## §. I.

Universa Natura occultis potentiis plena est. Conscendit quidem Philosophia Naturalis supremum quali nostris temporibus perfectionis gradum, at femper tamen & quotidie aliquid novi apportat, quod eruditissimas Philosophorum subvertit hypotheses. Illi, qui totam Naturam mechanice tantum operari contendunt, omnes ejusmodi occultas Naturæ vires, &, ut vulgo audiunt, qualitates, tanquam aniles explodunt ineptias, in Scholis Peripateticorum genitas. Verum cum Naturanı non aliter quam a posteriori intueantur, & omnia ad experimenta restringant, extremis suis, ut dicitur, digitis istas ne quidem attingunt, quia fuper omnes possibilitates leges ipsis pofitæ videntur. Et sane phænomena illa, quæ nostra ætate in regno Naturæ experta accepimus, ita comparata sunt, ut non mirum videatur, si omnia & quidem optima Philosophorum oracula propterea obmutescant.

### Prelim Translation:

All of nature is full of hidden powers. Although the nature doctrine has almost reached the highest level of perfection in our day, something is still happening every day that can reverse the most learned opinions of their ways of the world. Those who pretend that it does not inspire all of nature unlike mechanics, they reject all such hidden powers of nature, or so-called occult qualities, as women Moravia, in which the schools of which Aristotelianism originated. Alone since they do not look at nature in any other way than from behind and let everything arrive on clear experiments, so to speak, they do not reach it with their outermost fingers, because they seem to them to be beyond all limits of possibility. And certainly! The signs (phenomena) that were expressed in our time in the realm of nature are such that you should not be surprised if almost all and even the best philosophical oracles fall silent about it.

## §. II.

Antur nonnulli ex Philosophorum cohorte, qni omnia ejusmodi Naturæ mirabilia vel Deo vel Diabolo adscribere volunt. Verum quis non talem philosophandi modum in superstitiosis numeret hariolationum ? Satis aperte cnim tales ignorantiam suam in cognitione potentiarum Naturæ produnt. Nulli quidem neganus influxum spirituum in corpora. Nos ambabus potius largimur manibus, non Deum modo in Natura per singularem suam providentiam miracula adhuc patrare, fed quoque Diabolum pro sua virium naturalium cognitione insigni mirabilia committere posse. Verum omnia qui propterea spiritibus eorumque inmediato influxui assignaret, nimis jejune philosopharetur. Exerunt enim sese quam plurimum in phænomenis rarioribus tales circumstantiae, quæ palam testantur, eadein nec a Deo neca Diabolo immediate ortum habere. Ambo secundum fines suos tantummodo agunt. Hinc semper in ejusmodi prodigiis vel bonitas divina vel malitia diabolica manifesta redditur.

### Prelim Translation:

There are some of those wise men who attribute all such natural wonders to either God or the devil. Alone who does not hold such a way of philosophizing before a superstitious chatter? There are people of this kind openly recognizing that they have great ignorance in the knowledge of their powers of nature. We do not deny the spirits in the bodies, but rather admit with both hands that not only does GOD still do miracles every day in nature according to his special providence, but also that the devil, according to his great knowledge, which he of those Nature has the power to do miraculous things. But to attribute everything to them to their spirits and their immediate wonders seems too immature to be philosophized. For there are circumstances in the rarest signs of nature that clearly testify that they can neither come directly from GOD nor from the devil. Both act according to their intentions. Therefore, in such miraculous things either a divine kindness or a devilish wickedness must always be revealed.

## §. III.

Ante tres vel quatuor circiter annos orbi crudito tale de entusiasmo  poetico innotuit exemplum, quale vix unquam per hominum memoriam extitisse credimus. Circumstantias ejusdem qui ex Actis Erudit. german. p. LXXIX. pg. 514. sqy. Secum animo volutaverit, profunditatem quidem naturalium virium mirabitur, fed nec Divinæ nec Diabolicae alicui operationi aliquid hic temere adscribet. Si Deus enim miraculum super omnem naturae ordinem & potentiam in tali casu excitaverit, finis aliquis divinus nobis innotesceret, qui vel fit gloria Dei, vel salus hominuin, quod utrumque tamen hic cessat. Cæterum nec Diabolo quoque prodigium hoc Naturæ attribuendum putamus, quia subjectum perforia est, de cujus vitae integritate nemo dubitat : alias ut jam taceamus circumstantias.

### Prelim Translation:

About three or four years ago, the learned world was made aware of such a strange example of a poetic delight (Enthusiasmo poëtico) that no one had ever heard of such memoirs. Whoever draws the circumstances of it from the German having learned into precise exaltation will admire the concealment of their natural powers, but also here cannot attribute anything to God or to the devil's direct virtue. For if God in this case had done a miracle work over all the running and power of nature, then we should be aware of a divine end purpose of it, which either concerns the glory of God or the salvation of men, neither of which takes place here. It is not feasible, however, to attribute it to the devil, because it affects a person whose ineffectiveness of life has no one in doubt: to remain silent about other circumstances.

## §. IV.

Multas itaque in Natura adhuc latere potentias, certum est. De earum effectibus nos non alia de causa subit admiratio, quam quia nobis non datum eft istas cognoscere. Quis tamen propterea earum existentiam neget? Homo simplex, qui propter levem rationis suæ culturam, rerum causas scrutari nequit, multa diabolicis operationibus tribuenda haberet, fi ab ignoratione rei ad rei negationem valeret consequentia. Certum enim eft, Naturam manere imperscrutabilem. Quo simpliciores vero Naturæ vires evadunt, eo propius accedunt primis principiis & eo magis in prodigium trahuntur.

### Prelim Translation:

It is certain, therefore, that there are many powers hidden in nature, of which we are not astonished by their waking for any other reason than because we are unable to recognize them. But who wanted to deny their existence because of this? A simple-minded person who, due to the poor culture of the mind, is unable to investigate the causes of the things that would have happened, would have much to ascribe to the devil if it were allowed to conclude from the ignorance of the thing to the matter of negation. Because it is certain that nature remains unsearchable. However, the simpler the powers of nature become, the closer they come to the first reasons, and the more they are made into miracles.

## §. V.

Ut vero existentiain occultarum potentiarum Naturæ eo manifestiorem faciamus, detendimus mutuum aliquem omnium spirituum & corporum inter se influxum. Operantur enim spiritus in spiritus, operantur spiritus in corpora & operantur denique corpora in corpora. Quartum vero, quod corpora etiam operentur in spiritus, vix dari credimus. Inter has operationes occultas facile primum merentur locum, operationes corporum in corpora, quia earum effectus maxime in cernendi sensum cadunt. Tanta iste autem veritate fundatæ sunt, ut ad eas evertendas vix unquam extiterit bonus Philosophus. ενσυναίσθηση και θλίψη nomine vulgo insigniuntur, de quibus magna passim prostant literarum monumena, inter quæ ATHANASII KIRCHERI Magnetismus Nature facile primam cæteris præripit palmam.

### Prelim Translation:

However, in order that we may recognize the existence of its hidden powers of nature all the more clearly, we claim that all spirits and bodies work in alternation with one another. Because ghosts in ghosts, ghosts in body, finally bodies in body. The fourth thing, however, that the bodies should also dice in spirits is hard to believe. Among these hidden vintages, the vivifications of the bodies in bodies deserve first place, because the effects of them primarily fall into the senses. But in truth they are so firmly founded that no true philosopher has yet been found who was prepared to reject them. They are generally understood under the name of sympathy and antipathy, of which very large works are occasionally negotiated, which deal with what Athanasii Kircheri magnetism Nature may deserve.

## §. VI.

Existentiam Sympathiae & Antipathiæ in Natura nemo negabit, qui magnetis virtutem attractivam unquam expertus est. Canes intra & extra domos ululatu suo insolito inconditoque instantem aegrorum mortem non raro Præscriptionum, & quod libet animal cibum suum ex solo odoratu sentire, quotidie cernimus. Quem quæso latet, qualem non harmonia musica in hominum animis excitet Sympathiae speciem? Quid non morbis hæreditariis & imaginariis in hac re tribuendum venit? Quanta non lunatici & quibus non est ferre certa animalia e.g. feles &c. Sympathiæ & Antipathiæ præbent exempla? Et quis plura enarrare valeat, quæ ad demonstrandam operationum corporum in corpora existentiam faciunt, & cuivis in communi vita fatis obvia funt.

### Prelim Translation:

The existence of sympathy and antipathy will easily put anyone in doubt who has some knowledge of the attraction of the magnet. The dogs, with their unusual and clumsy howl, which they hear from them in and around the houses, have often announced the impending death of their cranes, and that another animal can tell from the smell what is good for it to eat , we see every day. Who is not aware of what kind of sympathy arouses musical harmony in people's minds? In this case, what are the inheritance and educational problems? (imaginary hereditary diseases) What do not the murder addicts give? certain animals, e.g. the cats, who can not stand, from strange examples of sympathy and antipathy? And who wants to be able to tell everything that serves to prove the existence of the body's spices in body and that is well known to everyone in common life.

## §. VII.

Hisce omnino quoque annumerari debent multa alia ejusmodi Naturæ phænoniena, quæ majoris quidem momenti funt, sed neutiquam tamen ex mera Magia Diabolica fluunt. Pertinent huc cruentations corporum interfectorum, virgula divinatrix, fascinationes per imaginationein magicam, divinationes animalium, incantamenta, insomnia divinatoria, Tarantismus, influxus aftrorum, arınarium unguentuin &multa alia, qnoruin causas haud ininori cum probabilitate occultis Natura potentiis adfcribere possumus, quain forfitan transplantationes arborum & morborum, rabiem caniuam, inoculationem variolorun), pulverein fynpathericum & id genus alia, de quibus tamen nulla Magiæ Diabolicæ exfat suspicio. Nos non omnem quidein spirituum in. flaxum in cjusinodi occultis Naturæ operationibus ne. gareaudemus. Probe enim nobis cognitum atque perspectum est, quanta cum calliditate & fraudulentia Diabolus saepe homines per artes magicas decipere soleat ad ampliandum suum diabolicum regnum. Verum cum hujusmodi operationes ut plurimum per sagas, quibus varia ratione occultiores Naturæ vires manifestato Diabolus, exerceat, concludimus inde, fieri hæc omnia etiam posse secundum merum Naturæ ordinem absque spirituum concursu.

### Prelim Translation:

However, many other nature signs can also be expected here, which, although they are of more importance, do not come from a devilish wizardry. This includes the bleeding of the bodies killed, the dowsing rut, the enchantment through a magical imagination, the penalties of the animals, the shouting, the memorable dreams, the tarantula bite, the influence of the stars, and many other things whose causes are known no less likely to attribute those hidden powers of nature than the grafting in of the trees, the frenzy of dogs, the inoculation of their goats, the sympathetic powder and the like, all of which you have no suspicion of devilish magic. We do not subordinate ourselves to denying all influence of the spirits in such hidden exposures of nature, because we are more than too familiar with what the devil treats of deceit and deceit with which the devil tends to defraud by magic arts, thereby his devilish empire to multiply. Alone since he mostly does his work by so-called witches, whom the devil in some ways makes known the hidden powers of nature, we conclude that all of this can also be done without the help of Satan, according to the mere running of nature.

## §. VIII.

Quum exinde igitur fatis pateat, varias dari operationum corporum in corpora species, constituemus etiam aliquam, quam vocabimus Masicationem mortuorum in tumulis. Dudum multa jam de ejusmodi mortuis in tumulis voracibus nobis narravere patres matresque, sed dedecori nobis effe credidimus, hisce fabellis & Æsopeis lepidus, quarum auditione folum aniculæ dicuntur, fidem habere. Causæ in promptu sunt. Nos ejusmodi voraces mortuos non propriis oculis vidimus. Ipium phænomenon nostris ratiociniis non licuit comprehendere, & præter hæc superstitionis accusationem cane pejus & angue fugere. Quid igitur mirum, si on nia, quæ in historiarum monimentis paffim occurrunt, exempla in dubium vocare? Datur quidem hominum genus a Natura ita instructum, ut ex superstitiosis hariolationes nescio quam amoenitas captet. His credita facillimum est, quicquid audiunt. Quod vero rationis suae lumine collustrare nequeunt, id spiritibus ex orco vocatis & Magiæ Diabolicæ adscribere non dubitant.

### Prelim Translation:

Since it is now fully evident from this that there are many types of which the body is expressed in body, we also want to set a certain type that we Masticationem mortuorum in tumulis, or chewing and the like. Call the smacking of the dead in graves. Our pre-parents have long told us a lot about these deaths that eat in graves, but we have kept it from being disgraceful to these Moravia and Aesopian fables, that only the old women dare to believe. The causes are easy to see: we have not seen such eating dead ourselves. We cannot understand such a sign of nature with our reasoned conclusions, and we flee the accusation of superstition just as much as the violation of honest acceptance. So why wonder if we have all the same examples that occur in the historical writings now and then drawn into doubts? Although there are some kind of people who are naturally inclined, out of neither superstitious conjecture, I do not know what to take pleasure in. It is easy for them to believe everything they hear. But what they cannot understand with their minds, they ascribe without hesitation to the hellish spirits and the devilish magic art.

## §. IX.

Præter hos novimus etiam quosdam, quibus fola orthodoxia Evangelicæ Religionis impedimento est, quo minus iis assentire queant, quibus alias assensum præbere nulli dubitarent. Haereses enim criminationem tanto cum horrore reformidant, ut quasi Andabatarum more in ecclesiae doctorum verba jurare haud eru bescant. Sed plerumque non habent, quod timent. Veritas Scripturæ Sacræ interdum ex meris præconceptis opinionibus violata habetur. Compertum inter alia hoc habemus in doctrina de Magia Naturali. Cum enim antiquiores ecclesiæ Doctores ex occultarum potentiarum Naturæ ignoratione omnia mirabilia Magia Diabolicae adscrībō, subiit pectora nostra opinio, quafi omnis de Magia Naturali doctrina ad destruenda Dei miracula faciat. Sed falsum hoc est. Miracula divina tanta cum præeminentia ab aliis Naturæ prodigiis distinguuntur, ut miremur, quomodo inter fe confundi possint. Divisiones aquarum in mari rubro & Jordano factæ, resuscitationes mortuorum & multa alia, quæ Christus, Prophetæ & Apostoli per digitum Dei in V.&N.T. effecerunt; funt & manent Naturæ mysteria, ad quæ enucleanda & imitanda ne totus quidem diabolorum exercitus ex orco vocatus cum omnibus Nigromanticis sufficeret, etsi conjunctis viribus operari contenderent.

### Prelim Translation:

    In addition to these, there are also those who are only hindered by the orthodoxy of the Evangelical religion, that they cannot give them a coincidence, which is otherwise not difficult to believe. Before the accusation of a heresy they are so horrified that they would rather blindly harp on the words of their teachers than be persecuted because of some counter-opinion. However, they may not have anything to fear. The truth of salvation. At times, writings are only considered offended for prejudice. We recognize this among other things from the teaching of natural magic art or Magia Naturali. Because, since ignorance of the hidden powers of nature, the old gods of scholars ascribed all miracle things to nature and the devil and his magic, we got the prejudice in Kopff as if all the Magia Naturali teachings aimed at the destruction of the divine miracles. But this is wrong. The divine miracles can be distinguished in such a wonderful way from the miraculous things of nature that one must wonder how they can be confused with one another. The healing of the waters in the red sea and Jordan, the resurrection of the dead and many other wonderful deeds that Christ, the prophets and apostles performed through God's fingers in the Old and New Testaments are and remain such secrets to nature that they can be explained and explained Imitate that the whole army of hell is inadequate with all Schwartz artists if they start to work on it with all their forces.

## §. X.

Verum quis omnes propterea corporum in corpora operationes; qua secundum Naturæ ordinem paulo infelix fiunt, negaret? Nil enim hic veritati divinæ derogatur. E re potius Evangelicæ Fidei effe putamus, si ostendi poteft, in quantum Deus immediato suo īnfluō in Naturæ, prodigiis concurrat, inter omnes enim constat, Romanam Ecclesiam de fide miraculosa adhuc multum gloriari. Si itaque nos qui de altera eaque puriori Parte fumus, omnia Natura Mirabilia, statim pro miraculis vel saltem pro effectibus Magiae Diabolicae venditemus, nonne facillime, ab adversariis nostris dolis ludi & circumduci possimus? Masticationes mortuorum in tumulis fine dubio quoque seu miraculum aliquod divinum venerabitur Pontificiorum fides, & nescimus quam? fortasse doctrinam iisdem corroborare studebunt. Quis igitur nobis vitio vertet, si hasce masticationes naturali cui dam corporum influxui assignare tentemus? Modus quidem nos semper latebit, sufficit tamen rem existenti aliter demonstrandam fore.

### Prelim Translation:

Yet no one surely by everyone; for the bodies of the activities of bodies in; where the nature of the little unhappy, are not hers? This is not a derogation of truthfulness. Effects, rather, we think that the interest of evangelical preaching of the Faith, could be shown can serve, in so far as the immediate, the God of their flows into nature and prodigies and meets it, and above all other, it is agreed, as a surprise to still have a lot to boast about the faith of the Roman Church. If, then, we who are born of another and purer times of the part of the smoke, all the wonders of nature, or at least as soon as miracles, as it down as effects of more hellish to sell myself, is it not very easily so, we may be able to be led round by those who oppose our & tricks of the game? Mastication of the dead rest in the grave at the end of a doubt, the divine worship of the Papists, too, that is, the miracle of the faith of some, and we do not know how? Perhaps doctrines support programs. Who, then, us at fault, He shall turn, this flow of bodies, if a certain natural good to which to assign these Mastication let us make trial? The manner of so much in us will always be hidden from us, it is enough to demonstrate in a different way, however, would be a thing that lives.
