THE number ten is called every number, or an universal number, compleat, signifying the full course of life: for beyond that we cannot number, but by replication; and •• either implies all numbers within it self, or explains them b• it self, and its own, by multiplying them: wherefore it is accounted to be of a manifold Religion, and power, and •• applyed to the purging of souls. Hence the Ancients called Ceremonies Denary, because they that were to be expected and to offer sacrifices, were to abstain from some certain things for ten dayes. Whence amongst the Egyptians i• was the custome for him that would sacrifice to Jo, to •• ten dayes before, which Apuleius testifies of himself, saying It was commanded that I should for the space of ten dayes refrain all meat, and be fasting. There are ten sanguine parts of man, the Menstrues, the Sperm, the Plasmatick spirit the Mass, the Humours, the Organicall body, the vegetative part, the sensitive part, reason, and the mind. There are also ten simple integrall parts constituting man, the bone, cartilage, nerve, fibre, ligament, artery, vein, membrane flesh, skin. There are also ten parts of which a man consists intrinsecally; The spirit, the brain, the lungs, the heart, the liver, the gall, the spleen, the kidnies, the testicles, the Matrix. There were ten Curtains in the Temple, ten strings in the Psaltery; ten musicall instruments with which Psalms were sang, the names whereof were, Neza, on which their Odes were sang, Nablum, the same as Organs, Mizmor, on which the Psalms, Sir, on which the Canticles, Tehila, on which Orations, Beracha, on which Benedictions, Halel, on which Praises: Hodaia, on which Thanks, Asre on which the Felicity of any one, Hallelujah, on which the praises of God only, and Contemplations. There were also ten singers of Psalms, viz. Adam, Abraham, Melchisedech, Moses, Asaph, David, Solomon, and three sons of Chora, there are also ten commandements; And the tenth day after the ascension of Christ the Holy Ghost came down. This lastly is the number, in which Jacob wrestling with the Angel all sight overcame, and at the rising of the Sun was blessed, and called by the name of Israel In this number Joshua overcame thirty one kings, and David overcame Goliah, ••d the Philistines, and Daniel escaped the danger of the •ions. This number also is as circular as unity, because being ••aped together, returns into a unity, from whence it had •s beginning, and it is the end, and perfection of all numbers, and the beginning of tens. As the number ten flows ••ck into a unity, from whence it proceeded so every thing that is flowing is returned back to that from which it had be beginning of its Flux. So water returns to the Sea, ••om whence it had its beginning, the body returns to the earth, from whence it was taken: time returns into Eternity, from whence it flowed, the spirit shall return to •od that gave it; and lastly every creature returns to nothing, from whence it was created, neither is it support •• but by the word of God, in whom all things are hid; and things with the number ten, and by the number ten, make •ound, as saith Proclus, taking their beginning from God, ••d ending in him. God therefore that first unity, or one ••ing, before he communicated himself to inferiours, diffused himself first into the first of numbers, viz. The number three, •en into the number ten, as into ten Idea's, and measures of •aking all numbers, and all things, which the Hebrews call •• Attributes, and account ten divine names; For which those there cannot be a further number. Hence all tens have •me divine thing in them, and in the Law are required of •od as his own, together with the first fruits, as the origi •l of things, and beginning of numbers, and everytenth is as the end given to him, who is the beginning, and end of all things.
