A05102	The third volume of the French academie contayning a notable description of the whole world, and of all the principall parts and contents thereof: as namely, of angels both good and euill: of the celestiall spheres, their order and number: of the fixed stars and planets; their light, motion, and influence: of the fower elements, and all things in them, or of them consisting: and first of firie, airie, and watrie meteors or impressions of comets, thunders, lightnings, raines, snow, haile, rainebowes, windes, dewes, frosts, earthquakes, &c. ingendered aboue, in, and vnder the middle or cloudie region of the aire. And likewise of fowles, fishes, beasts, serpents, trees with their fruits and gum; shrubs, herbes, spices, drugs, minerals, precious stones, and other particulars most worthie of all men to be knowen and considered. Written in French by that famous and learned gentleman Peter de la Primaudaye Esquier, Lord of the same place, and of Barree: and Englished by R. Dolman.; Academie françoise. Part 3.

equal_a can_v have_v equal_a ascension_n even_o in_o the_o right_a sphere_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o say_v twelve_o hour_n both_o of_o day_n and_o night_n shall_v be_v unequal_a one_o to_o

in_o the_o morning_n and_o two_o a_o clock_n after_o noon_n the_o sun_n have_v one_o selfsame_a altitude_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o in_o all_o sun_n dial_n be_v compose_v by_o help_n of_o the_o say_a hour_n as_o the_o old_a quadrant_n be_v the_o hower-space_n serve_v indifferent_o as_o well_o for_o before_o as_o after_o noon_n and_o because_o that_o the_o altitude_n of_o the_o sun_n

concern_v all_o essence_n first_o then_o will_v we_o propound_v this_o principle_n that_o among_o all_o creature_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n some_o be_v spiritual_a and_o the_o rest_n corporal_a by_o the_o spiritual_a we_o mean_v those_o that_o have_v no_o body_n and_o can_v be_v perceive_v by_o corporal_a sense_n as_o be_v angel_n or_o devil_n and_o the_o soul_n or_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o by_o the_o corporal_a we_o mean_v all_o other_o creature_n that_o be_v visible_a and_o sensible_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o body_n now_o of_o these_o some_o be_v without_o life_n nature_n division_n of_o all_o essence_n or_o nature_n and_o the_o rest_n live_v and_o among_o those_o which_o be_v without_o life_n there_o be_v a_o difference_n in_o two_o point_n one_o be_v in_o that_o some_o have_v natural_a motion_n and_o the_o rest_n have_v not_o and_o among_o those_o which_o have_v this_o motion_n some_o be_v mutable_a and_o corruptible_a and_o

grow_v and_o increase_v in_o the_o earth_n wherefore_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o be_v nourish_v in_o the_o earth_n like_v to_o plant_n yet_o we_o must_v note_v that_o to_o speak_v proper_o there_o be_v neither_o soul_n nor_o life_n attribute_v unto_o they_o life_n four_o kind_n of_o soul_n and_o life_n for_o according_a to_o the_o common_a rule_n of_o the_o learned_a there_o be_v but_o four_o kind_n of_o soul_n &_o of_o life_n except_o by_o abuse_n of_o the_o language_n this_o name_n life_n be_v take_v general_o for_o the_o estate_n of_o all_o creature_n but_o when_o it_o be_v take_v in_o his_o proper_a signification_n the_o soul_n and_o life_n be_v only_o attribute_v to_o four_o kind_n of_o creature_n beast_n a_o kind_n of_o creature_n of_o a_o middle_a nature_n between_o plant_n and_o beast_n that_o be_v to_o herb_n tree_n and_o plant_n a_o nourish_a or_o vegetative_a soul_n and_o life_n to_o *_o sensitive_a plant_n as_o sea-sponge_n oyster_n cockle_n etc._n etc._n a_o sensitive_a to_o perfect_a beast_n a_o soul_n and_o life_n cogitative_a or_o know_v and_o to_o man_n a_o intellectual_a or_o reasonable_a soul_n and_o life_n though_o therefore_o that_o stone_n and_o metal_n do_v increase_v and_o grow_v in_o the_o earth_n yet_o this_o be_v do_v by_o addition_n of_o matter_n which_o be_v convert_v into_o their_o nature_n rather_o than_o by_o any_o nouriture_n which_o they_o draw_v from_o the_o earth_n as_o plant_n do_v and_o therefore_o when_o we_o speak_v proper_o of_o life_n we_o must_v understand_v something_o more_o then_o that_o which_o we_o simple_o call_v being_n and_o yet_o one_o may_v sometime_o signify_v the_o estate_n or_o be_v of_o any_o thing_n by_o the_o name_n of_o life_n take_v the_o word_n general_o and_o not_o in_o his_o most_o proper_a signification_n for_o the_o be_v of_o every_o creature_n be_v like_o the_o life_n thereof_o insomuch_o as_o thereby_o it_o be_v conserve_v in_o his_o proper_a estate_n 1._o john_n 1._o and_o so_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o saint_n john_n mean_v say_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v by_o the_o eternal_a word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o without_o it_o nothing_o be_v make_v that_o be_v make_v and_o that_o in_o it_o be_v life_n for_o here_o the_o word_n life_n may_v be_v take_v for_o the_o be_v of_o all_o creature_n in_o this_o respect_n it_o may_v be_v permit_v we_o to_o say_v that_o all_o creature_n have_v life_n but_o not_o like_o any_o of_o those_o which_o be_v proper_o call_v live_v creature_n and_o each_o one_o according_a to_o the_o distinction_n by_o we_o before_o allege_v only_o understanding_n proper_a to_o man_n and_o angel_n only_o now_o let_v we_o speak_v of_o the_o natural_a understanding_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o all_o creature_n i_o know_v that_o to_o speak_v proper_o understanding_n and_o reason_n can_v be_v attribute_v but_o only_o to_o angel_n and_o man_n for_o though_o all_o creature_n observe_v their_o order_n and_o course_n in_o their_o natural_a motion_n yet_o do_v we_o not_o conclude_v that_o they_o do_v this_o by_o understanding_n and_o reason_n whereof_o they_o shall_v participate_v with_o man_n but_o rather_o by_o a_o natural_a inclination_n which_o god_n have_v bestow_v upon_o they_o to_o guide_v and_o direct_v they_o so_o yet_o it_o seem_v that_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o the_o celestial_a body_n concern_v which_o we_o now_o discourse_v and_o the_o other_o creature_n which_o be_v without_o life_n and_o understanding_n consider_v their_o well_o order_a motion_n and_o incorruptible_a nature_n as_o we_o have_v heretofore_o show_v for_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o many_o philosopher_n have_v teach_v body_n opinion_n of_o diverse_a touch_v the_o life_n and_o understanding_n of_o the_o celestial_a body_n that_o the_o heaven_n retain_v some_o kind_n of_o life_n and_o understanding_n brief_o that_o the_o world_n be_v a_o animal_n or_o live_a creature_n for_o the_o reason_n heretofore_o allege_v and_o therefore_o some_o have_v suppose_v that_o the_o celestial_a and_o luminary_n body_n do_v nourish_v and_o preserve_v themselves_o by_o the_o moistness_n and_o vapour_n which_o they_o attract_v and_o draw_v up_o by_o their_o heat_n out_o of_o the_o water_n and_o other_o element_n and_o for_o faculty_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n they_o also_o consider_v the_o same_o to_o be_v in_o they_o because_o that_o they_o have_v their_o course_n and_o motion_n so_o well_o order_v and_o comprehend_v one_o by_o another_o that_o therein_o can_v be_v find_v no_o fault_n disorder_n or_o confusion_n which_o so_o excellent_a order_n can_v not_o be_v keep_v nor_o maintain_v it_o seem_v among_o they_o without_o great_a reason_n understanding_n and_o wisdom_n yea_o more_o great_a than_o be_v see_v in_o all_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n together_o for_o although_o they_o be_v create_v partaker_n of_o these_o grace_n and_o gift_n yet_o so_o far_o be_v they_o from_o maintain_v such_o a_o order_n among_o they_o as_o do_v the_o celestial_a body_n that_o contrariwise_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o disorder_n and_o confusion_n in_o they_o and_o in_o all_o their_o action_n for_o these_o reason_n therefore_o sundry_a philosopher_n have_v conclude_v that_o as_o there_o be_v animal_n or_o live_a creature_n in_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o water_n and_o in_o the_o
