Natural Table of the Correspondences Existing Between God, Man, and the Universe

material corporization of the Universe; that this number of six actions must consequently direct all sensible things, as it directed their origin; that it must make itself known not only in the direction of universal and particular bodies, but even in the times that are granted to them for their existence.

Independently of the metaphysical sixfold relationship of the radius to the circumference, these truths are represented in the celestial part, where six planetary stars act and move under the eye of a seventh star which is their chief and dominator.

They are represented materially in the six simple powers of mechanics, which serve as fundamental mobiles for all the movements of bodies.

They are represented temporally and intellectually in music, which cannot have regular movement without its progression being sixfold; for, although we only sensibly perceive a fifth between the dominant and the tonic, it is no less true that this fifth contains two very distinct thirds.

Finally, they are represented corporeally in the six lymphatic and white globules, which, according to Physiologists, constitute each red globule of our blood.
