YEs (a) were it] If the following opinion of Plato concerning them were true. (b) This dif∣ference] Plato saith that some creatures follow God well, are like him, and are reuolued with the sphere of heauen vntill they come belowe and then they fall: Some get vp againe: some are ouer-whelmed: these are the foolish, and those the wise: the meane, haue a middle place. So the wise soule is eleuated to heauen, and sits there, vntill the reuolution bring it downe againe, from seeing of truth, others voluntarily breake their wings and fall ere the time bee expired. The Philosophers soules at the end of 3000. yeares, returne to the starre whence they came: the rest must stay 10000. yeares ere they ascend.
