 4      1, IV   |            derogation of the credit of natural philosophy with the grave
 5      1, IV   |            three in number: astrology, natural magic, and alchemy; of which

 7      1, IV   |          pretendeth to call and reduce natural philosophy from variety

10      1, VI   |                touched before, not the natural knowledge of creatures,
11      1, VI   |                observe, some of them a natural, some of them a moral sense,
12      1, VI   |             pregnant and swelling with natural philosophy; as for example,
13      1, VI   |      philosophy, but also to compile a natural history of all verdure,
14      1, VII  |          extracted out of the depth of natural philosophy, and liker to
15      1, VII  |                was not the effect of a natural gift, but of learning and
16      2, Int  |               many sciences, specialty natural philosophy and physic, books
17      2, I    |               as after.~(2) History is natural, civil, ecclesiastical,
18      2, I    |         superstition do participate of natural causes; and, therefore,
19      2, I    |             clear eyes of religion and natural philosophy, have looked
20      2, I    |               are merely and sincerely natural. But as for the narrations
21      2, I    |             are either not true or not natural; and, therefore, impertinent
22      2, I    |                and fundamental towards natural philosophy; such natural
23      2, I    |               natural philosophy; such natural philosophy as shall not

26      2, III  |                best; for they are more natural than orations and public
27      2, V    |          knowledges—divine philosophy, natural philosophy, and human philosophy
28      2, V    |             find a certain rhapsody of natural theology, and of divers
29      2, V    |             logic; and of that part of natural philosophy which concerneth
30      2, V    |              and of that other part of natural philosophy which concerneth
31      2, V    |               of nature is eternal? in natural theology thus, that it requireth
32      2, VI   |             three philosophies—divine, natural, and human. And as concerning
33      2, VI   |        concerning divine philosophy or natural theology, it is that knowledge
34      2, VI   |             respect of the object, and natural in respect of the light.
35      2, VI   |              theology, both divine and natural, and is neither inscrutable
36      2, VII  |         therefore divine philosophy or natural theology (not divinity or

38      2, VII  |                 it were good to divide natural philosophy into the mine
39      2, VII  |          professions or occupations of natural philosophers—some to be
40      2, VII  |              these be the two parts of natural philosophy— the inquisition
41      2, VII  |             speculative and operative; natural science, and natural prudence.
42      2, VII  |        operative; natural science, and natural prudence. For as in civil
43      2, VII  |              of direction; so is it in natural. And here I will make a
44      2, VII  |          misapplied and abused name of natural magic, which in the true
45      2, VII  |               in the true sense is but natural wisdom, or natural prudence;
46      2, VII  |              is but natural wisdom, or natural prudence; taken according
47      2, VII  |          because all true and fruitful natural philosophy hath a double
48      2, VII  |            considered and handled.~(2) Natural science or theory is divided
49      2, VII  |                branch or descendant of natural science. It appeareth likewise
50      2, VII  |                appeareth likewise that natural theology, which heretofore
51      2, VII  |            sensible. For as we divided natural philosophy in general into
52      2, VII  |               term or distance between natural history and metaphysic.
53      2, VII  |            history and metaphysic. For natural history describeth the variety
54      2, VII  |             attendeth upon the text of natural history. Of these three
55      2, VII  |            theology, wherewith all his natural philosophy is infected.
56      2, VII  |            history is the basis. So of natural philosophy, the basis is
57      2, VII  |               philosophy, the basis is natural history; the stage next
58      2, VII  |           silence. And, therefore, the natural philosophy of Democritus
59      2, VIII |          remaineth yet another part of natural philosophy, which is commonly
60      2, VIII |             severed from any axioms of natural philosophy; and these are
61      2, VIII |                some axioms or parts of natural philosophy, and considereth
62      2, VIII |                disclosed. Thus much of natural science, or the part of
63      2, VIII |            Nature speculative.~(3) For natural prudence, or the part operative
64      2, VIII |               or the part operative of natural philosophy, we will divide
65      2, VIII |               three parts speculative, natural history, physic, and metaphysic.
66      2, VIII |          follow that we do the like of natural magic, which hath relation
67      2, VIII |              thereunto. For as for the natural magic whereof now there
68      2, VIII |             belief, as this degenerate natural magic, alchemy, astrology,
69      2, VIII |          conclude, therefore, the true natural magic, which is that great
70      2, VIII |             Thus have I passed through natural philosophy and the deficiences
71      2, VIII |                remaineth a division of natural philosophy according to
72      2, VIII |              errors: I mean chiefly in natural history, such as pass in

75      2, IX   |              any of the phenomena, yet natural philosophy may correct.
76      2, IX   |             destituted and forsaken by natural philosophy, it is not much

79      2, XI   |            divided into artificial and natural: whereof artificial is,
80      2, XI   |      concluding upon signs and tokens; natural is, when the mind hath a
81      2, XI   |             the disciples of pretended natural magic, have been so intemperate,
82      2, XIII |       contriving it out of particulars natural and artificial, as the flowers
83      2, XIII |              form may have use; and in natural philosophy likewise, by
84      2, XIV  |             mensura, have brought into natural philosophy; not much better
85      2, XV   |           burdensome, nor dangerous to natural memory, as is imagined,
