Thoughts, proverbs and Sayings from the 16th Century

Extracts from a French to English dictionary by, R Cotgrave. Published 1611.

'Mathematiques'
The Mathematics, {to comprehend 4 of the liberal sciences, being principally, arithmetic, geometry, music and Astronomy, known uniformly as Astrology, {as anatomy is to biology. As body is to mind. Neither one, without the other can exist in this world. [further, music as a science is not the study or ability to play music as we now think of it, but of harmony the music and flow of the spheres, understanding that which makes the sciences tick and work together; while arithmetic is of numbers-thus physics, and thus measure and time; geometry, - chemistry and what comes form it, is that which forms from them all, as mass, and physical existence.
Astrology-astronomy, contained all sciences, nothing was excluded].

'Encycopedie'
f. the perfection of all knowledge, and liberal sciences; an art that comprehends all others; or, learning that comprehends all arts. (yet it may be said, a whole dictionary will not illuminate the darkness of an evil or base mind; as the brightest light will not spark a fire in the mind of a fool.)

'Les chansons procedent de la mesine cornemuse'
All these matters have but one head,
all theses businesses but one origin.
That is why the word,

'Clergie
f. signified, learning, skill, science,
clerkship. Thus,

'Il a des miuds de clergie en la teste'
(so were, they wont, in old times to say,
of a great and learned man;)
he has a bushel of learning in his head.
Thus,

'Muid de clergie'
A store of clerkship,
a bushel of cunning,
abundance of learning.
( 'muid,
-a great amount,
or measure of,)

[Astrology and Astronomy until very recent times were but one discipline, only in the last 500 years have they started drifting further and further apart.

Only a fool would pretend that Astrology and Astronomy were always separate arts, they were the same and included the knowledge of all known sciences. L of M.]

A lot, portion, part, share, today we think of Lot, in terms of chance, a lottery. John the Baptists father, was apparently chosen by lot to serve in the temple for a certain month. That does not imply, that for example, there were several priests, of which or from whom, by straws or some other foolish manner, one or more were picked out to serve in the temple that month. But, that, his already allotted, given time, the month in which he was trained to perform the required duties within the temple, were due and preset by the stars.

a shroud, or den underground,
Also, the point in heaven when the Sun
Or any planet is furthermost from the
Center of the Earth.

'Fiens de chien, & marc d'argent seront tout vn au iour iugement'
All, will be one at the end of days.
After us the deluge.

'La fin fait tout'
The End proves all, or
Is all in all.
