6. The frequent complaints that the no-
ble Spirit in Pjthagoreas and Plato make
againft the incumbrances and difadvan-
tages of the body , make the Holy Guide
very true and probable 5 and it is fome-
thing like our Divines fancying Jheol to be
Created this day.
7. This is confonant to Plato's School,
who make the matter immoveable of it
felf, which is mod reafonable ; for if it
were of its own Nature moveable 5 no-
thing for a moment would hold together,
but difiblve it felf into infinitely little
particles 5 whence it is manifeft , that
there muft be fomething befides the mat-
ter 5 either to binde it or to move it 5 fo
that the Creation of immaterial Beings
was by 1. and is in that refpe&alfo ne-
ceflary.
8. For this Agitation of the matter
brought it to my fancy in the fecond
principle of the Rofie Crucian Phyficl^y
which is the true Mthe+px rather V& CD
for it is as liquid as water , and yet has in
it the fiery principle of fire, which is the

to thofe myfteries that the Pythagoreans

like as Cato in affairs of ftate,
ufed to give
counfel ( un wifely, though never fo well )
as if he had been in Plato's Common-
wealth, and not in the dregs of Romulus :
So in matter of dyec and order of body,
fpeakasif we lived in the former golden
Age, which,as Foets fain, was under Saturn,
and not in the corruption of Jupiters
kingdome ; and thac with the world,asit
now goeth, cannot be brought ( without

and make a new world , and that in long
time ) unto the tuft' and kindly cuftome
of life 5 I muft,if I mean to do wife!y,take
the men as 1 find them, and prove that all
fuch weaknefs as now is among them,may
by mans indeavour and skill of healing
be upholden and led forth unto thofe
bounds, and the end of long life afore-
fet.
Albeit I have done as much as reafona-
bly may be required at my hands in this
place, which was alottedout tofhow the

fhen by fubtlenefs of Argument to ob-
tain my purpofe, I will come unto you,
and venture upon that point alfo,be it ne-
ver fo hard and defperate , hoping not
that fortune will favour bold men, but
God good men.
Then as there are three caufes of life
and being, the lifeand foul it felf, and his
food the firft moifture , and the frame
and temper of the body that holds them
both ; fo let us take them all in order,and
fee how they may be preserved , and kept
together, beginning firft with the laft, be-
caufe it is leaft and lighted.
38. It is enatted by the law of Nature,
that no body,mixt orfimple, (hall or may-
live and preferve his eftate , and being
without two helps or ftayes, that is, meac
and exercife,each like his kind, and of his
nature ; as in lone and fimple and fub-
tile bodies ( for it is plain in the firft row,
efpecially if they be living, as they term
them, though all things indeed have life
and fouls, as we heard above ) the hot
ones crave fiery meat and moving exer-
cife ,moift ones, wind and water, flowing
food and exercife ; cold and dry things

that it hath not onely the knowledge of
