a surfeit is worse then hunger but see himself speaking excellently to this purpose therefore they had no reason to rail at Fortune when shee crossed them for to a good man all things fall out for the best yet in good sence Gods providence may be called blinde as Justice is blinde for it respecteth not the excellencie of one creature above another but Gods generall providence exteneth it self to all alike to the worme as well as the Angel for as all things are equâ—lly subject to God in respect of casualitie so are they to his providence he is the preserver of man and beast his Sun shineth and his rain
crowned with Palmes to shew the sweetnesse comfort and perpetuitie of Learning For the sâ—me cause the Poets were crowned with Bayes and Ivie to signifie the perpetual verdure and beauty of Learning 6. The Muses had divers Names from divers occasions they are called Nymphae the Goddesses of Water to shew the dâ—lights benefit and cleerenesse of Poetry Also 〈◊〉 and Heliconides also Pierides Aonides from the hills Parnassus Heliron Pieria and the Countrey Aonia where they dwelt they are called also Pegasides and Aganippides from the Well Hippociene which Pegasus mâ—de with his hoose the Water of which Well made a kinde of Musicall sound which also other waters make in their running for which cause also I thinke the Muses were called Nymphes and because they drunke Water rather then Wine notwithstanding Horace speakes against Water-drinkers that they cannot be good Poets He loved Wine and Wenching to well to beleeve his commendation of either a far better Poet then he who was called the Virgin Poet both for his temperature and abstinence was no Wine-bibber I finde that Wine in some dull and Palegmatique bodies may a little helpâ— the invention yet doubtlesse it is an enemie to judgement which is most of all required in a Poet They were called also Libethrideâ— from that Well in Magnesia dedicated to the Muses and Thespiâ—deâ— from a Towne called Thespia in Boâ—tia and Ilissides from Ilissus a River of Allicâ— and Pimpleides from a Fountaine in Macedonia and Casâ—alides from the Well Casâ—aliâ— Olympiadâ—s from hill Olympus Corycides from the cave Corycium Mnemosynides from their mother Mnemosyne Ardalides from the place Ardalus Pateides from a well in Macedonia Ligiae from a kind of song called Ligium Maeonides from the countrey Mâ—onia 7. The particular names of the Muses are Clio from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 glory for great is the glory of learning though ignorance be its enemie Euterpe from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 delighâ—full for there is no delight comparable to thâ—t of learned men Thalia from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to grow green for learning will still flourish and never wither Melpomene that is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 making melodie for the life of a Scholar is still cheerfull and melodious Terpsiâ—hore from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to delight in singing or dâ—ncing for the songs dancing and mirth of learned men are within themselves Eratâ— from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 love for the more a man knowes learning the more heâ— loves it onely ignorant fools hate it Polymnia from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 no mens mindes are so full of melodie and spirituall comfort as the minds of learned men Vrania from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the heaven for learning came from thence and the mindes of learned men are there and not upon earthly things Calliope from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a good voice there is no outward voice so charming and melodious as the inward voice of knowledge in the minde by which a man discouâ—â—eth with himself and is never lesse alone then when he is alone 8. They write that divers men being taken with the melodie of the Muses forgot to eat and drink and so were turned into grashoppers who yet continually sing in the fields without meat and drink by this I think they meant thâ—t many men by too much study macerate and exteâ—uate their bodies looking rather like grashoppers then men who notwithstâ—nding with their spare diet live longer and healthier then fat Epicures feeding as it were upon and delighting themselves with the songs of the Muses 9. Seeing the Muses are Jupiters daughters and came from heaven and are perpetuall Virgins by which is intimated their divine originall puritie and modestie 't is an injurie to the sacred study of Poetry to call scurrilous and wanton versifiers by the name of Poets whereas Poetry is â— divine gift the end whereof is to praise and honour God the father of it who therefore hath given wings to the Muses that they might soare on high in heavenly raptures and that they might flee away from the company of such chattering Mag-pies 10. As all gods and goddesses had their birds dedicated to them so had the Muses these are the beeâ— which doe much resemble Scholars in their providence industry labours order and harmony temperance also and observance to their kings they are content with little yet afford much benefit to the owner so doe Scholars to the State neither is there any bird to which learned men and Students are more beholding then to the bees which both afford them food and physick in their honey and light in their lucubrations in their waâ— CHAP. XII N NEMESIS SHe was the daughter of Jupiter and Necessitie o◠〈◊〉 others say of Night and the Ocean the goddesse oftevenge punishing the wicked and revenging the good she was â—â—lled Adrastia from king Adrastuâ— who first built her a temple and Rhamnusia from a place in Attica where she had a stately image The INTERPRETER 1. NEmesis is Jupiters and Necessities daughter to shew that God in his justice punisheth the wicked which necessarily hee must doe or else hee were not just nor could hee guide the world if hee should suffer the wicked still to flourish and prevaile and good men to be still oppressâ—d therefore Nemesis is painted with a bâ—idle and a ruler by which is represented Gods justice in curbing and holding in of wicked men and in ruling of the world 2. Shee is the daughter of Night and the Ocean to shew that God oftentimes punisheth mens sins with darknesse as hee did the Egyptians and the world at Christs crucifixion and with spirituall darknesse too or ignorance of minde as hee did the Gentiles and the Jewes too who sâ—te in spirituall darknesse and saw not the Sun of righteousnesse so likewise hee revengeth sin with inundations of the sea as hee did the first world and many countries since Or else this may shew that ignorance signified by the night and wealth represented by the Ocean which enricheth the neighbouring lands are the causes of wickednesse and this the occasion of Gods just vengeance 3. Nemesis is called the daughter of Justice because God punisheth none but when hee is justly provoked thereunto Hence some have thought Nemesis and Justice to be the same which they paint like a virgin of a truculent aspect quick-sighted sad holding the ballance in the one hand and a whip or rods with a hatchet in the other to shew that Justice must not be partiall but pure from bribes and by-respects terrible to the wicked quick-sighted in finding out the hidden truth of a sad aspect for justice or vengeance doth not punish with delight the rods and hatchet shew the diversities of punishments according to the diversitie of sins and sometimes she is painted naked sitting on a square stone because Justice must be open not hid square and stedfast not moveable and unconstant 4.
