enlarge my lines any farder, but consequently follow my purpose. +%Of Cosmographie%+, I appointed briefly in this place, to geue you some intelligence. +Cosmographie, is the whole and perfect description of the heauenly, and also elementall parte of the world, and their homologall application, and mutuall collation necessarie.+ This Art, requireth _Astronomie_, _Geographie_, _Hydrographie_ and _Musike_. Therfore, it is no small Arte, nor so simple, as in common practise, it is (slightly) considered. This matcheth Heauen, and the Earth, in one frame, and aptly applieth parts Correspondent: So, as, the Heauenly Globe, may (in practise) be duely described vpon the Geographicall, and Hydrographicall Globe. And there, for vs to consider an _Aequonoctiall Circle_, _an Ecliptike line_, _Colures_, _Poles_, _Sterres_ in their true Longitudes, Latitudes, Declinations, and Verticalitie: also Climes, and Parallels: and by an _Horizon_ annexed, and reuolution of the earthly Globe (as the Heauen, is, by the _Primouant_, caried about in 24. aequall Houres) to learne the Risinges and Settinges of Sterres (of _Virgill_ in his _Georgikes_: of _Hesiod_: of _Hippocrates_ in his _Medicinall Sphaere_, to Perdicca King of the Macedonians: of _Diocles_, to King _Antigonus_, and of other famous _Philosophers_ prescribed) a thing necessary, for due manuring of the earth, for _Nauigation_, for the Alteration of mans body: being, whole, Sicke, wounded, or brused. By the Reuolution, also, or mouing of the Globe Cosmographicall, the Rising and Setting of the Sonne: the Lengthes, of dayes and nightes: the Houres and times (both night and day) are knowne: with very many other pleasant and necessary vses: Wherof, some are knowne: but better remaine, for such to know and vse: [->] who of a sparke of true fire, can make a wonderfull bonfire, by applying of due matter, duely. +%Of Astrologie%+, here I make an Arte, seuerall from _Astronomie_: not by new deuise, but by good reason and authoritie: for, +Astrologie, is an Arte Mathematicall, which reasonably demonstrateth the operations and effectes, of the naturall beames, of light, and secrete influence: of the Sterres and Planets: in euery element and elementall body: at all times, in any Horizon assigned.+ This Arte is furnished with many other great Artes and experiences: As with perfecte _Perspectiue_, _Astronomie_, _Cosmographie_, _Naturall Philosophie_ of the 4. Elementes, the Arte
