It may not be generally known that Comenius was once solicited to become President of Harvard College. The following is a quotation from Vol. II, p. 14, of Cotton Mather’s Magnalia:

“That brave old man, Johannes Amos Commenius, the fame of whose worth has been TRUMPETTED as far as more than three languages (whereof everyone is indebted unto his Janua) could carry it, was indeed agreed withal, by one Mr. Winthrop in his travels through the LOW COUNTRIES, to come over to New England, and illuminate their Colledge and COUNTRY, in the quality of a President, which was now become vacant. But the solicitations of the Swedish Ambassador diverting him another way, that incomparable Moravian became not an American.”

This was on the resignation of President Dunster, in 1654—Note of Prof. Payne, Compayre’s History of Education, Boston, 1886, p. 125.

Editor’s Preface.


When it is remembered that this work is not only an educational classic of prime importance, but that it was the first picture-book ever made for children and was for a century the most popular text-book in Europe, and yet has been for many years unattainable on account of its rarity, the wonder is, not that it is reproduced now but that it has not been reproduced before. But the difficulty has been to find a satisfactory copy. Many as have been the editions, few copies have been preserved. It was a book children were fond of and wore out in turning the leaves over and over to see the pictures. Then as the old copper-plates became indistinct they were replaced by wood-engravings, of coarse execution, and often of changed treatment. Von Raumer complains that the edition of 1755 substitutes for the original cut of the Soul, (No. 43, as here given,) a picture of an eye, and in a table the figures I. I. II. I. I. II., and adds that it is difficult to recognize in this an expressive psychological symbol, and to explain it. In an edition I have, published in Vienna in 1779, this cut is omitted altogether, and indeed there are but 82 in place of the 157 found in earlier editions, the following, as numbered in this edition, being omitted:

1, the alphabet, 2, 36, 43, 45, 66, 68, 75, 76, 78–80, 87, 88, 92–122, 124, 126, 128, 130–141.

iv

On the other hand, the Vienna edition contains a curious additional cut. It gives No. 4, the Heaven, practically as in this edition, but puts another cut under it in which the earth is revolving about the sun; and after the statement of Comenius, “Coelum rotatur, et ambit terram, in medio stantem” interpolates: “prout veteres crediderunt; recentiores enim defendunt motum terrae circa solem” [as the ancients used to think; for later authorities hold that the motion of the earth is about the sun.]

Two specimen pages from another edition are inserted in Payne’s Compayré’s History of Education (between pp. 126, 127). The cut is the representative of No. 103 in this edition, but those who compare them will see not only how much coarser is the execution of the wood-cut Prof. Payne has copied, but what liberties have been taken with the design. The only change in the Latin text, however, is from Designat Figuras rerum in the original, to Figuram rerum designat.

In this edition the cuts are unusually clear copies of the copper-plates of the first edition of 1658, from which we have also taken the Latin text. The text for the English translation is from the English edition of 1727, in which for the first time the English words were so arranged as to stand opposite their Latin equivalents.

The cuts have been reproduced with great care by the photographic process. I thought best not to permit them to be retouched, preferring occasional indistinctness to modern tampering with the originals that would make them less authentic.

v

The English text is unchanged from that of the 1727 edition, except in rare instances where substitutions have been made for single words not now permissible. The typography suggests rather than imitates the quaintness of the original, and the paper was carefully selected to produce so far as practicable the impression of the old hand-presses.

In short my aim has been to put within the reach of teachers at a moderate price a satisfactory reproduction of this important book; and if the sale of the Orbis Pictus seems to warrant it, I hope subsequently to print as a companion volume the Vestibulum and Janua of the same author, of which I have choice copies.

Comments upon the Orbis Pictus.


During four years he here prosecuted his efforts in behalf of education with commendable success, and wrote, among other works, his celebrated Orbis Pictus, which has passed through a great many editions, and survived a multitude of imitations. —Smith’s History of Education, N.Y., 1842, p. 129.

The most eminent educator of the seventeenth century, however, was John Amos Comenius . . . . . . His Orbis Sensualium Pictus, published in 1657, enjoyed a still higher renown. The text was much the same with the Janua, being intended as a kind of elementary encyclopædia; but it differed from all previous text-books, in being illustrated with pictures, on copper and wood, of the various topics discussed in it. This book was universally popular. In those portions of Germany where the schools had been broken up by the “Thirty years’ war,” mothers taught their children from its pages. Corrected and amended by later editors, it continued for nearly two hundred years, to be a text-book of the German schools. —History and Progress of Education, by Philobiblius, N.Y., 1860, p. 210.

The “Janua” would, therefore, have had but a short-lived popularity with teachers, and a still shorter with learners, if Comenius had not carried out his vii principle of appealing to the senses, and called in the artist. The result was the “Orbis Pictus,” a book which proved a favorite with young and old, and maintained its ground in many a school for more than a century . . . . I am sorry I cannot give a specimen of this celebrated book with its quaint pictures. The artist, of course, was wanting in the technical skill which is now commonly displayed even in the cheapest publications, but this renders his delineations none the less entertaining. As a picture of the life and manners of the seventeenth century, the work has great historical interest, which will, I hope, secure for it another English edition. —Quick’s Educational Reformers, 1868; Syracuse edition, p. 79.

But the principle on which he most insisted is that the teaching of words and things must go together, hand in hand. When we consider how much time is spent over new languages, what waste of energy is lavished on mere preparation, how it takes so long to lay a foundation that there is no time to lay a building upon it, we must conclude that it is in the acceptance and development of this principle that the improvement of education will in the future consist. Any one who attempts to inculcate this great reform will find that its first principles are contained in the writings of Comenius. —Encyclopaedia Britannica, 9th edition, vii. 674.

The first edition of this celebrated book was published at Nuremberg in 1657; soon after a translation was made into English by Charles Hoole. The last English edition appeared in 1777, and this was reprinted in America in 1812. This was the first viii illustrated school-book, and was the first attempt at what now passes under the name of “object lessons.” —Short History of Education, W. H. Payne, Syracuse, 1881, p. 103.

Of these, the “Janua” and the “Orbis” were translated into most European and some of the Oriental languages. It is evident that these practices of Comenius contain the germs of things afterwards connected with the names of Pestalozzi and Stow. It also may be safely assumed that many methods that are now in practical use, were then not unknown to earliest teachers. —Gill’s Systems of Education, London, 1876, p. 13.

The more we reflect on the method of Comenius, the more we shall see it is replete with suggestiveness, and we shall feel surprised that so much wisdom can have lain in the path of schoolmasters for two hundred and fifty years, and that they have never stooped to avail themselves of its treasures. —Browning’s Introduction to the History of Educational Theories, 1882, New York edition, p. 67.

The “Orbis Pictus,” the first practical application of the intuitive method, had an extraordinary success, and has served as a model for the innumerable illustrated books which for three centuries have invaded the schools. —Compayre’s History of Pedagogy, Payne’s translation, Boston, 1886, p. 127.

He remained at Patak four years, which were characterized by surprising literary activity. During this short period he produced no less than fifteen different works, among them his “World Illustrated” (Orbis Pictus), the most famous of all his writings. ix It admirably applied the principle that words and things should be learned together . . . . The “World Illustrated” had an enormous circulation, and remained for a long time the most popular text-book in Europe. —Painter’s History of Education, N.Y., 1886, p. 206.

Or, si ce livre n’est qu’un équivalent de la véritable intuition; si, ensuite, le contenu du tout paraît fort défectueux, au point de vue de la science de nos jours; si, enfin, un effort exagéré pour l’intégrité de la conception de l’enfant a créé, pour les choses modernes, trop de dénominations latines qui paraissent douteuses, l’Orbis pictus était pourtant, pour son temps, une oeuvre très originale et très spirituelle, qui fit faire un grand progrès à la pédagogie et servit longtemps de livre d’école utile et de modèle à d’innombrables livres d’images, souvent pires. —Histoire d’Éducation, Frederick Dittes, Redolfi’s French translation, Paris, 1880, p. 178.

Here Comenius wrote, among others, his second celebrated work the “Orbis Pictus.” He was not, however, able to finish it in Hungary for want of a skilful engraver on copper. For such a one he carried it to Michael Endter, the bookseller at Nuremberg, but the engraving delayed the publication of the book for three years more. In 1657 Comenius expressed the hope that it would appear during the next autumn. With what great approbation the work was received at its first appearance, is shown by the fact that within two years, in 1659, Endter had published a second enlarged edition. —Karl Von x Raumer, translated in Barnard’s Journal of Education, v. 260.

The “Janua” had an enormous sale, and was published in many languages, but the editions and sale of the “Orbis Pictus” far exceeded those of the “Janua,” and, indeed, for some time it was the most popular text-book in Europe, and deservedly so. —Laurie’s John Amos Comenius, Boston edition, p. 185.

The Author’s Preface to the Reader.


Instruction is the means to expel Rudeness, with which young wits ought to be well furnished in Schools: But so, as that the teaching be 1. True, 2. Full, 3. Clear, and 4. Solid.

1. It will be true, if nothing be taught but such as is beneficial to ones life; lest there be a cause of complaining afterwards. We know not necessary things, because we have not learned things necessary.

2. It will be full, if the mind be polished for wisdom, the tongue for eloquence, and the hands for a neat way of living. This will be that grace of one’s life, to be wise, to act, to speak.

3, 4. It will be clear, and by that, firm and solid, if whatever is taught and learned, be not obscure, or confused, but apparent, distinct, and articulate, as the fingers on the hands.

The ground of this business, is, that sensual objects may be rightly presented to the senses, for fear they may not be received. I say, and say it again aloud, that this last is the foundation of all the rest: because we can neither act nor speak wisely, unless we first rightly understand all the things which are xiv to be done, and whereof we are to speak. Now there is nothing in the understanding, which was not before in the sense. And therefore to exercise the senses well about the right perceiving the differences of things, will be to lay the grounds for all wisdom, and all wise discourse, and all discreet actions in ones course of life. Which, because it is commonly neglected in schools, and the things which are to be learned are offered to scholars, without being understood or being rightly presented to the senses, it cometh to pass, that the work of teaching and learning goeth heavily onward, and affordeth little benefit.

See here then a new help for schools, A Picture and Nomenclature of all the chief things in the world, and of men’s actions in their way of living: Which, that you, good Masters, may not be loath to run over with your scholars, I will tell you, in short, what good you may expect from it.

It is a little Book, as you see, of no great bulk, yet a brief of the whole world, and a whole language: full of Pictures, Nomenclatures, and Descriptions of things.

I. The Pictures are the representation of all visible things, (to which also things invisible are reduced after their fashion) of the whole world. And that in that very order of things, in which they are described in the Janua Latinæ Linguæ; and with that fulness, that nothing very necessary or of great concernment is omitted.

II. The Nomenclatures are the Inscriptions, or Titles set every one over their own Pictures, expressing the whole thing by its own general term.

xv

III. The Descriptions are the explications of the parts of the Picture, so expressed by their own proper terms, as that same figure which is added to every piece of the picture, and the term of it, always sheweth what things belongeth one to another.

Which such Book, and in such a dress may (I hope) serve,

I. To entice witty children to it, that they may not conceit a torment to be in the school, but dainty fare. For it is apparent, that children (even from their infancy almost) are delighted with Pictures, and willingly please their eyes with these lights: And it will be very well worth the pains to have once brought it to pass, that scare-crows may be taken away out of Wisdom’s Gardens.

II. This same little Book will serve to stir up the Attention, which is to be fastened upon things, and even to be sharpened more and more: which is also a great matter. For the Senses (being the main guides of childhood, because therein the mind doth not as yet raise up itself to an abstracted contemplation of things) evermore seek their own objects, and if they be away, they grow dull, and wry themselves hither and thither out of a weariness of themselves: but when their objects are present, they grow merry, wax lively, and willingly suffer themselves to be fastened upon them, till the thing be sufficiently discerned. This Book then will do a good piece of service in taking (especially flickering) wits, and preparing them for deeper studies.

III. Whence a third good will follow; that children being won hereunto, and drawn over with this xvi way of heeding, may be furnished with the knowledge of the prime things that are in the world, by sport and merry pastime. In a word, this Book will serve for the more pleasing using of the Vestibulum and Janua Linguarum, for which end it was even at the first chiefly intended. Yet if it like any, that it be bound up in their native tongues also, it promiseth three good thing of itself.

I. First it will afford a device for learning to read more easily than hitherto, especially having a symbolical alphabet set before it, to wit, the characters of the several letters, with the image of that creature, whose voice that letter goeth about to imitate, pictur’d by it. For the young Abc scholar will easily remember the force of every character by the very looking upon the creature, till the imagination being strengthened by use, can readily afford all things; and then having looked over a table of the chief syllables also (which yet was not thought necessary to be added to this book) he may proceed to the viewing of the Pictures, and the inscriptions set over ’em. Where again the very looking upon the thing pictured suggesting the name of the thing, will tell him how the title of the picture is to be read. And thus the whole book being gone over by the bare titles of the pictures, reading cannot but be learned; and indeed too, which thing is to be noted, without using any ordinary tedious spelling, that most troublesome torture of wits, which may wholly be avoided by this method. For the often reading over the Book, by those larger descriptions of things, and which are set after the Pictures, will be able perfectly to beget a habit of reading.

xvii

II. The same book being used in English, in English Schools, will serve for the perfect learning of the whole English tongue, and that from the bottom; because by the aforesaid descriptions of things, the words and phrases of the whole language are found set orderly in their own places. And a short English Grammar might be added at the end, clearly resolving the speech already understood into its parts; shewing the declining of the several words, and reducing those that are joined together under certain rules.

III. Thence a new benefit cometh, that that very English Translation may serve for the more ready and pleasant learning of the Latin tongue: as one may see in this Edition, the whole book being so translated, that every where one word answereth to the word over against it, and the book is in all things the same, only in two idioms, as a man clad in a double garment. And there might be also some observations and advertisements added in the end, touching those things only, wherein the use of the Latin tongue differeth from the English. For where there is no difference, there needeth no advertisement to be given. But, because the first tasks of learners ought to be little and single, we have filled this first book of training one up to see a thing of himself, with nothing but rudiments, that is, with the chief of things and words, or with the grounds of the whole world, and the whole language, and of all our understanding about things. If a more perfect description of things, and a fuller knowledge of a language, and a clearer light of the understanding be xviii sought after (as they ought to be) they are to be found somewhere whither there will now be an easy passage by this our little Encyclopædia of things subject to the senses. Something remaineth to be said touching the more chearful use of this book.

I. Let it be given to children into their hands to delight themselves withal as they please, with the sight of the pictures, and making them as familiar to themselves as may be, and that even at home before they be put to school.

II. Then let them be examined ever and anon (especially now in the school) what this thing or that thing is, and is called, so that they may see nothing which they know not how to name, and that they can name nothing which they cannot shew.

III. And let the things named them be shewed, not only in the Picture, but also in themselves; for example, the parts of the body, clothes, books, the house, utensils, &c.

IV. Let them be suffered also to imitate the Pictures by hand, if they will, nay rather, let them be encouraged, that they may be willing: first, thus to quicken the attention also towards the things; and to observe the proportion of the parts one towards another; and lastly to practise the nimbleness of the hand, which is good for many things.

V. If anything here mentioned, cannot be presented to the eye, it will be to no purpose at all to offer them by themselves to the scholars; as colours, relishes, &c., which cannot here be pictured out with ink. For which reason it were to be wished, that things rare and not easy to be met withal at home, xix might be kept ready in every great school, that they may be shewed also, as often as any words are to be made of them, to the scholars.

Thus at last this school would indeed become a school of things obvious to the senses, and an entrance to the school intellectual. But enough: Let us come to the thing it self.

The Translator, to all judicious and industrious School-Masters.


Gentlemen.

There are a few of you (I think) but have seen, and with great willingness made use of (or at least perused,) many of the Books of this well-deserving Author Mr. John Comenius, which for their profitableness to the speedy attainment of a language, have been translated in several countries, out of Latin into their own native tongue.

Now the general verdict (after trial made) that hath passed, touching those formerly extant, is this, that they are indeed of singular use, and very advantageous to those of more discretion, (especially to such as already have a smattering of Latin) to help their memories to retain what they have scatteringly gotten here and there, to furnish them with many words, which (perhaps) they had not formerly read, or so well observed; but to young children (whom we have chiefly to instruct) as those that are ignorant altogether of things and words, and prove rather a meer toil and burthen, than a delight and furtherance.

For to pack up many words in memory, of things not conceived in the mind, is to fill the head with empty imaginations, and to make the learner more xxi to admire the multitude and variety (and thereby, to become discouraged,) than to care to treasure them up, in hopes to gain more knowledge of what they mean.

He hath therefore in some of his latter works seemed to move retrograde, and striven to come nearer the reach of tender wits: and in this present Book, he hath, according to my judgment, descended to the very bottom of what is to be taught, and proceeded (as nature it self doth) in an orderly way; first to exercise the senses well, by representing their objects to them, and then to fasten upon the intellect by impressing the first notions of things upon it, and linking them on to another by a rational discourse. Whereas indeed, we, generally missing this way, do teach children as we do parrots, to speak they know not what, nay which is worse, we, taking the way of teaching little ones by Grammar only at the first, do puzzle their imaginations with abstractive terms and secondary intentions, which till they be somewhat acquainted with things, and the words belonging to them, in the language which they learn, they cannot apprehend what they mean. And this I guess to be the reason, why many great persons do resolve sometimes not to put a child to school till he be at least eleven or twelve years of age, presuming that he having then taken notice of most things, will sooner get the knowledge of the words which are applyed to them in any language. But the gross misdemeanor of such children for the most part, have taught many parents to be hasty enough to send their own to school, if not that they may learn, yet (at least) that they might be kept out xxii of harm’s way; and yet if they do not profit for the time they have been at school, (no respect at all being had for their years) the Master shall be sure enough to bear the blame.

So that a School-master had need to bend his wits to come within the compass of a child’s capacity of six or seven years of age (seeing we have now such commonly brought to our Grammar-schools to learn the Latin Tongue) and to make that they may learn with as much delight and willingness, as himself would teach with dexterity and ease. And at present I know no better help to forward his young scholars than this little Book, which was for this purpose contrived by the Author in the German and Latin Tongues.

What profitable use may be had thereof, respecting chiefly that his own country and language, he himself hath told you in his preface; but what use we may here make of it in our Grammar-schools, as it is now translated into English, I shall partly declare; leaving all other men, according to my wont, to their own discretion and liberty, to use or refuse it, as they please. So soon then as a child can read English perfectly, and is brought to us to school to learn Latin, I would have him together with his Accidence, to be provided of this Book, in which he may at least once a day (beside his Accidence) be thus exercised.

I. Let him look over the pictures with their general titles and inscriptions, till he be able to turn readily to any one of them, and to tell its name either in English or Latin. By this means he shall xxiii have the method of the Book in his head; and be easily furnished with the knowledge of most things; and instructed how to call them, when at any time he meeteth with them elsewhere, in their real forms.

II. Let him read the description at large: First in English, and afterward in Latin, till he can readily read, and distinctly pronounce the words in both Languages, ever minding how they are spelled. And withal, let him take notice of the figures inserted, and to what part of the picture they direct by their like till he be well able to find out every particular thing of himself, and to name it on a sudden, either in English or Latin. Thus he shall not only gain the most primitive words, but be understandingly grounded in Orthography, which is a thing too generally neglected by us; partly because our English schools think that children should learn it at the Latin, and our Latin schools suppose they have already learn’d it at the English; partly, because our common Grammar is too much defective in this part, and scholars so little exercised therein, that they pass from schools to the Universities and return from thence (some of them) more unable to write true English, than either Latin or Greek. Not to speak of our ordinary Tradesmen, many of whom write such false English, that none but themselves can interpret what they scribble in their bills and shop-books.

III. Then let him get the Titles and Descriptions by heart, which he will more easily do, by reason of these impressions which the viewing of the pictures hath already made in his memory. And now let him also learn, 1. To construe, or give the words one by xxiv one, as they answer one another in Latin and English. 2. To Parse, according to the rules, (which I presume by this time) he hath learn’d in the first part of his Accidence; where I would have him tell what part of Speech any word is, and then what accidents belong to it; but especially to decline the nouns and conjugate the verbs according to the Examples in his Rudiments; and this doing will enable him to know the end and use of his Accidence. As for the Rules of Genders of Nouns, and the Præter-perfect-tenses and Supines of Verbs, and those of Concordance and Construction in the latter part of the Accidence, I would not have a child much troubled with them, till by the help of this Book he can perfectly practise so much of Etymology, as concerns the first part of his Accidence only. For that, and this book together, being thoroughly learn’d by at least thrice going them over, will much prepare children to go chearfully forward in their Grammar and School-Authors, especially, if whilst they are employed herein, they be taught also to write a fair and legible hand.

There is one thing to be given notice of, which I wish could have been remedied in this Translation; that the Book being writ in high-Dutch doth express many things in reference to that Country and Speech, which cannot without alteration of some Pictures as well as words be expressed in ours: for the Symbolical Alphabet is fitted for German children rather than for ours. And whereas the words of that Language go orderly one for one with the Latin, our English propriety of Speech will not admit the like. Therefore it will behove those Masters that intend xxv to make use of this Book, to construe it verbatim to their young Scholars, who will quickly learn to do it of themselves, after they be once acquainted with the first words of Nouns, and Verbs, and their manner of variation.

Such a work as this, I observe to have been formerly much desired by some experienced Teachers, and I my self had some years since (whilst my own Child lived) begun the like, having found it most agreeable to the best witted Children, who are most taken up with Pictures from their Infancy, because by them the knowledge of things which they seem to represent (and whereof Children are as yet ignorant) are most easily conveyed to the Understanding. But for as much as the work is now done, though in some things not so completely as it were to be wished, I rejoyce in the use of it, and desist in my own undertakings for the present. And because any good thing is the better, being the more communicated; I have herein imitated a Child who is forward to impart to others what himself has well liked. You then that have the care of little Children, do not much trouble their thoughts and clog their memories with bare Grammar Rudiments, which to them are harsh in getting, and fluid in retaining; because indeed to them they signifie nothing, but a mere swimming notion of a general term, which they know not what it meaneth, till they comprehend particulars, but by this or the like subsidiary, inform them, first with some knowledge of things and words wherewith to express them, and then their Rules of speaking will be better understood and more firmly kept in mind. Else how should a Child conceive what a Rule meaneth, xxvi when he neither knoweth what the Latin word importeth, nor what manner of thing it is which is signified to him in his own native Language, which is given him thereby to understand the Rule? For Rules consisting of generalities, are delivered (as I may say) at a third hand, presuming first the things, and then the words to be already apprehended touching which they are made. I might indeed enlarge upon this Subject, it being the very Basis of our Profession, to search into the way of Childrens taking hold by little and little of what we teach them, that so we may apply ourselves to their reach: But I leave the observation thereof to your own daily exercise, and experience got thereby.

And I pray God, the fountain and giver of all wisdom, that hath bestowed upon us this gift of Teaching, so to inspire and direct us by his Grace, that we may train up Children in his Fear and in the knowledge of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; and then no doubt our teaching and their learning of other things subordinate to these, will by the assistance of his blessed Spirit make them able and willing to do him faithful Service both in Church and Commonwealth, as long as they live here, that so they may be eternally blessed with him hereafter. This, I beseech you, beg for me and mine, as I shall daily do for you and yours, at the throne of God’s heavenly grace; and remain while I live

Ready to serve you, as I truly love and honour you, and labour willingly in the same Profession with you,

CHARLES HOOLE.

From my School, in

Lothbury, London, Jan. 25, 1658.

N.B. Those Heads or Descriptions which concern things beyond the present apprehension of Children’s wits, as, those of Geography, Astronomy, or the like, I would have omitted, till the rest be learned, and a Child be better able to understand them.

The Judgment of Mr. Hezekiah Woodward, sometimes an eminent Schoolmaster in LONDON, touching a work of this Nature; in his Gate to Science, chap. 2.

Certainly the use of Images or Representations is great: If we could make our words as legible to Children as Pictures are, their information therefrom would be quickned and surer. But so we cannot do, though we must do what we can. And if we had Books, wherein are the Pictures of all Creatures, Herbs, Beasts, Fish, Fowls, they would stand us in great stead. For Pictures are the most intelligible Books that Children can look upon. They come closest to Nature, nay, saith Scaliger, Art exceeds her.

xxviii


As there are some considerable Alterations in the present Edition of this Book from the former, it may be expected an Account should be given of the Reasons for them. ’Tis certain from the Author’s Words, that when it was first published, which was in Latin and Hungary, or in Latin and High-Dutch; every where one word answer’d to another over-against it: This might have been observ’d in our English Translation, which wou’d have fully answer’d the design of COMENIUS, and have made the Book much more useful: But Mr. Hoole, (whether out of too much scrupulousness to disturb the Words in some places from the order they were in, or not sufficiently considering the Inconveniences of having the Latin and English so far asunder) has made them so much disagree, that a Boy has sometimes to seek 7 or 8 lines off for the corresponding Word; which is no small trouble to Young Learners who are at first equally unacquainted with all Words, in a Language they are strangers to, except it be such as have Figures of Reference, or are very like in sound; and thus may perhaps, innocently enough join an Adverb in one Tongue, to a Noun in the other; whence may xxix appear the Necessity of the Translation’s being exactly literal, and the two Languages fairly answering one another, Line for Line.

If it be objected, such a thing cou’d not be done (considering the difference of the Idioms) without transplacing Words here and there, and putting them into an order which may not perhaps be exactly classical; it ought to be observed, this is design’d for Boys chiefly, or those who are just entering upon the Latin Tongue, to whom every thing ought to be made as plain and familiar as possible, who are not, at their first beginning, to be taught the elegant placing of Latin, nor from such short Sentences as these, but from Discourses where the Periods have a fuller Close. Besides, this way has already taken (according to the Advice of very good Judges,) in some other School-Books of Mr. Hoole’s translating, and found to succeed abundantly well.

Such Condescensions as these, to the capacities of young Learners are certainly very reasonable, and wou’d be most agreeable to the Intentions of the Ingenious and worthy Author, and his design to suit whatever he taught, to their manner of apprehending it. Whose Excellency in the art of Education made him so famous all over Europe, as to be solicited by several States and Princes to go and reform the Method of their Schools; and whose works carried that Esteem, that in his own Life-time some part of them were not only translated into 12 of the usual Languages of Europe, but also into the Arabic, Turkish, Persian, and Mogolic (the common Tongue of all that part of the East-Indies) and since his death, into xxx the Hebrew, and some others. Nor did they want their due Encouragement here in England, some Years ago; ’till by an indiscreet use of them, and want of a thorow acquaintance with his Method, or unwillingness to part from their old road, they began to be almost quite left off: Yet it were heartily to be wish’d, some Persons of Judgment and Interest, whose Example might have an influence upon others, and bring them into Reputation again, wou’d revive the COMENIAN METHOD, which is no other, than to make our Scholars learn with Delight and chearfulness, and to convey a solid and useful Knowledge of Things, with that of Languages, in an easy, natural and familiar way. Didactic Works (as they are now collected into one volume) for a speedy attaining the Knowledge of Things and Words, join’d with the Discourses of Mr. Lock* and 2 or 3 more out of our own Nation, for forming the Mind and settling good Habits, may doubtless be look’d upon to contain the most reasonable, orderly, and completed System of the Art of Education, that can be met with.

Yet, alas! how few are there, who follow the way they have pointed out? tho’ every one who seriously considers it, must be convinc’d of the Advantage; and the generality of Schools go on in the same old dull road, wherein a great part of Children’s time is lost in a tiresome heaping up a Pack of dry and unprofitable, or pernicious Notions (for surely little xxxi better can be said of a great part of that Heathenish stuff they are tormented with; like the feeding them with hard Nuts, which when they have almost broke their teeth with cracking, they find either deaf or to contain but very rotten and unwholesome Kernels) whilst Things really perfected of the understanding, and useful in every state of Life, are left unregarded, to the Reproach of our Nation, where all other Arts are improved and flourish well, only this of Education of Youth is at a stand; as if that, the good or ill management of which is of the utmost consequence to all, were a thing not worth any Endeavors to improve it, or was already so perfect and well executed that it needed none, when many of the greatest Wisdom and Judgment in several Nations, have with a just indignation endeavor’d to expose it, and to establish a more easy and useful way in its room.

’Tis not easy to say little on so important a subject, but thus much may suffice for the present purpose. The Book has merit enough to recommend it self to those who know how to make a right use of it. It was reckon’d one of the Author’s best performances; and besides the many Impressions and Translations it has had in parts beyond Sea, has been several times reprinted here. It was endeavor’d no needless Alterations shou’d be admitted in this Edition, and as little of any as cou’d consist with the design of making it plain and useful; to shun the offence it might give to some; and only the Roman and Italic Character alternately made use of, where transplacing of Words cou’d be avoided.

The Soul of Man.

Chapter 43

The Soul is the Life
of the Body, one in the whole.

Only Vegetative in Plants; Tantùm Vegetativa in
Plantis;
Withal Sensitive in
Animals;
Simul Sensitiva in
Animalibus;
And also rational in
Men.
Etiam Rationalis in
Homine.
This consisteth in three
things;
Hæc consistet in tribus:
In the Understanding,
whereby it judgeth
and understandeth
a thing good and evil,
or true, or apparent.
In Mente (Intellectu)
quâ cognoscit,
& intelligit,
bonum ac malum,
vel verum, vel apparens.
In the Will,
whereby it chooseth,
and desireth,
or rejecteth, and
misliketh a thing known.
In Voluntate,
quâ eligit,
& concupiscit,
aut rejicit, &
aversatur cognitum.
In the Mind,
whereby it pursueth
55 the Good chosen or
avoideth the Evil rejected.
In Animo,
quo prosequitur
Bonum electum, vel
fugit Malum rejectum.

in the desire,
and dislike.
Hinc Spes & Timor,
in cupidine,
& aversatione:
Hence is Love and Joy,
in the Fruition:
Hinc Amor & Gaudium,
in fruitione:
But Anger and Grief,
in suffering.

the false, is Error,
Opinion and Suspicion.

rei, est Scientia;
falsa, Error,
Opinio, Suspicio.

Chapter 105

The Moon shineth
not by her own Light
but that which is borrowed
of the Sun.
Luna, lucet
non sua propria Luce,
sed mutuatâ
a Sole.
For the one half of it
is always enlightned,
the other remaineth darkish.
Nam altera ejus medietas

altera manet caliginosa.
Hereupon we see it in
Conjunction with the Sun, 1.
to be obscure,
almost none at all;

the Full Moon;)
sometimes in the half,

Eclipses.

Chapter 106

The Sun
is the fountain of light,

and the Moon, 2.
being shady bodies,
are not pierced with its rays,
for they cast a shadow
upon the place

Corpora opaca,

Therefore,
when the Moon lighteth

it is darkened,
which we call an Eclipse,
or defect.

But when the Moon
runneth betwixt the Sun
and the Earth, 3.
it covereth it with
its shadow;
and this we call
the Eclipse of the Sun,
because it taketh from us
the sight of the Sun,
and its light;
neither doth the Sun
for all that suffer any thing,
but the Earth.

this to Vertue, 4.

the Entrance, 6. is fair,
but the End, 7.
is ugly and steep down.
Adverte juvenis, 5.

Aditus speciosus, 6.

Go on the right hand,

no way is unpassible

vertue leadeth

Dextera ingredere,

Cave excedas

Prudence.

Prudentia.

Chapter 110

Prudence, 1.
looketh upon all things
138 as a Serpent, 2.
and doeth, speaketh, or
thinketh nothing in vain.
Prudentia, 1.
circumspectat omnia
ut Serpens, 2.
agitque, loquitur, aut
cogitat nihil incassum.
She looks backwards, 3.
as into a Looking-glass, 4.
to things past;
and seeth before her, 5.
as with a Perspective-glass, 7.
things to come,
or the End, 6.
and so she perceiveth
what she hath done, and
what remaineth to be done.
Respicit, 3.
tanquam in Speculum, 4.
ad præterita;
& prospicit, 5.
tanquam Telescopio, 7.
Futura,
seu Finem, 6.
atque ita perspicit
quid egerit, &
quid restet agendum.
She proposeth
an Honest, Profitable
and withal, if it may be done,
a Pleasant End,
to her Actions.*
Actionibus suis*
præfigit Scopum,
Honestum, Utilem,
simulque, si fieri potest,
Jucundum.
Having foreseen the End,
she looketh out Means,
as a Way, 8.
which leadeth to the End;
but such as are certain
and easie, and fewer
rather than more,
lest anything should hinder.
Fine prospecto,
dispicit Media,
ceu Viam, 8.
quæ ducit ad finem,
sed certa
& facilia; pauciora
potiùs quàm plura,

She watcheth Opportunity, 9.
(which having
a bushy fore-head, 10.
and being bald-pated, 11.
and moreover
having wings, 12.
doth quickly slip away,)
and catcheth it.

or go amiss.

Diligence.

Sedulitas.

Chapter 111

Diligence, 1. loveth labours,
avoideth Sloth,
is always at work,
like the Pismire, 2.
and carrieth together,
as she doth, for herself,
Store of all things, 3.
Sedulitas, 1. amat labores,
fugit Ignaviam,
semper est in opere,
ut Formica, 2.
& comportat,
ut illa, sibi,
omnium rerum Copiam, 3.
She doth not always
sleep, or make holidays,
as the Sluggard, 4.
and the Grashopper, 5. do,
whom Want, 6.
at the last overtaketh.
Non semper
dormit, ferias agit,
aut ut Ignavus, 4.
& Cicada, 5.
quos Inopia, 6.
tandem premit.
She pursueth what things
she hath undertaken
chearfully,
even to the end;
she putteth nothing off
till the morrow,
nor doth she sing
the Crow’s song, 7.
which saith over and over,
140 Cras, Cras.
Urget incepta
 
alacriter
ad finem usque;
procrastinat nihil,
 
nec cantat
cantilenam Corvi, 7.
qui ingeminat
Cras, Cras.
After labours
undergone
, and ended,
being even wearied,
she resteth her self;
but being refreshed with Rest,
that she may not use her self
to Idleness, she falleth again
to her Business,
Post labores
exantlatos
,
& lassata,
quiescit;
sed recreata Quiete,
ne adsuescat
Otio, redit
ad Negotia.
A diligent Scholar
is like Bees, 8.
which carry honey
from divers Flowers, 9.
into their Hive, 10.
Diligens Discipulus,
similis est Apibus, 8.
qui congerunt mel

Temperance.

Temperantia.

Chapter 112

Temperance, 1.
prescribeth a mean
to meat and drink, 2.
and restraineth the desire,
as with a Bridle, 3.
141 and so moderateth all things,
lest any thing
too much be done.
Temperantia, 1.
præscribit modum
Cibo & Potui, 2.
& continet cupidinem,
ceu Freno, 3.
& sic moderatur omnia
ne quid
nimis fiat.
Revellers
are made drunk, 4.
they stumble, 5.
they spue, 6.
and babble, 7.*
Heluones (ganeones)
inebriantur, 4.
titubant, 5.
ructant (vomunt), 6.
& rixantur, 7.
From Drunkenness
proceedeth Lasciviousness;
from this a lewd Life
amongst Whoremasters, 8.
and Whores, 9.
in kissing,
touching,
embracing,
and dancing, 10.
E Crapula
oritur Lascivia;

palpando,
amplexando,

CXIII.

Fortitude.

Fortitudo.

Chapter 113

Fortitude, 1.
is undaunted in adversity,
142 and bold as a Lion, 2. but
not haughty in Prosperity,
leaning on her own Pillar, 3.
Constancy, and
being the same in all things,
ready to undergo both
estates with an even mind.
Fortitudo, 1.
impavida est in adversis,
& confidens ut Leo, 2. at
non tumida in Secundis,
innixa suo Columini, 3.
Constantiæ; &
eadem in omnibus,
parata ad ferendam utramque
fortunam æquo animo.
She receiveth the strokes
of Misfortune
with the Shield, 4.
of Sufferance: and
keepeth off the Passions,
the enemies of quietness
with the Sword, 5.
of Valour.
Excipit ictus
Infortunii
Clypeo, 4.
Tolerantiæ: &
propellit Affectus,
hostes Euthymiæ

CXIV.

Patience.

Patientia.

Chapter 114

Patience, 1.
endureth Calamities, 2.
143 and Wrongs, 3. meekly
like a Lamb, 4.
as the Fatherly
chastisement of God, 5.
Patientia, 1.
tolerat Calamitates, 2.
& Injurias, 3. humiliter
ut Agnus, 4.
tanquam paternam
ferulam Dei, 5.
In the meanwhile she leaneth
upon the Anchor of Hope, 6.
(as a Ship, 7.
tossed by waves in the Sea)
she prayeth to God, 8.
weeping,
and expecteth the Sun, 10.
after cloudy weather, 9.
suffering evils,
and hoping better things.
Interim innititur
Spei Anchoræ, 6.
(ut Navis, 7.
fluctuans mari)
Deo supplicat, 8.
illacrymando,
& expectat Phœbum, 10.
post Nubila, 9.
ferens mala,
sperans meliora.
On the contrary,
the impatient person, 11.
waileth, lamenteth,
rageth against himself, 12.
grumbleth like a Dog, 13.
and yet doth no good;
at the last he despaireth,
and becometh
his own Murtherer, 14.
Contra,
Impatiens, 11.
plorat, lamentatur,
debacchatur, 12. in seipsum,
obmurmurat ut Canis, 13.
& tamen nil proficit;
tandem desperat,

Autochir, 14.
Being full of rage he desireth
to revenge wrongs.
Furibundus cupit
vindicare injurias.
144

Humanity.

Humanitas.

Chapter 115

Men are made

therefore let them be kind.
Homines facti sunt

Be thou sweet and lovely
in thy Countenance, 1.
gentle and civil

affable and true spoken

Justice.

Justitia.

Chapter 116

Justice, 1.
is painted, sitting
on a square stone, 2. for
she ought to be immoveable;
with hood-winked eyes, 3.
that she may not respect
persons;
stopping the left ear, 4.
146 to be reserved
for the other party;
Justitia, 1.
pingitur, sedens
in lapide quadrato, 2. nam
decet esse immobilis;
obvelatis oculis, 3.
ad non respiciendum
personas;
claudens aurem sinistram, 4.
reservandam
alteri parti;
Holding in her right Hand
a Sword, 5.
and a Bridle, 6.
to punish
and restrain evil men;
Tenens dextrâ
Gladium, 5.
& Frænum, 6.
ad puniendum
& coërcendum malos;
Besides,
a pair of Balances, 7.
in the right Scale, 8. whereof
Deserts,
and in the left, 9.
Rewards being put,
are made even one with another,
and so good Men
are incited to virtue,
as it were with Spurs, 10.
Præterea,

In Bargains, 11.
let Men deal candidly,
let them stand to their
Covenants and Promises;
let that which is given one to keep,
and that which is lent,
be restored:
let no man be pillaged, 12.
or hurt, 13.
let every one have his own:
these are the precepts
of Justice.
In Contractibus, 11.
candidè agatur:
stetur

Liberality.

Liberalitas.

Chapter 117

Liberality, 1.
keepeth a mean about Riches,
which she honestly seeketh,
that she may have
somewhat to bestow
on them that want, 2.
Liberalitas, 1.
servat modum circa Divitias,
quas honestè quærit
ut habeat
quod largiatur
Egenis, 2.

and a winged hand, 7.
Hos vestit, 3.
nutrit, 4.
ditat, 5.
Vultu hilari, 6.
& Manu alatâ, 7.
She submitteth her
wealth, 8. to her self,
not her self to it,
as the covetous man, 9. doth,
who hath,
that he may have,
and is not the Owner,
but the Keeper of his goods,
and being unsatiable,
always scrapeth together, 10.
with his Nails.
Subjicit
opes, 8. sibi,
non se illis,
ut Avarus, 9.
qui habet,
ut habeat,
& non est Possessor
sed Custos bonorum suorum,
& insatiabilis,
semper corradit, 10.
Unguibus suis.
148 Moreover he spareth
and keepeth,
hoarding up, 11.
that he may always have.
Sed & parcit
& adservat,
occludendo, 11.
ut semper habeat.
But the Prodigal, 12.
badly spendeth
things well gotten,
and at the last wanteth.
At Prodigus, 12.
malè disperdit
benè parta,

Society betwixt Man and Wife.

Societas Conjugalis.

Chapter 118

Marriage
was appointed by God
in Paradise,
for mutual help,
and the Propagation
of mankind.
Matrimonium
institutum est à Deo
in Paradiso,
ad mutuum adjutorium,
& propagationem
generis humani.
A young man (a single man)
being to be married,
should be furnished
either with Wealth,
or a Trade and Science,
149 which may serve
for getting a living;
that he may be able
to maintain a Family.
Vir Juvenis (Cœlebs)
conjugium initurus,
instructus sit
aut Opibus,
aut Arte & Scientiâ,
quæ sit
de pane lucrando;
ut possit
sustentare Familiam.
Then he chooseth himself
a Maid that is Marriageable,
(or a Widow)
whom he loveth;
nevertheless a greater Regard
is to be had of Virtue,
and Honesty,
than of Beauty or Portion.
Deinde eligit sibi
Virginem Nubilem,
(aut Viduam)
quam adamat;
ubi tamen major ratio
habenda Virtutis
& Honestatis,
quàm Formæ aut Dotis.
Afterwards, he doth not
betroth her to himself closely,
but entreateth for her
as a Woer,
first to the Father, 1.
and then the Mother, 2.
or the Guardians,
or Kinsfolks, by
such as help to make the match, 3.
Posthæc, non
clam despondet sibi eam,
sed ambit,
ut Procus,
apud Patrem, 1.
& Matrem, 2.
vel apud Tutores,
& Cognatos, per
Pronubos, 3.
When she is espous’d to him,
he becometh the Bridegroom, 4.
and she the Bride, 5.
and the Contract is made
and an Instrument of Dowry 6.
is written.
Eâ sibi desponsâ,
fit Sponsus, 4.
& ipsa Sponsa, 5.
fiuntque Sponsalia,
& scribitur
Instrumentum Dotale, 6.
At the last
the Wedding is made,
where they are joined together
by the Priest, 7.
giving their Hands, 8.
one to another
and Wedding-rings, 9.
then they feast with
the witnesses that are invited.
Tandem
fiunt Nuptiæ
ubi copulantur
à Sacerdote, 7.
datis Manibus, 8.
ultrò citroque,
& Annulis Nuptialibus, 9.
tum epulantur cum
invitatis testibus.
After this they are called
Husband and Wife;
when she is dead he becometh
a Widower.
Abhinc dicuntur
Maritus & Uxor;
hâc mortuâ ille fit
Viduus.

They had also
Womanly Deities:
such as were Venus, 7.
the Goddess of Loves,
and Pleasures, with
her little son Cupid, 8.
Minerva (Pallas), with
the nine Muses of Arts;
Juno, of Riches and Weddings;
Vesta, of Chastity;
Ceres, of Corn;
Diana, of Hunting,
and Fortune;
and besides these Morbona,

ac Febris ipsa.
The Egyptians,
instead of God
worshipped all sorts
of Beasts and Plants,
and whatsoever they saw
first in the morning.
Ægyptii,
pro Deo
colebant omne genus
Animalium & Plantarum,
& quicquid conspiciebantur
primum mane.
The Philistines offered

Judaism.

Judaismus.

Chapter 146

Yet the true Worship
of the true God,
remained with the Patriarchs,
who lived before
and after the Flood.
Verus tamem Cultus
veri Dei,
remansit apud Patriarchas,
qui vixerunt ante
& post Diluvium.
Amongst these,
that Seed of the Woman,
the Messias of the World,
was promised to Abraham, 1.
the Founder of the Jews,
the Father of them that believe:
and he (being called away
from the Gentiles)
with his Posterity,
being marked with
the Sacrament of Circumcision, 2.
made a peculiar people,
and Church of God.
Inter hos,
Semen illud Mulieris,
Messias Mundi,
promissus est Abrahamo. 1.
Conditori Judæorum,
Patri credentium:
& ipse (avocatus
a Gentilibus)
cum Posteris,
notatus Sacramento
Circumcisionis
, 2.
constitutus singularis populus,
& Ecclesia Dei.
Afterwards God
gave his Law,
written with his own Finger
in Tables of Stone, 5.
to this people
187 by Moses, 3.
in Mount Sinai, 4.
Postea Deus
exhibuit Legem suam,
scriptam Digito suo
in Tabulis Lapideis, 5.
huic Populo
per Mosen, 3.
in Monte Sinai, 4.
Furthermore, he ordained
the eating the Paschal Lamb, 6.
and Sacrifices
to be offered upon an Altar, 7.
by Priests, 8.
and Incense, 9. and commanded
a Tabernacle, 10.
with the Ark of the Covenant, 11.
to be made:
and besides,
a brazen Serpent, 12.
to be set up against
the biting of Serpents in
the Wilderness.
Porrò ordinavit
manducationem Agni
Paschalis
, 6. & Sacrificia
offerenda in Altari, 7.
per Sacerdotes, 8.
& Suffitus, 9. & jussit
Tabernaculum, 10.
cum Arca Fœderis, 11.
fieri:
præterea,
æneum Serpentem, 12.
erigi contra
morsum Serpentum in
Deserto.
All which things
were Types of the Messias
to come, whom
the Jews yet look for.
Quæ omnia
Typi erant Messiæ
venturi, quem
Judæi adhuc expectant.

CXLVII.

Christianity.

Christianismus.

Chapter 147

The only begotten eternal
Son of God, 3.
188 being promised to
our first Parents in Paradise,
at the last being conceived
by the Holy Ghost,
in the most Holy Womb
of the Virgin Mary, 1.
of the royal house of David
and clad with humane flesh,
came into the World
at Bethlehem of Judæa,
in the extream poverty
of a Stable, 2.
in the fullness of time,
in the year of the world 3970,
but pure from all sin,
and the name of Jesus
was given him,
which signifieth a Saviour.
Unigenitus æternus
Dei Filius, 3.
promissus
Protoplastis in Paradiso,
tandem conceptus
per Sanctum Spiritum
in sanctissimo utero
Virginis Mariæ, 1.
de domo regiâ Davidis,
& indutus humanâ carne,
prodiit in mundum
Bethlehemæ Judæâ,
in summâ paupertate
Stabuli, 2.
impleto tempore,
Anno Mundi 3970,
sed mundus ab omni peccato
& nomen Jesu
impositum fuit ei,
quod significat Salvatorem.
When he was sprinkled
with holy Baptism, 4.
(the Sacrament
of the new Covenant)
by John
his Forerunner, 5.
in Jordan,
the most sacred Mystery
of the divine Trinity,
appear’d
by the Father’s voice, 6.
(whereby he testified
that this was his Son)
and the Holy Ghost
in the shape of a Dove, 7.
coming down from Heaven.
Hic, cum imbueretur
sacro Baptismo, 4.
(Sacramento
novi Fœderis
)
à Johanne
præcursore suo, 5.
in Jordane
apparuit
sacratissimum Mysterium
Divinæ Trinitatis,
Patris voce, 6.
(quâ testabatur
hunc esse Filium suum)
& Spiritu sancto
in specie Columbæ, 7.
delabente cœlitus.
From that time,
being the 30th year of his Age,
unto the fourth year,
he declared who he was,
his words and works
manifesting his Divinity,
being neither owned,
nor entertained by the Jews,
because of his voluntary poverty.
Ab eo tempore,
tricesimo anno ætatis suæ,
usque an annum quartum,
declaravit quis esset,
verbis & operibus
præ se ferentibus Divinitatem,
nec agnitus,
nec acceptus a Judæis,
ob voluntariam paupertatem.
189 He was at last taken by
these (when he had first
instituted the Mystical Supper, 8.
of his Body and Blood
for a Seal
of the new Covenant and
the remembrance of himself)
carried to the Judgment-seat
of Pilate
,
Governour under Cæsar,
accused and condemned
as an innocent Lamb; and
being fastned upon a Cross, 9.
he dyed, being
sacrificed upon the Altar
for the sins of the World.
Captus tandem ab
his (quum prius
instituisset Cœnam Mysticam, 8.
Corporis & Sanguinis sui,
in Sigillum
novi Fœderis, &
sui recordationem)
raptus ad Tribunal
Pilati
,
Præfecti Cæsarei,
accusatus & damnatus est
Agnus innocentissimus;
actusque in Crucem, 9.
mortem subiit,
immolatus in arâ
pro peccatis mundi.
But when he had revived
by his Divine Power,
he rose again the third day
out of the Grave, 10.
and forty days after
being taken up
from Mount Olivet, 11.
into Heaven, 12.
and returning thither
whence he came,
he vanished as it were,
while the Apostles, 13.
gazed upon him,
Sed quum revixisset
Divinâ suâ Virtute,
resurrexit tertia die
è Sepulchro, 10.
& post dies XL.
sublatus
de Monte Oliveti, 11.
in Cœlum, 12.
& eo rediens
unde venerat,
quasi evanuit,
Apostolis, 13.
aspectantibus,
to whom he sent
his Holy Spirit, 14.
from Heaven, the tenth day
after his Ascension,
and them,
(being filled with his power)
into the World
to preach of him;
being henceforth to come again
to the last Judgment,
sitting in the mean time
190 at the right hand
of the Father
,
and interceding for us.
quibus misit
Spiritum Sanctum, 14.
de Cœlo, decima die
post Ascensum,
ipsos vero,
(hac virtute impletos)
in Mundum
prædicaturos;
olim rediturus
ad Judicium extremum,
interea sedens
ad dextram
Patris
,
& intercedens pro nobis.
From this Christ
we are called Christians,
and are saved in him alone.
Ab hoc Christo
dicimur Christiani,
inque eo solo salvamur.

CXLVIII.

Mahometism.

Mahometismus.

Chapter 148

Mahomet, 1.
a warlike Man,
invented to himself
a new Religion,
mixed with Judaism,
Christianity and Gentilism,
by the advice of a Jew, 2.
and an Arian Monk, 3.
named Sergius; feigning,
whilst he had the Fit of
the Falling-sickness
,
that the Archangel Gabriel
and the Holy Ghost,
talked with him,
191 using a Pigeon, 4.
to fetch Meat
out of his Ear.
Mahomet, 1.
Homo bellator,
excogitabat sibi
novam Religionem,
mixtam ex Judaismo,
Christianismo & Gentilismo,
consilio Judæi, 2.
& Monachi Ariani, 3.
nomine Sergii; fingens,
dum laboraret Epilepsia,
 
Archangelum Gabrielem,
& Spiritum Sanctum,
secum colloqui,
adsuefaciens Columbam, 4.
petere Escam
ex Aure sua.
His Followers
refrain themselves
from Wine;
are circumcised,
have many Wives;
build Chapels, 5.
from the Steeples whereof,
they are called to Holy Service
not by Bells,
but by a Priest, 6.
they wash themselves often, 7.
they deny the Holy Trinity:
they honour Christ,
not as the Son of God,
but as a great Prophet,
yet less than Mahomet;
they call their Law,
the Alchoran.
Asseclæ ejus
abstinent se
à Vino;
circumciduntur,
sunt Polygami;
exstruunt Sacella, 5.
de quorum Turriculis,
convocantur ad sacra
non a Campanis,
sed a Sacerdote, 6.
sæpius se abluunt, 7.
negant SS. Trinitatem:
Christum honorant,
non ut Dei Filium,
sed ut magnum Prophetam,
minorem tamen Mahomete;
Legem suam vocant
Alcoran.

CXLIX.

Gods Providence.

Providentia Dei.

Chapter 149

Mens States
192 are not to be attributed
to Fortune or Chance,
or the Influence of the Stars,
(Comets, 1. indeed
are wont to portend no good)
but to the provident
Eye of God, 2.
and to his governing Hand, 3.
even our Sights,
or Oversights,
or even our Faults.
Humanæ Sortes
non tribuendæ sunt
Fortunæ aut Casui,
aut Influxui Siderum,
(Cometæ, 1. quidem
solent nihil boni portendere)
sed provido
Dei Oculo, 2.
& ejusdem Manui rectrici, 3.
etiam nostræ Prudentiæ,
vel Imprudentiæ,
vel etiam Noxæ.
God hath his Ministers
and Angels, 4.
who accompany a Man, 5.
from his birth,
as Guardians,
against wicked Spirits,
or the Devil, 6.
who every minute
layeth wait for him,
to tempt
and vex him.
Deus habet Ministros suos,
& Angelos, 4.
qui associant se Homini, 5.
à nativitate ejus,
ut Custodes,
contra malignos Spiritus,
seu Diabolum, 6.
qui minutatim
struit insidias ei,
ad tentandum
vel vexandum.
Wo to the mad
Wizzards and Witches
who give themselves
to the Devil,
(being inclosed in a Circle, 7.
calling upon him
with Charms)
they dally with him,
and fall from God!
for they shall receive
their reward with him.
Væ dementibus
Magis & Lamiis
qui Cacodæmoni
se dedunt
(inclusi Circulo, 7.
eum advocantes
Incantamentis)
cum eo colludunt
& à Deo deficiunt!
nam cum illo
mercedem accipient.

The Last Judgment.

Judicium extremum.

Chapter 150

For the last day
shall come
which shall raise up
the Dead, 2.
with the sound of a Trumpet, 1.
and summon the Quick
with them
to the Judgment-seat
of Christ Jesus, 3.
(appearing in the Clouds)
to give an Account
of all things done.
Nam dies novissima
veniet,
quæ resuscitabit
Mortuos, 2.
voce Tubæ, 1.
& citabit Vivos,
cum illis
ad Tribunal
Jesu Christi, 3.
(apparentis in Nubibus)
ad reddendam rationem
omnium actorum.
When the Godly & Elect, 4.
shall enter into life eternal
into the place of Bliss,
and the new Hierusalem, 5.
Ubi pii (justi) & Electi, 4.
introibunt in vitam æternam,
in locum Beatitudinis
& novum Hierosolymam, 5.
But the Wicked
and the damned, 6.
shall be thrust into Hell, 8.
with the Devils, 7.
to be there tormented for ever.
Impii vero,
& damnati, 6.
cum Cacodæmonibus, 7.
in Gehennum, 8. detrudentur,

The Close.

Clausula.

Chapter 151

Thus thou hast seen
in short, all things
that can be shewed,
and hast learned
the chief Words
of the English and Latin
Tongue
.
Ita vidisti
summatim res omnes
quæ poterunt ostendi,

Go on now and read
other good Books diligently,
and thou shalt become
learned, wise, and godly.
Perge nunc & lege
diligenter alias bonos Libros,
ut fias
doctus, sapiens, & pius.
Remember these things;
fear God, and call upon him,
that he may bestow
upon thee
the Spirit of Wisdom.
Memento horum;
Deum time, & invoca eum,
ut largiatur
tibi
Spiritum Sapientiæ.
Farewell. Vale.

Additional Notes

Editor’s Preface:

The text for the English translation is from the English edition of 1727, in which for the first time the English words were so arranged as to stand opposite their Latin equivalents.

The 1659 English translation has the same general layout, but word order within sentences is often different, as explained in the “Advertisement” to the 1727 edition.

Chapter Numbering

In the 1659 edition the Invitatio and Clausula (Close) are unnumbered, and in the 1727 edition there are two chapters CIV (104). In the 1727 Index, and in the numbers visible in the corner of some illustrations, chapter numbers 64 through 104 were off by one (printed as 63–103).

Transcriber’s Footnotes

Chapter XIX
“here the king’s Fisher
The printed text reads “Fisher ... here the king’s”. The 1659 edition may explain the error:

Chapter CX
“She proposeth ... End, to her Actions; Actionibus suis præfigit Scopum ...”
Text shown as printed. The first Latin line corresponds to the last English line.

Chapter CXII
Revellers ... babble; Heluones ... rixantur.”
The 1659 edition has “brabble”, meaning “quarrel” or “brawl”.
