A86055	Natura prodigiorum or, a discourse touching the nature of prodigies. Together with the kinds, causes and effects, of comets, eclipses, and earthquakes. With an appendix touching the imposturism of the commonly-received doctrine of prophecies, spirits, images, sigils, lamens, the christal, &c. and the propugners of such opinions. / By John Gadbury philomathēmatikos.

first_o kind_n of_o earthquake_n be_v a_o lateral_a or_o side-long_a shake_n as_o when_o the_o whole_a force_n or_o fury_n of_o the_o wind_n drive_v to_o one_o place_n only_o there_o be_v no_o

further_a harm_n the_o earth_n only_o shake_v like_o one_o sick_a of_o a_o ague_n 2._o the_o second_o kind_n be_v not_o so_o much_o lateral_a or_o side-long_a as_o perpendicular_a or_o upright_o and_o happen_v when_o the_o earth_n with_o great_a violence_n be_v so_o lift_v up_o that_o the_o building_n thereof_o be_v likely_a to_o fall_v and_o sudden_o it_o sink_v down_o again_o for_o after_o the_o wind_n or_o vapour_n that_o cause_v the_o earth_n to_o swell_v be_v break_v out_o of_o its_o prison_n the_o earth_n return_v to_o its_o old_a place_n even_o as_o it_o be_v before_o 3._o the_o three_o

four_o kind_n of_o earthquake_n be_v a_o shake_n that_o cause_v sink_v and_o be_v far_o differ_v from_o the_o former_a for_o now_o the_o earth_n split_v not_o but_o sink_v it_o happen_v in_o such_o place_n where_o though_o the_o surface_n or_o upper_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v solid_a and_o firm_a yet_o the_o foundation_n thereof_o be_v but_o salt_n which_o be_v moisten_v by_o water_n be_v drive_v through_o it_o by_o the_o force_n of_o the_o shake_a exhalation_n be_v turn_v to_o water_n also_o and_o after_o this_o manner_n according_a to_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o famous_a plato_n be_v the_o atlantic_a ocean_n from_o a_o island_n turn_v into_o a_o sea_n 5._o the_o five_o and_o last_o kind_n of_o earthquake_n be_v different_a from_o the_o former_a for_o as_o before_o the_o ground_n sink_v down_o so_o now_o it_o be_v cast_v up_o somewhat_o like_a to_o the_o second_o kind_n mention_v only_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o now_o it_o return_v not_o to_o its_o place_n again_o but_o remain_v a_o very_a great_a mountain_n like_v unto_o that_o of_o mercley_n hill_n in_o herefordshire_n which_o happen_v about_o a_o hundred_o year_n since_o as_o be_v mention_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o book_n and_o note_v that_o if_o such_o a_o rise_a happen_v in_o the_o sea_n it_o do_v not_o only_a cause_n overflow_a but_o also_o produce_v many_o island_n such_o as_o be_v never_o see_v before_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o species_n of_o earthquake_n 3._o of_o their_o antecedentia_fw-la as_o for_o the_o antecedentia_fw-la or_o the_o sign_n and_o forerunner_n of_o earthquake_n according_a to_o the_o best_a of_o author_n they_o be_v chief_o these_o which_o follow_v 1._o a_o great_a calmness_n tranquillity_n and_o serenety_n of_o the_o air_n intermix_v with_o
