And 26 13| changed, and finally the mind aroused through the complexion should 27 10| ways, natural as well as artificial, colors of this kind are 28 13| philosophers, when Alexander asked of him concerning some tribes 29 7 | many of them, is able to assure himself and others, not 30 12| it is difficult to have astronomical implements sufficiently 31 2 | many have arguments toward attainable facts, but because they 32 6 | human voice or an ape that attempts to carry out the works of 33 11| heard from others that it attracts, seeks the reason before 34 6 | minds free from faults.

I have carefully proved this in the case 62 3 | to be believed as if they carried demonstration, as he says 63 6 | an ape that attempts to carry out the works of men, although 64 5 | which Ptolemy says in the Centilogium that there is a double way 65 4 | book of Meteorology, but he certainly did not say this, but says 66 2 | truth, unless it finds this certitude by way of experience.

This 108 12| as Aristotle and a vast crowd of the authors of predictions 109 4 | be because gems cannot be cut out save by the breaking 110 6 | further in knowledge than I dare to say, because they have 111 10| drops, then in some rather dark place the same colors appear, 112 4 | by which they have been deceived, that if both cold and hot 113 13| This science has found definitions and ways through which it 114 7 | The third degree of spiritual experience 115 6 | experience there are seven degrees, one through spiritual illumination 116 3 | receives that clearest of demonstrations concerning the equilateral 117 12| experience, which cannot be denied. This wisdom has been found 118 6 | soundness of their virtue, denying to one another that they 119 7 | Holy Spirit, which Isaiah describes.

This part 124 10| to be seen, if only the diligent investigator knows how to 125 6 | although I have searched diligently, and he has a mind so clear 126 8 | drawn from the principles discovered, if they care to have the 127 8 | the natural philosopher discusses these things, and in regard 128 6 | the logic that the mind is disturbed by faults, just as a rusty 129 | do 130 4 | secretions of the beaver that the doctors use are the testicles of 131 6 | correct teaching in religious doctrine, to which class the bearer 132 | done 133 5 | Centilogium that there is a double way of coming to the knowledge 134 | down 135 8 | purport and what is mere dream in chance, conjuration, 136 4 | blood it can be broken with ease. I have seen this with my 137 10| happens in the shade at the edges, and it also takes place 138 8 | characteristics are shown.

I find an example in the rainbow and in like 154 4 | this is that contrary is excited by the contrary, like enemies 155 7 | thoroughly practiced in these experiences or in many of them, is able 156 11| to believe those who have experimented or who have it from investigators, 157 11| seeks the reason before experimenting, he will never find it. 158 7 | experimental. I wish to explain this, not only as useful 159 5 | kinds. One is through the external senses: such are the experiments 160 9 | puts the stone up to his eye when it is almost closed, 161 4 | experiment, that are utterly false. It is commonly believed 162 8 | is in them; so that all falsity may be lifted and the truths 163 6 | permitted him to know how to fashion many high sounding words 164 6 | him any kind of a mortal fault, although I have searched 165 12| predictions from the stars, are favorable, as he himself says, and 166 4 | the male as well as the female produces a secretion of 167 | few 168 10| clinging to the grass in the field or plane, he sees the same 169 7 | enumerates in the Gospels. The fifth is the spiritual sensibility. 170 8 | universal experience about figures and numbers, which indeed 171 10| place through a glass vase filled with water, sitting in the 172 13| bodies could be changed, and finally the mind aroused through 173 2 | neither avoid a harmful nor follow a beneficial course. Even 174 7 | world: as in a former book I followed language and science to 175 6 | magpie it will repeat words foreign to it which it has learned 176 9 | things, he can find colors formed and arranged as given in 177 13| This part so-called has four principal laws as the secret 178 7 | which Isaiah describes. The fourth lies in the beatitudes which 179 8 | application of art, what through fraud, what is the purport and 180 6 | things unless they have minds free from faults. Augustine relates 181 4 | two vases, the hot will freeze quicker. It is necessary, 182 7 | sensibility. The sixth is in such fruits as the peace of God, which 183 5 | because it does not give full certainty as regards corporeal 184 10| while his eyes are not yet fully opened, if he suddenly looks 185 12| in the knowledge of future and present events, and 186 5 | patriarchs and prophets who first gave science to the world secured 187 4 | this must needs be because gems cannot be cut out save by 188 6 | since he neither has great genius or a wonderful memory, there 189 7 | spiritual experience is the gift of the Holy Spirit, which 190 10| also takes place through a glass vase filled with water, 191 4 | only with the blood of a goat, and philosophers and theologians 192 6 | their innocent minds, have gone further in knowledge than 193 7 | our Lord enumerates in the Gospels. The fifth is the spiritual 194 6 | scientific things. The second grade consists of virtue, for 195 6 | clearness of his mind, has granted to him these things which 196 10| drops of dew clinging to the grass in the field or plane, he 197 10| if through a lamp of oil hanging in the air the rays shine 198 10| his eyes, the same thing happens in the shade at the edges, 199 2 | them and neither avoid a harmful nor follow a beneficial 200 1 | Having laid down the main points 201 10| sunlight, if he holds his head covering beyond his eyes, 202 11| a magnet draws iron nor heard from others that it attracts, 203 2 | nevertheless the mind of one hearing his arguments would never 204 5 | experiments that are made upon the heaven through instruments in regard 205 | here 206 9 | Moreover, in stones not shaped hexagonally, provided the surfaces are 207 6 | know how to fashion many high sounding words and to write 208 5 | Pliny says in his Natural History. And this experience is 209 10| sunlight. Similarly, if any one holding water in his mouth suddenly 210 7 | experience is the gift of the Holy Spirit, which Isaiah describes. 211 4 | place and thus again it is a horrible lie that, since hunters 212 4 | horrible lie that, since hunters chase the beaver for this 213 4 | into a cold place as on ice, the cold freezes quicker ( 214 8 | to examine all the insane ideas of the magicians in order 215 11| it because he himself is ignorant of it and because he has 216 6 | against truth must necessarily ignore this, that it is permitted 217 6 | Socrates in Book VIII, chapter III, of the City of God: to 218 6 | degrees, one through spiritual illumination in regard to scientific 219 13| use of this science, which illustrates its nature, is in the change 220 6 | just as the brute that imitates the human voice or an ape 221 8 | conjuration, invocations, imprecations, magical sacrifices and 222 12| remedy for human ignorance or imprudence; for it is difficult to 223 4 | running together. They even impute this to Aristotle in the 224 6 | implements for the Church of God, inasmuch as they have with the Grace 225 9 | crystals from Ireland or India which are called rainbow-hued 226 11| is not necessary for the inexperienced to seek a reason in order 227 10| again appear. Thus, in an infinite number of ways, natural 228 13| virtues of the skies and the influence of the sky upon this earth, 229 6 | who, on account of their innocent minds, have gone further 230 8 | teaches us to examine all the insane ideas of the magicians in 231 6 | that he receives less from instruction than can be supposed. And 232 5 | not at all. Hence man's intellect must be aided in another 233 3 | experiment by means of the intersection of two circles from either 234 12| conclusions. For Ptolemy in the introduction of the Almagest, says that 235 2 | the mind rests calm in the intuition of truth, unless it finds 236 12| sciences, but by its own power investigates the secrets of nature, and 237 7 | with this which I am now investigating, there is a science that 238 11| experimented or who have it from investigators, nor ought he to doubt the 239 8 | in chance, conjuration, invocations, imprecations, magical sacrifices 240 12| motion of the planets is involved in them. The use of these 241 9 | hexagonal crystals from Ireland or India which are called 242 11| seen that a magnet draws iron nor heard from others that 243 7 | of the Holy Spirit, which Isaiah describes. The fourth lies 244 | itself 245 10| suddenly sprinkles the water in jets and stands at the side of 246 5 | Experience is of two kinds. One is through the external 247 1 | Having laid down the main points of 248 10| of them; or if through a lamp of oil hanging in the air 249 | latter 250 13| so-called has four principal laws as the secret of the science, 251 6 | of God examined the whole learning of the Latins. ~ 252 6 | supposed. And I have tried to lend my aid to the purpose that 253 6 | to have masters nor the length of any one year to learn 254 | less 255 13| absorb good customs from the liberty of their environment; this 256 8 | that all falsity may be lifted and the truths we alone 257 3 | drawn to the ends of a given line. Then one receives the conclusion 258 6 | which it has learned through long practice. And this is our 259 7 | the beatitudes which our Lord enumerates in the Gospels. 260 8 | invocations, imprecations, magical sacrifices and what there 261 8 | the insane ideas of the magicians in order not to confirm 262 11| who has never seen that a magnet draws iron nor heard from 263 11| speculative sciences, can discover magnificent truths in the fields of 264 6 | evil, but like a parrot or magpie it will repeat words foreign 265 1 | Having laid down the main points of the wisdom of 266 9 | And because many persons making use of these stones think 267 6 | besides, not able to have masters nor the length of any one 268 | me 269 3 | confirmed by experiment by means of the intersection of two 270 6 | great genius or a wonderful memory, there can be no other cause, 271 8 | the purport and what is mere dream in chance, conjuration, 272 3 | in the first book of the Metaphysics, that those knowing the 273 7 | states of rapture and in the methods of those also, various ones 274 11| that which alone, as the mistress of the speculative sciences, 275 10| investigator looks in a summer morning at the drops of dew clinging 276 6 | find in him any kind of a mortal fault, although I have searched 277 | most 278 12| verified, especially when the motion of the planets is involved 279 10| one holding water in his mouth suddenly sprinkles the water 280 | much 281 4 | theologians strengthen this myth. But it is not yet proved 282 6 | busy against truth must necessarily ignore this, that it is 283 4 | in the truths of things need only know how to neglect 284 4 | with my eyes; and this must needs be because gems cannot be 285 4 | things need only know how to neglect experience. This is evident 286 | nevertheless 287 | next 288 10| they can often be seen at night about a candle. In the summer 289 10| appear. Thus, in an infinite number of ways, natural as well 290 8 | experience about figures and numbers, which indeed apply to all 291 9 | falling from the raised oars he finds the same colors, 292 9 | so that the phenomenon occurs in smoky crystal and also 293 | often 294 6 | young (about twenty years old) and poor besides, not able 295 7 | methods of those also, various ones of whom receive it in various 296 10| his eyes are not yet fully opened, if he suddenly looks at 297 8 | which are concerned with the operation of seeing which is pertinent 298 1 | language, mathematics and optics, I wish now to review the 299 7 | by which all things are ordered. ~ 300 12| another and surer way than the ordinary astronomy; that is, the 301 | ourselves 302 13| through which it shows us the outlines of the virtues of the skies 303 2 | not experienced them, they overlook them and neither avoid a 304 10| with water falling from the paddles of a water-wheel. And when 305 6 | spotted with evil, but like a parrot or magpie it will repeat 306 5 | 000 men throughout various parts of the earth in order to 307 7 | the peace of God, which passes all understanding. The seventh 308 5 | another way, and thus the patriarchs and prophets who first gave 309 7 | is in such fruits as the peace of God, which passes all 310 9 | whenever the rays of the sun penetrate the drops. ~ 311 3 | experience. And such are perfect in their knowledge, as Aristotle 312 8 | book of the Meteorology a perpendicular, but by Seneca a halo, and 313 9 | the bow. And because many persons making use of these stones 314 8 | things, and in regard to perspective has many facts to add which 315 8 | operation of seeing which is pertinent in this place. But neither 316 8 | the rainbow and in like phenomena, of which nature are the 317 9 | also black, so that the phenomenon occurs in smoky crystal 318 8 | rainbow. Now the natural philosopher discusses these things, 319 5 | experience is human and philosophical just as far as a man is 320 7 | this, not only as useful to philosophy, but to the knowledge of 321 4 | is true), but if they are placed in two vases, the hot will 322 10| the grass in the field or plane, he sees the same colors. 323 12| especially when the motion of the planets is involved in them. The 324 5 | surface of the world, as Pliny says in his Natural History. 325 1 | principles of wisdom from the point of view of experimental 326 1 | Having laid down the main points of the wisdom of the Latins 327 6 | prepared by virtue like a well polished mirror in which the images 328 6 | about twenty years old) and poor besides, not able to have 329 4 | throws them away. Again it is popularly said that cold water in 330 4 | both cold and hot water are poured into a cold place as on 331 6 | has learned through long practice. And this is our experience, 332 7 | And whoever is thoroughly practiced in these experiences or 333 12| crowd of the authors of predictions from the stars, are favorable, 334 6 | clearly seen, but the mind is prepared by virtue like a well polished 335 12| it is on account of the prerogatives through which it looks, 336 12| knowledge of future and present events, and in those wonderful 337 13| part so-called has four principal laws as the secret of the 338 7 | through arguments which either proceed through a proposition by 339 4 | male as well as the female produces a secretion of this kind. 340 9 | finds this in a crystal, properly shaped, and in other transparent 341 9 | account of some special property of the stones and because 342 5 | thus the patriarchs and prophets who first gave science to 343 6 | accomplished more in ethics in proportion to the soundness of their 344 7 | either proceed through a proposition by authority or through 345 7 | authority or through other propositions of argument, in accordance 346 2 | that has never seen fire, proves by good reasoning that fire 347 9 | not shaped hexagonally, provided the surfaces are rough, 348 8 | through fraud, what is the purport and what is mere dream in 349 8 | science has three great purposes in regard to the other sciences: 350 9 | the surfaces have the same quality as nature has given the 351 13| to the answer of a whole question, as far as the nature of 352 9 | or India which are called rainbow-hued in Solinus Concerning the 353 10| And, likewise, when it rains, if he stands in a shady 354 9 | the drops falling from the raised oars he finds the same colors, 355 7 | seventh lies in states of rapture and in the methods of those 356 2 | seen fire, proves by good reasoning that fire burns, and devours 357 7 | also, various ones of whom receive it in various ways, that 358 6 | for a pure man, he has received pure things from me. Nor 359 6 | these things which it has refused to almost all students, 360 13| nature, is in the change of a region in order that the customs 361 6 | free from faults. Augustine relates this fact concerning Socrates 362 6 | had correct teaching in religious doctrine, to which class 363 12| been found as a natural remedy for human ignorance or imprudence; 364 6 | parrot or magpie it will repeat words foreign to it which 365 13| barbarity or let them live, responded in the Book of Secrets if 366 5 | inner light and did not rest entirely on the senses. 367 2 | annihilates doubt that the mind rests calm in the intuition of 368 8 | truths we alone of the art retained. This alone teaches us to 369 4 | wishes without proof to revel in the truths of things 370 1 | and optics, I wish now to review the principles of wisdom 371 6 | principles but few of the Latins rise. Since he is so young (about 372 10| summer time, as soon as he rises from sleep while his eyes 373 9 | provided the surfaces are rough, the same as those of the 374 9 | entirely smooth and yet not rougher than those --- the surfaces 375 9 | crystals, for the difference of roughness makes the difference of 376 9 | color. He watches, also, rowers and in the drops falling 377 4 | the contrary, like enemies running together. They even impute 378 6 | disturbed by faults, just as a rusty mirror in which the images 379 8 | invocations, imprecations, magical sacrifices and what there is in them; 380 4 | away. Again it is popularly said that cold water in a vase 381 2 | experienced, the mind is satisfied and lies calm in the certainty 382 6 | God: to the same purpose Scripture says, to an evil mind, etc., 383 6 | mortal fault, although I have searched diligently, and he has a 384 13| four principal laws as the secret of the science, and some 385 4 | commonly believed that the secretions of the beaver that the doctors 386 3 | two circles from either section of which two lines are drawn 387 5 | gave science to the world secured inner light and did not 388 11| for the inexperienced to seek a reason in order to understand 389 11| others that it attracts, seeks the reason before experimenting, 390 | seems 391 10| in the field or plane, he sees the same colors. And, likewise, 392 7 | The fifth is the spiritual sensibility. The sixth is in such fruits 393 5 | authority of Alexander, sent 2,000 men throughout various 394 6 | sounding words and to write sentences not his own, just as the 395 6 | inner experience there are seven degrees, one through spiritual 396 7 | passes all understanding. The seventh lies in states of rapture 397 10| same thing happens in the shade at the edges, and it also 398 9 | arranged as in it in the shaded part next the ray. Moreover, 399 9 | because of their hexagonal shape the investigator proceeds 400 10| proper way, or the light shines upon the surface of the 401 6 | which the images of things show clearly. On account of this, 402 8 | and characteristics are shown. This alone enables us to 403 13| so, and through which it shows us the outlines of the virtues 404 9 | and also in all stones of similar transparency. Moreover, 405 3 | book of the Ethics, whose simple statements are to be believed 406 13| as far as the nature of a single science can do so, and through 407 13| outlines of the virtues of the skies and the influence of the 408 13| and the influence of the sky upon this earth, without 409 10| as soon as he rises from sleep while his eyes are not yet 410 9 | the phenomenon occurs in smoky crystal and also in all 411 9 | Irish crystals, not entirely smooth and yet not rougher than 412 6 | relates this fact concerning Socrates in Book VIII, chapter III, 413 9 | are called rainbow-hued in Solinus Concerning the Wonders of 414 | something 415 9 | experimenter places himself in a somewhat shady place and puts the 416 10| In the summer time, as soon as he rises from sleep while 417 8 | logic criticizes the art of sophistry. This science has three 418 6 | how to fashion many high sounding words and to write sentences 419 6 | ethics in proportion to the soundness of their virtue, denying 420 3 | than the experienced, he speaks concerning the experienced 421 7 | is the gift of the Holy Spirit, which Isaiah describes. 422 6 | sunlight of truth while it is spotted with evil, but like a parrot 423 10| water in his mouth suddenly sprinkles the water in jets and stands 424 8 | side of the sun or of a star which seems to be visible 425 3 | the Ethics, whose simple statements are to be believed as if 426 7 | understanding.
