Herelies a wonderful virtue, worth,and efficacy in Numbers, as well to good, as to bad ; and they fay, Angels may be as fre- quently converft with as Devils, by the direction and help of the Figure before ; and the eminent Philosophers do unani- moufly teach, and learned Doftors, both in Divinity, in the Law, and Do&ors of Phyftck , and inoccult myfteries in Chi- miftry , and in Rofie Crucian fecrets pra- aife.
As St. Hieronty Auftin^ Origen, Ambrofiy Gregery Nazianzen, AtbanafiusyB£filiuf,Hil- latins, RubanHSy Bede, and many more, as #. Lully, Diodorus Sicnlw , &c. confirm. Hence Hillarm.in his Commentaries up- on the Pfalmes teftifies , that the feventy Elders, according to the efficacy of Num- bers, brought the Pfalmes into order: Ra- hanus alfoa famous Doftor, compofed an excellent book of the vermes of Num- bers. But now how great vertues Num- bers have in nature,is manifeft in the herb which is called Cinquefoil^ i e. five ieaved- graffe, for this refills poyfon by vertue of the dumber five; it drives away Devils, conduceth to expiation , and one leaf of it taken two times in a day in Wine, cures the Feaver of one day ; three the Tertian Feaver,four the Quartan; in like manner four grains of the feed of Jurnfole being

Thefe and many others we read of in feveral Authors ; we mult know now whence thefe are done , which certainly have a caufe, which is a various proporti- on of various Numbers amongft them- felves : there is alfo a wonderful experi- ment cf the Number of feven, that every feventh Male born without a Female coming betwixt, hath power to cure the Kings Evil by his touch alone, or word: Alio every feventh Daughter that is born, Rofie Crucians fay, wonderfully helpeth forward the birth of Children , and fo doth the Sun give the like vertue to Au- rum potable, as Dr. Culpepper often experi- enced 5 neither is the natural Number here confidered, but the formal conside- ration that is in the Number: And thefe Numbers are not in vocal , or Numbers of Merchants,, buying and felling, but in rational, formal and natural : Thefe are diftinft Myfteries of God and Nature j but he that knows how to Joyn together the vocal Numbers and natural with di- vine.,

The Rofie Crucians prognofticate many things by the numbers ot names,and you mu ft know , that fimple Numbers (ignitie Divine things : Number of ten Celefiial, number, of an hundred Terreitnal3num- ber of a thoufand, thofe things that mall be in future age ; befides feeing the parts of the mind are according to an Arithme- tical mediocrity, by reafon of the iden- tity, orequalityof excefs, coupled toge- ther '■> but the body, whofe parts differiii their greatnefs, is according to a Geome- trical mediocrity compounded : but an Animal confifts of both , viz, foul and body, according to the mediocrity which is fuitable to Harmony : Hence it is that Numbers do work very much upon the Soul, Figures upon the Body, and Harmo- ny upon the whole Animal : And one fayes Numbers
