forme declares, but every mans minde is himselfe, not that figure which may be demonstrated by the finger: And the Philosopher _Anaxarchus_ while the Tyrant _Nicocreon_ of _Cyprus_, caused him to be brayed in a great Marble Morter, cried out with a loud voice, _Stampe hard, bruise the barke of Anaxarchus, for it is not him that thou stampest_. But will it be permitted for me here, to bring something of _Metubales_? All that is, is either Invisible, or Visible; Intellectuall, or Sensible; Agent, and Patient; Forme, and Matter; Spirit, and Body; the Interiour and the Exteriour man; Fire, and Water; that which seeth, and that which is seen. But that which seeth is much more excellent and more worthy then that which is seen, and there is nothing that seeth, but the invisible, where that which is seene, is as a blind thing; therefore Water is a proper and serviceable subject, over whom the Fire or Spirit may out-stretch his action. Also he hath elevated it for his habitation and residence; for by introducing it, he elevates it on high in the nature of Aire contiguous unto it: which invisible Spirit (of the Lord was carryed on the waters, or rather did sit over the waters) did see the visible, moved the immoveable, for water hath no motion of it selfe; there is none but Aire, and Fire, that have, and speake by the Organs of one that is dumb; for as when by our winde and breath, filling a pipe or flute, we make it sound though never so mute.
