a_o diligent_a observer_n of_o the_o wind_n before_o they_o blow_v and_o take_v narrow_a inspection_n of_o the_o weatherglass_n he_o will_v sure_o foresee_v they_o approach_v by_o some_o alteration_n or_o other_o in_o it_o it_o may_v be_v inquire_v whether_o mist_n or_o fog_n do_v affect_v the_o weatherglass_n i_o answer_v yes_o for_o i_o have_v observe_v when_o the_o mercury_n have_v be_v up_o at_o fair_a the_o fall_v down_o of_o a_o fog_n have_v bring_v it_o down_o three_o or_o four_o degree_n it_o may_v be_v inquire_v when_o the_o mercury_n i●…_n at_o the_o high_a station_n in_o the_o

long_o fair_a half_o a_o inch_n next_o to_o fair_a another_o half_a inch._n three_o to_o changeable_n as_o much_o and_o last_o to_o rain_v this_o motion_n be_v slow_a and_o therefore_o it_o foretell_v

see_v it_o fall_v down_o from_o long_o fair_a to_o fair_a and_o then_o halt_v by_o reason_n of_o some_o stir_a wind_n or_o by_o reason_n of_o some_o small_a change_n of_o wether_n in_o some_o county_n near_o hand_n when_o it_o be_v far_o up_o as_o at_o long_o fair_a or_o above_o it_o it_o be_v next_o to_o impossible_a that_o either_o wind_n or_o rain_n can_v be_v some_o who_o be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o the_o weatherglass_n judge_v it_o err_v when_o they_o see_v the_o mercury_n at_o rain_n and_o yet_o no_o rain_n i_o confess_v it_o may_v be_v so_o if_o it_o be_v not_o right_o adjust_v at_o

it_o may_v be_v inquire_v if_o snow_n and_o hail_n have_v the_o same_o effect_n upon_o the_o weatherglass_n which_o rain_v have_v i_o answer_v yes_o for_o they_o be_v both_o from_o the_o same_o
