Philosophers on all sides rested because of their probable probations and sometime for the assertions of their formors because of necessarie reason And in the same Chapter De alijs astris dicunt Aegiptij et Babilonicj c. Of other Starres doe speake the Aegiptians and Babilonians from whom wee haue many thinges that wee doe beleeue of euery our of those Starres But in the sciences of Astrologie and Astronomie haue flourished the sonnes of Seth Noe Abraham Salomon and the holy Fathers which haue taught Philosophers of secrets Celestiall and Diuine vnto the which they could not haue attained by humaine strength and naturall reason But Iosephus in the first Booke of the Antiquities of the Iewes sayth That Seth when he came to that age that could discerne good thinges gaue him selfe to the studie of Virtue and when he was become an excellent man he left his Sonnes to be followers of himselfe they all being the Sonnes of a good Father tarryed in the same Land liuing most happily without any vexation and first found out the discipline and learning of thinges Celestiall and the trimnesse of them And least they should slide away from men and vtterly perish seeing they had learned of Adam that there should be one extermination of all thinges by Fire and an other by the power and force of Water they made two Pillars one of Brasse and an other of Stone and wrote therein what they had found out of Celestiall thinges that they might leaue vnto men the knowledge of Celestiall secrets And in the Secrets of Secrets it is said That the glorious GOD hath ordained the meane and remedie to temper Humors and preserue Health and how to get many other thinges And hath reuealed it to Prophets and Holy men and others whom he fore-chose and illustrated with the spirit of his Wisedome Of these the men that followed had the beginning and originall of Philosophie Aegiptians Greekes Latines from whom the latter haue drawne and written the principles of Artes and Sciences And sayth he to Alexander it is meete and worthy that he know noble Phisicke which is sayd to be a glory inestimable and is called The Treasure of Philosophers I truely haue neuer truely or perfectly enough learned it neither doe I know who it was that inuented it Some affirme that Adam was the inuentor thereof Some say that it was Esculapius and Hermogenes the Phisition Hirsos and Domasti●● and Mati●dos hebrewes and Dioris and Carus glorious Philosophers Many say that Henooh by a vision knew this secret whom many will haue to be that great Hermogenes whom the Greekes do prayse and to him commend all Science secret celestiall Wherefore in the Prologue of the Books of Hermes Mercurius Triplex Trismegistus it is thus sayd We read in old Histories of Diuines that there were Three Philosophers whereof the first was Henoch who is also called Hermes and Mercurie The second Noe who was called Hermes for he as Albumuzar witnesseth was a great Prophet and first builded peopled Babilon after the Flood and instructed them in knowledge and learning His sonne Sem also taught the Babilonians or Caldeans and deliuered vnto them the science of the Starres The third was called Hermes Mercurius Triplex because he was a King a Philosopher a Prophet hee flourished after the Flood with great equitie gouerned the Kingdome of Aegipt and clearely brightened Astronomie And in the Booke of the Death of Aristotle it is said that After Noe was Abraham borne who being wiser then all did thorowly come to the great degree of Philosophie for he knew that Sol and Luna had a first moouer and therefore he followed not the way of his Father neither of his Kindred that worshipped Idols But as Josephus witnesseth in his Booke of the Antiquities of the Iewes hee preuayled to change innouate that opinion which then all had of God for hee first presumed to pronounce God one God to be the only Creator of all things for he according to the Histories of the Caldeans taught the Aegiptians Arithmeticke and also Astronomie These and many other secrets were planted in Aegipt which are knowne to haue come to the Greekes By the doctrines therefore of these Fathers illuminated from Heauen the Philosophers that came after being informed as it were strengthned by the Oracles of Prophets haue conscribed many glorious Sciences which they could not attaine vnto by the force of mans witte Did not Plato goe into Aegipt to learne Astrologie And there as it is thought of all for the most part hee learned what great thinges soeuer were there had and taught And chiefely these things which are knowne to be agreeing to our Fayth Not that Hieremias as some suppose saw or read the Translation of the Seauentie For Plato was borne almost an hundred yeares from the time that Jeremie prophecied Who seeing that he liued fourescore yeares and one from the yeare of his death to the translation of the seauentie Interpreaters are found threescore yeares Wherefore Ieremie could neither see nor read the Translation of the holy Scriptures seeing hee was dead so long before they were translated into the Greeke tongue But because he was a man of a very sharpe witte as the Aegiptians are hee so did learne the foresayd holy Scriptures by an Interpreater as those thinges in Timaeo which hee there wrote of the trueth of our Religion doe witnesse Out of Aegipt they say that Plato came into Italie and there learned all the doctrine of Pythagoras But of the Immortalitie of mens Soules hee did not onely perceiue and know the same that Pythagoras did but also brought and added thereunto reasons which they afore him in a maner did not Whose Booke of the Immortalitie of the Soule a worke most elegant Cato the later before hee flew himselfe did twise read ouer as Plutarch reporteth which when hee had read he so departed this life that he reioyced that he was borne to the end to die so great surely was the force and power of this Booke to perswade the Immortalitie of mens mindes that Therebrotus a certaine man of Ambrochia when no aduersitie would befall him to end his life he got him vp vpon a very high Wall and cast himselfe into the Sea after that he had read the foresayd Booke of Plato of whom Saint Augustine in his first Booke De ciuitate Dej and the 22. chapter writeth thus Therebrotus libro Platonis vbi de immortalitate animae disputauit se praecipitem dedit e muro vt sic ab ista vita migraret ad eandem quam credidit mehorem 1. Therebrotus when he had read ouer the Booke of Plato where he hath disputed of the Immortalitie of the Soule cast himselfe downe headlong from a Wall that so he might flit away from this life vnto that same which he beleeued to be better The third Conclusion BY vndoubted Fayth and Beliefe it is to be holden that the Soule of euery man is Immortall And

Goe to sayth the sicke man all sorrowfull I shall now prooue whether of you doth thinke more rightly But Theologie doth discreetly affirme both that the Soule is Immortall and also that it shall at length returne into the tabernacle of the Body doth name the very place also wherein the Soule shall remaine be kept vntill the last Iudgement That the Soule doth not die is thus prooued by the holy Scriptures 1 BEcause it is a Spirit which cannot die Gen. 2. Math. 10. Doe not feare those that can kill the Body but cannot kill the Soule Gen. 2. Hee breathed into him the breath of life 2 Because God is the God of the liuing God is the God of Abraham Therefore Abraham liueth although his body be dead Mat. 22. 3 From Examples Moses and Elias talked with Christ in Mount Thabor Luk. 9. although Moses was dead a thousand and fiue hundred yeares before Ergo they liue 4 From the testimonie of Christ Ion. 11. Hee that beleeueth in me he shall not die for euer Therefore the Soule is not extinguished but liueth alwayes 5 There is also a firme Argument from the Cause vnto the Effect or from the nature of Relatiues Christ is risen and liueth Christ is our Author and Head Therefore we also shall rise againe And the Soule at length coupled with the Body shall liue for euer For what is of force in Christ the same must needes also auaile in his members 1. Cor. 15. Now that the Body being renewed shall of vs be recciued againe in the resurrection of the dead the testimonie of Job in the 19 chap. teacheth plainely I know that my Redeemer liueth and that I shall rise againe out of the Earth in the last day and shall see God in my flesh The Place or Seate into the which the Soule doth flitte being loosed from the fetters of the Body and resteth in the same is called Paradise Luk. 23. The bosome of Abraham Luk. 16. The hand of God Sap. 3. Scheol 1. Hell Gen. 43. The Immortalitie of the Soule prooued by manifest places of the holy Scriptures 1. Numbers 23.10 I Pray God I may die the death of the Righteous and let my last end be like his 2. Psal 84.1 2 4 10. 1. O how amiable are thy Tabernacles o Lord of Hostes 2. My Soule longeth yea and fainteth for the Courtes of the Lord for my heart and my flesh reioyce in the liuing God 4. Blessed are they that dwell in thy House they will euer praise thee Selah 10. One day in thy Courtes is better then a thousand other where I had rather be a Dore-keeper in the house of my God then to dwell in the Tabernacles of Wickednesse 3. Ejay 51.6.11 6. Lift vp your eyes to the Heauens and looke vpon the Earth beneath for the Heauens shall vanish away like smoake and the Earth shall waxe old like a garment and they that dwel therein shall perish in like maner but my saluation shal be for euer and my righteousnesse shall not be abolished 11 The redeemed of the Lord shall returne and come with ioy vnto Zion and euerlasting ioy shal be vpon their head they shall obtaine ioy and gladnesse and sorrow and mourning shal be away 4. Esaj 32.18 My people shall dwell in peace and in sure dwellinges in safe resting places in assurance for euer 5. Esaj 49.10 They shall not be hungry neither shall they be thirstie neither shall the heate smite them nor the Sunne for he that hath compassion on them shall lead them euen to the springes of waters shall he driue them 6. Esaj 65.17.18 17 Loe I will create new Heauens and a new Earth and the former shall not be remembred nor come into minde 18 But be you glad and reioyce for euer in the thinges that I shall create 7. Dan. 12 1.2.3 And at that time shall Michael stand vp the great Prince which standeth for the children of thy people and there shall be a time of trouble such as neuer was since the time that there began to be a Nation vntill the same time And at that time thy people shall be deliuered euery one that shall be found written in the Booke 2 And many of them that sleepe in the dust of the Earth shall awake some to euerlasting life and some to shame and perpetuall contempt 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightnesse of the Firmament and they that turne many to righteousnesse shall shine as the Starres for euer euer 8. 2. Esaras 2.35.36.37 Be readie to the reward of the Kingdome for the euerlasting light shall shine vpon you for euermore 36 Flee the shadow of this world receiue the ioy of your glorie I testifie my Sauiour openly 37 Receiue the gift that is giuen you and be glad giuing thankes vnto him that hath called you to the Heauenly kingdome 9. Sap. 3. The Soules of the righteous are in the hand of God and the paine of death shall not touch them In the sight of the vnwise they appeare to die c. Yet is their hope full of Immortalitie c. 10. Sap. 5. The Faythfull are counted among the Children of God and their portion is among the Saintes The Righteous shall liue for euermore their reward also is with the Lord and their remembraunce with the highest Therefore shall they receiue a glorious Kingdome a beautifull Crowne of the Lords hand 11.
