This do I call +‡Anthropographie‡+. Which is an Art restored, and of my preferment to your Seruice. I pray you, thinke of it, as of one of the chief pointes, of Humane knowledge. Although it be, but now, first Cõfirmed, with this new name: yet the matter, hath from the beginning, ben in consideration of all perfect Philosophers. +Anthropographie, is the description of the Number, Measure, Waight, figure, Situation, and colour of euery diuerse thing, conteyned in the perfect body of MAN: with certain knowledge of the Symmetrie, figure, waight, Characterization, and due locall motion, of any parcell of the sayd body, assigned: and of Nũbers, to the sayd parcell appertainyng.+ This, is the one part of the Definition, mete for this place: Sufficient to notifie, the particularitie, and excellency of the Arte: and why it is, here, ascribed to the Mathematicals. Yf the description of the heauenly part of the world, had a peculier Art, called _Astronomie:_ If the description of the earthly Globe, hath his peculier arte, called _Geographie_. If the Matching of both, hath his peculier Arte, called _Cosmographie:_ Which is the Descriptiõ of the whole, and vniuersall frame of the world: Why should not the description of [MAN is the Lesse World.] him, who is the Lesse world: and, frõ the beginning, called _Microcosmus_ (that is. _The Lesse World._) And for whose sake, and seruice, all bodily creatures els, were created: Who, also, participateth with Spirites, and Angels: and is made to the Image and similitude of _God_: haue his peculier Art? and be called the _Arte of Artes_: rather, then, either to want a name, or to haue to base and impropre a name? You must of sundry professions, borow or challenge home, peculier partes hereof: and farder procede: as, God, Nature, Reason and Experience shall informe you. The Anatomistes will restore to you, some part: The Physiognomistes, some: The Chyromantistes some. The Metaposcopistes, some: The excellent, _Albert Durer_, a good part: the Arte of Perspectiue, will somwhat, for the Eye, helpe forward: _Pythagoras_, _Hipocrates_, _Plato_, _Galenus_, _Meletius_, & many other (in certaine thinges) will be Contributaries. And farder, the Heauen, the Earth, and all other Creatures, will eche shew, and offer their Harmonious seruice, to fill vp, that, which wanteth hereof: and with your own Experience, concluding: you may Methodically register the whole, for the posteritie: Whereby, good profe will be had, of our Harmonious, and [Micro Cosmus.] Microcosmicall constitution. [* ☞] The outward Image, and vew hereof: to the Art of _Zographie_ and Painting, to Sculpture, and Architecture: (for Church, House, Fort, or Ship) is most necessary and profitable: for that, it is the chiefe base and foundation of them.
