THE
Amazement
OF
FUTURE
AGES
.
Of
Giants
,
their
Nature
,
Habits
,
Manners
,
Food
,
Cloathing
,
with
many
other
things
relating
to
them
,
&c.
AS
the
tallest
Ears
of
Corn
,
are
the
lightest
in
the
Head
;
and
Houses
built
many
stories
high
,
have
their
uppermost
rooms
the
worst
furnished
;
so
those
humane
Fabricks
,
which
Nature
hath
raised
to
a
Giant-like
height
,
are
observ'd
not
to
have
had
so
happy
a
composition
of
the
brain
as
other
men
;
so
that
like
Pyramids
of
Aegypt
,
they
are
rather
for
ostentation
than
use
,
and
are
remembred
in
History
not
for
any
accomplishment
of
mind
,
but
chiefly
,
if
not
only
for
the
stature
of
their
Bodies
.
There
have
been
some
Giants
twenty
eight
foot
long
,
they
usually
(
as
a
learned
Oracle
observes
)
have
no
Cloathing
but
Beasts
Skins
that
hang
on
them
,
and
they
usually
eat
no
Bread
,
but
raw
Flesh
;
they
drink
abundance
of
Milk
,
they
have
no
Houses
,
and
they
gladlier
eat
Mens
flesh
than
other
;
there
have
been
Giants
(
which
is
a
greater
wonder
yet
)
of
forty
five
,
or
fifty
foot
long
,
some
fifty
Cubits
long
,
as
the
same
Author
reports
.
1.
Artachaees
,
of
the
Family
of
the
Achaemenidae
,
a
person
in
great
favour
with
Xerxes
,
was
the
tallest
man
of
all
the
rest
of
the
Persians
,
for
he
lacked
but
the
breadth
of
four
fingers
of
full
five
Cubits
by
the
Royal
Standard
.
2.
There
was
a
young
Giant
,
whom
Julius
Scaliger
saw
at
Millain
,
who
was
so
tall
,
that
he
could
not
stand
but
lie
along
,
extending
his
Body
the
length
of
two
Beds
joyned
together
.
3.
Walter
Parsons
born
in
Stafford-shire
,
was
first
Apprentice
to
a
Smith
,
when
he
grew
so
tall
,
that
a
hole
was
made
for
him
in
the
ground
to
stand
therein
up
the
knees
,
so
to
make
him
adequate
with
his
fellow
workmen
;
he
afterwards
was
Porter
to
King
Jamts
;
seeing
as
Gates
generally
are
higher
than
the
rest
of
the
Building
,
so
it
was
sightly
that
the
Porter
should
be
taller
than
other
Persons
.
He
was
proportionable
in
all
parts
,
and
had
strength
equal
to
his
height
;
valour
to
his
strength
,
temper
to
his
valour
,
so
that
he
disdained
to
do
any
injury
to
any
single
person
;
he
would
make
nothing
to
take
two
of
the
tallest
Yeomen
of
the
Guard
(
like
the
Gizzard
and
Liver
)
under
his
Arms
at
once
,
and
order
them
as
he
pleased
.
4.
Williams
Evans
was
born
in
Monmouth-shire
,
and
may
justly
be
counted
the
Giant
of
our
Age
,
for
his
stature
being
full
two
yards
and
a
half
in
height
,
he
was
Porter
to
King
Charles
the
First
,
succeeding
Walter
Parsons
in
his
place
,
and
exceeding
him
two
inches
in
height
;
but
far
beneath
him
in
equal
proportion
of
Body
,
for
he
was
not
only
what
the
Latins
call
compernis
,
knocking
his
knees
together
,
and
going
out
squalling
wit●
his
feet
,
but
also
halted
a
little
;
ye●
made
he
a
shift
to
Dance
in
an
Antimask
at
Court
,
where
he
drew
littl●
Jeffery
the
Dwarf
out
of
his
Pocket●
first
to
the
wonder
,
then
to
the
laughte●
of
the
beholders
.
5.
The
tallest
man
that
hath
been
see●
in
our
age
,
was
one
named
Gabara
,
who
in
the
days
of
Claudius
the
late
Emperour
,
was
brought
out
of
Arabia
;
nine
foot
high
was
he
,
and
as
many
inches
.
6.
I
saw
a
young
Girle
in
France
,
of
eighteen
years
of
age
,
who
was
of
a
Giant
like
stature
and
bigness
;
and
though
she
descended
of
Parents
of
mean
and
small
stature
,
yet
was
her
hand
such
as
might
equal
the
hands
of
three
men
,
if
they
were
joyned
together
.
7.
Jovianus
the
Emperour
was
of
a
pleasant
Countenance
,
grey-ey'd
,
of
a
vast
and
huge
stature
;
so
that
for
a
long
time
,
there
was
no
Royal
Robe
that
was
found
to
answer
the
height
of
his
Body
.
8.
Maximinus
the
Emperour
was
eight
foot
and
a
half
in
height
;
he
was
a
Thracian
,
barbarous
,
cruel
and
hated
of
all
men
;
he
us'd
the
Bracelet
or
Armlet
of
his
Wife
,
as
a
Ring
for
his
Thumb
,
●nd
it
is
said
,
that
his
shooe
was
long●r
by
a
foot
,
than
the
foot
of
another
●an
.
9.
I
saw
a
young
man
of
Lunenburg
,
●all'd
Jacobus
Damman
,
who
for
his
ex●raordinary
stature
was
carry'd
throughout
Germany
to
be
seen
,
Anno
1613.
he
was
brought
to
us
at
Basil
;
he
was
then
●wenty
two
years
of
age
and
a
half
,
●eardless
as
yet
,
strong
of
Body
;
and
in
●l
his
Limbs
,
save
that
at
that
time
he
was
somewhat
sick
and
lean
;
he
was
eight
foot
high
compleat
;
the
length
of
his
hand
was
one
foot
and
a
third
,
he
surpass'd
the
common
stature
of
man
two
foot
.
10.
Anno
1572.
Martinus
Delrius
(
as
himself
tells
us
)
saw
a
Giant
,
the
height
of
whose
body
was
full
nine
foot
:
And
in
the
year
1600
(
saith
Zacchias
)
I
my self
saw
another
not
inferiour
to
the
former
in
stature
.
11.
I
saw
(
saith
Wierus
)
a
Maid
,
who
for
the
Gigantick
proportion
of
her
body
,
was
carry'd
from
one
City
and
Countrey
to
another
,
on
purpose
to
be
seen
,
as
a
monstrous
representation
of
humane
Figure
.
I
diligently
enquired
into
all
things
concerning
her
;
and
was
inform'd
both
by
the
Mother
and
her
mighty
Daug●ter
that
both
her
Parents
were
but
of
lo●
stature
,
nor
were
there
any
of
her
Anc●stors
,
who
were
remember'd
to
excee●
the
common
stature
of
men
:
This
Mai●
her self
,
to
the
twelfth
year
of
her
Age
was
of
a
short
and
mean
stature
;
bu●
being
about
that
time
seis'd
with
a
Qua●tane
Ague
,
after
she
had
wrestled
wit●
it
for
some
Months
,
it
perfectly
left
her
and
then
she
began
to
grow
to
that
wonderful
greatness
,
all
her
limbs
being
proportionably
answerable
to
the
rest
.
Sh●
was
then
when
I
beheld
her
about
fiv●
and
twenty
years
of
Age
,
to
which
time
it
had
never
been
with
her
as
is
usua●
to
Women
,
yet
was
she
in
good
Health
of
feature
not
handsome
,
her
Complexion
somewhat
swarthy
,
of
a
stupid
an●
simple
wit
,
and
slow
as
to
her
whole
Body
:
For
The
greater
Virtue
oftenest
lies
In
bodies
of
the
middle
size
.
12.
Ferdinand
Magellane
(
before
he
came
to
those
Straits
,
which
now
bear
his
name
)
came
to
the
Countrey
of
the
Patagons
,
which
are
Giants
;
some
of
these
he
enticed
to
come
a
Ship-board
:
they
were
of
an
huge
stature
;
so
that
the
Spaniards
heads
reached
but
to
their
waste
:
Two
of
them
he
made
his
Prisoners
by
Policy
;
who
thereupon
roared
like
Bulls
:
their
feeding
was
answerable
to
their
vast
bulks
,
for
one
of
them
did
eat
at
a
meal
,
a
whole
basket
of
Biskets
,
and
drank
a
great
bowl
of
water
at
each
draught
.
13.
As
I
travel'd
by
Dirnen
,
under
the
●urisdiction
of
Basil
,
Anno
1565.
I
was
shew'd
a
Girl
of
five
years
of
Age
,
who
was
playing
with
the
Children
;
she
was
of
as
vast
a
body
,
as
if
she
had
been
a
woman
of
many
years
of
age
:
After
I
had
looked
more
nearly
upon
her
and
measured
,
I
found
that
her
Thighs
were
thicker
than
the
neck
of
my
Horse
,
the
calf
of
her
Legs
bare
the
proportion
of
the
thigh
of
a
lusty
and
strong
man
.
Her
Father
and
Mother
being
set
together
,
might
be
compass'd
within
the
girdle
,
which
she
commonly
wore
about
her
middle
:
Her
Parents
told
me
,
that
before
she
was
a
year
old
,
she
weigh'd
as
much
as
a
sack
of
wheat
that
held
eight
modii
.
Anno
1566.
I
saw
her
again
,
for
Count
Henry
of
Fustenburgh
,
lodging
at
my
House
,
she
was
brought
to
him
,
and
ther●
both
of
us
admir'd
at
her
wonderful
bigness
,
but
in
a
few
years
after
she
dy'd
.
14.
That
is
a
memorable
Example
o●
a
Giant
,
reported
by
Thuanus
,
Anno
1575
where
discoursing
of
an
inroad
made
by
the
Tartarians
upon
the
Polonian
Territories
,
he
there
speaks
of
a
Tartar
o●
a
prodigious
bigness
,
slain
by
a
Polander
;
his
words
are
thus
translated
:
Amongst
whom
there
was
one
found
of
a
prodigious
bulk
,
slain
(
saith
Leonardus
Gorecius
)
by
James
Niazabilovius
;
his
●orehead
was
twenty
four
fingers
breadth
,
and
the
rest
of
his
Body
of
that
magnitude
,
that
the
Carcass
,
as
it
lay
upon
the
ground
,
would
reach
to
the
Navel
of
any
ordinary
person
that
stood
by
it
.
15.
There
were
in
the
time
of
Augustus
Caesar
two
Persons
,
called
Idusio
and
Secundilla
,
each
of
them
was
ten
foot
high
,
and
somewhat
more
;
their
bodies
after
their
death
were
kept
and
preserved
for
a
wonder
in
a
Charnel
house
or
Sepulcher
within
the
Salustian
Gardens
.
16.
In
the
58th
Olympiad
,
by
the
admonition
of
the
Oracle
,
the
Body
of
Orestes
was
found
at
Tegaea
by
the
Spartans
,
and
we
understand
that
the
just
length
of
it
was
seven
Cubits
.
17.
The
Son
of
Euthymenes
of
Salamina
,
in
the
space
of
three
years
,
grew
up
to
three
Cubits
in
height
;
but
he
was
slow
of
pace
,
dull
of
sense
,
a
strong
voice
,
and
an
overhasty
adolescency
;
soon
after
he
was
seiz'd
with
manifold
Diseases
,
and
by
immodeaate
afflictions
of
sickness
,
made
an
over
amends
for
the
precipitate
celerity
of
his
growth
.
18.
Anno
1584.
In
the
Month
of
July
being
at
Lucerne
,
I
was
there
shew'd
by
the
Senators
the
fragments
of
some
bones
of
a
prodigious
greatness
,
kept
in
the
Senate
House
:
They
were
found
in
the
Territories
,
not
far
from
the
Monastery
of
Reiden
,
in
a
Cave
of
the
adjoyning
Mountain
,
under
an
old
Oak
which
the
wind
had
blown
down
:
When
I
had
consider'd
them
,
and
perceiv'd
most
of
the
lesser
sort
,
and
such
as
are
thinnest
(
as
the
bones
of
the
Skull
)
to
be
wanting
,
whether
neglected
or
consumed
by
Age
,
I
know
not
:
I
then
turned
over
the
greater
sort
,
as
well
such
as
were
whole
,
as
the
remainders
of
such
as
were
broken
:
Though
they
were
wasted
,
spungy
and
light
,
(
yet
as
far
as
I
could
discern
)
I
observed
,
that
they
answered
to
the
Body
of
a
man
;
I
wrote
upon
each
of
them
what
they
were
,
and
I
the
rather
concluded
them
to
be
the
bones
of
some
Giant
,
because
I
found
amongst
them
the
lowest
bone
of
the
thumb
,
a
cheek-tooth
,
the
heel
bone
,
the
shoulder-blades
,
the
Cannel-bone
,
which
are
only
found
in
man
of
that
form
;
also
the
long
and
thick
bones
of
the
Thighs
,
Legs
,
Shoulders
and
Arms
,
(
the
utmost
ends
of
which
with
their
Heads
were
found
)
and
they
differed
in
nothing
from
the
bones
of
a
humane
Body
:
Having
afterwards
all
the
bones
sent
me
to
Basil
(
by
the
command
of
the
Magistrates
)
and
looking
diligently
upon
them
,
and
comparing
them
with
a
Skeleton
of
mine
own
,
(
as
well
the
whole
as
the
broken
)
I
was
confirm'd
in
my
opinion
,
and
caused
an
entire
Skeleton
to
be
drawn
of
such
greatness
,
as
all
those
bones
would
have
made
,
if
they
had
been
whole
and
together
;
it
amounted
to
full
nineteen
foot
in
height
;
and
since
no
Beast
is
found
of
that
stature
,
it
is
the
more
probable
they
were
the
bones
of
a
Giant
.
19.
We
find
it
left
in
the
Monuments
and
Writings
of
the
Ancients
,
as
a
most
received
truth
,
That
in
the
Cretan
War
the
Rivers
and
Waters
rose
to
an
unusual
height
,
and
made
sundry
breaches
in
the
earth
;
when
the
Floods
were
gone
,
in
a
great
cleft
and
fall
of
the
earth
there
was
found
the
Carcass
of
a
man
,
of
the
length
of
thirty
and
three
Cubits
.
Lucius
Flaccus
the
then
Legate
,
and
Metellus
himself
allured
with
the
novelty
of
the
report
,
went
on
purpose
to
the
place
to
take
view
of
it
,
and
there
they
saw
with
their
eyes
that
which
upon
the
hearsay
they
had
refuted
as
a
Fable
.
20.
While
I
was
writing
of
this
Book
,
(
that
is
,
in
December
,
1671.
)
there
came
to
the
City
of
Coventry
one
Mr.
Thomas
Birtles
,
a
Cheshire
Man
,
living
near
unto
Maxfield
;
he
had
been
at
London
,
where
,
and
in
his
Journey
homewards
,
he
made
publick
shew
of
himself
,
for
his
extraordinary
Stature
;
his
just
height
,
as
himself
told
me
,
was
somewhat
above
seven
foot
,
although
upon
Trial
it
appears
to
want
something
.
His
Father
he
said
was
a
man
of
moderate
stature
,
his
Mother
was
near
two
yards
high
;
and
he
himself
hath
a
Daughter
,
who
being
about
sixteen
years
of
Age
,
is
yet
already
arrived
to
the
height
of
six
foot
compleat
.
21.
Antonius
was
born
in
Syria
in
the
reign
of
Theodosius
,
he
exceeded
the
measure
of
humane
stature
,
for
he
was
five
Cubits
high
,
and
an
hands
breadth
;
but
his
feet
did
not
answer
in
proportion
to
the
magnitude
of
his
Body
:
He
lived
no
longer
than
twenty
five
years
,
saith
Nicephorus
.
22.
Vitellius
sent
Darius
the
Son
of
Artabanus
in
hostage
to
Rome
with
divers
presents
,
amongst
which
there
was
a
man
seven
Cubits
high
,
a
Jew
born
,
he
was
named
Eleazar
,
and
was
called
a
Giant
by
reason
of
his
greatness
.
But
to
proceed
,
we
read
of
sundry
Giants
that
inhabited
this
Isle
of
great
Britain
,
many
mighty
men
of
Stature
,
especially
in
the
North
,
where
men
most
commonly
are
of
greatest
stature
,
as
Harcator
,
Hartben
,
Angrin
,
Averrodo
,
of
whom
Sano
,
Joannis
Magus
,
Olaus
Magnus
,
make
mention
,
whose
bones
do
yet
remain
to
be
seen
as
rare
Miracles
of
Nature
:
Some
of
these
in
their
life-time
were
able
to
lift
up
a
Vessel
of
Liquor
of
10000
weight
,
or
an
Horse
,

of

book
,
saith
,
that
in
the
Cave
of
a
Mountain
,
not
far
from
Grepannum
a
Town
of
Sicily
,
called
Erix
,
the
body
of
an
exceeding
high
Giant
was
discovered
,
three
of
whose
teeth
did
weigh
an
hundred
Ounces
:
He
saith
moreover
,
the
fourth
part
of
his
Skull
was
able
to
contain
many
Bushels
of
Wheat
;
and
by
the
proportion
of
his
thigh
,
his
Body
was
judged
to
be
200
Cubits
high
.
This
Miracle
of
Nature
is
yet
to
be
seen
in
the
Church
of
Drepanum
in
Scicily
,
in
perpetual
memory
of
his
greatness
.
His
Body
was
found
upon
this
occasion
:
As
some
were
going
to
dig
to
lay
the
Foundation
of
an
House
,
the
Miners
found
a
great
Vault
,
they
found
a
Body
of
a
mighty
man
,
sitting
in
a
Cave
,
of
whose
greatness
they
were
sore
afraid
;
they
run
away
,
and
made
an
out-cry
in
the
City
,
how
there
sate
a
man
in
such
a
place
,
as
great
as
an
Hill
:
the
people
hearing
this
news
,
ran
out
with
clubs
and
staves
,
as
if
to
fight
a
battle
;
and
300
entring
the
Cave
,
they
forthwith
faw
he
was
dead
;
and
yet
sate
as
if
he
had
been
alive
,
having
a
staff
in
his
hand
,
compared
by
my
Author
to
the
Mast
of
a
Ship
;
which
being
touched
,
fell
to
dust
with
his
Body
,
saving
three
teeth
,
and
part
of
his
skull
,
and
one
of
his
thigh
bones
.
There
was
a
Carkass
laid
bare
in
the
year
1170
,
in
England
,
upon
the
shore
,
where
the
beating
of
the
waves
had
washed
away
the
earth
from
the
stone
wherein
it
lay
;
and
when
it
was
taken
up
,
it
contained
15
Foot
at
length
,
as
our
Chronicles
and
Records
affirm
,
and

At

the

of
a
man
is
to
be

,
called
John
Per
Antiphrasin
,
being
14
Foot
in
length
,
which
divers
affirm
that
have
beheld
the
same
;
and
as
(

)
he
did
put
his
whole
arm
into

of

it

and
by

,
his

must

be

the

of
a

that
was

long
,
besides
the
Head
and
the
Neck
,
which
was
missing
,
and
not

:
The

that
in
Wilton
Parish
,
not
far
from
the
Chappel
of

Moon
,
six
Miles
by
East
from
Carlisle
,
a
Coffin
was
found
,
and
therein
the
bones
of
a
m●n
of
incredible
greatness
.
The
Greek
Writers
make
mention
of
Andronicus
the
Emperour
,
who
lived
1183.
and
was
10
Foot
in
height
;
that
is
3
Foot
higher
than
the
Kings
great
Porter
.
Thus
have
I
deduced
from
the
beginning
of
the
World
,
as
near
as
I
can
,
those
memorable
Giants
,
or
mighty
tall
men
;
and
those
no
Fables
,
but
proved
from
good
Authority
.
Some
will
by
no
means
believe
that
there
were
in
former
times
any
such
things
as
Giants
,
but
such
their
erroneous
Oppinions
may
be
apparently
confuted
by
what
I
have
now
written
.
Of
Pigmies
and
Dwarfs
,
with
an
Account
of
their
Stature
,
Habit
,
Building
,
their
Age
,
time
of
Marriage
,
Knowledge
,
Industry
,
Government
,
&c.
IN
the
former
Chapter
we
had
some
of
the
works
of
Nature
written
in
Text
Letters
;
here
we
are
presented
with
some
of
her
Writing
in
Short-hand
;
wherein
many
times
she
hath
been
so
happy
to
comprize
much
in
a
little
compass
.
The
Elephant
,
though
so
vast
of
Bulk
,
is
not
yet
so
great
a
marvel
as
the
smaller
sort
of
Insects
,
where
we
behold
with
equal
pleasure
and
wonder
how
the
Soul
acts
in
those
narrow
and
strait
confinements
,
as
regularly
,
as
where
it
hath
much
larger
room
.
Many
of
these
little
People
call'd
Pigmies
,
are
but
of
three
spans
long
,
and
they
are
very
fair
,
both
Men
and
Women
,
though
they
be
little
,
and
they
are
Marry'd
when
they
are
half
a
year
old
,
and
they
live
but
eight
years
,
for
he
that
liveth
eight
years
is
holden
very
old
:
These
small
men
are
the
best
Workmen
of
Silk
and
Cotten
,
and
all
manne●
of
things
that
are
in
the
World
;
bu●
these
men
Travel
very
little
,
for
they
have
among
them
great
men
as
we
are
,
to
Travel
for
them
,
and
have
that
scor●
of
those
great
men
,
as
we
would
have
of
Giants
if
they
were
among
us
.
A●
to
their
Habit
,
they
are
usually
attire●
with
party-coloured
Silk
,
with
Turban●
on
their
Heads
of
Linnen
,
covered
ove●
with
Cloath
of
Gold
,
and
adorned
with
divers
splendent
Jewels
about
their
back
;
and
the
Dandiprat
Gallants
among
them
cast
a
Mantle
of
blew
Sarsenet
over
their
Shoulders
when
they
walk
,
which
is
gathered
upon
the
right
Arm
with
a
Golden
Button
,
over
which
they
wear
a
small
Chain
of
Silver
,
whereon
they
hang
a
rich
Sword
of
about
five
Inches
long
;
their
Legs
are
always
covered
with
fine
Linnen
,
and
on
their
Feet
they
wea●
Sandals
of
Sheeps-leather
:
When
they
stir
abroad
,
they
bestride
a
lusty
Ram
that
hath
guilded
Horns
and
Trappings
,
bese●
with
sparkling
Diamonds
:
These
little
People
are
very
great
Wits
,
and
extreamly
courteous
and
civil
to
strangers
,
and
there
is
nothing
seemingly
absent
in
them
,
which
might
make
them
Compleat
Men
;
about
their
Necks
in
Summer-time
they
wear
pleasant
Chains
of
odoriferous
Flowers
;
their
Nails
serve
them
as
Weapons
against
the
strongest
wild
Beast
:
Their
Houses
and
Dwellings
are
about
two
hundred
foot
square
,
yet
not
above
sixty
foot
high
,
made
all
of
well
Carved
wood
,
which
abounds
in
their
Countrey
,
called
Geranophorum
,
a
Wood
that
contrary
to
the
nature
of
all
other
wood
,
dyes
when
it
is
in
the
Earth
,
and
when
it
hath
grown
twenty
years
,
if
it
is
sell'd
it
proves
stronger
than
before
.
They
have
many
Castles
in
their
Countrey
,
which
are
very
large
and
strong
,
some
of
which
wil
hold
two
hundred
thousand
of
these
Pigmies
.
As
to
their
Lives
and
Conversations
they
are
very
irregular
,
thô
they
are
naturally
well
enclin'd
to
Hospitality
,
and
a
sence
of
Religion
,
yet
being
destitute
of
a
sufficient
Law-giver
,
they
live
among
themselves
more
like
brutes
than
rational
Creatures
.
The
Commonalty
amongst
them
are
for
the
most
part
Husband-men
,
Gardeners
,
and
Keepers
of
Cattle
;
only
200000
of
them
are
in
especial
employ'd
in
digging
of
Mines
,
which
abound
there
,
and
in
Coining
Gold
and
Silver
:
They
are
all
most
excellent
at
making
Tapestry
,
and
quilted
Works
.
As
to
their
Knowledge
it
is
very
great
,
though
they
themselve
are
but
little
:
There
's
many
great
Schollars
and
Philosophers
amongst
them
,
whic●
are
highly
honour'd
above
all
the
rest
o●
the
Pigmies
.
As
to
their
Government
,
it
i●
both
delightful
and
profitable
;
Oppression
they
abhor
,
and
every
one
amongst
them
enjoye
his
own
,
and
no
body
is
in
want
.
They
have
a
noble
Militia
amongst
them
,
which
the
King
of
the
Countrey
(
who
is
a
man
of
great
understanding
)
sends
every
Spring
to
the
Sea-side
,
to
break
the
Eggs
of
the
young
Cranes
,
and
kill
the
old
ones
as
many
as
they
can
;
thus
every
one
is
helpful
to
each
other
in
their
whole
Government
;
one
sort
manures
the
ground
,
another
defends
the
Countrey
,
another
order
of
them
Cloaths
the
rest
,
another
feeds
them
,
another
helps
them
to
barter
for
what
they
lack
,
and
all
help
to
enrich
each
others
Coffers
,
so
that
every
one
being
content
with
his
Profession
,
and
every
Profession
being
sufficiently
gainful
,
those
that
have
much
,
have
but
enough
,
and
those
that
have
little
,
want
nothing
.
They
are
a
People
that
sleep
very
little
,
two
hours
sleep
in
thirty
two
being
all
they
ever
take
,
or
as
much
as
their
natures
crave
:
But
I
proceed
in
the
next
place
●
some
remarkable
passages
and
relations
concern●ng
these
Pigmies
and
Dwarfs
,
&c.
1.
Julia
the
Niece
of
Augustus
had
a
little
dwarfish
●ellow
called
Conopas
,
whom
she
set
great
store
by
,
●nd
made
much
of
;
he
was
not
above
two
foot
and
●
hands
breadth
in
height
;
and
Andromeda
a
freed
●aid
of
Julia
,
was
of
the
same
height
.
2.
Marcus
Varro
reporteth
,
that
Marius
Maximus
,
and
Marcus
Tullius
were
but
two
Cubits
high
;
and
yet
were
they
both
Gentlemen
and
Knights
of
Rome
:
and
in
truth
we
our selves
have
seen
their
bodies
as
they
lie
embalmed
,
which
testifie
the
same
thing
.
3.
In
the
time
of
Teeodosius
,
there
was
seen
in
Aegypt
a
Pigmy
,
so
small
of
body
,
that
he
resembled
a
Partridge
,
yet
did
he
exercise
all
the
functions
of
a
man
,
and
could
sing
tuneably
:
he
lived
to
the
twentieth
year
of
his
age
.
4.
I
have
seen
some
men
of
a
very
small
stature
,
not
by
reason
of
any
crookedness
in
the
spine
of
the
Back
,
or
Legs
;
but
such
as
were
so
from
their
Birth
,
though
streight
in
all
their
bones
:
of
this
number
was
John
de
Estrix
of
Mechlen
,
whom
I
saw
when
he
was
brought
through
Basil
to
the
Duke
of
Parma
,
then
in
Flanders
,
Anno
1592.
he
was
aged
35.
he
had
a
long
beard
,
and
was
no
more
than
three
foot
high
;
he
could
not
go
up
stairs
,
much
less
could
he
get
upon
a
form
,
but
was
always
lift
up
by
a
servant
:
he
was
skilled
in
three
tongues
,
ingenious
and
industrious
;
with
whom
a
while
I
played
at
Tables
.
5.
There
was
about
forty
years
ago
a
dwarf
whom
I
saw
at
the
court
of
Wirtenberg
,
at
the
Nuptials
of
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
:
the
little
Gentleman
arm'd
cap-a-pee
,
girt
with
a
short
Sword
,
and
with
the
like
Spear
in
his
hand
,
was
put
into
a
Pie
,
that
he
might
not
be
seen
,
and
the
Pie
set
upon
the
Table●
at
last
raising
the
Lid
,
and
breaking
loose
thenc●
he
stepped
out
,
drew
his
sword
,
and
after
the
ma●ner
of
a
Fencer
,
traversed
his
ground
upon
the
Table
,
to
the
equal
wonder
and
laughter
of
them
tha●
were
present
.
6.
M.
Antonius
is
said
to
have
had
Sisiphus
a
Dwar●
who
was
not
of
the
full
height
of
two
foot
,
and
y●
of
a
vivid
wit
.
7.
Anno
1610.
I
saw
John
Dutker
an
Englishma●
whom
some
of
his
own
Countrey-men
carried
u●
and
down
to
get
money
by
the
sight
of
him
.
I
hav●
his
Picture
by
me
,
drawn
at
full
length
;
he
was
about
forty
five
years
of
age
,
as
far
as
might
be
discer●ed
by
his
face
,
which
now
began
to
be
wrinckled
;
h●
had
a
long
beard
,
and
was
only
two
foot
and
a
ha●
high
;
otherwise
of
streight
and
thick
Limbs
,
an●
well
proportion'd
.
A
less
than
he
I
have
never
see●
8.
Augustus
Caesar
exhibited
in
his
plays
one
Luci●
a
young
man
,
born
of
honest
Parents
:
he
was
n●
full
two
foot
high
,
saith
Ravisius
;
he
weighed
b●
seventeen
pounds
,
yet
had
he
a
great
and
stro●
voice
.
9.
Marcus
Tullius
Cicero
had
Quintus
his
own
Br●ther
,
and
Lentulus
his
Son-in-law
,
who
were
bo●
of
them
men
of
a
very
low
and
small
stature
,
an●
he
put
a
jest
upon
each
of
them
for
it
;
when
●
came
into
the
Province
where
his
Brother
had
be●
Prefect
,
and
there
beheld
a
Statue
representing
h●
Brother
,
done
only
to
the
waste
,
but
huge
,
and
●
Shield
in
the
arm
of
it
;
My
half
Brother
,
said
he
,
●
much
bigger
than
my
whole
.
And
seeing
anoth●
time
Lentulus
girt
with
a
long
Sword
,
Who
,
sa●
he
,
has
tyed
my
Brother
to
his
Sword
?
10.
In
the
time
of
Iamblicus
lived
Alypius
of
Ale●andria
,
a
most
excellent
Logician
,
and
a
famous
Ph●losopher
,
but
of
so
small
and
little

Cardan
saith
,
that
he
saw
a
man
at
full
age
●
Italy
,
not
above
a
Cubit
high
,
carried
about
in
●
Parrots

This
would
have
passed
my
belief
,
●ad
I
not
been
told
by
a
Gentleman
of
a
clear
repu●ation
,
how
he
saw
a
man
at
Siena
,
about
two
years
●ince
,
not
exceeding
the
same
stature
.
A
French
man
he
was
,
of
the
Countrey
of
Limosin
,
with
a
formal
beard
,
who
was
also
shewn
in
a
Cage
for
money
,
at
the
end
whereof
was
a
liitle
hutch
,
into
which
he
retired
;
and
when
the
assembly
was
full
,
came
forth
,
and
played
on
an
Instrument
.

Licinius
Calvus
was
an
Orator
of
that
reputation
,
that
he
a
long
time
contended
with
Cicero
himself
,
which
of
them
two
should
bear
away
the
prize
,
and
chiefest
praise
of
Eloquence
;
yet
was
this
man
of
a
very
small
and
low
stature
.
One
time
he
had
pleaded
in
an
action
against
Cato
;
and
when
he
saw
that
Asinius
Pollio
,
who
was
the
accuser
,
was
compassed
about
with
the
Clients
of
Cato
,
in
Caesar's
Market-place
,
he
required
them
about
him
to
set
him
up●
some
turfs
thereby
;
being
got
upon
these
,
he
ope●ly
swore
,
that
in
case
Cato
should
do
any
injury
un●
Assinius
Pollio
,
who
was
his
accuser
,
that
then
●
himself
would
swear
positively
to
that
whereof
●
had
been
accused
.
And
after
this
time
Assinius
Pol●
was
never
hurt
,
either
in
word
or
deed
,
either
●
Cato
,
or
any
of
his
Advocates

Remarkable
passages
of
some
persons
that
of
Women
have
become
Men
,
&c.
NAture
seems
to
be
so
in
love
with
change
,
that
she
will
have
nothing
here
in
this
World
to
rest
in
a
continued
and
constant
state
:
hence
it
is
that
Rivers
seek
out
new
Channels
for
themselves
;
new
Cities
arise
out
of
the
Ruines
and
Rubbish
of
the
Old.
The
tops
of
Olympus
,
Aetna
and
Parnassus
do
not
appear
so
high
to
us
as
they
did
to
our
Fore-fathers
:
and
the
very
Heavens
themselves
look
almost
daily
upon
us
with
different
faces
.
But
whether
there
have
been
such
changes
in
human
bodys
,
as
those
whereof
this
Chapter
treats
,
that
must
rest
upon
the
credit
of
such
Authors
as
have
been
the
Relaters
of
the
following
Histories
.
1.
It
is
no
lye
or
fable
that
Females
may
be
turned
into
Males
,
for
we
have
found
it
recorded
in
the
Annals
,
that
in
the
year
when
Publicus
Licinius
,
Crassius
,
and
Cajus
Cassius
Longinus
,
were
Consuls
of
Rome
,
there
was
in
Cassinum
a
Maid
Child
under
the
hand
and
tuition
of
he●
Parents
,
who
became
a
Boy
,
and
by
the
appointment
of
the
Auruspices
wa●
confin'd
to
a
certain
Desart
Island
,
an●
thither
convey'd
.
2.
Lucinius
Mulianus
reports
tha●
himself
saw
at
Argos
one
named
Agischon
,
who
before
time
had
to
nam●
Arischusa
,
and
was
a
Maid
;
but
afterwards
in
process
of
time
,
came
to
hav●
a
Beard
,
and
also
the
parts
testifying
a
man
,
and
thereupon
marry'd
a
Wife
.
3.
There
was
in
Smirna
a
Virgin
called
Philotis
,
but
in
the
same
night
wherein
in
she
was
marry'd
to
a
young
man
,
those
parts
which
were
inverted
and
concealed
,
began
to
appear
,
and
she
arose
in
the
morning
of
a
contrary
Sex
.
4.
A
marvellous
thing
also
happened
in
our
Age
,
saith
Fulyosus
,
when
Ferdinand
the
First
was
King
of
Naples
,
Ludovicus
Guarna
,
a
Citizen
of
Selerne
,
had
five
Daughters
,
of
which
the
two
oldest
were
called
Francisca
and
Cacola
,
both
which
at
fifteen
years
of
age
,
found
such
alteration
in
themselves
,
that
they
changed
their
Feminine
habit
and
names
also
,
the
one
being
called
Franciscu●
and
the
other
Cacolus
.
5.
In
the
Town
of
Erguila
,
distant
●me
nine
Miles
from
Contulia
,
there
●ed
a
Noble
man
who
had
a
daughter
●med
Maria
Pacheca
,
who
by
a
like
●ccident
with
the
former
,
proving
to
be
young
man
,
changed
her
habit
,
and
●lled
her self
Manuall
Payrca
;
who
after
●ade
a
Voyage
into
the
Indies
,
became
●
valiant
Souldier
,
attained
to
much
wealth
and
honour
;
and
returning
,
marryed
a
Lady
of
a
Noble
Family
,
but
never
attained
to
have
issue
,
and
his
countenance
continued
effeminate
to
the
day
of
his
death
.
6.
Strange
is
that
which
is
related
by
Antoninus
Torquemado
,
not
far
from
the
City
of
Beneventum
in
Spain
;
a
Country
man
of
a
mean
fortune
,
married
a
Wife
,
who
because
she
was
barren
,
used
her
very
roughly
,
insomuch
that
she
led
with
him
a
very
discontented
life
,
whereupon
one
day
putting
on
one
of
her
husbands
Suits
to
disguise
her self
from
knowledge
,
she
stole
out
of
the
house
to
seek
a
more
peaceable
fortune
elsewhere
,
and
having
been
in
divers
Services
,
whether
the
conceit
of
her
mans
Habit
,
or
whether
nature
strangely
wrought
in
her
,
but
she
found
a
notable
alteration
in
her
self
,
insomuch
that
she
who
had
been
Wife
,
desired
to
perform
the
office
of
Husband
,
she
marryed
a
woman
in
tha●
place
where
she
had
retired
her self
long
she
kept
these
things
close
,
till
i●
the
end
,
one
of
her
familiar
acquaintance
travelling
by
chance
that
way
,
an●
seeing
her
to
be
like
that
woman
he
before
knew
,
he
demanded
if
she
wer●
not
Brother
to
such
a
mans
Wife
,
an●
had
forsaken
her
Husbands
house
so
many
years
since
?
to
whom
,
upon
promise
of
secrecy
,
she
reveal'd
all
that
yo●
have
heard
,
with
the
circumstances
before
rehearsed
.
7.
I
my self
am
an
eye-witness
,
saith
Pliny
,
that
in
Africa
one
Cocicius
a
Citizen
of
Tisdrita
,
turned
from
a
woman
to
be
a
man
upon
her
very
Weddingday
,
and
was
alive
at
that
time
that
I
wrote
this
Book
.
8.
A
Woman
of
Cajeta
that
was
married
to
a
Fisherman
,
as
Antoninus
related
it
to
us
,
saith
,
Pontanus
,
after
fourteen
years
acquaintance
with
her
Husbands
Bed
,
was
changed
from
a
woman
to
a
man
;
upon
which
being
ashamed
of
her self
,
as
one
exposed
to
the
derisions
of
Men
and
Women
,
she
altered
also
her
course
of
life
,
and
entred
into
a
Mo●astry
,
where
he
continued
the
rest
of
his
life
;
he
was
buried
in
the
Church
of
St.
Mary
.
9.
But
that
almost
surpasses
all
credit
which
is
told
by
Pontanus
of
a
woman
,
who
after
she
had
been
delivered
of
a
Son
,
became
a
man
,
which
yet
he
confirms
by
the
testimony
of
Antonius
Colotius
the
Umbrian
,
and
saith
he
,
this
fell
out
in
the
year
1496.
10.
Some
years
since
,
saith
Pareus
,
when
I
was
in
the
Retinue
of
Charles
the
Ninth
at
Versails
in
France
,
there
was
shewed
me
a
man
called
Kerinanus
Jar●ierus
,
by
some
Germans
Maria
,
who
before
having
been
a
Roman
was
called
Maria
;
he
was
of
an
indifferent
stature
,
●
square
habit
of
body
,
with
a
thick
and
red
Beard
.
He
was
taken
for
a
Virgin
unto
the
fifteenth
year
of
his
age
,
at
which
time
running
after
the
Hogs
he
kept
,
which
had
gotten
into
the
Corn
,
●nd
leaping
over
a
Ditch
with
great
vio●ence
,
it
came
to
pass
that
the
Membranes
●eing
broke
,
the
hidden
evidences
of
a
●an

themselves
;
returning
●o
their
Cottage
,
with
Tears
,
she
com●lained
to
her
mother
,
that
her
bowels
fell
out
;
at
which
Spectacle
her
Moth●
astonisht
,
and
being
inform'd
by
Phys●cians
,
that
her
Daughter
was
becom●
a
man
.
The
whole
matter
being
represented
to
the
Cardinal
,
he
called
a●

,
where
she
received
the
Nam●
and
Habit
of

Antonius
Diunna
,
a
learned
pe●son
propounds
the
Question
,
whethe●
a
Nun
being
turn'd
into
a
Man
,
is
oblig'd
to
become
a
Monk
,
and
take
upon
him
some
religious
Order
?
resolves
it
in
the
Negative
in
such
words
as
these
:
There
was
a
Nun
of
St.
Dominicks
in
the
City
of
Ubeda
,
she
was
born
in
a
Town
called
Sabeoff
;
her
name
was
Magdalenna
Mugnors
;
the
memory
of
her
is
yet
fresh
amongst
us
.
This
Woman
in
the
7th
.
year
after
she
had
taken
upon
her
the
Profession
of
a
Nun
,
was
from
a
Woman
turn'd
into
a
Man
:
being
hereupon
expell'd
the
Nunnery
,
she
put
on
Mans
Clothes
;
a
Beard
grew
upon
her
Chin
,
and
she
was
called
Franciscus
Megnoz
.
This
very
Francis
was
afterwards
my
Client
,
and
I
pleaded
for
him
in
a
case
of
Rape
;
for
a
certain
Woman
accus'd
him
,
That
she
was
known
by
him
by
violence
,
and
got
with
Child
:
so
that
adds
he
,
if
the
like
case
shall
fall
out
,
seeing
the
aforesaid
Nun
turn
to
a
Man
,
was
turn'd
out
of
the
Nunnery
,
such
person
without
scruple
may
marry
,
or
take
Orders
,
as
he
please
.
Strange
Passages
of
some
Cheats
and
Pick-pockets
.
THE
Emperor
Aurelius
Alexander
,
saith
Lampidius
,
was
so
perfect
a
hater
of
all
Thieves
,
that
if
he
chanced
but
to
see
any
of
them
,
he
had
his
finger
ready
to
pull
out
one
of
their
eyes
,
and
not
only
so
,
but
it
seems
so
great
was
his
Antipathy
towards
all
that
laboured
under
that
kind
of
Infamy
,
that
at
the
casual
sight
of
any
such
,
with
the
very
commotion
of
his
mind
he
would
vomit
up
Choler
,
and
such
a
sudden
burning
would
come
into
his
face
,
that
he
could
not
speak
for
the
present
so
much
as
one
single
word
.
Great
,
sure
,
is
that
filthiness
which
excited
a
loathing
in
so
gallant
and
great
a
man
.
But
the
Histories
of
these
bold
and
subtile
Practitioners
will
not
(
I
hope
)
seem
altogether
so
nauseous
.
1.
Maccus
,
a
famous
Cheat
,
came
into
the
Shop
of
a
Shoemaker
at
Leiden
,
and
saluted
him
,
casting
his
Eye
upon
a
pair
of
Boots
that
hung
up
:
the
Shoemaker
asked
him
if
he
would
buy
them
?
the
other
seemed
willing
,
they
were
taken
down
,
drawn
on
,
and
fitted
him
very
well
.
Now
,
saith
he
,
how
well
would
a
pair
of
double-soal'd
Shoes
fit
these
Boots
,
they
were
found
and
fitted
to
his
feet
upon
the
Boots
.
Now
,
saith
Maccus
,
Tell
me
true
,
Doth
it
never
so
fall
out
,
that
such
as
you
have
so
fitted
for
a
Race
,
as
you
have
now
done
me
,
run
away
without
paying
?
Never
,
said
the
other
,
but
said
,
if
it
should
be
so
,
what
would
you
then
do
?
I
would
follow
him
,
said
the
Shoemaker
:
well
,
said
Maccus
,
I
will
trie
,
and
thereupon
began
to
run
,
the
Shoemaker
immediately
followed
,
crying
,
Stop
Thief
,
stop
Thief
;
at
which
the
Citizens
came
out
of
their
houses
,
but
Maccus
laughing
,
Let
no
man
,
said
he
hinder
our
Race
,
for
we
run
for
a
Cup
of
Ale
;
whereupon
all
set
themselves
quiet
Spectators
of
the
Course
,
till
Maccus
had
run
quite
away
,
and
the
poor
Shoemaker
return'd
swearing
,
and
out
of
breath
,
and
declared
how
he
had
been
dealt
with
.
2.
The
Emperor
Charls
the
5th
.
commanding
a
remove
,
while
every
man
mas
busied
in
putting
up
his
stuff
,
there
entred
a
good
fellow
into
the
Hall
,
where
the
Emperour
was
,
being
meanly
accompanied
,
and
ready
to
take
horse
.
This
Thief
,
for
so
he
was
,
having
made
great
Reverence
,
presently
went
about
taking
down
of
the
Hangings
,
making
great
haste
,
as
if
he
had
much
business
to
do
,
and
though
it
was
not
his
profession
,
yet
he
went
about
it
so
nimbly
,
that
he
whose
charge
it
was
to
take
them
down
coming
to
do
it
,
found
that
some
body
had
easied
him
of
that
labour
,
and
which
was
worse
,
of
carrying
them
away
too
.

Great
was
the
boldness
of
an
Italian
Thief
,
who
in
the
time
of
Pope
Paul
the
third
,
pla'd
this
Prank
.
A
certain
Cardinal
having
made
a
great
Feast
in
his
house
,
and
the
silver
Vessels
being
locked
up
in
a
Trunk
that
stood
in
the
Parlor
next
the
Hall
,
where
the
Feast
had
been
,
while
many
were
sitting
and
waiting
in
this
Room
for
their
Masters
,
there
came
a
man
in
with
a
Torch
carried
before
him
,
bearing
the
countenance
of
Steward
,
and
having
a
Jacket
on
,
who
prayed
those
that
sate
on
the
Trunk
,
to
rise
up
from
it
,
because
he
was
to
use
the
same
:
which
they
having
done
,
he
made
it
to
be
taken
up
by
certain
Porters
that
followed
him
in
,
and
went
clean
away
with
it
.
And
this
was
done
while
the
Steward
,
and
all
the
Servants
of
the
house
were
at
Supper
.

The
Emperor
Charles
the
5th
.
had
a
little
Watch
of
admirable
and
rare
Workmanship
,
in
a
great
Croud
he
was
robbed
of
it
by
a
Courtier
that
attended
upon
him
;
but
the
Watch
it self
betrayed
the
Thief
,
for
it
struck
the
hour
of
the
day
in
his
Pocket
;
at
the
sound
of
which
the
poor
man
surprized
and
affrighted
,
cast
himself
on
his
knees
before
the
Emperor
,
imploring
his
Pardon
,
which
the
Emperor
easily
granted
.

At
Antwerp
not
long
since
,
there
was
a
Priest
,
who
had
received
a
pretty
round
Sum
in
Silver
,
which
he
had
put
into
a
great
Purse
that
hung
upon
his
girdle
:
a
certain
Cheat
had
observed
it
,
who
came
,
and
saluting
of
him
civilly
,
tells
him
,
that
he
was
appointed
by
the
Parish
where
he
lived
,
to
buy
a
new
Surplice
;
he
humbly
begs
therefore
,
that
he
would
please
to
go
with
him
to
the
place
where
they
were
sold
,
that
he
might
be
the
better
fitted
,
in
as
much
as
he
was
of
the
very
same
pitch
and
habit
of
body
with
the
Priest
of
their
Parish
.
He
prevailed
,
and
together
they
went
.
A
Surplice
was
brought
forth
,
and
put
upon
him
;
the
Seller
said
,
it
fitted
exactly
.
The
Cheat
,
when
he
had
surveyed
the
Priest
,
now
before
,
then
behind
,
said
it
was
too
short
before
;
that
's
not
the
fault
of
the
Surplice
,
said
the
Shop-keeper
,
but
is
occasioned
by
the
d●stension
of
the
Purse
.
The
Priest
therefore
laid
down
his
Purse
,
that
they
might
view
it
again
;
but
no
sooner
had
he
turned
his
back
,
but
the
Cheat
catched
up
the
Purse
,
and
away
he
run
with
it
,
the
Priest
followed
in
the
Surplice
,
as
he
was
:
the
Shop-keeper
pursued
the
Priest
,
the
Cheat
said
,
stop
the
Priest
,
for
he
is
mad
;
the
people
easily
believed
no
less
,
when
they
saw
him
running
in
publick
,
and
so
habited
,
so
that
while
one
was
a
hinderance
to
the
other
,
the
Cheat
got
off
clear
with
the
Purse
and
Money
of
the
poor
Priest
.
But
many
more
passages
of
this
note
I
could
here
recite
,
but
I
will
not
be
too
tedious
upon
a
Head

there

with

members
of
their

makes
report
of
such

.
About

(
saith

)
there

Scithian
Islands
where
there
is
a
●ation
of
Fanesions
,
who
being
other●se
naked
,
have
Ears
so
large
,
that
●ey
invelope
their
whole
bodies
with

.
And
in
his
seventh
Book
,
(

)
●
proves
that
in
the
borders
of
India
,
not
far
from
Taprobana
,
there
are
m●
who
cover
themselves
all
over
with
the
Eares
.
The
testimonies
of
these
men
a●
very
ancient
,
but
there
are
not
wanti●
later
witnesses
.
For
besides
that
whic●
Isidor
(
lib
.
11.
cap
.

)
affirms
of
the●
Maximilianus
Transilvanus
(
apud
Ram●
Tom
.

)
reports
that
there
is
an
Islan●
neer
the
Molucca's
where
the
peop●
have
such
vast
Ears
.
And
Pigafetta
●
sures
us
;
that
in
Arucetto
which
is
●
Island
reckoned
among
the
Motucca●
there
are
such
people
as
before
mentio●ed
,
whose
Ears
have
so
spacious
a●
prodigious
dimensions
.
Purchas
(
Pil●

says
that

,
having

of
such
bigne●
that
they

and

So
that
although
th●
things
have
been
reported
in
Fables
,
●
you
may
find
Authors
whom
it
wo●
not

BLock-heads

the

when

so
that

certain

unto

to
harden

An

AMong
the
Venetians
,
the
Maid
when
they
are
to
be
coulped
i●
marriage
,
they
are
kept
very
daintily
to
the
end
they
may
become
more
fat
well-liking
,
and
in
good
plight
;
they
use
Disht
wheat

they
slee●
longer

they
live
very
idly
close
cooped
up

that
at
length
they
may
grow
fat
as
cramb'd

;
therefore
they
feed
upon
unctuous

swee●
meats
,
that
they
more
daintily
an●
with
a

trim
grace
be
dedicated
to

This
artifice
is
used
to
accommodate
the
phansie
of

of

Nation
;
for
the
Italians
desire
to
have
their
women
thick

set

plump

contrary
to
whic●
is
practised
by

for
th●
Spaniard
loves
a

The
German
prefers
one
that
is
strong
;
The

one
that
is
soft

delicate

ten●er
;
The

a

We
com●only
judge
that
woman
to
be
beautiful
,

is
of
a
white
complexion
,
and
soft

tender
;
clean
contrary
to
the
judgment
●f
Galen
,
who
says
that
those
are
the
signs
●f
a
false
and
counterfeit
beauty
,
and
that

and
native
beauty
consists
in
the
just

of

a

An
account
of
a
sort
of
People
that
have
Heads
like
Dogs
.
MAny
have
held
opinion
,
that
Pliny
and
Aulus
Gellius
were
loud
●ers
,
when
they
wrote
and
published
,
that
there
lived
a
certain
kind
of
peo●le
in
Scythia
,
which
had
Dogs
heads
,
●nd
that
they
howled
like
Dogs
,
instead
●f
speaking
as
other
men
do
.
What
these
●wo
worthy
men
have
writen
is
true
in
●art
,
but
not
in
all
.
I
say
in
part
,
be●ause
some
people
that
have
been
disco●ered
within
the
space
of
these
fourscore
●ears
and
somewhat
more
,
have
a
form
or
figure
neer
in
resemblance
to
t●
head
and
shape
of
a
Dogs
head
;
●
wit
,
of
those
little
pretty
flat-nose
Do
which
Ladies
keep
for
pleasure
in
the
Chambers
;
yet
not
Naturally
,
but
A●tificially
.
For
these
people
,
from
t●
tune
of
all
antiquity
,
did
always
ho●
it
for
a
singular
beauty
to
them
,
to
ha●
their
Noses
flatted
or
faln
down
.
A●
this
is
the
reason
,
that
when
their
ch●dren
are
newly
born
,
and
have
the
bones
very
tender
,
the
Fathers
and
M●thers
never
fail
to
quash
,
or
flat
dow●
that
part
of
the
face
which
is
betwee●
the
eyes
and
the
mouth
,
as
the
like
hat●
been
done
to
little
Dogs
.
And
to
spea●
truly
,
being
thus
dealt
withall
,
they
diffe●
very
little
in
their
looks
from
the
r●semblance
of
Dogs
.
But
they
meddle
n●
with
their
Ears
,
to
make
them
poin●ed
or
hanging
down
,
as
commonly
●
used
to
those
Creatures
.
Yet
true
it
i●
that
when
they
are
grown
to
man
●
stature
,
they
bore
or
pierce
holes
throug●
their
ears
(
even
as
is
done
here
amon●
us
)
to
hang
therein
fine-colour'd
stone●
or
else
the
bones
of
certain
fleshes
.
O●
the
other
side
,
in
part
they
have
a
repor●ed
Fable
,
when
they
say
,
that
the●
Cynocephali
or
Cynocephales
,
that
is
to
●y
,
men
having
heads
like
unto
Dogs
,
●o
dwell
in
a
part
of
Scythia
,
because
●l
those
Countries
have
been
discover●d
,
and
do
declare
no
deformity
on
●e
peoples
bodies
:
But
they
of
whom
●e
make
mention
,
are
placed
between
●he
Equinoctial
,
and
Tropic
of
Capri●orn
,
on
that
side
which
is
called
Ame●ica
,
in
part
whereof
these
Cynotephales
●re
contained
.
Of
such
Persons
as
have
return'd
to
life
after
they
have
been
believed
to
be
dead
.
WHen
a
Bird
hath
once
broken
from
her
Cage
,
and
has
tasted
●he
sweetness
of
the
air
,
and
which
is
more
,
of
the
pleasure
of
society
and
●iberty
,
it
's
not
an
easie
thing
to
allure
●er
back
to
the
place
of
her
former
re●traint
.
And
it
is
as
hard
to
conceive
,
that
a
Soul
which
has
once
found
it self
●n
a
state
of
enlargement
,
should
wil●ingly
return
any
more
into
the
strait
and
uneasie
prison
of
the
Body
.
But
it
seems
(
by
what
follows
)
that
there
are
certain
laws
on
the
other
side
of
deat●
to
which
it
must
obey
,
by
vertue
o●
which
we
read
of
so
many
morsels
ca●
up
again
which
death
seemed
to
hav●
swallowed
quite
down
.

That
is
wonderful
which
befel
t●
two
Brother
Knights
of
Rome
,
the
elde●
of
them
was
nam'd
Corfidius
,
who
being
in
the
repute
of
all
men
dead
,
th●
tables
of
his
last
will
and
testament
wer●
receited
,
in
which
he
had
made
his
Brother
the
Heir
of
all
he
had
:
But
in
th●
midst
of
the
Funeral
preparations
,
h●
rose
with
great
cheerfulness
upon
hi●
Legs
,
and
said
,
That
he
had
been
with
his
Brother
,
who
had
recommended
the
care
of
his
Daughter
unto
him
,
and
had
also
shewed
him
where
he
had
hid
a
great
quantity
of
Gold
under
ground
,
wherewith
he
should
defray
his
Funeral
Expences
.
While
he
was
speaking
in
this
manner
to
the
admiration
of
all
that
were
present
,
there
came
a
messenger
with
the
news
of
his
Brother's
death
;
and
the
Gold
was
also
found
in
the
very
place
as
he
had
said
.

Plutarch
in
his
Book
de
anima
,
writes
of
one
Enarchus
,
who
being
accounted
,
and
left
for
dead
by
the
Physicians
,
not
long
after
return'd
to
life
,
●ffirming
,
that
those
spirits
who
had
●ithdrawn
him
from
this
life
,
were
se●erely
reproved
by
their
Chief
;
for
●at
through
their
mistake
they
had
●rought
him
instead
of
Nicauda
the
●anner
,
who
the
same
day
and
hour
being
sick
of
a
Fever
)
died
in
his
Bed
.
●esides
this
,
as
a
testimony
of
his
re●rn
to
life
,
he
told
Plutarch
(
who
was
●en
sick
)
that
he
should
speedily
reco●er
of
that
disease
,
as
indeed
he
did
.

A
like
case
with
the
former
is
set

by
Gregorius
thus
:
There
was
,

he
,
one
Reparatus
a
Roman
,
who
●eing
stiff
and
cold
was
given
over
by
●s
Relations
,
as
one
who
was
undoubt●dly
dead
,
when
soon
after
he
return'd
●
life
,
and
sent
to
the
Shrine
of
S.
Lau●nce
in
Rome
,
such
as
should
inquire
●ncerning
Tiburtius
the
Priest
there
,
if
●ny
thing
had
newly
befallen
him
.
In
the
●ean
time
while
the
messenger
was
●ne
,
he
told
them
that
were
with
him
,
●at
he
had
seen
that
Tiburtius
tormen●d
in
Hell
with
terrible
flames
.
The
●essenger
he
had
sent
return'd
with
this
●ews
,
that
Triburtius
was
that
very
hour
●eparted
this
life
,
and
soon
after
Repara●s
himself
died
.

and
inclining
towards
Eve●ing
,
so
that
preparation
for
his
Funer●
could
not
be
conveniently
made
in
th●
short
time
,
he
was
therefore
laid
o●
and
kept
in
the
house
till
the
morro●
at
which
time
he
arose
from
the
dea●
and
said
,
that
he
was
brought
before
certain
Judge
,
where
he
heard
the
loudly
reprehended
and
rated
,
by
who●
he
was
thither
brought
;
for
that
t●
Judge
had
given
them
order
not
●
bring
him
,
but
one
Stephanus
a
Blac●smith
,
who
was
one
of
his
Neighbou●
they
sent
therefore
to
that
Blacksmit●
and
it
was
found
that
he
died
in
th●
very
hour
.
And
this
,
saith
Gregorius
,
have
heard
related
by
the
month
of
St●phanus
himself
.
5.
Near
unto
this
is
that
which
S.
A●gustine
saith
was
seen
by
himself
in
t●
person
of
one
Curina
:
this
man
liv'd
●
a
Village
near
unto
Hippo
in
Afric●
where
S.
Augustine
was
Bishop
,
falli●
into
a
greivous
sickness
,
he
was
rep●
●
by
almost
all
persons
as
dead
,
hav●g
lost
all
his
senses
,
and
receiving
no
●nd
of
nourishment
,
when
he
had
lain
me
days
in
this
posture
,
that
which
●tain'd
his
Friends
from
the
burial
of
●n
was
,
that
some
of
them
thought
●e
little
breath
was
yet
in
his
No●ls
:
but
when
these
also
were
now
of
●e
mind
that
he
was
departed
,
on
the
●den
he
opened
his
eyes
,
and
bad
●em
send
speedily
to
Curina
a
Smith
●d
his
Neighbour
to
see
how
he
did
,
●d
when
word
was
brought
back
that
●
was
newly
dead
,
he
told
them
that
●
was
brought
before
a
Judge
who
●rply
rebuked
the
spirits
that
had
●ought
him
instead
of
the
other
Curi●
;
that
thereupon
he
was
restored
to
●e
,
that
in
this
extasie
he
had
seen
Pa●dise
,
and
many
other
things
he
rela●
,
amonst
others
,
that
he
was
ad●onished
to
be
baptized
by
S.
Augustine
●
Hippo
,
being
therefore
restored
to
●
health
,
he
did
as
he
was
advised
.
Of
such
who
after
death
have
concerned
themselves
with
the
affairs
●
their
Friends
and
Relations
.
THe
Platonists
speak
of
some
Soul
that
after
they
are
departed
fro●
their
bodies
,
they
have
yet
a
strang●
hankering
after
them
:
whereupon
it
●
that
they
haunt
the
dormitories
of
th●
dead
,
and
keep
about
the
places
wher●
their
bodies
lye
interr'd
,
and
are
ther●fore
call'd
by
the
Philosophers
Body
lovers
.
I
know
not
under
what
restrain
souls
are
,
when
once
separate
from
the●
bodies
,
nor
what
priviledges
some
●
them
have
above
others
;
but
if
the
fo●lowing
relations
are
true
,
some
of
the●
here
spoken
of
,
have
been
as
mindf●
of
their
Friends
and
Families
,
as
othe●
were
affected
to
the
bodies
,
they
ha●
before
deserted
.
Ludovicus
Adolisius
,
Lord
of
Immol●
sent
a
Secretary
of
his
upon
earnest
b●siness
to
Ferrara
;
in
which
journey
,
l●
was
met
by
one
on
Horse-back
,
atirr'●
like
an
Hunts-man
,
with
an
Hawk
u●on
his
fist
,
who
saluted
him
by
h●
name
,
and
desired
him
,
to
intreat
h●
Son
Lodowick
,
to
meet
him
in
that
ve●
place
the
next
day
,
at
the
same
hour
,
to
whom
he
would
discover
certain
things
of
no
mean
con●equence
,
which
much
concerned
him
and
his
Estate
.
The
Secretary
returning
,
and
revealing
his
to
his
Lord
,
at
first
he
would
scarce
give
credit
to
his
Report
,
and
jealous
withal
,
that
it
might
be
some
train
laid
to
intrap
his
Life
,
he
●ent
another
in
his
stead
;
to
whom
the
same
Spirit
appeared
in
the
shape
aforesaid
,
and
seemed
much
to
lament
his
Sons
diffidence
;
to
whom
if
●e
had
come
in
Person
,
he
would
have
related
●trange
things
,
which
threatned
his
Estate
,
and
●he
means
how
to
prevent
them
:
Yet
desired
him
●o
recommend
him
to
his
Son
,
and
tell
him
,
that
●fter
twenty
two
Years
,
one
Month
,
and
one
Day
prefix'd
,
he
should
lose
the
Government
of
that
City
,
which
he
then
possessed
,
and
so
he
●anished
.
It
happened
just
at
the
same
time
●he
Spirit
had
Predicted
(
notwithstanding
his
●reat
care
and
Providence
)
that
Philip
Duke
of
●●●ain
,
the
same
Night
Besieged
the
City
,
and
●y
the
help
of
the
Ice
(
it
being
then
a
great
●rost
)
past
the
Moat
,
and
with
scaling
Ladders
●caled
the
Wall
,
surpriz'd
the
City
,
and
took
Lodowick
Prisoner
.
He
was
in
League
with
Phi●p
,
and
therefore
feared
no
harm
from
him
.

Two
wealthy
Merchants
,
travel●ing
through
the
Taurine
Hills
into
●rance
,
upon
the
way
met
with
a
man
●f
more
than
Humane
stature
;
who
●hus
said
to
him
,
Salute
my
Brother
●ewis
Sforza
,
and
deliver
him
this
Let●er
from
me
:
They
were
amaz'd
,
and
●king
who
he
was
?
he
told
them
,
that
he
was
Galeaceus
Sforza
,
and
imm●diately
vanish'd
out
of
sight
.
The●
made
haste
to
Milain
,
and
delivered
th●
Duke's
Letter
,
wherein
was
thus
wri●ten
:
O
,
O
,
O
,
Lewis
,
take
heed
to
t●
self
,
for
the
Venetians
and
French
will
●nite
to
thy
ruine
,
and
to
deprive
thy
P●sterity
of
their
Estate
.
But
if
thou
wi●
deliver
me
3000
Guilders
,
I
will
ende●vour
that
the
Spirits
being
reconcil'd
thy
unhappy
Fate
may
be
averted
;
an●
this
I
hope
to
perform
,
if
thou
shalt
not
r●fuse
what
I
have
requested
:
Farewel
.
Th●
Subscription
was
:
The
Soul
of
Galeace●
thy
Brother
.
This
was
laugh'd
at
b●
most
as
a
Fiction
,
but
not
long
after
,
th●
Duke
was
dispossess'd
of
his
Governmen●
and
taken
Prisoner
by
Lewis
the
Twelfth
King
of
France
.
Thus
far
Arulnus
,
i●
first
Section
of
the
History
of
Milain
who
also
was
an
eye-witness
of
wha●
hath
pass'd
.

Caesar
Baronius
tells
that
there
w●
an
intire
friendship
betwixt
Micael
Me●catus
the
Elder
,
and
Marsilius
Ficinus
and
this
friendship
was
the
stronger
betwixt
them
,
by
reason
of
a
mutual
agreement
in
their
studies
,
and
an
addictedness
to
the
Doctrines
of
Plato
.
I
fell
out
that
these
two
discoursed
together
(
as
●ey
us'd
)
of
the
state
of
Man
after
Death
,
ac●ding
to
Plato's
Opinions
,
(
and
there
is
ex●t
a
Learned
Epistle
of
Marsilius
to
Michael
●ercatus
,
upon
the
same
Subject
)
but
when
●eir
Disputation
and
Discourse
was
drawn
out
●mewhat
long
,
they
shut
it
up
with
this
firm
●greement
,
That
which
soever
of
them
two
●ould
first
depart
out
of
this
Life
(
if
it
might
●
)
should
ascertain
the
survivor
of
the
state
●
the
other
Life
,
and
whether
the
Soul
be
●mortal
or
not
.
This
Agreement
being
made
,
●d
mutually
sworn
unto
,
they
departed
.
In
a
●ort
time
it
fell
out
,
that
while
Michael
Mer●tus
was
one
Morning
early
at
his
Study
,
upon
●e
su●den
he
heard
the
noise
of
a
Horse
upon
●e
gallop
;
and
then
stopping
at
his
door
,
withal
●e
heard
the
voice
of
Marsilius
his
Friend
,
cry●g
to
him
,
O
Michael
,
O
Michael
,
those
things
●e
true
,
they
are
true
.
Michael
wondring
to
hear
●is
Friends
voice
,
rose
up
,
and
opening
the
●asement
,
he
saw
the
backside
of
him
whom
he
●ad
heard
,
in
white
,
and
gallopping
away
upon
●
white
Horse
:
He
call'd
after
him
,
Marsilius
,
Marsilius
;
and
follow'd
him
with
his
Eye
.
But
●e
soon
vanish'd
out
of
sight
.
He
amaz'd
at
this
●xtraordinary
Accident
,
very
solicitously
en●uired
,
if
any
thing
had
happened
to
Marsilius
(
who
then
liv'd
at
Florence
,
where
he
also
breath'd
his
last
)
and
he
found
upon
strict
enquiry
,
that
he
dyed
at
that
very
time
wherein
he
was
thus
heard
and
seen
by
him
.

We
read
in
the
Life
of
John
Chrysostom
of
Basiliscus
,
the
Bishop
of
the
City
Comana
,
(
the
same
who
with
Lucianus
a
Priest
of
Antioch
,
suffer'd
Martyrdom
under
Maximia●●s
the
Emperour
)
that
he
appeared
to
St.
Chrysostom
in
●
Exile
,
and
said
,
Brother
John
,
be
of
good
hea●
and
courage
,
for
to
morrow
we
shall
be
togethe●
Also
that
before
this
,
he
had
appear'd
to
t●
Priest
of
that
Church
,
and
said
,
Prepare
a
pl●
for
our
Brother
John
,
for
he
is
to
come
presently
And
that
these
things
were
true
,
was
afterwar●
confirm'd
by
the
event
.
A
strange
Discovery
of
a
New
World
tha●
is
above
us
:
Or
,
A
Discourse
provin●
that
there
is
an
Habitable
World
in
th●
Moon
.
SInce
this
Discourse
may
be
suspected
of
singularity
,
I
shall
therefore
first
confirm
it
by
sufficient
Authority
of
divers
Authors
both
Ancient
and
Modern
,
that
so
I
may
the
better
clear
,
it
from
the
prejudice
either
of
an
upstart
Fancy
,
or
an
absolete
Error
.
This
is
by
some
attributed
to
Orpheus
,
one
of
the
most
Ancient
Greek
Poets
,
who
speaking
of
the
Moon
,
says
thus
;
That
it
hath
many
Mountains
,
and
Cities
,
and
Houses
,
and
Dwellings
in
it
:
To
him
assented
Anaxagoras
,
Democritus
,
and
Heraclides
,
all
who
thought
it
to
have
firm
solid
Ground
,
and
large
Fields
,
like
to
our
Earth
,
containing
likewise
many
large
Pastures
,
Closes
,
Champion
Grounds
,
and
an
innumerable
company
of
gallant
Inhabitants
.
Of
this
Opinion
likewise
was
Zenophanes
,
as
he
is
cited
for
it
by
Lactantius
,
though
that
Father
(
perhaps
)
did
mistake
his
meaning
whilst
he
relates
it
thus
,
Dixit
Zenophanes
intra
●ncauuum
Lunae
esse
aliam
terram
&
ibi
aliud
genus
●ominum
simili
modo
vivere
sicut
nos
in
hac
terra
,
&c.
●s
if
he
had
conceived
the
Moon
to
be
a
New
●orld
,
or
great
hollow
Body
,
in
the
midst
of
●hose
Concavity
there
should
be
another
Globe
●f
Sea
and
Land
Inhabited
by
Men
,
Women
,
●nd
Children
,
as
our
Earth
is
.
The
Pythagoreans
●
general
did
affirm
,
that
the
Moon
also
was
●errestrial
,
and
that
she
was
Inhabited
as
this
●ower
World
is
;
that
those
living
Creatures
and
●ants
which
are
in
her
,
exceed
any
of
the
like
●nd
with
us
in
the
same
proportion
,
and
that
their
●ays
are
longer
than
ours
by
fifteen
times
;
and
●his
Pythagoras
,
saith
Dr.
Wilkins
,
was
esteemed
a
●an
of
a
most
Divine
wit
.
To
this
Opinion
of
Pythagoras
did
the
great
Plato
assent
.
Thus
Lu●an
,
in
his
Jocular
Discourse
of
a
Journey
to
●he
Moon
;
in
the
beginning
of
it
he
doth
in
a
●rious
manner
intimate
that
there
is
a
real
World
●
the
Moon
,
and
that
there
is
an
excellent
Go●ernment
there
,
and
that
all
Creatures
there
live
●ost
happily
.
The
Cardinal
Cusanus
held
a
par●cular
World
in
every
Star
.
Keplar
likewise
●as
wholly
of
this
Opinion
,
that
there
is
a
World
●
the
Moon
,
and
he
professes
that
he
did
not
●ublish
this
Opinion
either
out
of
a
humour
of
●ontradiction
,
or
a
desire
of
vain-glory
,
or
in
a
●sting
way
to
make
himself
or
others
merry
,
●ut
after
a
considerate
and
solemn
manner
for
●e
discovery
of
the
Truth
.
That
there
are
high
Mountains
,
deep
Valleys
,
spacious
Plains
in
the
Moon
.
AND
here
,
kind
Reader
,
if
some
Rabbi
,
Chynick
were
to
handle
the
point
,
th●
would
first
prove
it
out
of
Scripture
,
from
t●
place
in
Moses
his
Blessing
,
where
he
speaks
the
Ancient
Mountains
and
lasting
Hills
,
Deut.
●
For
having
immediately
before
mentioned
th●
Blessings
which
should
befall
unto
Joseph
by
t●
Influence
of
the
Moon
,
he
does
presently
e●getically
iterate
them
in
Blessing
him
with
●
chief
things
of
the
Ancient
Mountains
and
l●ing
Hills
:
You
may
also
see
the
same
express●
used
in
Jacob's
Blessing
of
Joseph
.
But
farth●
as
to
Humane
Testimony
,
I
might
add
that
Diodorus
,
who
thought
the
Moon
to
be
full
huge
Hills
,
vast
Mountains
,
and
delightful
Plai●
Democritus
held
likewise
,
that
the
Moon
was
full
Champion
Grounds
,
Mountains
,
and
Valle●
Keplar
saith
,
that
there
are
very
tall
Mounta●
in
the
Moon
,
and
that
their
Inhabitants
are
m●
bigger
and
taller
than
ours
,
and
that
they
are
Naturally
of
a
very
dry
Constitution
,
and
t●
therefore
they
are
fain
to
dig
great
and
rou●
hollows
in
those
Mountains
,
where
they
may
b●
procure
Water
for
their
Thirst
,
and
get
places
shelter
themselves
.
As
to
the
Government
that
there
(
says
another
Author
)
it
is
as
good
as
e●
was
exercised
,
all
things
being
performed
af●
a
calm
and
gentle
manner
;
there
is
no
Hea●
Strife
,
or
Contention
,
and
never
any
there
go●
Law
,
but
every
one
there
strive
who
shall
most
Friendly
,
and
perform
the
greatest
Acts
Love
.
Of
the
Seasons
,
Meteors
,
Inhabitants
,
&c.
that
there
are
in
the
World
in
the
Moon
.
1.
Of
the
Seasons
.
AND
if
there
be
such
a
World
in
the
Moon
,
't
is
requisite
then
that
their
Seasons
should
be
some
way
correspondent
unto
ours
,
that
they
should
have
Winter
and
Summer
,
Night
and
Day
,
as
we
have
:
Their
Days
and
Years
are
always
of
one
and
the
same
length
.
Plutarch
says
,
that
those
who
live
there
may
discern
our
World
as
the
dregs
and
sediment
of
all
other
Creatures
,
appearing
to
them
through
Clouds
and
foggy
Mists
,
and
that
altogether
devoid
of
Light
,
and
that
the
Climate
is
very
hot
,
so
that
the
Inhabitants
there
might
well
imagine
the
dark
place
of
Damnation
to
be
here
Situate
,
and
that
they
only
were
the
Inhabitants
of
the
World
,
as
being
in
the
midst
between
Heaven
and
Hell
.
2.
Of
their
Meteors
.
And
now
,
kind
Reader
,
since
it
is
clear
that
they
in
this
New
World
have
all
things
alike
with
us
,
as
Sea
and
Land
,
and
Vaporous
Air
encompassing
both
,
I
am
verily
perswaded
that
Nature
there
doth
use
the
same
way
of
producing
Meteors
as
it
doth
here
;
and
why
may
not
the
Planet
;
there
have
the
like
Qualities
as
ours
hath
?
And
if
so
,
then
't
is
more
probable
that
they
are
made
by
the
ordinary
way
of
Nature
,
as
they
are
with
us
,
and
consist
of
such
Exhalations
from
the
Bodies
of
the
Planets
as
be
very
muc●
rarified
,
may
be
drawn
up
through
the
Orb
o●
gross
Vapours
,
as
Air
,
that
encompasses
them
▪
And
then
may
they
probably
have
all
sorts
o●
Meteors
,
as
we
have
here
.
3.
Of
the
Inhabitants
of
this
other
World
.
I
have
already
handled
the
Seasons
and
Meteors
belonging
to
this
New
World
,
't
is
requisite
that
in
the
next
place
that
I
say
something
of
the
Inhabitants
thereof
;
concerning
whom
there
might
be
many
difficult
Questions
raised
:
As
,
whether
that
place
be
more
inconvenient
for
Habitation
than
our
World
;
whether
they
are
the
Seed
of
Adam
,
whether
they
are
there
in
a
Blessed
state
,
or
else
what
means
there
may
be
for
their
Salvation
,
with
many
other
such
uncertain
Queries
,
which
I
shall
wholly
omit
,
leaving
it
to
their
examination
who
have
more
leisure
and
Learning
for
the
search
of
such
particulars
.
Yet
however
we
may
guess
in
the
general
that
there
are
some
Inhabitants
in
that
Planet
,
for
why
else
did
Providence
furnish
that
place
with
all
such
conveniencies
of
Habitation
,
as
hath
been
declared
?
Cardinal
de
Cusa
is
of
Opinion
,
that
this
place
is
Inhabited
by
Men
,
and
Beasts
,
and
Plants
.
To
him
assented
Campenella
,
but
he
cannot
determine
whether
they
are
Men
,
or
rather
some
other
kind
of
Creatures
;
if
they
were
Men
,
then
he
thinks
that
they
could
not
be
infected
with
Adam's
sin
;
yet
perhaps
,
says
he
,
they
might
have
some
of
their
own
,
which
might
make
them
Subject
to
Misery
.
Others
there
are
,
that
are
of
Opinion
,
that
there
are
abundance
of
Inhabitants
in
this
New
World
,
but
that
they
are
of
a
quite
different
Nature
from
us
here
below
.
Others
again
say
,
there
are
much
People
in
this
New
World
,
and
that
they
are
of
strange
Humours
and
Conceits
,
some
desiring
to
live
in
the
●ower
parts
of
the
Moon
,
where
they
might
look
●ownwards
upon
us
,
with
Taunts
,
Jeers
,
and
Derision
:
And
that
others
are
desirous
to
be
mounted
aloft
above
those
,
and
that
all
of
them
●hine
like
the
Rays
of
the
Sun
,
and
as
being
Victo●ious
,
are
Crowned
with
Garlands
made
with
the
Wings
of
Eustathia
,
or
Constancy
.
That
't
is
possible
to
find
out
a
conveyance
to
this
other
World
,
and
if
there
be
Inhabitants
there
,
to
have
Commerce
with
them
.
ALL
that
hath
been
said
concerning
the
People
of
the
New
World
is
but
conjectural
and
full
of
uncertainties
,
nor
can
we
look
for
any
more
probable
Discoveries
,
unless
there
be
some
hopes
of
inventing
means
for
our
conveyance
thither
.
Yea
,
but
you
will
say
,
there
can
be
no
Sailing
thither
,
unless
that
were
true
which
the
Poets
do
but
feign
:
And
we
have
now
no
Drake
or
Columbus
to
undertake
this
Voyage
,
or
any
Dedalus
to
invent
a
conveyance
through
the
Air
.
I
Answer
,
Though
we
have
not
yet
,
why
may
not
succeeding
Times
raise
some
Spirits
as
eminent
for
new
Attempts
and
strange
Inventions
as
any
that
were
before
them
?
And
't
is
the
Opinion
of
Keplar
,
that
Men
will
at
last
find
out
the
Art
of
Flying
,
by
which
they
may
in
a
days
time
transport
themselves
into
this
World
of
the
〈◇〉
.
But
here
's
an
Objection
.
Suppose
now
the
Art
of
Mens
Flying
we
found
out
,
and
that
he
could
fly
as
fast
and
lo●
as
the
swiftest
Bird
,
yet
,
say
you
,
it
cannot
p●sibly
be
conceived
how
he
should
ever
be
a●
to
pass
through
so
vast
a
distance
as
there
is
b●twixt
the
Moon
and
our
Earth
,
which
space
●
about
179712
Miles
:
So
that
though
a
Man
co●
constantly
keep
on
his
Journey
thither
by
●
straight
Line
,
though
he
could
fly
a
Thousan●
Miles
in
a
day
,
yet
he
could
not
arrive
thithe●
in
180
days
,
or
half
a
Year
.
1.
For
Diet
,
I
suppose
there
could
be
●
trusting
to
that
Fancy
of
Philo
the
Jew
(
me●tioned
before
)
who
thinks
that
the
Musick
●
the
Sphears
should
supply
the
strength
of
Foo●
Nor
can
we
well
perceive
,
how
a
Man
shoul●
be
able
to
carry
so
much
Luggage
with
him
,
●
might
serve
for
his
Viaticum
in
so
tedious
a
Journey
.
2.
But
if
he
could
,
yet
he
must
have
som●time
to
rest
and
sleep
in
;
no
Inns
to
Entertai●
Passengers
,
nor
any
Castles
in
the
Air
(
unle●
they
be
Inchanted
ones
)
to
Receive
poor
Pilgrims
or
Errant
Knights
;
and
so
consequently
h●
cannot
have
any
possible
hopes
of
reaching
thither
.
Notwithstanding
all
which
draughts
,
I
shal●
lay
down
this
Position
.
That
supposing
a
Ma●
could
fly
,
or
by
any
other
means
raise
himsel●
Twenty
Miles
upwards
,
or
thereabouts
,
it
were
possible
for
him
to
come
unto
the
Moon
.
But
here
if
it
be
enquired
what
means
there
may
be
used
for
our
ascending
up
into
this
New
World
,
in
order
to
have
Commerce
and
Correspondence
with
it
?
I
Answer
,
1.
It
is
not
perhaps
impossible
,
that
a
Man
●ight
be
able
to
fly
,
by
the
application
of
Wings
●o
his
own
Body
;
as
Angels
are
Pictured
,
as
Mer●ry
and
Daedalus
are
feigned
,
and
hath
been
at●empted
by
divers
,
particularly
by
a
Turk
in
●onstantinople
,
as
Busbequius
relates
.
2.
If
there
be
such
a
great
Ruck
in
Madagas●ar
,
as
Marcus
Polus
the
Venetian
mentions
,
the
●eathers
in
those
Wings
are
twelve
Foot
long
,
which
can
soop
up
a
Horse
and
his
Rider
,
or
an
●lephant
,
as
our
Kites
do
a
Mouse
;
why
then
it
●s
but
teaching
one
of
these
to
carry
a
Man
,
and
●e
may
Ride
up
thither
,
as
Ganymede
does
upon
●n
Eagle
.
3.
Or
if
neither
of
these
ways
will
serve
,
yet
●
do
seriously
and
upon
good
grounds
affirm
it
●ossible
to
make
a
flying
Chariot
,
in
which
a
Man
may
sit
,
and
give
such
a
motion
to
it
,
as
shall
convey
him
through
the
Air
:
And
this
perhaps
might
be
made
large
enough
to
carry
divers
Men
●t
the
same
time
,
together
with
Food
for
their
Viaticum
,
and
Commodities
for
Traffick
.
It
is
not
the
bigness
of
any
thing
in
this
kind
,
that
can
hinder
its
motion
,
if
the
motive
Faculty
be
answerable
thereunto
.
We
see
a
great
Ship
swims
as
well
as
a
small
Cork
,
and
an
Eagle
flies
●n
the
Air
as
well
as
a
Gnat
.
This
Engine
may
be
continued
from
the
same
Principles
by
which
Archytas
made
a
Wooden
Dove
,
and
Regiomontanus
a
Wooden
Eagle
.
I
conceive
it
were
no
difficult
matter
(
if
a
Man
had
leisure
)
to
shew
more
particularly
the
means
of
composing
it
.
The
perfecting
of
such
an
Invention
would
be
of
such
excellent
Use
,
that
it
were
enough
,
not
only
to
make
a
Man
Famous
,
but
the
Age
al●
wherein
he
lives
:
For
besides
the
strange
Di●coveries
that
it
might
occasion
in
this
oth●
World
,
it
would
be
also
of
inconceivable
A●vantage
for
Travelling
,
above
any
other
Co●venience
that
is
now
in
Use
.
So
that
notwithstanding
all
these
seeming
impossibilities
,
't
is
likely
enough
,
that
there
ma●
be
means
invented
of
Journeying
to
the
Moon
and
how
happy
shall
they
be
that
are
first
successful
in
this
Attempt
?

Having
thus
finished
this
Discourse
,
I
chance●
upon
a
late
Fancy
to
this
purpose
under
th●
feigned
Name
of
Domingo
Gonsales
,
written
by
●
Learned
and
Reverend
Bishop
:
In
which
(
besides
sundry
particulars
,
wherein
this
latter
Chapter
did
unwittingly
agree
with
it
)
there
is
delivered
a
pleasant
and
well
contrived
Fancy
concerning
a
Voyage
to
this
other
World
.
He
supposeth
there
is
a
Natural
and
usual
Passage
for
many
Creatures
betwixt
our
Earth
and
this
Planet
.
Thus
he
says
,
those
great
multitudes
of
Locusts
,
wherewith
divers
Countreys
have
been
destroyed
,
do
proceed
from
thence
:
And
if
we
peruse
the
Authors
who
treat
of
them
,
we
shall
find
that
many
times
they
fly
in
numberless
Troops
or
Swarms
,
and
for
sundry
days
together
before
they
fall
,
are
seen
over
those
places
in
great
high
Clouds
,
such
as
coming
nearer
,
are
of
extension
enough
to
obscure
the
day
,
and
hinder
the
light
of
the
Sun.
From
which
,
to●ether
with
divers
other
such
relations
,
he
con●ludes
,
that
't
is
not
altogether
improbable
they
●ould
proceed
from
the
Moon
.
Thus
likewise
●e
supposeth
the
Swallows
,
Cuckows
,
Nighting●ales
,
with
divers
other
Fowl
,
which
are
with
us
●nly
half
a
year
,
to
fly
up
thither
when
they
go
●rom
us
;
amongst
which
kind
,
there
is
a
wild
●wan
in
the
East-Indies
,
which
at
certain
seasons
of
the
year
,
do
constantly
take
their
flight
thi●hither
.
Now
this
Bird
being
of
a
great
strength
,
●ble
to
continue
for
a
long
flight
,
as
also
usually
●n
flocks
like
our
wilk
Geese
,
he
supposeth
,
that
many
of
them
together
might
be
thought
to
car●y
the
weight
of
a
man
,
especially
if
an
Engine
were
so
contrived
(
as
he
thinks
it
might
)
that
each
of
them
should
bear
an
equal
share
in
the
Burthen
.
So
that
by
this
means
't
is
easily
conceivable
,
how
once
every
year
a
man
might
finish
such
a
Voyage
going
along
with
these
Birds
in
the
middle
of
Winter
,
and
again
returning
with
them
at
the
Spring
.
And
here
,
a
one
that
had
a
strong
phansie
,
were
better
able
to
set
forth
the
benefit
and
pleasure
of
such
a
Journey
.
And
that
when
you
consider
the
strangeness
of
the
persons
Language
,
Art
,
Policy
,
Religion
of
those
Inhabitants
,
together
with
the
new
Traffick
that
might
be
brought
from
thence
.
In
brief
,
do
but
consider
the
pleasure
and
profit
of
those
later
Discoveries
in
America
,
and
we
must
needs
conclude
this
to
be
inconceivable
beyond
it
.
But
such
Imaginations
as
these
I
shall
leave
to
the
phansie
of
the
Reader
.

Men
before
Adam
.
THE
false
suggester
who
asserts
,
that
there
were
men
before
Adam
,
doth
insinuate
his
Poison
to
deceive
unthinking
people
in
the
following
manner
(
and
I
l'e
recite
his
own
words
verbatim
that
their
Erroneousness
may
the
better
appear
)
viz.
Nor
do
I
much
wonder
(
saies
he
)
that
Interpreters
,
handling
these
Verses
of
the
Apostle
have
not
been
successful
in
the
explaining
of
them
,
for
they
were
every
way
streightned
in
the
expounding
of
these
words
,
until
the
Law
,
for
that
Law
was
either
to
be
understood
of
the
Law
given
to
Moses
,
or
of
the
Law
given
to
Adam
:
If
that
Law
were
understood
of
the
Law
given
to
Moses
,
it
must
needs
be
affirmed
,
that
sin
was
in
the
World
before
Moses
,
and
until
Moses
;
but
that
sin
was
not
imputed
before
Moses
,
if
that
Law
were
understood
of
the
Law
given
to
Adam
,
it
must
be
held
,
that
sin
was
in
the
World
before
Adam
,
and
until
Adam
;
but
that
sin
was
not
imputed
before
therefore
other
men
were
to
be
allowed
before
,
Adam
,
who
indeed
had
sinn'd
,
but
without
imputation
;
because
before
the
Law
sins
were
not
imputed
.
The
Interpreters
being
between
two
such
inconveniences
,
were
at
a
stand
,
nor
did
know
which
way
to
turn
themselves
,
but
because
it
seemed
less
prejudicial
to
affirm
,
that
sins
were
not
imputed
before
Moses
,
and
until
Moses
,
than
to
affirm
,
that
there
were
any
other
men
either
created
or
begotten
before
Adam
,
therefore
they
preferred
the
first
inconvenience
before
the
second
.
The
Interpreters
rejected
those
fabulous
men
,
which
were
to
be
believed
to
have
gone
before
Adam
.
But
if
my
Teachers
will
give
me
leave
,
I
l'e
try
whether
the
Exposition
of
these
words
to
the
Law
be
not
rather
to
be
understood
of
the
Law
given
to
Adam
:
I
do
not
deny
,
but
to
the
first
view
to
affirm
,
that
there
were
Men
before
Adam
,
seems
to
trouble
some
mens
Consciences
,
not
to
ease
them
,
for
people
who
are
given
to
venerable
Antiquity
will
fear
and
startle
at
the
very
mention
,
nay
,
at
the
very
Thought
of
such
a
strange
thing
.
And
I
know
very
well
how
dearly
he
suffered
,
who
proved
,
that
there
were
A●tipodes
,
and
Hermisphere
;
opposite
to
the
Diameters
of
our
World
.
But
it
is
not
now
,
as
it
was
then
,
being
born
in
a
better
Age
,
and
with
better
Fortune
;
I
pray
God
to
prevent
such
hatred
.
And
therefore
what
I
have
studied
upon
this
Argument
,
That
there
were
men
before
Adam
,
I
shall
offer
to
you
in
the
following
Essay
.
First
then
,
I
say
,
that
so
much
the
rather
I
gave
my self
to
the
finding
out
Men
before
Adam
,
because
I
thought
there
could
from
hence
arise
no
inconvenience
which
is
by
the
Gospel
;
for
I
thought
the
same
would
be
the
Fate
of
this
Tenet
among
Divines
,
as
is
of
that
of
the
motion
of
the
Earth
to
Astronomers
,
for
whether
we
think
the
Heavens
turn
round
,
or
the
Earth
turn
over
,
yet
the
Day
and
Night
perpetually
take
their
turns
,
and
all
the
seasons
of
the
year
return
at
their
just
times
,
Corn
flourishes
in
the
Spring
,
which
ripens
in
the
Summer
:
Wines
are
prest
in
the
Autum
,
which
are
cleared
in
the
Winter
.
Likewise
whether
we
think
that
Adam
was
created
alone
,
and
that
he
was
first
of
all
men
,
or
believe
that
there
were
men
before
him
,
all
your
Religion
keeps
its
own
place
,
for
the
ground
of
our
Redemption
consists
in
this
,
That
we
believe
all
men
to
have
been
c●
〈…〉
●dam
.
But
now
that
the
Antitype
betwixt
our
Saviour
&
Adam
,
may
more
perfectly
relate
,
it
will
certainly
be
more
convenient
to
affirm
,
that
there
were
men
before
Adam
for
that
same
Reason
that
Christ
was
not
the
last
of
all
men
:
I
say
it
will
be
more
convenient
to
affirm
,
that
that
imputation
from
the
sin
of
Adam
was
returned
upon
those
men
which
were
before
Adam
,
according
to
that
Reason
by
which
the
imputation
of
Christ
(
by
which
we
are
freed
from
the
sin
of
Adam
,
was
returned
upon
those
men
which
were
before
Christ
.
And
we
have
reason
to
believe
that
Adam
)
was
not
the
first
man
that
was
made
,
for
Holy
Writ
(
saies
this
Author
)
never
affirms
it
,
nor
ever
intends
it
,
nay
,
whence
the
contrary
is
gathered
ou●
of
it
,
whence
we
may
easily
conjecture
,
that
there
were
men
before
Adam
.
Moreover
from
this
Tenet
,
which
asserts
men
to
have
been
before
Adam
,
the
History
of
Genesis
appears
in
my
oppinion
much
clearer
,
and
agrees
better
with
it self
,
and
further
,
this
really
agrees
with
all
prophane
Records
,
whether
Ancient
or
New
,
to
wit
,
those
of
the
Chaldeans
,
Egyptians
,
Scythians
and
Chinesians
.
And
lastly
,
that
men
were
created
before
Adam
,
may
be
gathered
both
from
the
Northern
and
Southern
Nations
,
all
whom
as
likewise
those
of
the
first
,
and
most
ancient
Creation
were
created
with
the
Earth
it self
in
all
its
parts
thereof
,
and
not
propagated
from
Adam
.
And
now
I
think
it
doth
clearly
appear
by
what
hath
been
said
(
saies
this
erroneous
Author
)
That
there
were
men
before
Adam
.
Concerning
Fire
Drakes
.
FLying
Dragons
,
or
as
English
men
call
them
,
fire
Drakes
,
because
on
this
manner
,
when
a
certain
quanity
of
vapours
gathered
together
on
a
heap
,
being
very
near
compact
;
and
as
it
were
hand
tempered
together
,
this
Lump
of
vapours
ascending
to
the
Region
of
Cold
,
is
forci●ly
beaten
back
,
which
violence
of
moving
is
sufficient
to
kindle
it
,
although
some
men
will
have
●t
to
be
caused
between
two
clouds
,
a
hot
,
and
●
cold
;
then
the
highest
part
which
was
clim●ng
upward
,
being
by
reason
subtile
and
thin
,
appeareth
as
the
Dragons
neck
Smoaking
;
for
that
●t
was
lately
in
the
repulse
,
bowed
or
made
crooked
,
to
represent
the
Dragons
Belly
,
the
last
part
by
the
same
repulse
turned
upward
,
maketh
the
tail
appearing
smaller
,
for
that
it
is
both
further
off
,
and
also
for
that
the
cold
bindeth
it
.
This
Dragon
,
thus
being
caused
,
flyeth
a
long
in
the
Air
;
and
sometimes
turneth
to
and
fro
if
it
meet
with
●
cloud
to
beat
it
back
,
to
the
great
terror
of
●hem
that
behold
it
,
of
whom
some
call
it
a
Fire-Drake
:
some
say
it
is
the
Devil
himself
;
and
so
make
report
to
others
.
Of
Will
with
the
Whisp
,
or
Ignus
Fatuus
.
THere
is
also
a
kind
of
Light
that
is
seen
in
the
Night
season
,
and
seemeth
to
go
before
Men
,
or
to
follow
them
,
leading
them
out
of
their
way
into
Waters
;
and
other
dangerous
places
.
It
is
very
often
seen
in
the
Night
,
of
them
that
Sail
on
the
Sea
,
and
sometime
will
cleave
to
the
Mast
of
the
Ship
,
or
other
high
parts
sometimes
slide
round
about
the
Ship
,
and
either
rest
in
one
part
till
it
go
out
,
or
else
be
quenched
in
the
Water
.
This
impression
seen
on
the
Land
,
is
called
in
Latin
Ignis
Fatuus
,
foolish
Fire
,
that
hurteth
not
;
but
only
feareth
souls
:
that
which
is
seen
on
the
Sea
,
if
it
be
but
one
,
is
na●ed
Helena
,
if
it
be
two
,
it
is
called
Castor
and
Pollux
.
Of
many
Suns
.
IT
is
strange
and
Marvellous
to
behold
the
likelihood
of
that
which
Alexander
the
great
,
sending
word
to
Datius
;
said
to
be
impossible
,
that
two
Suns
should
rule
the
World
.
But
oftentimes
men
have
seen
as
they
thought
,
in
the
Firmament
not
only
two
Suns
,
but
oftener
three
Suns
,
and
many
other
in
number
tho
not
so
often
appearing
.
These
how
wonderful
soever
they
appear
proceed
of
a
natural
cause
,
which
we
will
endeavour
to
express
:
they
are
nothing
else
but
Idols
or
Images
of
the
Sun
,
representing
in
an
equal
Smooth
,
and
watry
clouds
,
placed
on
the
sides
of
the
Sun
,
and
sometimes
on
both
side
;
into
which
the
Sun
beams
,
being
received
as
in
a
glass
,
express
the
likeness
of
fashion
and
light
that
is
in
the
Sun
,
appearing
tho
there
were
many
Suns
,
whereas
indeed
there
is
but
one
and
all
the
rest
are
Images
.
Of
many
Moons
.
AFter
the
treaty
of
many
Suns
,
it
were
not
hard
for
any
man
without
farther
instruction
,
to
know
the
natural
cause
of
many
Moons
;
for
they
are
likewise
Images
of
the
Moon
,
represented
in
an
equal
cloud
,
which
is
a
Watry
Smooth
,
and
polished
even
like
a
Glass
:
some
call
them
(
as
Plinius
saith
)
night
Suns
,
because
they
joyned
with
the
Light
of
the
true
Moon
,
give
a
great
shining
Light
to
drive
away
the
shadow
and
darkness
of
the
Night
,
it
were
superfluous
to
write
more
of
their
causes
or
effects
,
which
are
all
one
with
those
that
have
been
declared
of
the
Suns
.
It
may
be
doubted
why
other
stars
do
not
likewise
express
their
Image
in
Watry
clouds
,
and
so
the
number
of
them
as
to
our
sight
should
be
multiplyed
?
It
may
be
answerd
that
their
light
or
beams
are
too
feeble
and
week
,
to
express
any
such
similitude
or
likeness
in
the
Watry
clouds
,
for
altho
they
have
Garlands
or
Circles
about
them
,
that
are
caused
in
no
power
that
is
under
them
,
yet
it
is
manifest
that
this
apparition
hath
not
need
of
so
strong
a
light
,
as
is
required
to
print
the
Images
of
them
in
the
clouds
.
Again
,
the
Garlands
are
direct
under
,
and
therefore
apter
to
receive
such
apparition
.
Of
being
drunk
once
a
Month
.
THat
it
is
good
to
be
drunk
once
a
month
is
a
common
flattery
of
sensuality
,
supporting
it self
upon
physick
the
healthful
effects
of
inebriation
,
this
indeed
seems
plainly
affirm'd
by
Avicenna
a
physitian
,
of
great
authority
,
and
whose
religion
prohibtiting
him
could
least
extenuate
ebriety
,
but
Averroes
a
man
restraining
his
ebriety
unto
Ailurity
and
in
effect
,
making
no
more
thereof
then
Seneca
commendeth
,
and
was
allowable
in
Cato
,
that
is
a
sober
incalescence
and
a
regulated
Aestuation
from
Wine
,
or
what
may
be
conceived
between
Joseph
and
his
Brethren
;
when
the
text
expresseth
they
were
merry
or
drank
largly
,
and
whereby
indeed
the
commodities
set
down
by
Avicenna
,
that
is
alleviation
of
Spirits
,
resolution
of
superfluities
,
provocation
of
sweat
and
uri●●
,
may
also
ensue
,
but
as
for
Dementation
sopicion
of
reason
and
the
diviner
particle
from
drink
;
though
American
religion
approve
,
and
Pagan
piety
of
old
,
hath
practised
even
at
their
Hilarity
Christian
morality
,
and
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
will
not
allow
,
and
surely
that
Religion
which
excuseth
the
fact
of
Noah
,
in
the
aged
surprizal
of
600
years
,
and
unexpected
in
ebriation
from
the
unknown
effects
of
Wine
,
till
nether
acquit
ebriosity
nor
ebriety
in
their
known
and
intended
perversions
.
Rem●rkable
Passages
concerning
Monsters
,
&c.
IT
is
the
constant
design
of
provident
Nature
to
produce
that
which
is
perfect
and
complete
in
its
kind
:
But
though
Man
is
the
noblest
part
of
her
operation
,
and
that
she
is
busied
about
the
framing
of
him
,
with
singular
curiosity
and
industry
;
yet
are
there
sundry
variations
in
her
mintage
,
and
some
even
humane
medals
,
come
out
thence
with
different
Errata's
in
their
Impressions
.
The
best
of
Archers
do
not
always
bore
the
white
;
the
working
brains
of
the
ablest
Politicians
,
have
sometimes
suffered
an
abortion
,
nor
are
we
willing
to
bury
their
accidental
misses
,
in
the
memory
of
their
former
skilful
performances
.
If
therefore
Nature
(
through
a
penury
,
or
superfluity
of
matreials
,
or
other
couses
)
hath
been
so
unfortunate
as
at
sometimes
to
miscarry
;
her
Dexterity
and
Artifice
,
in
the
composition
of
many
,
ought
to
procure
her
a
pardon
for
such
oversights
as
she
hath
committed
in
a
few
.
Besides
there
is
oftentimes
so
much
of
ingenuity
in
her
very
disorders
,
an
they
are
dispos'd
with
such
a
kind
of
happy
unhappiness
,
that
if
her
more
perfect
works
beget
in
us
much
delight
;
the
other
may
affect
us
with
equal
wonder
.

That
is
strange
which
is
related
by
Buchanan
;
It
had
saith
he
beneath
the
Navel
one
body
;
but
above
it
two
distinct
ones
;
when
hurt
beneath
the
Navel
both
bodies
felt
the
pain
;
if
above
,
that
body
only
felt
,
that
was
hurt
.
These
two
would
sometimes
differ
in
opinions
and
quarrel
,
the
one
dying
before
the
other
,
the
surviving
pin'd
away
by
degrees
.
It
liv'd
28
years
,
could
speak
divers
Languages
,
and

command

Anno
1538.
There
was
one
born
who
grew
up
to
the
stature
of
a
Man
,
he
was
double
as
to
the
Head
and
Shoulders
,
in
such
manner
as
that
one
face
stood
opposite
to
the
other
;
both
were
of
a
likeness
,
and
resembled
each
other
in
the
beard
and
eyes
,
both
had
the
same
appetite
,
and
both
hungred
alike
,
the
voice
of
both
was
almost
the
same
,
and
both
loved
the
same
Wife
.
3.
I
saw
(
saith
Bartholinus
)
Lazarus
Colloredo
the
Genoan
,
first
at
Hafnia
,
after
at
Basil
,
when
he
was
28
years
of
Age
;
but
in
both
places
with
amazement
.
This
Lazarus
had
a
little
Brother
growing
out
at
his
Breast
,
who
was
in
that
posture
born
with
him
.
If
I
mistake
not
,
the
bone
called
Xyphoides
in
both
of
them
grew
together
,
his
left
foot
along
hung
downwards
,
he
had
two
arms
,
only
three
fingers
upon
each
hand
:
some
appearance
there
was
of
the
secret
parts
;
he
moved
his
hands
,
ears
,
and
lips
,
and
had
a
little
beating
in
the
breast
.
This
little
Brother
voided
no
excrements
,
but
by
the
mouth
,
nose
,
and
ears
,
and
is
nourish'd
by
that
which
the
greater
takes
:
he
has
distinct
animal
and
vital
parts
from
the
greater
;
since
he
sleeps
,
sweats
,
and
moves
,
when
the
other
wakes
,
rests
,
and
sweats
not
.
Both
receiv'd
their
Names
at
the
Font
,
the
greater
that
of
Lazarus
,
and
the
other
that
of
Johannes
Baptista
.
The
natural
Bowels
,
as
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
&c.
are
the
same
in
both
.
Johannes
Baptista
hath
his
eyes
for
the
most
part
shut
;
his
breath
small
,
so
that
holding
a
Feather
at
his
mouth
,
it
scarce
moves
;
but
holding
the
hand
there
,
we
find
a
small
and
warm
breath
;
his
mouth
is
usually
open
,
and
always
wet
with
spittle
;
his
head
is
bigger
than
that
of
Lazarus
,
but
deform'd
;
his
hair
hanging
down
while
his
face
is
in
an
upward
posture
.
Both
have
beards
,
Baptista's
neglected
,
but
that
of
Lazarus
very
●eat
.
Lazarus
is
of
a
just
stature
,
a
decent
body
,
courteous
deportment
,
and
gallantly
attir'd
;
he
covers
the
body
of
his
Brother
with
his
Cloak
;
nor
could
you
think
a
Monster
lay
within
,
at
your
first
discourse
with
him
.
He
seemed
always
of
a
constant
mind
,
unless
that
now
and
then
he
was
solicitous
as
to
this
end
,
for
he
feared
the
death
of
his
Brother
;
as
presaging
that
when
that
came
to
pass
he
should
also
expire
,
with
the
stink
and
putrefaction
of
his
body
;
and
thereupon
he
took
greater
care
of
his
Brother
than
of
himself
.

Lemnius
tells
of
a
Monster
,
that
certain
Woman
was
deliver'd
of
(
to
which
Woman
he
himself
was
Physician
,
and
present
at
the
sight
)
which
at
the
appearing
of
the
day
fill'd
all
the
Chamber
with
roaring
and
crying
,
running
all
about
,
to
find
some
hole
to
creep
into
:
but
the
Women
at
the
length
stifled
and
smother'd
it
with
pillows
.
5.
Johannes
Naborowsky
a
noble
Polonian
,
and
my
great
friend
,
told
me
at
Basil
,
that
he
had
seen
in
his
Countrey
,
two
little
Fishes
without
Scales
,
which
were
brought
forth
by
a
Woman
,
and
as
soon
as
they
came
out
of
her
Womb
,
did
swim
in
the
Water
as
other
Fish
.
6.
Not
many
years
ago
,
there
liv'd
a
Woman
of
good
quality
at
Elsingorn
,
who
being
satisfied
in
her
count
,
prepared
all
things
for
child-birth
;
hired
a
Mid-wife
,
bought
a
Cradle
,
&c.
but
her
big
belly
in
the
last
Month
seemed
to
be
much
fallen
,
which
yet
(
not
to
lessen
the
report
that
went
of
her
)
she
kept
up
to
the
former
height
by
the
advantage
of
cloaths
which
she
wore
upon
it
.
Her
time
of
Travail
being
come
,
and
the
usual
pains
of
labour
going
before
;
she
was
deliver'd
of
a
creature
,
very
like
unto
a
dormouse
of
the
greater
size
,
which
(
to
the
amazement
of
the
Women
who
were
present
)
with
marvellous
celerity
sought
out
and
found
a
hole
in
the
Chamber
,
into
which
it
crept
,
and
was
never
seen
after
.
I
will
not
render
the
credit
of
these
Women
suspected
,
seeing
divers
persons
have
made
us
Relation
of
very
strange
and
monstrous
Births
,
from
their
own
experience
.
Of
some
such
Persons
as
have
renew'd
their
Age
,
and
grown
young
again
.
IT
is
the
fiction
of
the
Poets
,
that
Medae
a
was
a
Witch
,
that
she
boyled
men
in
a
Cauldron
,
with
I
know
not
what
powerful
ingredients
,
till
such
time
as
she
had
restored
the
Aged
unto
Youth
again
.
The
truth
was
,
that
being
a
Prudent
Woman
,
by
continued
Exercise
and
hard
Labours
in
hot
places
;
she
restored
those
to
health
,
who
were
soft
and
effeminate
,
and
had
corrupted
their
bodies
by
idleness
and
sloth
.
Much
may
be
done
this
way
to
preserve
the
body
in
its
useful
vigor
and
firmness
;
and
to
prevent
those
Dilapidations
and
Mines
;
which
an
unactive
life
usually
brings
upon
a
man
.

That
worthy
person
,
D
,
Pieruccius
,
a
Lawer
of
Padua
,
and
Host
to
the
great
Scioppus
,
did
assure
me
,
that
a
certain
German
,
then
living
in
Italy
,
had
at
sixty
years
of
age
recover'd
to
himself
,
both
new
Teeth
and
black
Hair
,
and
had
extended
his
life
to
a
great
many
years
,
with
the
only
use
of
an
extract
of
black
Hellebore
,
with
Wine
and
Roses

Alexander
Benedictus
tells
of
Victoria
Fabrianensis

anew

Torquemada
assures
us
,
that
being
at
Rome
about
the
year
1531.
it
was
bruited
throughout
Italy
;
that
at
Tarentum
there
liv'd
an
old
man
,
who
at
the
age
of
an
hundred
years
,
was
grown
young
again
;
he
had
chang'd
his
skin
like
unto
the
Snake
,
and
had
recovered
a
new
being
,
withall
he
was
become
so
young
and
fresh
,
that
those
who
had
seen
him
before
could
then
scarce
believe
their
own
eyes
,
and
having
continued
above
fifty
year
in
this
Estate
,
he
grew
at
length
to
be
so
old
,
as
he
seemed
to
be
made
of
Barks
of
Trees
;
whereunto
he
further
adds
,
another
story
of
the
like
Nature
.

Ferdinand
Lopez
of
Castegnede
,
Historiographer
to
the
King
of
Portugal
,
in
the
eighth
Book
of
his
Chronicle
relateth
,
that
Nonnio
de
Cugne
,
being
Viceroy
at
the
Indies
.
In
the
year
1536.
there
was
a
man
brought
unto
him
,
as
a
thing
worthy
of
admiration
;
for
thae
it
was
avered
by
good
proofs
,
and
sufficient
Testimony
,
that
he
was
three
hundred
and
forty
years
old
.
He
remembred
that
he
had
seen
that
City
,
wherein
he
dwelt
unpeopled
,
being
then
when
he
spake
it
one
of
the
chiefest
Cities
in
all
the
East
Indies
.
He
had
grown
young
again
four
times
,
changing
his
white
Hair
,
and
recovering
his
new
Teeth
;
when
the
Viceroy
did
see
him
,
he
then
had
the
Hair
of
his
Head
and
Beard
black
;
although
he
had
not
much
:
and
there
being
by
chance
a
Physician
,
at
the
time
present
;
the
Viceroy
willed
him
to
feel
the
old
mans
Pulse
,
which
he
found
as
good
and
as
strong
,
as
a
young
man
in
the
prime
of
his
age
.
This
man
wa●
born
in
the
Realm
of
Bengala
,
and
did
affirm
,
that
he
hadat
times
near
seven
hundred
Wives
,
whereof
some
were
dead
,
and
some
were
put
away
.
The
King
of
Portugal
being
advertiz'd
of
this
wonder
,
did
often
enquire
,
and
had
yearly
news
of
him
by
the
Fleet
,
which
came
from
thence
;
he
liv'd
above
three
hundred
and
seventy
years
.

I
have
heard
it
credibly
reported
,
by
those
who
were
eye-witnesses
,
how
a
Gentleman
,
long
desperately
sick
,
was
restor'd
by
these
means
to
health
with
more
than
accustomed
vigor
;
his
grey
hairs
,
whereof
he
had
many
,
falling
all
from
his
head
;
and
so
continuing
for
seven
years
after
.
Of
the
Imegination
or
Phantasle
.
IMagination
the
work
of
Fancy
,
saith
Dr.
Fuller
,
oftentimes
produces
real
effects
,
and
this
he
confirms
by
a
pleasanter
instance
than
some
of
these
that
follow
.
1.
A
Gentleman
had
lead
a
company
of
children
into
the
Fields
beyond
their
wonted
walk
,
and
they
being
now
weary
,
cried
to
him
to
carry
them
.
The
Gentleman
not
able
to
carry
them
●all
,
relieved
himself
with
this
device
,
he
said
he
would
provide
them
Horses
to
ride
home
with
,
and
furnished
himself
and
them
with
Geldings
out
of
the
next
Hedge
:
the
success
was
(
saith
my
Author
)
that
mounted
fancy
put
metal
into
their
Legs
,
and
they
came
cheerfully
home
.
2.
There
was
one
who
fell
into
a
vain
imagination
that
he
was
perpetually
frozen
;
and
therefore
in
the
very
Dog-days
continually
sate
near
the
Fire
,
crying
out
that
he
should
never
be
warm
,
unless
his
whole
body
should
be
set
on
fire
:
and
whereas
by
stealth
he
would
cast
himself
into
the
fire
,
he
was
bound
in
chains
in
a
seat
near
the
fire
,
where
he
sat
night
and
day
,
not
able
to
sleep
by
reason
of
this
foolish
fancy
:
when
all
the
counsels
of
his
Friends
were
in
vain
,
I
took
this
course
for
his
cure
,
I
wrapped
him
in
Sheepskins
from
head
to
foot
,
the
wooll
was
upon
them
,
which
I
had
well
wetted
with
Aqua
Vitae
;
and
thus
dressed
,
I
set
him
at
once
all
on
fire
;
he
burnt
thus
for
half
an
hour
,
when
dancing
and
leaping
,
he
cryed
out
he
was
now
well
,
and
rather
too
hot
:
by
this
means
his
former
f●ncy
vanished
,
and
he
in
a
few
days
was
perfectly
well
.
3.
A
Noble
Person
in
Portugal
fell
into
this
melancholy
imagination
,
that
he
continually
cryed
out
,
God
would
never
pardon
his
sins
.
In
this
agony
he
continued
pensive
,
and
wasted
away
,
various
prescriptions
in
Physick
were
used
to
no
purpose
,
as
also
all
kinds
of
Divertisements
and
other
means
.
At
last
we
made
use
of
this
Artifice
,
his
Chamber
door
being
locked
,
about
midnight
at
the
Roof
of
his
Chamber
(
we
had
stripped
off
the
tile
for
that
purpose
)
there
appeared
an
artificial
Angel
,
having
a
drawn
Sword
in
his
right
,
and
a
lighted
torch
in
his
left
hand
,
who
called
him
by
his
name
,
he
straight
rose
from
his
Bed
,
and
adored
the
Angel
,
which
he
saw
cloathed
in
white
,
and
of
a
beautiful
aspect
he
listned
attentively
to
the
Angel
,
who
told
him
all
his
sins
were
forgiven
,
and
so
extinguished
his
Torch
and
said
no
more
.
The
poor
Man
overjoyed
,
knocked
with
great
violence
at
the
door
,
raises
the
House
,
tells
them
all
that
had
passed
;
and
as
soon
as
it
was
day
,
sent
for
his
Physicians
,
and
relates
all
to
them
,
who
congratulated
his
felicity
,
calling
him
a
righteous
person
.
He
soon
after
fell
to
his
meat
,
slept
quietly
,
perform'd
all
the
offices
of
a
sound
man
,
and
from
thence
forth
never
felt
any
thing
of
his
former
indisposition
.
Anno
Dom
.
1610.
attending
upon
my
Prince
at
Prague
,
as
his
Physician
,
it
fell
out
,
that
upon
the
eighteenth
of
July
there
was
born
a
boy
,
whose
Liver
,
Intestines
,
Stomach
,
Spleen
,
with
great
part
of
the
Mesentery
,
hung
out
all
naked
below
his
Navel
.
He
lived
but
a
few
hours
,
and
then
with
misery
enough
exchanged
that
life
for
death
which
he
had
newly
begun
.
If
any
demand
the
reason
of
so
monstrous
a
deformity
,
he
shall
find
no
other
than
the
imagination
of
the
Mother
,
who
being
asked
by
Doctor
Major
and
my self
,
whether
happily
she
had
not
given
some
occasion
to
such
a
Birth
,
she
answered
with
tears
,
that
three
Months
before
her
delivery
,
she
was
constrain'd
by
some
Souldiers
to
be
present
at
the
killing
of
a
Calf
,
at
the
opening
of
it
she
felt
an
extraordinary
motion
in
her self
,
when
she
saw
how
the
bowels
came
tumbling
down
from
the
Belly
.
5.
In
the
same
City
of
Prague
,
much
about
the
same
time
there
was
the
like
,
if
not
a
greater
miracle
of
nature
:
a
woman
was
delivered
of
a
Son
,
who
was
born
with
his
foreskin
cut
and
inverted
;
and
this
came
to
pass
through
the
vehement
imagination
of
the
Mother
,
who
three
weeks
before
she
fell
in
travel
,
had
listned
very
attentively
to
a
Guest
in
her
House
,
who
discoursed
,
and
exactly
described
the
manner
of
the
Jewish
Circumcision
,
at
one
of
which
he
had
that
morning
been
present
.
I
may
be
an
eye-witness
of
this
,
for
I
was
brought
by
Kepler
the
great
Mathematician
,
to
behold
that
Boy
who
was
then
two
years
of
age
.
6.
Gulielmus
Fabricius
relates
a
notable
History
to
this
purpose
;
thus
,
Anno
1600
,
an
honest
Matron
in
Rol
near
the
Lemane
Lake
,
at
the
beginning
of
the
second
month
from
her
conception
,
chanced
to
pass
by
the
Image
of
a
Crucifix
,
and
looking
over
curiously
and
intentively
upon
the
broken
and
distorted
Legs
of
the
Thief
that
hung
on
the
left
side
,
she
was
therewith
so
mov'd
and
affected
,
that
at
the
end
of
her
time
she
was
delivered
of
a
Girl
who
was
deform'd
in
her
right
Leg
,
after
the
same
manner
as
she
had
beheld
in
the
Thief
.
Of
such
as
having
been
extreme
Wild
and
Prodigal
,
or
Debauched
in
their
Youth
,
have
afterwards
proved
excellent
Persons
.
THose
Bodies
are
usually
the
most
healthful
that
break
out
in
their
youth
;
and
many
times
the
Souls
of
some
men
prove
the
sounder
,
for
having
vented
themselves
in
their
younger
days
.
Commonly
none
are
greater
enemies
to
Vice
,
than
such
as
formerly
have
been
the
slaves
of
it
,
and
have
been
so
fortunate
as
to
break
their
Chain
,
and
recover
their
liberty
.
A
certain
blackness
in
the
Cradle
has
been
observed
to
give
beginning
and
rise
unto
the
most
perfect
Beauties
;
and
there
are
no
sort
of
men
that
have
shined
with
greater
Glory
in
the
World
,
than
such
whose
first
days
have
been
sullied
and
a
little
overcast
.

C.
Valerius
Flaccus
(
in
the
time
of
the
second
Punick
War
)
began
his
youth
in
a
most
profuse
kind
of
luxury
:
afterwards
he
was
created
Flamine
by
P.
Licinius
the
chief
Pontiff
,
that
in
that
employment
he
might
find
an
easier
recess
from
such
Vices
as
he
was
infected
with
;
addressing
his
mind
therefore
to
the
care
of
Ceremonies
and
sacred
things
,
he
made
Religion
his
Guide
to
Frugality
:
and
in
process
of
time
shewed
himself
as
great
an
example
of
Sanctity
and
Modesty
;
as
before
he
had
been
of
Luxury
and
Prodigality

Nicholas
West
was
born
at
Putney
in
Surrey
,
bred
first
at
Eaton
,
then
at
Kings
College
in
Cambridge
,
where
when
a
youth
he
was
a
Rakehel
in
grain
;
for
something
crossing
him
in
the
College
,
he
could
find
no
other
way
to
work
his
revenge
,
than
by
secret
setting
on
fire
the
Master's
Lodgings
,
part
whereof
he
burnt
to
the
ground
.
Immediately
after
this
little
Herostratus
left
the
College
,
liv'd
for
a
time
in
the
Country
,
debauched
enough
for
his
conversation
.
But
he
seasonably
retrenched
his
wildness
,
turned
hard
Student
,
became
an
excellent
Scholar
,
and
most
able
Statesman
,
and
after
smaller
promotions
was
at
last
made
Bishop
of
Ely
,
and
often
employed
in
foreign
Embassies
.
Now
if
it
had
been
possible
,
he
would
have
quenched
the
fire
he
had
kindled
in
the
College
with
his
own
tears
,
and
in
expression
of
his
penitence
,
became
a
worthy
Benefactor
to
the
House
,
and
rebuilt
the
Master's
Lodgings
firm
and
fair
from
the
ground
.
No
Bishop
in
England
was
better
attended
with
Menial
Servants
,
or
kept
a
more
bountiful
House
,
which
made
his
death
so
lamented
.
Anno
1533.
Of
Dreams
,
and
what
hath
been
revealed
to
some
persons
therein
.
ALthough
it
is
too
great
a
vanity
to
give
over-much
credit
to
our
Dreams
,
and
to
distress
and
distract
our selves
about
the
Significations
and
successes
of
them
;
yet
they
are
not
altogether
unuseful
to
us
.
Zeno
Eleates
was
wont
to
say
,
that
any
of
his
Scholars
might
judge
of
their
proficiency
in
Philosophy
by
their
Dreams
;
for
if
they
neither
did
nor
suffered
any
thing
therein
but
what
was
vertuous
,
they
had
made
some
good
progress
in
Philosophy
.
By
the
same
way
we
may
discover
much
of
our
own
natural
inclinations
and
the
constitution
we
are
of
.
Besides
this
,
there
hath
been
so
much
of
highest
concernment
revealed
to
some
in
their
sleep
,
that
is
enough
to
make
us
believe
there
is
not
altogether
so
much
vanity
in
Dreams
,
as
some
men
are
of
opinion
.
1.
Astyages
the
last
King
of
the
Medes
saw
in
his
dream
a
Vine
to
spring
forth
from
the
Womb
of
his
only
daughter
,
and
at
last
so
to
flourish
,
and
spread
out
it self
,
that
it
seemed
to
overshadow
all
Asia
with
its
very
fruitful
branches
.
He
consults
with
the
Soothsayers
upon
this
dream
,
who
answer
him
,
that
of
his
Daughter
should
be
born
a
Son
that
should
seise
on
the
Empire
of
Asia
,
and
divest
him
of
his
;
terrified
with
this
prediction
,
he
forthwith
bestowed
his
daughter
upon
Cambyses
,
a
Foreigner
,
and
then
an
obscure
person
:
when
his
daughter
drew
near
the
time
of
delivery
,
he
sends
for
her
to
himself
,
that
whatsoever
should
be
born
of
her
should
perish
by
his
own
command
.
The
Infant
therefore
is
delivered
to
Harpagus
to
be
slain
;
a
man
of
known
fidelity
,
and
with
whom
he
had
long
communicated
his
greatest
secrets
.
But
he
fearing
that
upon
Astyages
his
death
,
Mandane
his
daughter
would
succeed
in
the
Empire
,
since
the
King
had
no
issue
Male
,
and
that
then
he
should
be
sure
to
be
paid
home
for
his
obedience
,
doth
not
kill
the
Royal
Babe
,
but
delivers
it
to
the
Kings
chief
Herdsman
to
be
exposed
to
the
wide
world
.
It
fell
out
that
the
wife
of
this
man
was
newly
brought
to
bed
,
and
having
heard
of
the
whole
affair
,
she
earnestly
importunes
her
Husband
to
bring
the
child
home
to
her
,
that
she
might
see
him
:
the
Husband
is
overcome
,
goes
to
the
Wood
where
he
had
left
him
;
he
finds
there
a
Bitch
,
that
at
once
saved
the
Babe
,
and
kept
off
the
birds
and
beasts
from
it
;
and
also
suckled
it
her self
.
Affected
with
this
Miracle
,
and
thus
instructed
by
a
brute
in
humanity
,
he
takes
up
the
child
,
carries
it
to
his
wife
,
she
sees
,
and
loves
it
,
breeds
him
up
till
he
grew
first
to
a
man
,
and
then
to
a
King
:
he
overcomes
Astyages
his
Grandfather
,
and
translates
the
Scepter
from
the
Medes
to
the
Persians
.

Alexander
the
Great
in
the
long
and
difficult
Siege
of
Tyrus
,
bordering
upon
Judea
,
sent
to
the
Jews
for
assistances
,
but
was
by
them
rejected
,
as
having
a
more
ancient
League
with
Darius
.
When
therefore
he
had
taken
the
City
,
full
of
indignation
,
he
leads
his
Army
against
the
Jews
,
resolved
upon
revenge
,
and
devoting
all
to
slaughter
and
spoil
.
But
Jaddus
the
then
High-Priest
,
admonished
by
God
in
a
dream
,
meets
him
upon
the
way
,
accompanied
with
a
number
both
of
Priests
and
People
,
himself
with
his
Priestly
attire
,
with
his
Mitre
upon
his
head
,
and
upon
that
the
Name
of
God
:
whom
as
soon
as
Alexander
saw
,
with
all
mildness
and
submission
he
approaches
him
,
salutes
him
,
and
adores
that
wonderful
Name
.
Those
who
accompanied
him
were
some
of
them
amazed
,
others
displeased
;
amongst
these
was
Parmenio
,
who
asks
the
King
wherefore
he
adored
a
man
,
himself
being
now
almost
every
where
reputed
as
a
God
?
To
whom
Alexander
reply'd
,
that
he
worshipped
not
the
man
,
but
God
in
him
,
who
heretofore
(
in
that
form
)
had
appeared
to
him
in
Dio
,
a
City
of
Macedonia
,
in
his
dream
,
encouraging
him
to
a
speedy
Expedition
against
Asia
,
which
through
his
divine
power
and
assistance
he
would
subject
to
him
.
And
therefore
he
not
only
pardoned
,
but
honoured
and
enriched
the
City
and
Nation
of
the
Jews
,
pronounced
them
at
liberty
to
live
after
their
own
Laws
,
and
made
choice
of
some
of
them
to
serve
him
in
his
own
Troops
.
3.
Ertucules
having
slept
after
dinner
,
when
he
awaked
was
confounded
with
the
thoughts
of
what
he
had
seemed
to
see
in
his
dream
;
and
therefore
according
to
the
Religion
of
the
Turkish
Nation
,
he
first
bathes
his
body
in
water
to
purifie
himself
,
and
then
goes
to
Edebales
,
a
person
in
great
reputatation
amongst
them
,
as
well
for
his
wisdom
as
sanctity
;
and
thus
he
speaks
:
I
dreamed
(
venerable
Sir
)
that
the
brightness
of
the
Moon
did
proceed
from
your
bosome
,
and
thence
afterwards
did
pass
into
mine
:
when
it
was
thither
come
there
sprang
up
a
tree
from
my
navel
,
which
overshadowed
at
once
many
Nations
,
Mountains
,
and
Valleys
.
From
the
roots
of
this
tree
there
issued
waters
sufficient
to
irrigate
Vines
and
Gardens
;
and
there
both
my
dream
and
my
sleep
forsook
me
.
Edebales
when
he
had
heard
him
(
after
some
pause
)
thus
bespake
him
:
There
will
be
born
unto
you
(
my
good
Friend
)
a
Son
whose
name
shall
be
Osman
,
he
shall
wage
many
Wars
,
shall
acquire
to
himself
Victory
and
Glory
,
and
your
posterity
shall
be
Lords
and
Kings
of
many
Nations
.
But
my
Daughter
must
marry
to
your
Son
Osman
,
and
she
is
that
brightness
which
you
saw
come
from
my
bosome
into
yours
,
and
from
both
sprang
up
the
tree
.
A
strange
prediction
and
the
more
remarkable
for
that
of
the
Moon
,
seeing
we
know
that
the
Crescent
is
the
prime
and
most
remarkable
Ensign
of
the
Turkish
Nation
.
Of
the
secret
ways
of
dispatch
,
and
the
delivery
of
Messages
by
Letters
,
Cyphers
,
and
other
ways
.
SEcrecy
and
celerity
are
of
special
importance
for
the
right
conduct
and
management
of
all
sorts
of
affairs
▪
but
in
military
matters
they
are
of
that
absolute
necessity
,
that
scarce
any
thing
of
moment
can
be
effected
without
them
.
Various
ways
have
the
Ancients
and
others
invented
,
whereby
they
might
convey
their
intelligences
and
advice
with
both
these
;
a
taste
whereof
we
have
in
the
following
Examples
.
1.
Aleppo
is
so
called
of
Alep
,
which
signifies
Milk
,
of
which
there
is
great
abundance
thereabouts
;
there
are
here
also
Pigeons
brought
up
after
an
incredible
manner
,
who
will
fly
between
Babylon
and
Aleppo
(
being
thirty
days
Journey
distant
)
in
forty
eight
hours
space
,
carrying
Letters
and
News
(
which
are
fastned
about
their
Necks
)
to
Merchants
of
both
Towns
,
and
from
one
to
another
These
are
only
imployed
in
the
time
of
hasty
and
needful
intendments
:
their
education
to
this
tractable
expedition
is
admirable
,
the
flights
and
arrivals
of
which
I
have
often
seen
in
the
time
of
my
wintering
in
Aleppo
,
which
was
the
second
winter
after
my
departure
from
Christendom
.
2.
The
City
of
Ptolemais
in
Syria
was
besieged
by
the
French
and
Venetians
,
and
it
was
ready
to
fall
into
their
hands
,
when
the
Souldiers
beheld
a
Pigeon
flying
over
them
,
with
Letters
to
the
City
,
who
thereupon
set
up
so
sudden
and
so
great
a
Shout
,
that
down
fell
the
poor
airy
Post
with
her
Letter
;
being
read
,
it
was
found
that
the
Sultan
had
therein
sent
them
word
,
that
he
would
be
with
them
with
an
Army
sufficient
to
raise
the
Siege
,
and
that
they
should
expect
his
arrival
in
three
days
.
The
Christians
having
learnt
this
,
sent
away
the
Pigeon
with
others
instead
of
the
former
,
which
were
to
this
purpose
:
That
they
should
see
to
their
own
safety
,
for
that
the
Sultan
had
such
other
affairs
,
as
rendered
it
impossible
for
him
to
come
to
their
succour
.
These
Letters
being
received
,
the
City
was
immediately
surrendred
,
the
Sultan
performed
,
his
promise
upon
the
third
day
;
but
perceiving
how
matters
went
,
returned
to
his
other
imployments
.
3.
Histaeus
the
Milesian
being
kept
by
Darius
at
Susa
,
under
an
honourable
pretence
,
and
despairing
of
his
returning
home
unless
he
could
find
out
some
way
that
he
might
be
sent
to
Sea
;
he
purposed
to
send
to
Aristagoras
,
who
was
his
Substitute
at
Miletum
to
perswade
his
Revolt
from
Darius
;
but
knowing
that
all
passages
were
stopped
and
studiously
watched
,
he
took
his
course
:
He
got
a
trusty
Servant
of
his
,
the
hair
of
whose
head
he
caused
to
be
shaved
off
,
and
then
upon
his
bald
pate
he
wrote
his
mind
to
Aristagoras
,
kept
him
privately
about
him
till
his
hair
was
somewhat
grown
,
and
then
bad
him
haste
to
Aristagoras
,
and
bid
him
cause
him
to
be
shaved
again
,
and
then
upon
his
head
he
should
find
what
his
Lord
had
wrote
unto
him
.
4.
Harpagus
was
a
great
Friend
to
Cyrus
and
had
in
Media
prepared
all
things
in
as
good
forwardness
as
he
could
;
being
therefore
to
send
his
Letter
to
Cyrus
to
hasten
his
Invasion
upon
that
Countrey
,
he
thought
it
the
safest
way
to
thrust
it
into
the
belly
of
a
Hare
,
so
by
this
unsuspected
means
his
Letters
went
safe
to
Cyrus
in
Persia
,
who
came
with
an
Army
,
and
made
himself
Master
of
the
Empire
of
the
Medes
.
5.
The
ancient
Lacedemonians
when
they
had
a
purpose
to
dissemble
and
conceal
their
Letters
,
which
they
sent
to
their
Generals
abroad
,
that
the
Contents
of
them
might
not
be
understood
,
though
they
should
be
intercepted
by
the
Enemy
,
ihey
took
this
course
:
They
chose
two
round
sticks
of
the
same
thickness
and
length
,
wrought
and
planed
after
the
same
manner
.
One
of
these
was
given
to
their
General
when
he
was
about
to
march
;
the
other
was
kept
at
home
by
the
Magistrates
.
When
occasion
of
secrecy
was
,
they
wound
about
this
stick
a
long
scroll
and
narrow
only
once
about
,
and
in
such
manner
that
the
isdes
of
each
round
should
lie
close
together
,
then
wrote
they
their
Letters
upon
the
traverse
junctures
of
the
scroll
from
the
top
to
the
bottom
.
This
scroll
they
took
off
from
the
stick
,
and
sent
it
to
the
General
,
who
knew
well
how
to
fit
it
to
that
stick
he
kept
by
him
;
the
unrolling
of
it
did
disjoin
the
Letters
,
confound
and
intermix
them
in
such
manner
,
that
although
the
scroll
was
taken
by
the
Enemy
,
they
knew
not
what
to
make
of
it
;
if
it
●assed
safe
,
their
own
General
could
read
it
at
pleasure
.
This
kind
of
Letter
the
Lacede●onians
called
Scytale
.
6.
I
have
read
in
the
Punick
History
,
that
an
illustrious
person
amongst
them
(
whether
it
was
Asdrubal
or
some
other
,
I
do
not
now
remember
)
who
on
this
manner
used
to
conceal
such
Letters
as
he
sent
about
matters
of
secrecy
.
He
took
new
Tables
,
which
were
not
yet
covered
with
wax
,
and
cut
out
his
Leter
upon
the
wood
,
then
(
as
the
manner
was
)
he
drew
them
over
with
wax
,
these
Tables
,
as
if
nothing
was
writ
upon
them
,
he
sent
to
such
as
before-hand
he
had
acquainted
with
the
use
of
them
,
who
upon
the
receipt
of
them
took
off
the
wax
,
and
read
the
Letter
as
it
was
engraven
upon
the
wood
.
Demaratus
used
this
way
of
writing
.
7.
The
way
by
Pigeons
to
give
intelligence
afar
off
with
wonderful
celerity
,
is
this
,
They
take
them
when
they
sit
on
their
nests
,
transporting
them
in
open
cages
,
and
return
them
with
Letters
bound
about
their
legs
like
Jesses
,
who
will
never
give
rest
to
their
wings
until
they
come
to
their
young
ones
.
So
Taurosthenes
by
a
Pigeon
,
stained
with
Purple
,
gave
notice
of
his
Victory
at
the
Olympick
Games
the
self
same
day
to
his
Father
in
Aegina
.
Of
the
Field
Acheldemack
which
was
Bought
with
the
Thirty
Pieces
.
ON
the
other
ride
of
Mount
Sion
,
toward
the
South
,
a
stones
cast
,
is
the
Field
that
they
Bought
with
those
Thirty
Pieces
for
the
which
Christ
was
Sold
,
that
Men
call
Acheldemack
,
that
is
,
the
Field
of
Blood
:
In
that
Field
are
many
Tombs
of
Christian-men
,
for
there
be
many
Pilgrims
Buried
.
And
also
in
Hierusalem
,
toward
the
West
,
is
a
fair
Church
,
where
the
Tree
grew
,
of
which
●he
Cross
was
made
:
and
thereby
is
the
Church
where
our
Lady
met
with
Elizabeth
,
when
they
were
both
with
Child
,
and
St.
John
stirred
in
his
Mothers
Womb
,
and
did
Worship
to
our
Lord
his
Maker
:
and
under
the
Altar
of
this
Church
is
the
place
where
St.
John
was
Born
,
and
thereby
is
the
Castle
of
Enaux
.
On
Mount
Sion
was
King
David
Bu●ied
,
and
Solomon
,
and
many
other
Kings
●f
Hierusalem
,
and
there
is
the
place
where
St.
Peter
wept
full
bitterly
,
when
he
had
denyed
our
Lord
:
and
a
stones
cast
from
that
,
is
another
place
where
our
Lord
was
Judged
,
for
at
that
time
was
Caiaphas
House
there
,
and
between
the
Temple
of
Solomon
and
Mount
Sion
is
the
place
where
Christ
raised
the
Maiden
from
Death
to
Life
.
Under
Mount
Sion
in
the
Vale
of
Josaphat
,
is
a
Well
called
Notatory
Silo
,
there
was
our
Lord
washed
after
he
was
Baptized
.
And
thereby
is
the
Tree
on
the
which
Judas
hanged
himself
for
despair
,
when
he
had
Sol●
and
Betrayed
Christ
.
And
thereby
is
the
Synagogue
where
the
Bishops
of
the
Jews
and
Pharisees
came
to
hold
their
Councel
,
and
there
Judas
cast
Thirty
Pieces
before
them
,
and
said
,
Peccavi
,
tradens
Sanguinem
justum
;
that
is
,
I
have
sinned
,
in
Betraying
the
Innocent
Blood
.
Of
a
great
Country
called
Lamory
,
where
the
People
go
Naked
:
And
of
other
things
.
THis
is
an
excessive
Hot
Country
,
and
it
is
the
custom
there
,
that
Men
and
Women
go
Naked
,
and
they
scorn
all
them
that
are
Clad
;
for
they
say
▪
that
God
made
Adam
and
Eve
all
Naked
,
and
that
Men
should
have
no
shame
of
that
which
God
made
:
and
they
believe
in
the
same
God
that
made
Adam
and
Eve
,
and
all
the
World
.
And
there
is
no
Woman
Married
,
but
Women
are
all
common
there
,
and
they
refuse
no
Man
.
And
they
say
,
that
God
commanded
Adam
and
Eve
,
and
all
that
come
of
them
,
saying
,
Crescite
&
multiplicamini
&
replete
terram
.
Encrease
and
Multiply
,
and
fill
the
Earth
.
No
Man
there
may
say
,
This
is
my
Wife
;
nor
no
Woman
may
say
,
This
is
my
Husband
;
and
when
they
have
Children
,
they
give
them
to
whom
they
will
of
them
that
have
medled
with
them
.
Also
the
Land
is
all
common
,
for
every
Man
taketh
what
he
will
;
for
that
one
Man
hath
now
this
Year
,
another
Man
hath
the
next
Year
.
And
all
the
Goods
,
as
Corn
,
Beasts
,
and
all
manner
of
things
in
that
Country
are
common
.
For
there
is
nothing
under
Lock
,
and
as
Rich
is
one
Man
as
another
;
but
they
have
an
Evil
Custom
to
Eating
of
Flesh
,
for
they
Eat
Mans
Flesh
more
gladly
than
other
.
Nevertheless
,
in
that
Land
is
abundance
of
Corn
,
of
Flesh
,
of
Gold
,
of
Silver
,
and
of
all
manner
of
good
.
And
thither
do
Marchants
bring
Children
for
to
Sell
,
and
those
that
are
Fat
they
Eat
,
but
those
that
be
Lean
they
keep
till
they
be
Fat
,
and
then
are
they
Eaten
.
And
besides
this
Isle
of
Lemory
,
is
another
called
Somober
,
the
which
is
a
good
Isse
;
and
there
both
Men
and
Women
that
are
of
the
Nobility
,
are
marked
in
the
Visage
with
a
Hot
Iron
,
that
they
may
be
known
from
other
,
for
they
think
themselves
the
Worthiest
of
the
World
,
and
they
have
evermore
War
with
those
Men
that
are
Naked
,
of
whom
I
spake
before
.
And
there
are
many
other
Isles
and
People
;
of
the
which
it
were
overmuch
for
to
speak
here
.
Of
the
Island
called
Raso
,
where
People
be
hanged
if
they
be
Sick
past
hope
of
Recovery
.
THE
Men
of
this
Isle
,
when
their
Friends
are
sick
,
and
that
they
believe
surely
that
they
shall
die
,
they
take
them
and
hang
them
up
quick
on
a
Tree
,
and
say
,
it
is
better
that
Birds
that
are
Angels
of
God
eat
them
,
than
Worms
of
the
Earth
.
From
thence
Men
go
to
an
Isle
where
the
Men
are
of
an
ill
kind
,
for
they
nourish
Hounds
for
to
strangle
Men
.
And
when
their
Friends
are
sick
that
they
think
they
shall
die
,
then
do
those
Hounds
strangle
them
,
for
they
will
not
that
they
die
a
kindly
Death
,
for
then
should
they
suffer
too
great
pain
,
as
they
say
;
and
when
they
are
thus
dead
,
they
eat
their
Flesh
for
Venison
.
From
thence
Men
go
by
Sea
through
many
Isls
,
into
an
Isle
called
Melk
,
and
there
be
full
ill
People
,
for
they
have
none
other
delight
but
for
to
fight
and
slay
Men
,
for
they
drink
gladly
Mans
Blood
,
which
Blood
they
call
good
,
and
he
that
can
slay
most
,
is
of
most
Fame
among
them
.
And
if
there
be
two
Men
at
strife
,
and
after
be
made
Friends
,
then
must
they
Drink
either
others
Blood
,
or
else
the
accord
is
of
no
value
.
An
Account
of
the
Wilderness
,
and
of
what
a
strange
place
it
is
.
THE
Wilderness
is
a
strange
place
,
and
in
it
,
as
Men
say
,
are
the
Trees
of
the
Sun
,
and
the
Moon
,
that
spake
to
Alexander
,
and
told
him
of
his
Death
:
and
Men
say
,
that
those
that
keep
those
Trees
,
and
Eat
of
the
Fruits
of
them
,
Live
Four
or
Five
Hundred
Years
,
through
the
vertue
of
the
Fruit
;
and
we
would
gladly
have
gone
thither
;
but
I
think
that
an
Hundred
Thousand
Men
of
Arms
could
not
pass
that
Wilderness
for
the
plenty
of
Wild
Beasts
,
as
Dragons
,
and
Serpents
,
that
Slay
Men
when
they
pass
that
way
.
In
this
Land
are
many
Elephants
;
both
White
and
Blew
,
without
number
,
and
Unicorns
,
and
Lyons
of
many
Colours
.
Many
other
Isles
are
in
the
Land
of
P
—
J
—
that
were
too
long
to
tell
,
and
much
Riches
,
and
of
Pretious
Stones
great
Plenty
.
I
have
heard
say
,
why
this
Emperour
is
called
P
—
J
—
,
and
for
these
that
know
it
not
,
I
will
declare
,
Sometime
there
was
an
Emperour
,
a
Noble
Prince
,
and
a
Doughty
,
and
he
had
many
Christian
Knights
with
him
,
and
the
Emperour
thought
he
would
see
the
Service
in
Christian
Churches
,
and
then
was
Churches
of
Christendom
in
Turkey
,
Sury
,
and
Tartary
,
Hierusalem
,
Palestine
,
Araby
,
and
Alapy
,
and
in
all
the
Land
of
Aegypt
;
and
this
Empeperour
came
with
a
Christian
Knight
into
a
Church
of
Aegypt
,
and
it
was
on
a
Saturday
after
Whitsunday
,
when
the
Bishop
gave
Orders
:
and
he
beheld
the
Service
,
and
asked
of
the
Knight
what
Folk
those
should
be
that
stood
before
the
Bishop
?
And
the
Knight
said
,
they
should
be
Priests
:
and
he
said
,
he
would
no
more
be
called
King
nor
Emperour
,
but
Priest
,
and
he
would
have
the
Name
of
him
that
came
first
out
of
the
Priests
,
and
he
was
called
J
—
,
and
so
have
all
the
Emperours
since
been
called
P
—
J
—
.
In
this
Land
are
many
Christian-men
,
of
good
Faith
,
and
good
Law
,
and
they
have
Priests
to
sing
Service
,
and
they
receive
the
Sacrament
as
Men
of
Greece
do
;
and
they
say
,
not
otherwise
,
but
as
the
Apostle
said
,
as
St.
Peter
,
and
St.
Thomas
,
and
other
Apostles
,
when
they
sung
and
said
Pater
Noster
,
and
the
words
with
the
which
the
Communion
is
Sacred
:
we
have
many
Additions
of
Popes
that
have
been
Ordained
,
of
which
Men
of
these
Countries
know
not
.
Of
the
Isles
,
wherein
are
many
Gold
Mines
.
THere
are
more
East-ward
Two
oother
Isles
,
as
Travellers
report
,
the
one
is
called
Oriel
,
and
the
other
Argete
:
Of
which
,
all
the
Land
is
full
of
Mines
of
Gold
and
Silver
.
In
those
Isles
may
Men
see
no
Stars
clear
shining
,
but
one
Star
that
is
called
Canapos
;
and
there
Men
see
not
the
Moon
,
but
in
the
last
Quarter
.
In
that
Isle
is
a
great
Hill
of
Gold
,
that
Pismires
keep
,
and
they
part
the
fine
Gold
from
other
that
is
not
fine
,
and
the
Pismires
are
as
great
as
Hounds
;
so
that
no
Man
dare
come
there
for
dread
of
Pismires
that
would
assay
them
;
so
that
Men
cannot
dig
for
the
Gold
,
nor
get
thereof
,
but
by
Subtilty
:
and
therefore
when
it
is
very
hot
,
the
Pismires
hide
themselves
in
the
Earth
from
Morn
to
Noon
of
the
Day
;
and
then
Men
of
the
Country
,
take
Camels
and
Dromedaries
,
and
other
Beasts
,
and
go
thither
,
and
Load
them
with
Gold
,
and
go
fast
away
ere
the
Pismires
come
out
of
the
Earth
;
and
other
times
when
it
is
not
so
hot
,
that
the
Pismires
hide
them
not
,
they
take
Mares
that
have
Foals
,
and
they
lay
upon
those
Mares
Two
long
Vessels
,
as
it
were
Two
long
Barrels
,
with
the
Mouth
upwards
,
and
drive
them
thither
,
and
keep
their
Foals
at
home
;
and
when
the
Pismires
see
these
Vessels
,
they
leap
thereto
,
for
by
kind
they
leave
no
Hole
nor
Pit
open
,
and
anon
they
fill
those
Vessels
with
Gold
;
and
when
the
Men
think
the
Vessels
be
full
,
they
take
the
Foals
,
and
bring
them
as
near
as
they
dare
,
and
then
they
whinny
,
and
the
Mares
hear
them
,
and
anon
they
come
to
their
Foals
,
and
so
they
take
the
Gold
.
for
those
Pismires
will
suffer
Beasts
to
come
among
them
,
but
not
Men
.
A
pleasant
Treatise
of
the
Earthly
Paradise
.
IN
this
Paradise
Adam
and
Eve
was
set
,
but
they
were
but
a
little
while
there
,
and
it
lies
towards
the
East
,
at
the
begining
of
the
Earth
;
but
that
is
not
our
East
that
we
call
,
where
the
Sun
riseth
,
for
when
their
Sun
riseth
there
,
then
it
is
Mid-night
in
our
Country
,
by
reason
of
the
roundness
of
the
Earth
:
for
our
Lord
made
the
Earth
all
round
in
the
midst
of
the
Firmament
.
Of
Paradise
can
I
not
speak
properly
,
for
I
have
not
been
there
:
but
that
I
have
heard
,
I
shall
tell
you
.
Men
say
,
that
Paradise
Terrestre
is
the
highest
Land
of
all
the
World
,
and
it
is
so
high
that
it
touchest
near
to
the
Circle
of
the
Moon
,
for
it
is
so
high
,
that
Noah's
Flood
might
not
come
thereto
,
which
covered
all
the
Earth
about
.
This
Paradise
Terrestre
is
inclosed
all
about
with
a
Wall
,
and
that
Wall
is
all
covered
with
Moss
,
as
it
seemeth
,
that
Men
may
see
no
stone
nor
nothing
else
whereof
it
is
;
and
in
the
highest
place
of
Paradise
in
the
midst
of
it
is
a
Well
,
that
casteth
out
the
Four
Floods
that
run
through
divers
Lands
.
The
first
Flood
is
called
Pison
or
Ganges
,
and
that
runneth
through
India
;
in
that
River
are
many
precious
Stones
,
and
much
Lignum
Aloes
,
and
Gravel
of
Gold
.
Another
is
called
Nilus
or
Giron
,
and
that
runneth
through
Ethiopiah
and
Aegypt
.
The
Third
is
called
Tygree
,
and
that
runneth
through
Assyria
and
Armony
the
great
.
And
the
Fourth
is
called
Euphrates
,
that
runneth
through
Armony
the
less
,
and
Persia
:
and
Men
say
,
that
the
sweet
and
fresh
Waters
of
the
World
take
their
Springing
of
them
.
The
first
River
is
called
Pison
,
that
is
to
say
,
gathering
of
many
Rivers
together
,
and
falling
into
one
;
and
some
call
it
Ganges
,
of
a
King
that
was
in
India
,
that
Men
call
Gangeras
,
for
it
runneth
through
this
Land
:
and
this
River
is
in
some
places
clean
,
in
some
places
troubled
;
in
some
places
hot
,
in
some
places
cold
.
The
Second
River
is
called
Nilus
or
Giron
,
for
it
is
ever
troubled
;
for
Giron
,
is
to
say
,
trouble
.
The
Third
River
is
called
Tygree
,
that
is
to
say
,
fast
running
;
for
it
runneth
faster
then
any
of
the
other
,
named
so
of
a
Beast
that
Men
call
Tygris
,
for
he
runneth
fast
.
The
Fourth
River
is
called
Euphrates
,
that
is
to
say
,
well
bearing
,
for
there
groweth
many
good
things
upon
that
River
.
And
ye
shall
understand
that
no
Man
living
may
go
upon
that
Paradise
,
for
by
Land
he
may
not
go
for
wild
Beasts
that
are
in
the
Wilderness
,
and
for
Hills
and
Rocks
which
no
Man
may
pass
:
Neither
by
those
Rivers
may
any
Man
pass
,
for
they
come
with
so
great
a
course
,
and
so
great
Waves
,
that
no
Ship
may
Sail
against
them
.
Many
great
Lords
have
assayed
many
times
to
go
by
these
Rivers
into
Paradise
,
but
they
might
not
speed
in
their
way
;
for
some
Died
for
weariness
in
Rowing
,
some
were
Blind
,
and
some
Deaf
with
noise
of
the
Wolves
,
so
no
Man
may
pass
there
,
but
through
the
special
Grace
of
God
.
Remarkable
things
of
Adam
and
Eve
in
Paradise
.
AND
not
far
from
that
place
is
a
Cave
in
a
Rock
,
where
Adam
and
Eve
dwelt
when
they
were
driven
out
of
Paradise
,
and
there
got
their
Children
.
And
in
that
same
place
was
Adam
made
,
as
some
Men
say
,
for
Men
called
that
place
aforetime
the
Field
of
Damasce
,
for
it
was
in
the
Worship
of
Damasce
,
and
from
thence
he
was
Translated
into
Paradise
,
as
they
say
;
and
afterward
he
was
driven
out
of
Paradise
;
and
put
there
again
:
for
the
same
Day
that
he
was
put
into
Paradise
,
the
same
Day
he
was
driven
out
,
as
soon
as
he
had
sinned
.
And
there
beginneth
the
Isle
of
Ebron
that
lasteth
near
to
Jerusalem
,
where
the
Angel
bad
Adam
,
that
he
should
dwell
with
his
Wife
,
and
there
they
begot
Seth
,
of
which
Kindred
Jesus
Christ
was
Born
.
And
in
that
Vale
is
the
Field
where
Men
draw
out
of
the
Earth
a
thing
which
in
that
Country
they
call
Camhall
,
and
they
Eat
it
instead
of
Spice
,
and
bear
it
to
Sell
,
and
they
say
,
Men
cannot
dig
there
so
deep
,
nor
so
wide
,
but
it
is
at
the
Years
end
full
again
up
to
the
sides
through
the
Grace
of
God
.
And
Two
Miles
from
Ebron
is
the
Grave
of
Lot
,
that
was
Abraham's
Brother
.
Of
the
Country
where
Job
dwelt
.
ON
the
other
side
of
the
City
of
Carnaa
,
Men
enter
into
the
Land
of
Job
,
that
is
a
good
Land
,
furnished
with
plenty
of
all
Fruits
,
and
it
is
also
called
Swere
.
In
this
Land
is
the
City
of
Thomar
,
This
Job
was
a
Painim
,
and
also
he
was
Cofraas
Son
,
and
he
held
that
Land
as
the
Prince
thereof
,
and
he
was
so
rich
that
he
knew
not
the
hundred
part
of
his
Goods
;
and
after
his
Poverty
God
made
him
Richer
than
ever
he
was
before
,
so
that
he
was
King
of
Idumea
,
after
the
death
of
King
Esau
,
and
when
he
was
King
he
was
called
Joab
,
and
in
that
Kingdom
he
lived
an
hundred
threescore
and
ten
Years
,
so
that
when
he
died
he
was
two
hundred
forty
and
eight
years
old
.
And
in
the
Land
of
Job
is
no
want
of
any
thing
that
is
needful
for
Mans
Body
.
There
are
Hills
where
Men
find
Manna
,
which
Manna
is
called
Angels
Bread
,
it
is
of
a
white
colour
,
and
much
sweeter
than
Sugar
or
Hony
;
and
it
cometh
of
the
Dew
of
Heaven
that
falleth
on
the
Herbs
,
and
there
it
congealeth
and
waxeth
white
,
and
it
is
used
in
Medicines
for
rich
Men
.
This
Land
boundeth
on
the
Land
of
Chalde
,
which
is
a
great
Land
,
and
there
the
Men
are
very
fair
,
and
well
apparelled
,
as
with
Cloth
of
Gold
beset
with
costly
Pearls
,
and
many
other
precious
Stones
.
The
Women
are
but
hard
favour'd
and
go
bare-foot
,
and
meanly
clad
,
with
a
wide
and
coarse
Coat
,
but
so
short
that
it
scarse
covers
their
Knees
,
their
Sleeves
are
long
,
down
to
the
foot
;
they
have
long
black
hair
hanging
about
their
shoulders
,
and
are
nothing
lovely
to
look
upon
,
but
I
had
best
say
no
more
,
for
I
am
afraid
I
shall
get
small
thanks
for
my
praising
of
them
.
In
this
Land
of
Chalde
aforesaid
,
is
a
City
called
Hur
,
and
in
that
City
was
Abraham
the
Patriarch
born
.

but
they
say
Yea
an●
Nay
,
for
they
say
he
that
sweareth
will
deceive
his
Neighbour
,
and
,
as
Authors
say
,
generally
all
Men
in
this
under-World
are
truer
and
wiser
than
in
other
Countries
:
In
this
Isle
there
are
no
Thieves
,
Murderers
nor
Beggars
,
nor
no
Oppressors
.
And
forasmuch
as
they
are
so
true
,
and
so
good
,
there
is
no
Tempest
nor
Thunder
,
War
,
Hungar
,
nor
Tribulation
:
and
they
live
so
Temperately
in
Meat
and
Drink
,
that
they
live
very
long
,
and
many
of
them
die
without
Sickness
,
and
their
Life
faileth
them
with
Age
.
There
is
in
this
place
a
sort
of
Wild
and
Savage
Men
,
who
have
Heads
a
Foot
long
,
and
they
kill
all
that
come
near
them
,
and
they
are
such
Monstruous
Creatures
they
would
fright
any
Man
out
of
his
wits
to
behold
them
.
Of
the
strange
Kingdom
called
Amazony
,
where
dwell
none
but
Women
.
NEar
the
Land
of
Chalde
is
the
Land
of
Amazony
,
wherein
dwell
no
Men
,
but
all
Women
,
as
Men
say
,
for
they
will
suffer
no
Man
to
Live
among
them
,
nor
to
have
Rule
over
them
.
For
aforetime
there
was
a
King
,
and
Men
dwelling
in
that
Land
,
and
they
had
Wives
as
in
other
Countries
.
Now
it
befell
,
that
the
King
had
great
War
with
the
Men
of
Seithy
:
this
King
was
called
Colopius
,
and
he
was
Slain
in
Battel
,
and
all
the
Nobles
of
his
Land
.
When
the
Queen
and
the
other
Ladies
of
the
Land
,
heard
that
the
King
and
the
Lords
were
Slain
,
they
gathered
them
together
,
and
Killed
all
the
Men
that
were
left
in
their
Land
among
them
.
And
when
they
will
have
any
Men
to
lie
by
them
,
they
send
for
them
into
a
Country
that
is
near
their
Land
,
and
the
Men
come
and
stay
there
Eight
Days
,
or
as
the
Woman
liketh
,
and
then
go
they
again
:
and
if
they
have
Men-Children
,
they
send
them
to
their
Fathers
when
they
can
eat
and
go
;
if
they
have
Maid-Children
they
keep
them
:
and
if
they
be
of
Noble
Blood
,
they
Burn
the
left
Pap
away
,
for
bearing
of
a
Shield
;
and
if
they
be
of
base
Degree
,
they
Burn
the
right
Pap
away
,
for
Shooting
.
For
the
Women
of
that
Country
are
●ood
Warriours
,
and
are
often
in
pay
with
other
Lords
;
and
the
Queen
of
that
Land
Governeth
well
the
Land
.
This
Land
is
invironed
with
Water
.
Beside
Amazony
is
the
Land
of
Termagute
,
that
is
a
good
Land
and
profitable
,
and
for
the
goodness
of
that
Land
King
Alexander
did
make
a
City
there
,
and
called
it
Alexandria
:

Message

it
.
AS
they
who
remember
they
are
but
Sojourners
in
their
hired
lodgings
,
depart
thence
without
any
affliction
or
trouble
of
Mind
;
so
as
many
as
consider
that
Nature
hath
sent
them
this
Tabernacle
of
the
Body
but
for
a
little
time
,
are
well
contented
to
remove
as
soon
as
they
receive
a
Summons
.
1.
Theodorus
being
threatned
with
Death
by
Lysimachus
,
Speak
on
this
manner
,
said
he
,
to
thy
purpled
Minions
,
for
to
Theodorus
it
is
all
one
,
whether
he
putrefie
,
under

the
Cross
above

Sophonisba
,
was
the
Queen
of
Syphax
the
Numidian
,
and
he
being
made
Prisoner
to
the
Romans
,
she
came
and
yielded
her self
to
Massanissa
,
and
vehemently
besought
him
,
that
she
might
not
be
delivered
into
the
Hands
of
the
Romans
.
Her
Youth
and
excellent
Beauty
so
commended
her
Suit
,
that
he
forthwith
granted
it
,
and
to
make
good
his
promise
,
Marryed
her
himself
that
very
day
,
having
been
Contracted
with
her
before
her
Marriage
with
Syphax
.
But
Scipio
the
Roman
General
gave
him
to
understand
that
the
Romans
had
Title
to
her
Head
,
and
that
she
was
a
mischeivous
Enemy
of
theirs
,
and
therefore
advised
him
,
not
to
commit
a
great
offence
upon
little
reason
.
Massanissa
Blushed
and
Wept
;
and
finally
,
having
promised
to
be
Governed
by
Scipio
,
he
departed
to
his
Tent
;
where
after
he
had
spent
some
time
in
Agony
,
he
called
to
him
a
Servant
;
and
tempering
a
Potion
for
Sophonisba
,
sent
it
her
with
this
Message
,
That
gladly
he
would
have
her
to
Live
with
him
as
his
Wife
,
but
since
they
who
had
Power
to
hinder
him
of
his
desire
would
not
yield
thereto
,
he
sent
her
a
Cup
that
should
preserve
her
from
falling
Alive
into
the
Hands
of
the
Romans
;
Willing
her
to
remember
her
Birth
and
Estate
,
and
accordingly
to
take
Order
for
her Self
.
At
the
Receipt
of
this
Message
and
Present
she
only
said
,
That
if
her
Husband
had
no
better
Present
for
his
new
Wife
,
she
must
accept
of
this
.
Adding
,
that
she
might
have
Dyed
more
Honourably
,
if
she
had
not
Wedded
so
lately
before
her
Funerals
;
and
herewithal
she
boldly
drank
off
the
Poyson
.

Calanus
the
Indian
,
of
great
Fame
and
Name
for
Philosophy
,
and
held
in
great
Reverence
by
Alexander
the
Great
;
when
he
had
Lived
seventy
three
years
in
perfect
Health
and
was
now
seized
upon
by
a
Disease
;
accounting
that
he
had
Arrived
at
that
term
of
Felicity
,
Which
both
Nature
and
Fortune
had
allotted
him
,
determined
to
depart
out
of
Life
:
and
to
that
purpose
desired
of
Alexander
a
Funeral
pile
should
be
erected
,
and
that
as
soon
as
he
had
ascended
to
the
top
of
it
,
he
would
appoint
his
Guard
to
put
Fire
to
it
.
The
King
not
able
to
divert
him
from
his
purpose
,
commanded
the
Pile
to
be
erected
:
an
innumerable
Multitude
of
People
flocked
together
to
behold
so
unusual
a
Spectacle
.
Calanus
,
as
he
had
said
with
a
marvellous
alacrity
ascended
the
top
of
the
Pile
,
and
there
laid
him
down
,
wherein
he
was
consumed
to
Ashes
.

When
the
Tyrant
sent
his
Messenger
of
Death
to
Canius
to
tell
him
that
he
must
Dye
that
day
,
Canius
was
then
playing
at
Chess
,
and
therefore
desired
the
Messenger
not
to
interrupt
his
play
till
the
Game
was
out
;
which
he
played
in
the
same
manner
,
and
with
as
much
concern
as
he
did
before
the
Messenger
came
.
The
Game
done
,
he
submitted
to
the
Sentence
that
was
passed
upon
him
.

Queen
Anne
the
Wife
of
Henry
the
Eighth
,
when
she
was
lead
to
be
Beheaded
in
the
Tower
,
she
called
one
of
the
Kings
Privy
Chamber
to
her
,
and
said
unto
him
;
Commend
me
to
the
King
,
and
tell
him
,
he
is
constant
in
his
course
of
advancing
me
;
for
from
a
private
Gentlewoman
he
made
me
a
Marquess
,
from
a
Marquess
a
Queen
;
and
now
that
he
hath
left
no
higher
degree
of
Worldly
Honour
for
me
,
he
hath
made
me
a
Martyr
.

Dr.
Fecknam
was
sent
to
the
Lady
Jane
Grey
,
that
she
must
prepare
her self
to
Dye
the
next
day
;
which
Message
was
so
little
displeasing
to
her
,
that
she
seemed
rather
to
rejoyce
at
it
.
The
Doctor
being
earnest
with
her
to
leave
her
new
Religion
,
and
to
embrace
the
old
,
she
answered
,
that
she
had
now
no
time
to
think
of
any
thing
,
but
of
preparing
her self
to
God
by
Prayer
.
Fecknam
thinking
she
had
spoken
this
,
to
the
end
she
might
have
some
longer
time
of
Life
,
obtained
of
the
Queen
three
days
longer
,
and
then
came
and
told
so
much
to
the
Lady
Jane
.
Whereat
she
smiling
,
said
,
You
are
much
deceived
if
you
think
I
had
any
desire
of
longer
Life
;
for
I
assure
you
,
since
the
time
you
went
from
me
my
Life
hath
been
so
odious
to
me
,
that
I
long
for
nothing
so
much
as
Death
;
and
since
it
is
the
Queens
pleasure
,
I
am
most
willing
to
undergo
it
.

should

upon
the
Soul
in
her

Functions
:
many
of
these
who
are
hereafter
mentioned
,
may
seem
to
have
Lived
for
no
other
purpose
than
to
Eat

Something
may
be
said
in
favour
of
those
whom
Disease
hath
brought
to

Dog-like
appetite
:
but
nothing
in
the
behalf
of
those
Gluttons
,
whose
paunches
have
been
so
immeasurably
extended
,
only
by
a
bestial
custom
,
and

inordinate
desire
to
gratifie

own

day
,
and
drank
three
Chaos
of
Wine
.
In
the
Olympick
Games
,
when
he
had
taken
up
an
Oxe
on
his
Shoulder
and
born
him
a
Furlong
;
he
alone
the
same
day
Eat
him
up
.

The
Emperour
Aurelianus
was
delighted
exceedingly
with
one
Phagon
,
who
Eat
so
very
much
,
that
in
one
day
at
his
Table
he
would
devour
a
whole
Boar
,
an
hundred
Loaves
,
a
Sheep
,
and
a
Pigg
,
and
Drink
above
an
Orca
;
I
know
,
saith
Lipsius
,
it
was
a
Wine
Vessel
,
and
bigger
than
the
Amphora
,
but
how
much
I
know
not
.

Will
you
have
an
example
,
saith
Lipsius
,
little
beyond
the
Memory
of
our
Fathers
?
Uguccio
Fagiolanus
was
one
of
the
Tyrants
of
Italy
,
and
his
abode
,
for
the
most
part
,
was
at
Lucca
,
till
he
was
forced
away
:
being
therefore
a
Banished
Man
,
and
withal
Aged
;
he
boasted
at
the
Table
of
Canis
Scaliger
in
Verona
,
that
when
he
was
young
,
he
could
Eat
four
fat
Capons
,
and
as
many
Patridges
,
the
Roasted
hind
quarters
of
a
Kid
,
a
Breast
of
Veal
stuffed
,
besides
all
kind
of
Sawces
at
one
Supper
:
this
he
did
to
lay
his
Hunger
,
what
if
he
had
Eat
for
a
Wager
?
12.
Anno
1511.
the
Emperour
of
Maximilian
,
being
at
Augusta
,
there
was
presented
to
him
a
Man
of
a
Prodigious
bigness
,
and
Incredible
Strength
and
Stomach
,
insomuch
that
at
one
Meal
he
would
Eat
a
whole
Sheep
or
Calf
Raw
,
and
when
he
had
so
done
,
professed
he
had
not
satisfied
his
Hunger
.
It
is
said
he
was
Born
in
the
Northern
parts
,
where
by
reason
of
the
Cold
,
Men
use
to
have
great
Stomachs
,
although
the
edacity
of
this
Man
is
almost
incredible
.
13.
Nicholas
Wood
of
Harrisom
,
in
the
County
of
Kent
,
Yeoman
,
did
with
ea●e
Eat
a
whole
Sheep
of
sixteen
Shillings
price
,
and
that
Raw
;
at
one
Meal
;
another
time
he
Eat
thirty
dozen
of
Pidgeons
.
At
Sir
William
Sidleyes
he
Eat
as
much
as
would
have
sufficed
thirty
Men
;
at
the
Lord
Wottons
in
Kent
,
he
Eat
at
one
Meal
fourscore
and
four
Rabbets
,
which
number
would
have
sufficed
an
Hundred
Threescore
and
Eight
Men
,
allowing
to
each
half
a
Rabbet
;
he
suddenly
devoured
Eighteen
Yards
of
Black-Pudding
,
London
Measure
.
How
Strangely
some
have
been
able
to
Swim
under
the
Water
,
and
for
their
Lives
.
CUstome
and
long
Practice
of
any
thing
doth
seem
to
divest
Man
of
his
own
Nature
,
and
to
adopt
another
instead
thereof
,
as
we
may
perceive
upon
divers
occasions
:
and
particularly
in
respect
of
what
follows
.
1.
Spunges
are
gathered
from
the
sides
of
Rocks
,
fifteen
Fathom
under
Water
,
about
the
bottom
of
the
Streights
of
Gibraltar
.
The
People
that
get
them
,
are
so
Trained
up
in
diving
from
their
Childhood
,
that
they
can
endure
to
remain
under
Water
,
such
a
continuance
of
time
,
as
if
it
was
their
own
proper
Element
.
2.
Amongst
those
remarkables
which
have
been
in
our
time
,
we
knew
of
late
a
Man
,
not
of
any
generous
extraction
,
but
of
the
meaner
sort
,
who
was
a
Mariner
at
some
times
for
a
stipend
;
and
at
other
times
,
got
his
living
by
Fishing
.
This
Man
was
known
in
a
sharp
Season
of
the
Year
,
and
some
times
in
a
troubled
Sea
,
in
one
day
to
have
Swimmed
from
Aenaria
,
an
Island
amongst
the
Pithecusae
,
over-against
Naples
,
as
far
as
to
Prochytas
,
which
is
almost
Fifty
Furlongs
,
and
at
some
times
to
have
returned
in
one
and
the
same
day
.
When
this
seemed
unto
all
men
utterly
incredible
,
he
voluntarily
made
offer
of
himself
to
perform
it
,
multitudes
came
to
behold
this
sight
,
and
when
at
Aenaria
he
had
leaped
into
the
Sea
,
a
Boat
that
followed
him
on
purpose
,
observed
him
Swimming
at
some
distance
before
them
that
were
in
it
,
till
such
time
as
he
came
on
shore
at
Prochyta
in
safety
.

Historians
do
much
admire
the
valour
and
strength
of
Sertorius
;
his
first
Warfare
was
under
Scipio
,
against
the
Cimbrians
,
who
had
passed
over
into
Gaul
:
in
this
War
,
when
a
Party
of
the
Romans
had
fought
unfortunately
,
it
happened
that
Sertorius
was
grievously
wounded
,
and
had
lost
his
Horse
:
In
this
case
,
with
his
Breast-Plate
upon
him
,
and
his
Shield
and
Arms
in
his
Hand
,
he
threw
himself
into
the
Rhodanus
,
a
swift
River
,
and
striving
against
the
adverse
Waves
,
he
Swam
over
it
,
and
not
without
great
admiration
of
the
Enemy
,
he
got
over
in
safety
,
to
their
own
Army
on
the
other
side
.

Scaevola
,
a
Man
of
admirable
Valour
,
having
alone
defended
a
Rock
all
the
day
from
the
whole
Forces
of
the
Britains
,
when
Night
came
on
threw
himself
into
the
Sea
,
and
Laden
with
a
heavy
Shield
,
and
two
Coats
of
Mail
,
by
Swimming
he
got
safe
unto
Caesar
,
who
having
publickly
applauded
him
of
a
private
Souldier
,
made
him
a
Centurion
.

Those
few
People
that
dwell
in
the
Islands
of
Lar
and
Cailon
,
are
almost
transformed
into
the
nature
of
Fishes
:
so
excellent
Swimmers
are
they
,
that
seeing
a
Vessel
on
the
Seas
,
though
Stormy
and
Tempestuous
,
they
will
Swim
to
it
though
it
be
distance
from
them
five
or
six
Miles
,
and
this
only
to
beg
an
Alms
,
their
own
food
being
nothing
but
Fish
,
and
they
very
poor
.
6.
They
Fish
for
Pearl
in
the
South
Sea
near
Panama
,
and
in
the
North
Sea
in
divers
places
,
as
in
the
Isle
Margareta
towards
the
Coast
of
Paria
,
where
the
Oysters
feed
upon
Cubuca
.
The
Pearles
of
greater
price
are
called
Quilates
,
or
Carats
:
For
this
Fishing
they
choose
the
best
winded
Men
,
and
such
as
can
contain
longest
under
Water
.
At
Barlovento
,
Cula
,
and
Hispaniola
,
I
have
seen
them
stay
three
quarters
of
an
hour
under
Water
,
and
I
was
told
they
have
had
some
who
have
continued
the
whole
hour
.
The
General
of
Margaita
keeps
many
of
these
Men
,
who
are
Slaves
to
him
called
Bouze
:
one
of
these
Pearls
was
brought
to
the
King
of
Spain
as
bigg
as
a
Pigions
Egge
,
valued
at
14000.
Ducats
,
by
some
at
100000.
and
it
was
called
a
Peregrina
.

The
Grecians
did
use
to
breed
up
their
Children
with
Liberal
Education
:
they
were
well
instructed
in
Wrastling
,
and
also
were
taught
to
Swim
well
.
This
was
the
Reason
that
very
few
of
Greeks
perished
in
the
Naval
Fight
with
Xerxes
at
Salamine
,
for
being
well
skilled
in
Swimming
,
when
any
of
their
Ships
were
broken
,
or
in
danger
of
Sinking
,
they
quit
them
,
and
leaping
into
the
Sea
,
Swam
safely
to
Salamine
;
on
the
otherside
,
the
Persians
being
generally
unpractised
herein
,
for
the
most
part
perished
in
the
Sea
.

Henry
the
Third
,
the
Emperour
of
the
Romans
,
in
Revenge
of
the
Death
of
Peter
,
King
of
Hungary
,
Besieged
Pisonium
.
It
was
here
that
a
certain
Hungarian
,
his
Name
was
Zothmundus
,
an
incomparable
Swimmer
,
was
sent
in
the
dead
of
the
Night
by
the
Governour
,
to
get
by
Swimming
privately
under
the
Enemies
Ships
:
This
he
did
,
and
with
a
small
Wimble
or
Piercer
,
he
so
bored
them
in
the
bottom
of
the
Keel
,
that
about
two
and
three
a
Clock
in
the
Morning
divers
of
them
began
to
Sink
.
By
this
Artifice
,
the
Forces
of
the
Germans
were
so
broken
and
impaired
,
that
they
were
constrained
to
break
up

to
depart

MAN
is
seldome
so
unfortunate
a
Teacher
,
as
when
he
hath
himself
for
his
Scholar
;
but
should
he
Employ
at
home
,
that
ingenuity
and
industry
which
he
sometimes
makes
use
of
abroad
;
what
a
wonderful
proficient
would
he
be
in
all
kind
of
Virtue
?
For
there
is
scarce
any
thing
that
may
seem
so
difficult
;
but
his
care
and
constancy
hath
overcome
,
as
the
following
examples
will
be
sufficient
to
Account
for
.
1.
The
Count
of
Stolberge
in
Germany
,
had
a
Deer
which
he
bestowed
on
the
Emperour
Maximilian
the
Second
,
that
would
receive
a
Rider
on
his
Back
,
and
a
Bridle
in
his
Mouth
,
and
would
run
a
Race
with
the
Fleetest
Horse
in
the
Field
,
and
outstrip
them
too
.
Martial
also
mentions
a
Deer
used
to
the
Bridle
.
Hic
erat
ille
tuo
domitus
Cyparisse
capistro
,
An
magis
ille
tuus
Sylvia
cervus
erat
.
2.
At
Prague
the
King
of
Bohemia's
Pallace
,
Mr.
Morrison
saw
two
Tame
Leopards
,
that
would
either
of
them
at
a
call
,
leap
behind
the
Huntsman
when
he
went
abroad
a
Hunting
,
and
sit
like
a
Dog
,
on
the
hinder
parts
of
the
Horse
,
and
would
soon
dispatch
a
Deer
.
3.
Seneca
speaks
of
a
Tame
Dragon
,
that
took
meat
from
the
Hands
of
Tiberius
;
and
elsewhere
,
Repentes
inter
pecula
,
sinusque
innoxio
lapsu
dracones
;
Tame
Dragons
that
crept
up
and
down
amongst
their
Cups
,
and
in
their
Bosomes
,
and
did
them
no
hurt
.
4.
Scaliger
saw
a
Crow
in
the
French
Kings
Court
,
that
was
taught
to
fly
at
Partridges
,
or
any
other
Fowl
from
the
Falconers
Fist
.
5.
Elephants
have
been
taught
,
not
only
to
Dance
upon
the
Earth
,
but
in
the
Air
also
;
Dancing
upon
the
Rope
.
The
manner
of
Teaching
them
to
Dance
is
thus
;
they
bring
some
young
Elephant
upon
a
Floor
of
Earth
,
that
hath
been
Heated
underneath
,
and
they
Play
upon
a
Cittern
or
Tabour
,
while
the
poor
Beast
lifts
up
his
Stumps
very
often
from
the
hot
Flower
,
more
by
reason
of
the
Heat
,
than
any
desire
to
Dance
.
And
this
they
practise
so
often
until
the
Beast
hath
got
such
a
habit
of
it
,
that
when
ever
he
hears
any
Musick
,
he
falls
a
Dancing
.
Busbequius
saw
a
Dancing
Elephant
in
Constantinople
,
and
the
same
Elephant
playing
at
Ball
,
tossing
it
to
another
man
with
his
Trunk
,
and
receiving
it
back
again
.
6.
Michael
Neander
saw
in
Germany
a
Bear
brought
from
Poland
that
would
play
on
the
Tabour
;
and
Dance
some
Measures
,
yea
Dance
within
the
compass
of
a
Large
round
Cup
,
which
he
would
afterwards
hold
up
in
his
Paw
,
to
the
Spectators
to
receive
Mony
or
some
other
Boon
for
his
pains
.

A
Baboon
was
seen
to
play
upon

skilful
at
Chesseplay

Of
the
Absurd
and
Strange
Follies
of
divers
Men
.
SOme
little
devitations
of
any
of
the
lesser
Lights
,
would
scarce
be
heeded
by
us
,
but
should
the
Sun
make
but
one
false
step
,
the
Eyes
of
almost
all
the
World
would
be
suddenly
directed
that
way
:
Thus
the
Follies
of
mean
Persons
are
lightly
passed
over
;
whereas
the
impertinences
of
Princes
,
and
the
Dotages
of
great
Persons
,
are
as
generally
observed
and
censured
,
as
those
Foolish
and
Ridiculous
Customes
,
wherewith
whole
Nations
at
once
have
been
tainted
and
infected
.

Amongst
the
Carribbians
assoon
as
the
Wife
is
delivered
,
the
Husband
goes
to
Bed
to
bemoan
himself
there
,
and
act
the
part
of
the
Woman
in
that
condition
;
but
what
is
most
troublesome
to
the
poor
Caribbian
who
hath
put
himself
into
Bed
instead
of
his
new
Delivered
Wife
is
,
that
they
oblige
him
to
a
certain
Diet
for
ten
or
twelve
days
together
,
allowing
him
every
day
a
little
piece
of
Cassava
,
and
a
little
Water
,
wherein
there
had
been
boyled
a
little
of
that
Root-bread
;
afterwards
his
allowance
is
a
little
increased
,
yet
still
continued
in
that
same
Diet
;
but
he
breaks
the
Cassava
,
which
is
presented
to
him
,
only
in
the
middle
,
for
the
space
of
about
forty
days
,
leaving
the
extremities
entire
,
which
he
hangs
up
in
his
Hut
,
to
serve
at
the
entertainment
he
afterwards
intends
to
make
for
all
his
Friends
:
nay
,
after
all
this
he
abstains
,
sometimes
for
the
space
of
ten
Months
,
or
a
whole
Year
,
from
several
kinds
of
Meat
,
as
Lamantin
,
Tortoises
,
Swines-Flesh
,
Hens
,
Fish
,
and
delicious
things
;
being
so
pitifully
simple
,
as
to
fear
that
those
things
might
prejudice
the
Child
:
at
the
expiration
of
the
Fast
,
the
Shoulders
of
the
poor
Father
,
who
hath
a
Child
Born
,
are
scarified
and
opened
with
the
Tooth
of
an
Agouty
;
and
it
is
requisite
that
the
besotted
wretch
should
not
only
suffer
himself
to
be
so
ordered
,
but
he
must
also
endure
it
,
without
expressing
the
least
Sentiment
of
pain
:
Their
perswasion
is
,
that
the
more
apparent
the
Fathers
Patience
shall
be
in
these
Trials
,
the
more
recommendable
shall
be
the
Valour
of
his
Son
.
But
this
Noble
Blood
must
not
be
suffered
to
fall
to
the
Ground
,
since
the
effusion
thereof
contributes
so
much
to
future
courage
,
it
is
therefore
carefully
saved
to
rub
the
Childs
Face
withal
,
out
of
an
imagination
,
he
will
be
the
more
generous
.

The
Sinitae
or
the
Sinenses
,
have
in
their
Houses
little
Images
,
which
they
worship
as
their
Gods
;
yet
make
they
not
so
much
of
them
,
but
in
case
any
thing
befall
them
contrary
to
their
expectation
,
they
will
have
them
to
suffer
for
it
;
so
that
after
they
have
scourged
them
,
they
often
cast
them
out
into
the
Streets
;
when
soon
after
moved
with
Repentance
,
they
take
them
up
again
,
adore
them
,
seek
to
appease
them
,
and
offer
them
Wine
and
Incense
.

5.
Xerxes
,
having
made
a
Bridge
of
Boats
over
the
Hellespont
,
for
the
Transportation
of
his
huge
Army
out
of
Asia
into
Europe
,
there
arose
a
great
Tempest
which
break
his
Bridge
in
sunder
;
wherewith
he
was
so
enraged
,
that
he
sent
a
Chartel
of
defiance
to
the
Sea
,
and
commanded
his
Servants
to
give
it
Three
Hundred
Stripes
,
and
to
throw
Fetters
into
it
,
to
bind
it
to
its
good
behaviour
;
with
hot
Irons
to
burn
Ignominious
Brands
in
it
;
his
Officers
performing
his
commands
were
to
say
,
O
thou
unruly
Water
,
thy
Lord
hath
appointed
thee
this
punishment
,
for
that
thou
hast
wronged
him
that
deserved
it
not
from
thee
;
but
whether
thou
wilt
or
not
,
he
is
resolved
to
pass
over
thee
,
nor
shall
any
man
hereafter
Sacrifice
unto
thee
,
as
being
a
deceitful
and
bitter
River
.
Of
the
Suns
Dancing
on
Easter-day
.
WE
shall
not
I
hope
disparage
the
Resurrection
of
our
Redeemer
,
if
we
say
,
the
Sun
doth
not
Dance
on
Easter-day
,
and
though
we
would
willingly
assent
unto
any
Sympathical
exaltation
,
yet
cannot
conceive
therein
any
more
then
a
Topical
expression
;
whether
any
such
motion
were
in
that
day
wherein
Christ
arised
,
Scripture
hath
not
Revealed
,
which
hath
been
punctual
in
other
Records
concerning
Solary
Miracles
,
and
the
Areopagite
that
was
amazed
at
the
Eclipse
,
took
no
notice
of
this
,
and
if
Metaphorical
expressions
go
so
far
,
we
may
be
bold
not
only
to
affirm
that
one
Sun
Danced
,
but
two
arose
that
day
,
that
Light
appeared
at
his
Nativity
,
and
darkness
at
his
Death
,
and
yet
a
Light
at
both
,
for
even
that
Darkness
was
a
Light
unto
the
Gentiles
,
illuminated
by
that
obscurity
,
that
t
was
the
first
time
the
Sun
set
about
the
Horrison
,
that
altho
there
were
Darkness
above
the
Earth
,
there
was
Light
beneath
it
;
nor
dare
we
say
Hell
was
Dark
,
if
he
were
in
it
.
Of
the
Devils
Cloven-Foot
.
A
Conceit
there
is
,
that
the
Devil
commonly
appears
with
a
Cloven-Foot
,
wherein
although
it
seem
excessively
ridiculous
,
their
may
be
something
of
Truth
,
and
the
general
report
thereof
at
first
might
be
his
frequent
appearing
in
the
Shape
of
a
Goat
,
which
answers
that
Description
:
This
was
the
opinion
of
Ancient
Christians
concerning
the
apparitions
of
Panities
,
Fawns
,
and
Satyrs
,
and
in
this
form
we
Read
of
one
that
appeared
unto
Anthony
in
the
Wilderness
;
the
same
is
also
confirmed
from
expositions
of
Holy
Scripture
,
for
whereas
it
is
said
,
thou
shalt
not
offer
unto
Devils
,
the
Original
Read
it
Seghnikim
that
is
Rough
and
Hairy
Coats
,
because
in
that
Shape
the
Devil
most
often
appears
;
as
is
expounded
by
the
Rabbins
,
as
Tremelius
hath
also
explained
,
and
as
the
word
Aschimah
the
God
of
Emach
,
is
by
some
conceived
,
nor
did
he
only
assume
this
Shape
in
Elder
times
,
but
commonly
in
these
latter
days
,
especially
in
the
place
of
his
Worship
.
If
there
be
any
Truth
in
the
consession
of
Witches
and
us
in
many
Stories
it
stands
confirmed
by
Bodinus
,
and
therefore
a
Goat
is
not
improperly
made
the
Hieroglyphick
of
the
Devil
,
as
Pierius
hath
exprest
it
,
so
might
it
be
the
Emblem
of
Sin
,
as
it
was
in
the
Sin
Offering
:
And
so
likewise
of
Wicked
and
Sinful
Men
,
according
to
the
expression
of
Scripture
in
the
Method
of
the
last
distribution
when
our
Saviour
shall
seperate
the
Sheep
from
the
Goats
,
that
is
,
the
Sons
of
the
Lamb
,
from
the
Children
of
the
Devil
.
Of
the
True-Lovers
Knot
.
THE
True-Lovers
Knot
is
very
much
Magnified
and
still
retained
in
presents
of
Love
amongst
us
,
which
tho
in
all
points
it
doth
not
make
out
,
had
perhaps
its
Original
from
Nodus
Hercularius
,
or
that
which
was
called
Hercules
Knot
,
Resembling
the
Snaky
complication
in
the
Caduces
,
or
Rod
of
Hermes
,
and
in
which
form
the
Zone
or
Woollen-Girdle
of
the
Bride
was
fastened
as
Turnelus
observed
in
his
Adversaria
.
Of
the
Army
of
Xerxes
that
Drank
whole
Rivers
Dry
.
UNTO
some
it
hath
seemed
Incredulous
what
Herodotus
reporteth
of
the
great
Army
of
Xerxes
,
that
Drank
whole
Rivers
dry
,
and
unto
the
Author
himself
,
it
appeared
wondrous
strange
,
that
they
exhausted
not
the
Provision
of
the
Country
,
rather
then
the
Waters
thereof
;
for
as
he
maketh
the
account
,
and
Pudeus
de
Aste
correcting
the
miscompute
of
Valla
,
delivereth
it
;
that
if
every
Man
of
the
Army
had
had
a
Chenix
of
Corn
a
day
,
that
is
a
Sentary
and
half
,
or
about
two
Pints
a●d
a
quarter
,
the
Army
had
daily
expended
Ten
hundred
thousand
,
and
forty
Medimna's
or
Measures
,
containing
six
Bushels
,
which
rightly
considered
,
the
Abeierets
had
reason
to
Bless
the
Heavens
that
Xerxes
Eat
but
one
Meal
a
day
:
and
Pitheus
his
Noble
Host
might
with
less
charge
and
possible
Provision
,
entertain
both
him
and
his
Army
,
and
yet
may
all
be
Serv'd
,
if
we
take
it
Hyperbolically
;
And
as
Wise
Men
receive
that
expression
in
Job
,
concerning
Behemoth
or
the
Elephant
,
behold
he
Drinketh
up
a
River
and
Hasteth
not
,
he
trusteth
that
he
can
draw
Jordon
in
his
Mouth
.
