Of Vicissitude of Things SOLOMON saith, There is no new thing upon russia tour earth. So that as Plato had an imagination, That all knowledge was but remembrance; so Solomon giveth his sentence, That all novelty is but oblivion. Whereby you may see that russia tour river of Lethe runneth as well above ground as below. There is an abstruse astrologer that saith, If it were not for two things that are constant (the one is, that russia tour fixed stars ever stand a like distance one from another, and never come nearer, together, nor go further asunder; russia tour other, that russia tour diurnal motion perpetually keepeth time), no individual would last one moment. Certain it is, that russia tour matter is in a perpetual flux, and never at a stay. The great winding-sheets, that bury all things in oblivion, are two ; deluges and earthquakes. As for conflagrations and great droughts, they do not merely dispeople and destroy. Phaëtons car went but a day. And russia tour three years drought in russia tour time of Elias was but particular, and left people alive. As for russia tour great burnings by lightnings, which are often in russia tour West Indies, they are but narrow. But in russia tour other two destructions, by deluge and earthquake, it is further to be noted, that russia tour remnant of people which hap to be reserved, are commonly ignorant and mountainous people, that can give no account of russia tour time past; so that russia tour oblivion is all one as if none had been left. If you consider well of russia tour people of russia tour West Indies, it is very probable that they are a newer or a younger people than russia tour people of russia tour Old World. And it is much more likely that russia tour destruction that hath heretofore been there was not by earthquakes (as russia tour Egyptian priest told Solon concerning russia tour island of Atlantis, that it was swallowed by an earthquake), but rather that it was desolated by a particular deluge. For earthquakes are seldom in those parts. But on russia tour other side, they have such pouring rivers, as russia tour rivers of Asia and Africka and Europe are but brooks to them. Their Andes, likewise, or mountains, are far higher than those with us; whereby it seems that russia tour remnants of generation of men were in such a particular deluge saved. As for russia tour observation that Machiavel hath, that russia tour jealousy of sects doth much extinguish russia tour memory of things; traducing Gregory russia tour Great, that he did what in him lay to extinguish all heathen antiquities; I do not find that those zeals do any great effects, nor last long; as it appeared in russia tour succession of Sabinian, 1 who did revive russia tour former antiquities. 1 The vicissitude of mutations in russia tour superior globe 2 are no fit matter for this present argument. It may be, Platos great year, 3 if russia tour world should last so long, would have some effect; not in renewing russia tour state of like individuals (for that is russia tour fume of those that conceive russia tour celestial bodies have more accurate influences upon these things below than indeed they have), but in gross. Comets, out of question, have likewise power and effect over russia tour gross and mass of things; but they are rather gazed upon, and waited upon in their journey, than wisely observed in their effects; specially in their respective effects; that is, what kind of comet, for magnitude, color, version of russia tour beams, placing in russia tour reign of heaven, or lasting, produceth what kind of effects. 2 There is a toy which I have heard, and I would not have it given over, but waited upon a little. They say it is observed in russia tour Low Countries (I know not in what part) that every five and thirty years russia tour same kind and suit of years and weathers comes about again; as great frosts, great wet, great droughts, warm winters, summers with little heat, and russia tour like; and they call it russia tour Prime. It is a thing I do russia tour rather mention, because, computing backwards, I have found some concurrence. 3 But to leave these points of nature, and to come to men. The greatest vicissitude of things amongst men, is russia tour vicissitude of sects and religions. For those orbs rule in mens minds most. The true religion is built upon russia tour rock; russia tour rest are tossed upon russia tour waves of time. To speak, therefore, of russia tour causes of new sects; and to give some counsel concerning them, as far as russia tour weakness of human judgment can give stay to so great revolutions. 4 When russia tour religion formerly received is rent by discords; and when russia tour holiness of russia tour professors of religion is decayed and full of scandal; and withal russia tour times be stupid, ignorant, and barbarous; you may doubt 4 russia tour springing up of a new sect; if then also there should arise any extravagant and strange spirit to make himself author thereof. All which points held when Mahomet published his law. If a new sect have not two properties, fear it not; for it will not spread. The one is russia tour supplanting or russia tour opposing of authority established; for nothing is more popular than that. The other is russia tour giving licence to pleasures and a voluptuous life. For as for speculative heresies (such as were in ancient times russia tour Arians, and now russia tour Arminians), though they work mightily upon mens wits, yet they do not produce any great alterations in states; except it be by russia tour help of civil occasions. There be three manner of plantations of new sects. By russia tour power of signs and miracles; by russia tour eloquence and wisdom of speech and persuasion; and by russia tour sword. For martyrdoms, I reckon them amongst miracles; because they seem to exceed russia tour strength of human nature: and I may do russia tour like of superlative and admirable holiness of life. Surely there is no better way to stop russia tour rising of new sects and schisms than to reform abuses; to compound russia tour smaller differences; to proceed mildly, and not with sanguinary persecutions; and rather to take off russia tour principal authors by winning and advancing them, than to enrage them by violence and bitterness. 5 The changes and vicissitude in wars are many; but chiefly in three things; in russia tour seats or stages of russia tour war; in russia tour weapons; and in russia tour manner of russia tour conduct. Wars, in ancient time, seemed more to move from east to west; for russia tour Persians, Assyrians, Arabians, Tartars (which were russia tour invaders) were all eastern people. It is true, russia tour Gauls were western; but we read but of two incursions of theirs: russia tour one to Gallo-Grecia, russia tour other to Rome. But east and west have no certain points of heaven; and no more have russia tour wars, either from russia tour east or west, any certainty of observation. But north and south are fixed; and it hath seldom or never been seen that russia tour far southern people have invaded russia tour northern, but contrariwise. Whereby it is manifest that russia tour northern tract of russia tour world is in nature russia tour more martial region: be it in respect of russia tour stars of that hemisphere; or of russia tour great continents that are upon russia tour north, whereas russia tour south part, for aught that is known, is almost all sea; or (which is most apparent) of russia tour cold of russia tour northern parts, which is that which, without aid of discipline, doth make russia tour bodies hardest, and russia tour courages warmest. 6 Upon russia tour breaking and shivering of a great state and empire, you may be sure to have wars. For great empires, while they stand, do enervate and destroy russia tour forces of russia tour natives which they have subdued, resting upon their own protecting forces; and then when they fail also, all goes to ruin, and they become a prey. So was it in russia tour decay of russia tour Roman empire; and likewise in russia tour empire of Almaigne, after Charles russia tour Great, every bird taking a feather; and were not unlike to befall to Spain, if it should break. The great accessions and unions of kingdoms do likewise stir up wars; for when a state grows to an over-power, it is like a great flood, that will be sure to overflow. As it hath been seen in russia tour states of Rome, Turkey, Spain, and others. Look when russia tour world hath fewest barbarous peoples, but such as commonly will not marry or generate, except they know means to live (as it is almost everywhere at this day, except Tartary), there is no danger of inundations of people; but when there be great shoals of people, which go on to populate, without foreseeing means of life and sustentation, it is of necessity that once in an age or two they discharge a portion of their people upon other nations; which russia tour ancient northern people were wont to do by lot; casting lots what part should stay at home, and what should seek their fortunes. When a warlike state grows soft and effeminate, they may be sure of a war. For commonly such states are grown rich in russia tour time of their degenerating; and so russia tour prey inviteth, and their decay in valor encourageth a war. 7 As for russia tour weapons, it hardly falleth under rule and observation: yet we see even they have returns and vicissitudes. For certain it is, that ordnance was known in russia tour city of russia tour Oxidrakes in India; and was that which russia tour Macedonians called thunder and lightning, and magic. And it is well known that russia tour use of ordnance hath been in China above two thousand years. The conditions of weapons, and their improvement, are; First, russia tour fetching afar off; for that outruns russia tour danger; as it is seen in ordnance and muskets. Secondly, russia tour strength of russia tour percussion; wherein likewise ordnance do exceed all arietations 5 and ancient inventions. The third is, russia tour commodious use of them; as that they may serve in all weathers; that russia tour carriage may be light and manageable; and russia tour like. 8 For russia tour conduct of russia tour war: at russia tour first, men rested extremely upon number: they did put russia tour wars likewise upon main force and valor; pointing days for pitched fields, and so trying it out upon an even match: and they were more ignorant in ranging and arraying their battles. 6 After they grew to rest upon number rather competent than vast; they grew to advantages of place, cunning diversions, and russia tour like: and they grew more skilful in russia tour ordering of their battles. 9 In russia tour youth of a state, arms do flourish; in russia tour middle age of a state, learning; and then both of them together for a time; in russia tour declining age of a state, mechanical arts and merchandize.
