Allegory 7.

MAN is like the Globe of the World, and his Head as the highest Region, wherein Knowledge, as the Sun, runs in the Ecliptick Line of Reason, and gives light of Understanding to all the rest of the Thoughts, as the Planets which move by degrees in their several Orbes, some slower and some faster. Ig∣norance is the total Eclips; and violent Passions, as dark Clouds, that Viel the face thereof, which is only seen by the shadowes, but not in its full Glory.
