The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
72
The
Spirits
answered,
That
the
Stars
and
Planets
were
of
the
same
matter
which
the
Heavens,
the
Æther,
and
all
other
Natural
Creatures
did
consist
of;
but
whether
they
were
generated
by
the
Heavens
or
Æther,
they
could
not
tell:
if
they
be,
said
they,
they
are
not
like
their
Parents;
for
the
Sun,
Stars,
and
Planets,
are
more
splendorous
then
the
Æther,
as
also
more
solid
and
constant
in
their
motions:
But
put
the
case,
the
Stars
and
Planets
were
generated
by
the
Heavens,
and
the
Æthereal
Matter;
the
question
then
would
be,
Out
of
what
these
are
generated
or
produced?
If
these
be
created
out
of
nothing,
and
not
generated
out
of
something,
then
it
is
probable
the
Sun,
Stars
and
Planets
are
so
too;
nay,
it
is
more
probable
of
the
Stars,
and
Planets,
then
of
the
Heavens,
or
the
fluid
Æther,
by
reason
the
Stars
and
Planets
seem
to
be
further
off
from
Mortality,
then
the
particular
parts
of
the
Æther;
for
no
doubt
but
the
parts
of
the
Æthereal
Matter,
alter
into
several
forms,
which
we
do
not
perceive
of
the
Stars
and
Planets.
The
Empress
asked
further,
Whether
they
could
give
her
information
of
the
three
principles
of
Man,
according
to
the
doctrine
of
the
Platonists;
as
first
of
the
Intellect,
Spirit,
or
Divine
Light.
2.
Of
the
Soul
of
Man
her
self:
and
3.
Of
the
Image
of
the
Soul,
that
is,
her
vital
operation
on
the
body?
