so by the other we might magnifie his goodnesse towards man on whom he hath bestowed Fruit for Meat and Leaves for Medicine SECT III. CHAP. XI HAving hitherto handled that part of our distribution which comprehendeth things Vegetable proceed we now to the other Things Sensitive concerning things senstive which are all sorts of Animals or Creatures indued with senses The senses as likewise the sensitive soul are things in themselves not visible and therefore estranged from the Heralds uses but because they reside in Bodies of differing parts and qualities from any other before mentioned therefore in handling of these sensitive Creatures I hold it requisite to begin with their parts for of them the whole is raised and these are either the parts contained or containing or sustaining But sithence we are now to speak of things Sensitive and amongst them first of Terrestial Animals and their parts it shall not be impertinent to produce some few causes amongst many why these Terrestial Animals and Man were created in one day viz. the sixth day First because God had appointed the Earth to be the joynt habitation of Man and Beast together Secondly in respect of the near resemblance both of bodily parts and naturall properties that these Terrestrials have of Man in respect either of Fowles or of Fishes Lastly for that very many of them were to serve for mans ease and necessary use as Oxen to till the ground Horses for his ease in travell Dogs to be watchfull keepers of his House and others for other his necessary and domesticall uses There is no Animal but hath at the least these parts viz. Head wherewithall to receive food and wherein their senses have their residence a Belly to receive and concoct his meat intrals whereby to eject the supperfluities or excrements of aliment members also serving for the use and exercise of the Senses and others ordained for motion from place to place for without these members he cannot receive food or nutriment neither feel nor move Therefore there is neither labouring beast or beast of savage kind domesticall reptiles or other that can be with these bodily parts By the name of Soul and Life wherewith all sorts of Animals are endued from God Moses teacheth us Natural bloud or supplementall Humour that there is no living Creature to be found that hath not either true and natural bloud or at the least some kind of hot humour that is to it instead of bloud Anima enim cujusque Animalis in sanguine est as Moses teacheth Leviticus 17. and in sundry other places And in the common received opinion of all men In humido calido consistit vita That which is spoken of divers kindes of Insecta that there is no bloud to be found in them it is to be understood to be meant of true perfect and naturall bloud but of necessitie they must have in stead thereof some kind of humour in them that hath the qualitie of bloud viz. that is both hot and moist as aforesaid else can they not live Concerning Animals in generall it is not to be doubted but that all sorts of them as well those of savage and ravenous kind as those of domisticall and labouring kind as also venemous Serpents of themselves and of their owne nature were themselves good and might be good to others and profitable for mans use forasmuch as it is said Et vidit Elohim quod bonum But in that they are now become noisome and painefull to man that is per Accidens for this is occasioned by the sinne and transgression of Man whereby all things became accursed for his sake The utilitie or benefit that commeth to Man by these Terrestriall Animals is twofold the one pertaining to the body the other to the Soule The corporall benefit that commeth to man by them who knoweth not For daily experience sheweth us how beneficiall the use of Horses Oxen Kine Calves Sheep and other sorts of Beast and Cattel of all sorts are for the service of Man whereof some serve us for food some for rayment some for carriage some for tillage and other for divers other uses Of this use of them Moses saith That God hath subjected all things to man Omnia subjecisti sub pedibus ejus c. And made him Ruler over the Fishes of the Sea the Fouls of the ayre and the Beasts of the Land whereby he giveth us to understand that all sorts of Animals were created for the divers uses of man and each one of them ordained to a severall end But their spirituall use is far more noble and excellent by how much the soule surpasseth the body in dignity and worthiness And their use consisteth not alone in this that by the consideration of them we are led to the knowledg of God and of his wisedome power and goodnesse for this use hath all things else that are created as appeareth Rom. 1. and elsewhere But also that in these Animals God hath proposed to us such notable examples of imitation in respect of vices to be eschewed that the sacred Scriptures excepted there is no morall precepts can better instruct us than these Animals do which are daily in our view and of which we have daily use amongst these we may produce some examples of Fishes and Foules but many more may we gather from Terrestriall Animals And to the end we should shunne the ignorance of things Psal 32. such especially as are celestiall David the kingly Prophet proposeth to us for examples the Horse and Mule saying Non eritis sicut Equus Mulus in quibus non est intellectus Like as naturall Philosophy consisteth in other things so doth it chiefely in the knowledg of Animals viz. in the understanding of their wisedome natures and properties which knowledge hath beene approved by God himselfe from the beginning and not onely approved but also ordained and given to Adam for Moses saith God brought these Animals unto Adam to the end that he should advisedly view and consider them To the end that Adam should give them names answerable to their shapes natures proportion and qualities And that the imposition of these names should not be casually or at adventure for God abhoreth all disorder and confusion but deliberately and according to reason So as every thing might be aptly distinguished from other by their particular names and according to their severall natures and dispositions And that for our benefit That we hearing their names and understanding their significations may be led to the understanding of their naturall properties for which Etymologie or true interpretation and derivation of words is very behovefull and of great use The Parts contained are Humours and Spirits whereof onely the first is used in Coat-armours wherein are represented sometimes Drops of bloud Humors and sometimes Tears which both are naturally Humors contained though in Armory they are supposed no longer to be contained but shed forth The Bearing of this Humour Bloud Bloud
