Compiled by Godfridus super palladium de agricultara [sic], Anglicarum. Together with the husband-mans practice, or prognostication for eve[r:] as teacheth Albert, Alkind, and Ptolomey with the shepheards prognostication of the weather, and Pythag[oras] his wheele of fortune.

a myst and that all the same time there be no Clouds in the element it is a token of trouble in the Ayre and much raine or snow after the time of the yeare And when they be cleare and red they judge it to be windy Likewise if thou séest the common Stars thicke darke and of course sight it betokeneth alwayes change of weather If thou in cleare weather séest the Starres shoot and fall downe to the earth that is a token that there shall be shortly after wind from those parts where the starres doe shoot and the more they shoot the stronger shall be the wind For when you sée such things present it betokeneth inordinate wind and when you sée such like in every part of the element that is a token of great trouble in the Ayre in all parts with thunder and lightning 12 How to know the Weather by the rising and going down of the Sun When the Sun ariseth cleare and faire it is a token of a faire day When the Sun ariseth and hath about him red Clouds it is a token that it will rain that day When

in the rising or going down thereof is in many sundry colours or else as red as fire or else that the light of the Sun doth fall or that the colour be setled or that the Clouds stand thereby or that

Bacon the better to kéep their fat in boiling about the Full Moon The use of a small portable Instrument to find the Hour of the Day upon the least appearance of the Sun THis Instrument may be made either of Wood Brasse or Silver or for a shift this Paper ●t felf being pasted upon a fine piece of Board that will not wary may supply the want of a better In the Tenter of this Instrument which is noted with the Letter A there is fined a piece of fine silk having a small Plummet of Lead at the end thereof noted with the Letter P and upon this string let there be a Bead or small Pins-head which may be slipped up and down the string as occasion shall require this small Bead or Pins head is noted with the Letter O Likewise upon the edge of the Instrument noted with A B you must have a small piece of wier or a piece of a small pin about a quarter of an inch in length which must such up right upon the ●dge of the Iustrument this small more of wier is noted with the letter 6 as if you will you way have a small hole made in the line A B into which you may stick a pin when you would know the hour of the day which will be sufficient Lastly between the Lines B C and D D are certain small divisions which are the dayes of the twelve months of the year noted with the first Letter of every month as I for Ianuary F for February M for March A for April M for May I for June I for July A for August S for September O for October N for November and D for December Now the Hour-lines offer themselves to every ones eye having the numbers 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 set at each end of them Having thus described the several parts of the Instrument I will now shew the use thereof which is very easie For first the thred being fired fast in the Center at A you must lay the string upon the cay of the mouth as in the figure the string lieth upon the 10th day of April then staying it there move the bead up or down the string till it lie just upon the line of 12 as you sée in the figure at O then is your Instrument fitted to finde the haur any time that day which you must do after this manner Take the Instrument in your hand laying the thumb of your right hand about E and the thumb of your left hand about R turning the left side of your body to the Sun and hold up the Instrument till the Sun cast the shadow of the short piece of wier in S streight along the line S C neither above nor below it the string playing at frée liberty by the side of the Instrument then shall the bead faling upon the houre-line give you the true hour of the day either before or after noon Example If you would find the hour on the 5th of April you must then lay the thred upon that day and kéeping it there move the bead till it lie upon the line of 12 then holding the Instrument in your hand and turning the left side of your body to the Sun hold it up till the shadow of the small wier fall just upon the line S M and then the thred and plummet having free liberty to move along the side of the Instrument observe where the bead resteth and there is the hour of the day as if it fall upon the line noted with 9 3 then it is either 9 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon in like manner if it fall upon the lines 10 2 it is either 10 in the morning or 2 in the afternoon again if it fall just between the lines of 8 and 3 then it is either half an hour past 8 in the morning or half an hour past 3 in the afternoon and which of these hours it is may he easily disstinguished Note that from the tenth day of March to the twelfth of Sea tember you must make use of those Houre-lines which are drawn with a full line thus But from the twelfth of September to the tenth of March you must make use of those Houre-lines which are pricked thus ......
