_Mercury_, ☿
and _Venus_, ♀
about the Sun,
the one in a hundred and fifteen,
the other in 585 days.
_Mercurius_, ☿
& _Venus_, ♀
circa Solem,
illa CXV.,
hæc DLXXXV. Diebus.

_Mars_, ♂ in two years;
_Mars_, ♂ Biennio;

_Jupiter_, ♃
in almost twelve;
_Jupiter_, ♃
ferè duodecim;

_Saturn_, ♄
in thirty years.
_Saturnus_, ♄
triginta annis.

Hereupon they meet
variously among themselves,
and have mutual Aspects
one towards another.
Hinc conveniunt
variè inter se
& se mutuo adspiciunt.

As here the ☉ and ☿ are
in _Conjunction_.
☉ and _Moon_
in _Opposition_,
Ut hic sunt, ☉ & ☿
in _Conjunctione_,

CV.

The Apparitions of the Moon.
Phases Lunæ.

The _Moon_ shineth
not by her own _Light_
but that which is borrowed
of the _Sun_.
_Luna_, lucet
non sua propria _Luce_,
sed mutuatâ
a _Sole_.

For the one half of it
is always enlightned,
the other remaineth darkish.
Nam altera ejus medietas
semper illuminatur,
altera manet caliginosa.

Hereupon we see it in
_Conjunction_ with the _Sun_, 1.
to be obscure,
almost none at all;
Hinc videmus, in
_Conjunctione Solis_, 1.
obscuram, imo nullam:
in _Opposition_, 5.
whole and clear,
(and we call it
the _Full Moon_;)
in _Oppositione_, 5.
totam & lucidam,
(& vocamus
_Plenilunium_;)
sometimes in the half,
(and we call it the _Prime_, 3.
and _last Quarter_, 7.)
alias dimidiam,
(& dicimus _Primam_, 3.
& _ultimam Quadram_, 7.)

Otherwise it waxeth, 2....4.
or waneth, 6....8.
and is said to be _horned_,
or more than half _round_.
Cæteroqui crescit, 2....4.
aut decrescit, 6....8.
& vocatur _falcata_,
vel _gibbosa_.

CVI.

The Eclipses.
Eclipses.

The _Sun_
is the fountain of light,
inlightning all things,
_Sol_
est fons Lucis,
illuminans omnia;
but the _Earth_, 1.
and the _Moon_, 2.
being shady bodies,
are not pierced with its rays,
for they cast a shadow
upon the place
just over against them.
sed _Terra_, 1.
& _Luna_, 2.
Corpora opaca,
non penetrantur ejus radiis,
nam jaciunt umbram
in locum oppositum.

Therefore,
when the Moon lighteth
into the shadow
of the _Earth_, 2.
Ideo
cum Luna incidit
in umbram
_Terræ_, 2.
it is darkened,
which we call an _Eclipse_,
or defect.
obscuratur
quod vocamus _Eclipsin_
(deliquium) Lunæ.

But when the _Moon_
runneth betwixt the _Sun_
and the _Earth_, 3.
it covereth it with
its shadow;
Cum vero _Luna_
currit inter _Solem_
& _Terram_, 3.
obtegit illum umbrâ suâ;
and this we call
the _Eclipse_ of the _Sun_,
because it taketh from us
the sight of the _Sun_,
and its light;
& hoc vocamus
_Eclipsin Solis_,
quia adimit nobis
prospectum _Solis_,
& lucem ejus;
neither doth the _Sun_
for all that suffer any thing,
but the _Earth_.
nec tamen _Sol_
patitur aliquid,
sed _Terra_.

CVII. _a_

The terrestial Sphere.
Sphera terrestris.

The _Earth_ is round, and
therefore to be represented
by two _Hemispheres_, a..b.
_Terra_ est rotunda,
fingenda igitur
duobus _Hemispheriis_, a..b.

The Circuit of it
is 360 _degrees_
(whereof every one maketh
60 _English_ Miles
or 21600 Miles,)
Ambitus ejus
est _graduum_ CCCLX.
(quorum quisque facit
LX. Milliaria _Anglica_
vel 21600 Milliarium)
and yet it is but a prick,
compared with the World,
whereof it is the _Centre_.
& tamen est punctum,
collata cum orbe,
cujus _Centrum_ est.

They measure Longitude
of it by _Climates_, 1.
and the _Latitude_
by _Parallels_, 2.
Longitudinem ejus
dimetiuntur _Climatibus_, 1.
_Latitudinem_,
lineis _Parallelis_, 2.

The _Ocean_, 3.
compasseth it about,
and five _Seas_ wash it,
_Oceanus_, 3.
ambit eam
& _Maria_ V. perfundunt
the _Mediterranean Sea_, 4.
the _Baltick Sea_, 5. the _Red Sea_, 6.
the _Persian Sea_, 7.

_Balticum_, 5. _Erythræum_, 6.

CVII. _b_

The terrestial Sphere.
Sphera terrestris.

It is divided into V. _Zones_,
whereof the II. _frigid ones_,
9....9.
are uninhabitable;
Distribuitur in _Zonas_ V.,
quarum duæ _frigidæ_,
9....9.
sunt inhabitabiles;
the II. _Temperate_ ones, 10....10.
and the _Torrid_ one, 11.
habitable.
duæ _Temperatæ_, 10....10.
& _Torrida_, 11.
habitantur.

Besides it is divided
into three _Continents_;
Ceterum divisa est
in tres _Continentes;_
this of ours, 12. which
is subdivided into _Europe_, 13.
_Asia,_ 14. _Africa_, 15.
nostram, 12. quæ
subdividitur in _Europam_, 13.
_Asiam_, 14. & _Africam_, 15.
_America_, 16....16.
(whose Inhabitants are
_Antipodes_ to us;)
and the _South Land_, 17....17.
yet unknown.
in _Americam_, 16....16.
(cujus incolæ sunt
_Antipodes_ nobis;)
& in _Terram Australem_, 17....17.
adhuc incognitam.

They that dwell
under the _North pole_, 18.
have the days and nights
6 months long.
Habitantes
sub _Arcto_, 18.
habent Dies Noctes
semestrales,

Infinite _Islands_
float in the Seas.
Infinitæ _Insulæ_
natant in maribus.

CIX.

Moral Philosophy.
Ethica.

This _Life_ is a _way_,
or a _place divided into two ways_,
like
_Pythagoras’s Letter_ Y.
_Vita_ hæc est _via_,
sive _Bivium_,
simile
Litteræ _Pithagoricæ_ Y.
broad, 1.
on the left hand track;
narrow, 2. on the right;
latum, 1.
sinistro tramite
angustum, 2. dextro;
that belongs to _Vice_, 3.
this to _Vertue_, 4.
ille _Vitii_, 3.
est his _Virtutis_, 4.

Mind, Young Man, 5.
imitate _Hercules_:
leave the left hand way,
turn from Vice;
Adverte juvenis, 5.
imitare _Herculem_;
linque sinistram,
aversare Vitium;
the _Entrance_, 6. is fair,
but the _End_, 7.
is ugly and steep down.
_Aditus_ speciosus, 6.
sed _Exitus_, 7.
turpis & præceps.

Go on the right hand,
though it be thorny, 8.
no way is unpassible
to vertue; follow whither
vertue leadeth
Dextera ingredere,
utut spinosa, 8.
nulla via invia
virtuti; sequere quâ
viâ ducit virtus
through _narrow places_
to _stately palaces_,
to the _Tower of honour_, 9.
per _angusta_,
ad _augusta_,
ad _Arcem honoris_, 9.

Keep the middle
and streight _path_,
and thou shalt go very safe.
Tene medium
& rectum _tramitem_;
ibis tutissimus.

Take heed thou do not go
too much on the right hand, 10.
Cave excedas
ad dextram, 10.

Bridle in, 12.
the wild Horse, 11. of Affection,
lest thou fall down headlong.
Compesce freno, 12.
equum ferocem, 11. Affectûs
ne præceps fias.

See thou dost not
go amiss on the left hand, 13.
in an ass-like sluggishness, 14.
Cave
deficias ad sinistram, 13.
segnitie asininâ, 14.
but go onwards constantly,
persevere to the end,
and thou shalt be crown’d, 15.
sed progredere constanter
pertende ad finem,
& coronaberis, 15.

CX.

Prudence.
Prudentia.

_Prudence_, 1.
looketh upon all things
as a _Serpent_, 2.
and doeth, speaketh, or
thinketh nothing in vain.
_Prudentia_, 1.
circumspectat omnia
ut _Serpens_, 2.
agitque, loquitur, aut
cogitat nihil incassum.

She _looks backwards_, 3.
as into a _Looking-glass_, 4.
to _things past_;
_Respicit_, 3.
tanquam in _Speculum_, 4.
ad _præterita_;
and seeth _before her_, 5.
as with a _Perspective-glass_, 7.
_things to come_,
or the _End_, 6.
& _prospicit_, 5.
tanquam _Telescopio_, 7.
_Futura_,
seu _Finem_, 6.
and so she perceiveth
what she hath done, and
what remaineth to be done.
atque ita perspicit
quid egerit, &
quid restet agendum.

She proposeth
an _Honest_, _Profitable_
Actionibus suis
præfigit _Scopum_,
_Honestum_, _Utilem_,
and withal, if it may be done,
a _Pleasant End_,
to her Actions.
simulque, si fieri potest,
_Jucundum_.

Having foreseen the _End_,
she looketh out _Means_,
as a _Way_, 8.
which leadeth to the End;
_Fine_ prospecto,
dispicit _Media_,
ceu _Viam_, 8.
quæ ducit ad finem,
but such as are certain
and easie, and fewer
rather than more,
lest anything should hinder.
sed certa
& facilia; pauciora
potiùs quàm plura,
ne quid impediat.

She watcheth _Opportunity_, 9.
(which having
a _bushy fore-head_, 10.
and being _bald-pated_, 11.
Attendit _Occasioni_, 9.
(quæ
_Fronte Capillata_, 10.
sed vertice _calva_, 11.
and moreover
_having wings_, 12.
doth quickly slip away,)
and catcheth it.
adhæc
_alata_, 12.
facile elabitur)
eamque captat.

She goeth on her way
warily,
for fear she should stumble
or go amiss.
In viâ pergit
cautè (providè)
ne impingat
aut aberret.

CXI.

Diligence.
Sedulitas.

_Diligence_, 1. loveth labours,
avoideth _Sloth_,
is always at work,
like the _Pismire_, 2.
_Sedulitas_, 1. amat labores,
fugit _Ignaviam_,
semper est in _opere_,
ut _Formica_, 2.
and carrieth together,
as she doth, for herself,
_Store_ of all things, 3.
& comportat,
ut illa, sibi,
omnium rerum _Copiam_, 3.

She doth not always
sleep, or make holidays,
as the _Sluggard_, 4.
and the _Grashopper_, 5. do,
whom _Want_, 6.
at the last overtaketh.
Non semper
dormit, ferias agit,
aut ut _Ignavus_, 4.
& _Cicada_, 5.
quos _Inopia_, 6.
tandem premit.

She pursueth what things she hath undertaken
chearfully,
even to the end;
she putteth nothing off
till the morrow,
Urget incepta
alacriter
ad finem usque;
procrastinat nihil,
nor doth she sing
the _Crow’s_ song, 7.
which saith over and over,
_Cras, Cras_.
nec cantat
cantilenam _Corvi_, 7.
qui ingeminat
_Cras, Cras_.

After _labours_
_undergone_, and ended,
being even wearied,
she resteth her self;
Post _labores_
_exantlatos_,
& lassata,
quiescit;
but being refreshed with _Rest_,
that she may not use her self
to _Idleness_, she falleth again
to her _Business_,
sed recreata _Quiete_,
ne adsuescat
_Otio_, redit
ad _Negotia_.

A diligent _Scholar_
is like _Bees_, 8.
which carry honey
from divers _Flowers_, 9.
into their _Hive_, 10.
Diligens _Discipulus_,
similis est _Apibus_, 8.
qui congerunt mel
ex variis _Floribus_, 9.
in _Alveare_ suum, 10.

CXII.

Temperance.
Temperantia.

_Temperance_, 1.
prescribeth a mean
to _meat_ and _drink_, 2.
_Temperantia_, 1.
præscribit _modum_
_Cibo_ & _Potui_, 2.
and restraineth the _desire_,
as with a _Bridle_, 3.
and so moderateth all things,
lest any thing
too much be done.
& continet _cupidinem_,
ceu _Freno_, 3.
& sic moderatur omnia
ne quid
nimis fiat.

_Revellers_
are made _drunk_, 4.
they _stumble_, 5.
they _spue_, 6.
and _babble_, 7.
_Heluones_ (ganeones)
_inebriantur_, 4.
_titubant_, 5.
_ructant_ (vomunt), 6.
& _rixantur_, 7.

From _Drunkenness_
proceedeth _Lasciviousness_;
E _Crapula_
oritur _Lascivia_;
from this a _lewd Life_
amongst _Whoremasters_, 8.
and _Whores_, 9.
ex hâc _Vita libidinosa_
inter _Fornicatores_, 8.
& _Scorta_, 9.
in _kissing_,
_touching_,
_embracing_,
and _dancing_, 10.
_osculando_ (basiando),
_palpando_,
_amplexando_,
& _tripudiando_, 10.

CXIII.

Fortitude.
Fortitudo.

_Fortitude_, 1.
is undaunted in adversity,
and bold as a _Lion_, 2. but
not haughty in Prosperity,
_Fortitudo_, 1.
impavida est in adversis,
& confidens ut _Leo_, 2. at
non tumida in Secundis,
leaning on her own _Pillar_, 3.
_Constancy_, and
being the same in all things,
ready to undergo both
_estates_ with an even mind.
innixa suo _Columini_, 3.
_Constantiæ_; &
eadem in omnibus,
parata ad ferendam utramque
_fortunam_ æquo animo.

She receiveth the strokes
of _Misfortune_
with the _Shield_, 4.
of _Sufferance_: and
keepeth off the _Passions_,
Excipit ictus
_Infortunii_
_Clypeo_, 4.
_Tolerantiæ_: &
propellit _Affectus_,
the enemies of quietness
with the _Sword_, 5.
of _Valour_.
hostes Euthymiæ
_gladio_, 5.
_Virtutis_.

CXIV.

Patience.
Patientia.

_Patience_, 1.
endureth _Calamities_, 2.
and _Wrongs_, 3. meekly
like a _Lamb_, 4.
as the Fatherly
_chastisement of God_, 5.
_Patientia_, 1.
tolerat _Calamitates_, 2.
& _Injurias_, 3. humiliter
ut _Agnus_, 4.
tanquam paternam
_ferulam Dei_, 5.

In the meanwhile she leaneth
upon the _Anchor of Hope_, 6.
(as a _Ship_, 7.
tossed by waves in the Sea)
Interim innititur
_Spei Anchoræ_, 6.
(ut _Navis_, 7.
fluctuans mari)
_she prayeth to God_, 8.
weeping,
and expecteth the _Sun_, 10.
after _cloudy weather_, 9.
suffering evils,
and hoping better things.
_Deo supplicat_, 8.
illacrymando,
& expectat _Phœbum_, 10.
post _Nubila_, 9.
ferens mala,
sperans meliora.

On the contrary,
the _impatient person_, 11.
waileth, lamenteth,
_rageth against himself_, 12.
Contra,
_Impatiens_, 11.
plorat, lamentatur,
_debacchatur_, 12. _in seipsum_,
grumbleth like a _Dog_, 13.
and yet doth no good;
at the last he despaireth,
and becometh
_his own Murtherer_, 14.
obmurmurat ut _Canis_, 13.
& tamen nil proficit;
tandem desperat,
& fit
_Autochir_, 14.

Being full of rage he desireth
to revenge wrongs.
Furibundus cupit
vindicare injurias.

CXV.

Humanity.
Humanitas.

_Men_ are made
for one another’s _good_;
therefore let them be _kind_.
_Homines_ facti sunt
ad mutua _commoda_;
ergò sint _humani_.

Be thou sweet and lovely
in thy _Countenance_, 1.
gentle and civil
in thy _Behaviour_ and _Manners_, 2.
Sis suavis & amabilis
_Vultu_, 1.
comis & urbanus
_Gestu_ ac _Moribus_, 2.
affable and true spoken
with thy _Mouth_, 3.
affectionate and _candid_
in thy _Heart_, 4.
affabilis & verax,
_Ore_, 3.
candens & _candidus_
_Corde_, 4.

So love,
and so shalt thou be loved;
and there will be
a mutual _Friendship_, 5.
Sic ama,
sic amaberis;
& fiat
mutua _Amicitia_, 5.
as that of _Turtle-doves_, 6.
hearty, gentle, and
wishing well on both parts.
ceu _Turturum_, 6.
concors, mansueta, &
benevola utrinque.

Froward Men are
hateful, teasty, unpleasant.
contentious, _angry_, 7.
_cruel_, 8.
and implacable,
Morosi homines, sunt
odiosi, torvi, illepidi.
contentiosi, _iracundi_, 7.
_crudeles_, 8.
ac implacabiles,
(rather Wolves and Lions,
than Men)
and such as fall out among themselves,
hereupon
they fight in a _Duel_, 9.
(magis Lupi & Leones,
quàm homines)
& inter se discordes,
hinc
confligunt _Duelle_, 9.

_Envy_, 10.
wishing ill to others,
pineth away her self.
_Invidia_, 10.
malè cupiendo aliis,
conficit seipsam.

CXVI.

Justice.
Justitia.

_Justice_, 1.
is painted, sitting
on a _square stone_, 2. for
she ought to be immoveable;
_Justitia_, 1.
pingitur, sedens
in _lapide quadrato_, 2. nam
decet esse immobilis;
with _hood-winked eyes_, 3.
that she may not respect
persons;
_stopping the left ear_, 4.
to be reserved
for the other party;
_obvelatis oculis_, 3.
ad non respiciendum
personas;
_claudens aurem sinistram_, 4.
reservandam
alteri parti;

Holding in her right Hand
a _Sword_, 5.
and a _Bridle_, 6.
to punish
and restrain evil men;
Tenens dextrâ
_Gladium_, 5.
& _Frænum_, 6.
ad puniendum
& coërcendum malos;

Besides,
_a pair of Balances_, 7.
in the _right Scale_, 8. whereof
_Deserts_,
and in the _left_, 9.
_Rewards_ being put,
Præterea,
_Stateram_, 7.
cujus _dextræ Lanci_, 8.
_Merita_,
_Sinistræ_, 9.
_Præmia_ imposita,
are made even one with another,
and so good Men
are incited to virtue,
as it were with _Spurs_, 10.
sibi invicem exequantur,
atque ita boni
incitantur ad virtutem,
ceu _Calcaribus_, 10.

In _Bargains_, 11.
let Men deal candidly,
let them stand to their
_Covenants_ and _Promises_;
In _Contractibus_, 11.
candidè agatur:
stetur
_Pactis_ & _Promissis_;
let _that which is given one to keep_,
and _that which is lent_,
be restored:
_Depositum_,
& _Mutuum_,
reddantur:
let no man be _pillaged_, 12.
or _hurt_, 13.
let every one have his own:
these are the precepts
of Justice.
nemo _expiletur_, 12.
aut _lædatur_, 13.
suum cuique tribuatur:
hæc sunt præcepta
Justitiæ.

Such things as these are forbidden
in _God’s 5th._ and _7th._
_Cammandment_,
and deservedly punish’d
on the _Gallows_ and the _Wheel_, 14.
Talia prohibentur,
_quinto_ & _septimo Dei_
_Præcepto_,
& merito puniuntur
_Cruce_ ac _Rotâ_, 14.

CXVII.

Liberality.
Liberalitas.

_Liberality_, 1.
keepeth a mean about _Riches_,
which she honestly seeketh,
that she may have
somewhat to bestow
on them that _want_, 2.
_Liberalitas_, 1.
servat modum circa _Divitias_,
quas honestè quærit
ut habeat
quod largiatur
_Egenis_, 2.

She _cloatheth_, 3.
_nourisheth_, 4.
and _enricheth_, 5. these
with a _chearful countenance_, 6.
and a _winged hand_, 7.
Hos _vestit_, 3.
_nutrit_, 4.
_ditat_, 5.
_Vultu hilari_, 6.
& _Manu alatâ_, 7.

She submitteth her
_wealth_, 8. to her self,
not her self to it,
Subjicit
_opes_, 8. sibi,
non se illis,
as the _covetous man_, 9. doth,
who hath,
that he may have,
and is not the _Owner_,
but the _Keeper_ of his goods,
ut _Avarus_, 9.
qui habet,
ut habeat,
& non est _Possessor_
sed _Custos_ bonorum suorum,
and being unsatiable,
always _scrapeth together_, 10.
with his Nails.
& insatiabilis,
semper _corradit_, 10.
Unguibus suis.

Moreover he spareth
and keepeth,
_hoarding up_, 11.
that he may always have.
Sed & parcit
& adservat,
_occludendo_, 11.
ut semper habeat.

But the _Prodigal_, 12.
badly spendeth
things well gotten,
and at the last wanteth.
At _Prodigus_, 12.
malè disperdit
benè parta,
ac tandem eget.

CXVIII.

Society betwixt Man and Wife.
Societas Conjugalis.

_Marriage_
was appointed by God
in Paradise,
for mutual _help_,
and the _Propagation_
of mankind.
_Matrimonium_
institutum est à Deo
in Paradiso,
ad mutuum _adjutorium_,
& _propagationem_
generis humani.

_A young man_ (_a single man_)
being to be married,
should be furnished
either with _Wealth_,
or a _Trade_ and _Science_,
_Vir Juvenis_ (_Cœlebs_)
conjugium initurus,
instructus sit
aut _Opibus_,
aut _Arte_ & _Scientiâ_,
which may serve
for getting a living;
that he may be able
to maintain a _Family_.
quæ sit
de pane lucrando;
ut possit
sustentare _Familiam_.

Then he chooseth himself
a _Maid_ that is _Marriageable_,

præ se ferentibus Divinitatem,
nec agnitus,
nec acceptus a _Judæis_,
