The glory of the stars is the beauty of Heaven. . .
---LXX Sirach 43:9
"Nor can we suppose that Seth was less
instructed . . . the prime cultivator of astronomy . . ."
---James Anderson, The Constitutions Of The Freemasons
James Anderson, writing about Freemasonry,
asserted that Seth, son of Adam, cultivated
first knowledge of the stars, now called astronomy;
so much the Heavens were deeply appreciated.
Perhaps he was, by one of Cain's son's, sore abused---
a son of Cain steeped in a braggart's ignorance---
by shrill accusatory without evidence;
which neither courtesy nor reason had excused.
