LONDON Printed by IOHN LEGATT . 1621.

TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE AND VERTVOVS , HIS SINGVLAR GOOD LADIE , THE LADIE IANE Vicountesse Mountague , all honour and happinesse .

BEing perswaded ( Right Noble Lady ) by some friends , for publike benefit to make this collection of words common , which at first was intended only for priuate vse , ( as written in my youth , at the request of a worthy Gentleman , one whose loue preuailed much with me ) I could not find in heart to send it forth , no better furnished than with a bare Title ; least like an vnknowne Infant , it should be exposed to ouer hard vsage , or peraduenture scornefully reiected , aduenturing abroad without countenance of any friend or commander . Vpon sure knowledge therefore of your most honourable disposition , and former experience of your Ladyships fauour toward me , I am emboldned to present this little Pamphlet vnto your honour , with hope that by your Patronage it shall not onely be protected from iniuries , but also finde fauourable entertainment , and perhaps gracefully admitted among greatest Ladies & studious Gentlewomen , to whose reading ( I am made beleeue ) it will not proue altogether vngratefull . And although I may well be taxed of folly or presumption , that for credit of a slender trislle , craue the assistance of so eminent a person , yet such ( I confesse ) is my care thereof ( since I must not deny it for my owne ) and my duty and deuotion so affected to your honour , and all yours ; that I haue , ( hoping of your Ladiships pardon ) wilfully repelled all reasons which might disswade me , choosing herein not so much what may seeme most seemely , as what I suppose most behoouefull for me .

Accept therefore I beseech your Honour , and receiue vnder your noble tuition this little vocabulary Treatise , which hauing beene many years restrained of liberty , is now glad of enlargement , especially recommended vnto so worthy a Patronesse . The glorious Sun loseth not the least point of his heighth by liberall lending downe his light , and quickning with his influence the lowest creatures ; neither is any eminency disgraced , that easily condescendeth to others desired good : which is also confirmed by the Poet , who saieth ; Conspicitur nunquam meliore potentia causa , Quàm quoties vanas non sinit esse preces .

Not thinking needfull therfore to trouble your Honour with many words of entreaty ( vpon assured confidence of your wel known Charity and goodnesse ) I conclude , sincerely wishing to your Ladiship , the best that may be wished , and resting my selfe euer .

Your Honours to be commanded , IO. BVLLOKAR .
To the Courteous Reader .

HEre haue you ( Gentle Reader ) that which at first was not made for you , though now willingly ( for your benefite if you embrace it ) offered to your kind acceptance . Commend it my selfe I will not , lest I should giue occasion to some quick heads , to come vpon me with the verse , Autor opus laudat , &c. Yet this I will say ( and say truely ) that in my yonger yeares it hath cost mee some obseruation , reading , study , and charge ; which you may easily beleeue , considering the great store of strange words , our speech doth borrow , not only from the Latine , and Greeke , ( and some from the ancient Hebrew ) but also from forraine vulgar Languages round about vs : beside sundry olde words now growne out of vse , and diuers termes of art , proper to the learned in Logicke , Philosophy , Law , Physicke , Astronomie , &c. yea , and Diuinitie it selfe , best knowen to the seuerall professors thereof . And herein I hope such learned will deeme no wrong offered to themselues or dishonour to Learning , in that I open the signification of such words , to the capacitie of the ignorant , whereby they may conceiue and vse them as well as those which haue bestowed long study in the languages ; for considering it is familiar among best writers to vsurpe strange words , ( and sometime necessary be reason ou● speech is not sufficiently furnished with apt termes to expresse all meanings ) I suppose withall their desire is that they should also be vnderstood ; which I ( knowing that bonum quò communius eo melius ) haue endeauoured by this Booke , though not exquisitely , yet ( I trust ) in some reasonable measure to performe . It is easier ( all know ) to find faults , then to mende them , and easier to mend faults in anothers worke already written , then to write any new worke free from all fault . If therefore any fault finder , or ouer curious Criticke ( for from the best learned I expect best vsage ) shall to shew his skill grow captious , and quarrell at my interpretations , I will desire him to forbeare bitternesse , and temper a while his choler , till hauing laide this worke aside , hee trauell himselfe in the same or some other new argument ; and then I doubt not but he will either become more indifferent , or giue others occasion to bid him English the olde Prouerbe , Medice cura teipsum . But as for you ( iudiciall or courteous Reader ) whose fauour I desire , and whose counsell or friendly correction I will not refuse , if to you ( I say ) any thing herein shall occurre , which seemeth by me omitted , mistaken , or not fully satisfactory to your expectation , ( for indeed there are almost slipt away seuen years since I had any leasure as much as to looke on it ) I promise that vpon warning hereof giuen to me or the Printer , at a second Impression it shall be amended or supplyed . Meanewhile vse this as you finde it , and I perswade my selfe your honesty will say it is worth the money you paide for it . So committing my selfe and Booke to your fauorable good liking , I commit you to God . From my house at Chicester in Sussex , this 17. day of October . 1616.

Your hearty well-willer , Io: Bullokar .
An Instruction to the Reader .

That which diuideth . Heauenly , belonging to God . Sometime to gesse or foretell a thing to come . A foretelling of a thing before it happeneth : which may ( as I take it ) bee diuided into three different kindes ; namely , supernaturall , natur●ll , and superstitious Diuination . Supernaturall Diuination ( onely reuealed to man by God , ) is not properly called Diuination , but prophecy , with which all the holy Prophets haue in former times beene inspired . Naturall Diuination may bee diuided into two branches ; whereof the first is , that which hath in former times been practised by wicked spirits in oracles and answers giuen by them in Idols , and is at this day sometime seene in possessed persons , who by suggestion of the diuell may foretell often things to come : and this is but a naturall Diuination : For although to vs it seeme miraculous , because of our ignorance in the causes and course of things , yet in those spirits , it is but naturall , who by their long experience , and great obseruation , besides the knowledge of secrets in nature , and their quicke intelligence from all places , are able to foresee much more then wee by nature can . The second branch of naturall Diuination , is that which a wise man may foretell by probable coniecture , beeing no way offensiue , so long as it is only guided by reason , and ouerruled by submitting it selfe to the almightie power of GOD. And to this second kinde of Diuination , may also Astrologie bee referred ( which by the motion and influence of Starres and Planets doth promise to foretell many things ) so long as it keepeth it selfe in due limits , and arrogateth not too much to the certainetie thereof : into which excesse of vanity if it should breake foorth , it can then bee no longer called naturall Diuination , but superstitious and wicked : for the Starres may incline but not impose a necessitie in particular things . The third and last manner of Diuination , is that which we called superstitious , whereof there hath among the Gentiles beene diuers different kinds , namely . Auguration , Aruspicie , Necromancie , Gromancie , Hydromancie , Pyromancie , Cossinomancie , Palmistrie or Chiromancie . was a diuination made of things to come , by the slying , feeding , & chirping of birds : the professors wherof called Augurs , were of great account among the heathen Romans , in so much that there was a Colledge of them in the citie ; neither would the Romans vndertake any publike matter of importance , without asking their assent . But the vanity hereof was well derided by a wise Iew , named Mossolamus ; as Iosephus writes . For an Augur in the wars once requiring , that the army which was then marching , might stand still a while , till he tooke obseruation of a bird thereby , to foreknow the successe of that expedition , this Iew whilst the Augur was busie in his art , shot at the Bird with an arrow , and by chance killed her : whereat the Augur and others being highly offended : Are you so foolish ( quoth the Iew ) to imagine , this poore Bird can tell what will happen to vs , that could not foresee her owne death so neere at hand ? Aruspicie , is a diuination , which by opening and viewing the bowels of beasts , did vndertake to foretell things to come : the professors whereof were called Aruspices . Necromancie , the worst of all others , is that diuination , which is practised by coniuration , and calling vp Diuels or dead mens ghosts . Which manner of diuination we reade practised by King Saul ( 1. Reg. cap. 28. ) when he required a Sorceresse to call vp the spirit of Samuell to him . Geomancie , is a kinde of diuination practised by making prickes and lines in the earth ; as the name in Greeke signifieth . So Hydromancie , is a diuination made by some apparition in water , as Varro writeth that a Boy saw inwater , one bearing the forme of Mercurie , who foretold in one hundred and fiftie verses , the euent of the warre which the Romans had with King Mithridates . Pyromancie is a diuination made by the fire , or spirits appearing in the fire . Coscinomancie is a ridiculous kinde of diuination made with a sieue ; which at this day is vsed by some simple women , and appeareth to bee of antiquitie , for in the third Idylle of Throcritus there is mention made hereof . Palmistrie or Chiromancie , is a diuination practised , by looking vpon the lines of the fingers and hands , an art still in vse , among fortune tellers , Egyptians , and iuglers . Besides these there were also other diuinations , as namely Aeromancie , that which is gathered by apparitions in the aire . Capnomancie , by the flying of smoake . Catoptromancie by visions shewne in a glasse . All which being euen by the Pagans themselues accounted deceitfull and vain● , it remaineth that of Christians they be vtterly reiected and abhorred . A separation of man and wife , which was ( as our Sauiour witnesseth ) first permitted by Moses vnto the Israelites , for the hardnesse of their hearts , that men might rather put their wiues away , whome they grew wearie of , then vse them with too great extremitie , to shorten their liues , as many did . The woman so diuorced was to haue of her husband , a writing ( as Iosephus witnesseth to this effect . I promise , that hereafter , I will lay no claime to thee : And this writing was called a bil of diuorce . But with Christians this custome is abrogated , sauing onely in case of adulterie . The auncient Romanes also had a custome of diuorce , and amongst them , it was as lawfull for the wiues to put away their husbands , as for the husband to dismisse his wife : but amongst the Israelites , this prerogatiue was onely permitted to the husband .

Betweene these two motions , are said to bee two stations ; namely when a Planet ceaseth going forward , and beginneth to be retrograde , or comming to the farthest point of his retrogradation , goeth forward againe : so that in the Epicycle , these Planets wheele about somtime according , sometime contrary to the order of the signes .
