A32843	Britannia Baconica: or, The natural rarities of England, Scotland, & Wales. According as they are to be found in every shire. Historically related, according to the precepts of the Lord Bacon; methodically digested; and the causes of may of them philosophically attempted. With observations upon them, and deductions from them, whereby divers secrets in nature are discovered, and some things hitherto reckoned prodigies, are fain to confess the cause whence they proceed. Usefull for all ingenious men of what profession of quality soever. / By J. Childrey.	Childrey, J. (Joshua), 1623-1670.	1662 (1662)	Wing C3870; ESTC R20076	95,453	214

know_v be_v not_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o nature_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o wind_n off_o at_o sea_n though_o at_o land_n its_o wander_n be_v not_o altogether_o so_o sensible_a we_o shall_v easy_o
