comitatur egestas Faedaque auaritiae complexae pectora matris Insomnes longo veniunt examine curae The two last children of Demogorgon were Aether and Dies the superirior region of the ayre and the brightnes of the day who of brother and sister became man and wife and begat Caelius or Caelus the heauen which name was first attributed to Vranius Father of Saturnus king of Creete This Vranius for his excellency was deemed rather caelestiall as his name importeth then any earthly creature representing that aethereall purity by his diuine wisedome and the caelestiall light and brightnes by his vertuous conuersation this is the historicall sence now for the Allegoricall conceipt it is most manifest for Caelus the heauen including and concluding euery thing is therefore called the sonne of Aether and Dies for that his nature is aethereall by reason of his most subtile and spirit all perspicuity and also bright and lightsome by the plentifull and abundant light of those so many radiant starres wherewith it is sweetly garnished And as Vranius himself for his vertue was called Caelus heauen soe Vesta his wife because she was a fruitefull and happy mother was called Terra the Earth Of these two Saturnus was born wholy addicted to husbandry and tilling of the earth and of nature slowe and heauy like the earth Allegorically thus Saturnus is Sonne to Caelus because he is the first Planete and nearest to the highest heauen He is also sonne to the earth as in most of his naturall proprieties resembling the earth First his color is pale and leaden like the earth Secondly as the earth of all other Elements is most grosse and beauy soe Saturne among other Planets is most slowe in finishing his reuolution as requiring full thirty yeares for the accomplishing of the same whereas Iupiter endeth his in twelue yeares Mars in two Sol Venus and Mercury in one and Luna the Moone in one moneth only Thirdly Saturne by his influence worketh such a constitution and temperature in mens bodies as is altogeather agreeable with the qualities of the earth to wette cold and dry making them in whom he is predominant sad melancholicall graue heauy pale giuen to husbandry building and such like exercises Whereupon he is figured as an olde man sad euil-fauoured musing badly cloathed with a sithe in his hand a fit instrument for his earthly practise He afordeth a reaching wit profound cogitations perfect knowledge sage and graue aduice constancy of minde and perseuerance by reason that the earthly nature of his mother is qualified and tempered with that of his caelestiall Father Lastly as of his Father he causeth perfection and excellency of minde so by his mother he is the author of deformity and destruction of the body His wife was called Ops his owne sister borne of the same Father and Mother Allegorically Opis signifieth help or assistance noting the ayde and furtherance of the earth herself towards the tilling of fyldes building of howses and founding of Cities Soe is she worthily both sister to Saturne as borne of Caelus whose influence is the best mainteyner both of husbandry and earthly habitations and also wife to Saturne for that as he is the agent soe herself is the patient in husbandry and fortification Saturne bereft his father Caelus of those instruments which are fit for generation Cronos that is Saturne is time time is the measurer of the worlds motion therfore as one world soe one time one Saturne and Caelus can get no more like him sith all is now spenâ— and consumed vpon him Saturne fearing the prediction of Oracles that his owne sonne should expell him out of his kingdome consulting with his brother Titan resolued to deuoure all the sonnes that his wife Opis should beare vnto him and for that intent commaunded her to shew him euery childe immediatly afâ—er the birth thereof She first brought foorth Iupiter and Iuno Iuno being a girle and therefore not to be deuoured was presented to her Father but Iupiter was preserued from his rage and fury by the noyse of Cymballs Taburs which soe possessed Saturne his eares that he heard not the yong infant Iupiter cry Saturne angrily and earnestly demaunding where he was his wife gaue him a Stone wrapped in a cloth insteede of the boy which stone for haste and rage he swallowed and afterwards vomited it vp againe euen as he did all such of his other sonnes whom he had deuoured The like policy she vsed in preseruing of Neptune making his father beleeue that it was noe childe but a yong colte whereof she was then deliuered which Saturne thinking to be true glutted the colt accordingly Next to these were Pluto and his sister Glauca borne but Glauca being only shewed to Saturne Pluto escaped aliue all the rest of his sonnes he first deuoured and presently vomyted as before is mencioned Allegorically Titan the Sunne and Saturne Tyme conspire together and resolue that all things in tyme borne shall also dye in time For as the deuouring continuance of outwearing time consumeth all things so the life-giuing influence of the quickning sonne is the chiefe cause of procreation whereupon it is vsually said that Sol homo generant hominem The sunne and man beget man His daughters he deuoured not for time consumeth indiuidua this thing and that thing but not the roote and ground of things figured by the femall sex Iuno the ayre with Iupiter the fire and Neptune and Pluto the water and earth are not deuoured for the foure elements continue still but the rest are still subiect to continuall corruption corruption I meane in part which is alwais a generation of some other particularitie not a totall or generall destruction which is the cause that time cannot digest and vtterly consume but is enforced to vomite and restore euen those very bodies which hee first deuoured according to that ould ground which giueth vs to learne that as nothing can be made of nothing so nothing can be made to be nothing Gigni è nihilo nihil in nihilum nil posse reuerti Homer calleth Iupiter 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for that be sucked Goates milke the reason is this a Goate is euer climing and getting vpward as Iupiter is noting the fierie and highest part of the ayre This ethereall and superior part of the ayre was thought of the Pythagoreans by reason of the wonderfull celeritie and quick dispatch of his motion and reuolution to cause a most sweete and melodious harmonie whereupon Iupiter was reported to be preserued by the tinkeling of Cymballs and sounding of taburs Iupiter is placed immediatly after Saturne in heauen as Iupiter King of Creete succeeded his father Saturne in his kingdome This Crâ—etish King Iupiter for his bountifull and liberall nature was called by the name of that most good and beneficiall planet Iupiter euen as his father for the causes rehearsed was named Saturnus Hee that hath in his natiuitie Saturne predominant ouer Iupiter is like to bee endued with no
