Chobar, and four cherubims in four wheels. Also, in Daniel, four great beasts did ascend
from the sea; and four winds did fight. And in the Revelations, four beasts were full of
eyes, before and behind, standing round about the throne of God and for angels, to whom
was given power to hurt the earth and the sea, did stand upon the four corners of the
earth, holding the four winds, that they should not blow upon the earth, nor upon the sea,
nor upon any tree.

CHAP. XX.
OF THE NUMBER FIVE, AND ITS SCALE.
THE number Five is of no small force; for it consists of the first even and the first odd; as
of a female and male: for an odd number is the male, and the even the female; whence
arithmeticians call that the father, and this the mother. Therefore the number five is of no
small perfection or virtue, which proceeds from the mixtion of these numbers; it is, also,
the just middle of the universal number, viz. ten: for if you divide the number ten, there
will be nine and one, or eight and two, and seven and three, or six and four, and every
collection makes the number ten, and the exact middle is always the number five, and its
equa-distant; and therefore it is called, by the Pythagorians, the number of wedlock, as
also of justice, because it divides the number ten in an even scale. There are five senses in
man--sight, hearing, smelling, tasting, and feeling; five powers in the soul--vegetative,
sensitive, concupiscible, irascible, and rational; five fingers on the hand; five wandering
planets in the heavens, according to which there are fivefold terms in every sign. In
elements there are five kinds of mixed bodies, viz. stones, metals, plants, plant-animals,
animals; and so many kinds of animals--as men, four-footed beasts, creeping, swimming,
and flying. And there are five kinds by which all things are made of God, viz. essence, the
same, another, sense, and motion. The swallow brings forth but five young, which she
feeds with equity, beginning with the eldest, and so the rest according to their age. For in
this number the father Noah found favour with God, and was preserved in the flood of
waters. In the virtue of this number, Abraham, being an hundred years old, begat a son of
Sarah (Sarah being ninety years old, and a barren woman, and past childbearing), and
grew up to be a great people. Hence, in time of grace, the name of Divine Omnipotency is
called upon in five letters; in time of nature, the name of God was called upon with three
letters ???, Sadai; in time of the law, the ineffable name of God was expressed with four
letters ???? instead of which the Hebrews express ???? Adonai; in time of grace, the
ineffable name of God was written with five letters ?????, Jhesu, which is called upon
with no less mystery than that of three letters ???.
