1633. [Ib.] first platform: exemplari. Comp. Ess. xlix. p. 194: ‘So IT 
have made a platforme of a princely garden, partly by precept, partly by 
drawing, not a modell, but some generall lines of it.” [18] Comp. Prov.

P. 45. [4] Hooker, Eccl. Pol. i. 4. § 1, 2. [5] Dionysius, De Czelesti 
Hierarchia, 6, 7, 8,9. A work erroneously ascribed to Dionysius the 
Areopagite. The epithet ‘ supposed’ shows that Bacon believed it to be 
spurious. The Latin has merely gue Dionysii Areopagite nomine evul- 
gatur. Thomas Heywood, in his Hierarchie of the Blessed Angels 
(1635), divides them into Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominations, 
Vertues, Powers, and Principats. See also Milton, Par. Lost, v. 601, 
772, 840. [15] Gen. i. 3. [22] Gen. ii. 3. [32] Gen. il. 19. 
P. 46. [1] Comp. pp. 5,6. [7] In a note on the corresponding pas- 
sage of the De Augmentis Mr. Ellis quotes from S. Thomas Aquinas, 
Summ. Theol. Sec. Secund. q. 163. a. 2: Primus homo peccavit princip- 
aliter appetendo similitudinem Dei quantum ad scientiam boni et mali, sicut 
serpens ei suggessit, ut scilicet per virtutem proprie nature determinaret sibi 
quid esset bonum et quid malum ad agendum. [13] Gen. iv.2/ [23] Gen.

P. 47. [11] Lev. xiii. 12,13. [14-18] Among the Regales Aphorismi 
or maxims of King James I. edited by W. Stratton, 1650, is the follow- 
ing, evidently borrowed from this passage: ‘As it is a principle of nature, 
that putrifaction is more contagious before maturity than after; so it is 
a position of Moral Philosophie, that men abandoned to vice, do not so 
much corrupt manners, as those that are half good and half evill’ (p. 165). 
In De Augm. iii. 1,'Bacon gives as a rule in physics, Putredo serpens 
magis contagiosa est quam matura. [24] Job xxvi. 7. [28] Job xxvi. 13.

Spedding retains as another form of the word. It probably only repre- 
sents the current pronunciation. The corresponding passage of the 
treatise Of the Interpretation of Nature, p. 220, has ‘all that is green.’ 
[18] the moss upon the wall: The English version of 1 Kings iv. 33 
has Ayssop. Bacon followed the rendering of Junius and Tremellius.
