Exhalation in them The Pabulum of Winds is commonly called a Helm from the Greek Word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which signifies Spiro to Breath and they are Either Visible or Invisible The Visible Helms are Either Opake Mixt or Translucent These Wind Helms fix upon the coldest parts of the Globe as the Gibbosity of the Sea the Tops of the highest Mountains Mountain-Heaths Waters and Rivers The Matter on which these Helms consist is a Vaporous Mist which as it endeavours to rise up is pressed down by the Sphere of Rarefaction and by Rarifying the Nitrous part of it which is always uppermost into Wind the still Body of the Air is put into a violent Flux every Blast of Wind being only a Wave of Air the Rapidity of its Motions is occasion'd by the Declivity of the Mountains Wherever the Grand Helm fixeth from that Quarter the Wind blows untill the stock of Vapours be spent For Instance If the Grand Helm fix upon the Mountains of Germany the Second Helm fixeth upon the Gibbosity of the Eastern Seas by the Gibbosity of the Sea I understand that middle Ridge where the Flux and Reflux breaketh the Third Helm fixeth upon Crossfelt and that Ridge of Mountains the Fourth Helm fixeth upon Skidday and that Ridge of Mountains and so forward until the Grand Pabulum be spent and then the Wind ceaseth and the Air is Calm That distance between Helm and Helm we call an Arch over which as the Vapours rise the Wind blows them from Helm to Helm one feeding and repairing another until the Grand Stock be spent And so on the contrary if the Grand Helm fix upon the Mountains in Irela●d the Wind blows West forming Helms and Arches till that Stock be spent The Grand Helm is always Opake consisting of all Vapour The first Wind is Wet and ●ainy the Arch over-Clouded for as the Nitrous part of the 〈◊〉 ●iseth and is ●arify'd into Wind it driveth before it the Rain as the Sal● 〈◊〉 being fir'd drives before it Hail shot The Second Helm is Mix'd being part Exhalation and part Vapour the upper part of the Helm being Exhalation is Translucent this Wind is Showry and the Arch Cloudy The Third Helm is Translucent being all Exhalation the Wind Dry the Air Clear The Invisible Helms are all Exhalation and they seldom rise as high as the Tops of Mountains but fix upon Waters Rivers the Tops and Sides of H●lls and high Buildings these Winds are the lowest that Blow one may go through them and find a Calm upon the Tops of Mountains This is a common Observation made by those who Live under the Mountains The P●●ulum of these Winds being soon spent they change often Observations concerning Winds Helms and Arches When the Vapours and E●halations rise from the Waters to the Skirts of the Mountains and 〈◊〉 Roll and Trail to and fro the Sphere of Rarefaction is 〈◊〉 and these Vapours and Exhalations being Rarefy'd into Wind it blows till the Stock be spent These are Spring Winds and Summer Winds they continue only from Ten a Clock till Three in the Afternoon and are sometimes ●arri●d about 〈◊〉 the Sun they seldom rise as high as the Tops of the Mountain● When the Vapours rise to the Tops of the Mountains and fix there in a Black and Opake Ledge expect a Rai●y Wind. When they are Opake at the bottom and White at the Top expect a Showery Rain When the Helm is White and Translucent expect a dry Wind. When the Helms are even Ballanc'd with Vapours and Exhalations the Wind will Blow sometimes from both Helms and sometimes a third Blast of Wind will come from a middle Point or Quarter and sometimes also a Blast of Wind will come whirling down from above our Heads with great violence When the whole Horizon is Helm'd about expect contrary Blasts Whirlwinds or Hurricanes When the Helms rise and close up the Arch with black Clouds expect great Rains Where the Clouds begin to open and Brighten Mountain height the Wind will blow from that Quarter for there a new Helm is fix'd and the Sphere of Rarefaction is faln a working In large Continents at great distance from the Sea where there are not many Mountains wherever the Wind-Helm fixeth and the Pabulum is gathered the Wind will blow from that Point or H●lm for some Months together These we call Trade Winds CHAP.

Prognostications of the change and alteration of Weather from the Setting and Rising of the Sun Prognostications of Rain from the Setting of the Sun WHen the Sun Setteth in ● black waterish Cloud the Vapours are condens'd by the Evening Cold and the Morning Cold raiseth them up into the Cold Regions of the Air where they Swim until Nine or Ten a Clock next Morning and then their own weight causeth them to sink and break into Rain When the Sun goes down wading or forcing as they call it the Vapours are drawing down with the Evening Cold and the next Morning Cold condenseth them into Clouds which the next Day fall down in Showers of R●●n about Twelve a Clock When the Sun Sets broad and glimmering it Sets in thin Vapours which the next Day will fall down in a misling Rain Signs of fair Weather When the Sun Sets clear and appears little and fiery the Vapours are all spent and you may expect a fair and hot Day to follow When the Sun Sets through thin Clouds sharp edged like Swords these are little Wind-Helms and you must expect a fair and windy Day to follow When after the Sun is Set its Beams strike the Air with a Crimson-red you may expect that the next Day will be Fair and Windy Signs of Rain from the Rising Sun If before the Sun appears its Rising Beams strike the Air with a Crimson-Red expect Wind and Rain about Ten a Clock for the Air is full of Vapours and Exhalations When the Sun Riseth broad and glimmering and is presently receiv'd into a black Cloud the Morning Cold rise●h and takes up with it the Vapours which fall down in great Rains When the Sun Riseth clear and several little black Clouds are ready to receive it expect a Showery Day Signs of a fair Day from the Rising Sun If the Sun Rise little and fiery and the Vapours draw down to the Waters leaving a Dew upon the Ground these Vapours about Ten a Clock are Rarify'd into Wind which continues blowing only till Three in the Afternoon and Prognosticate a fair Season If the Sun Rise in thick Clouds and appear not till until Ten a Clock expect a clear Afte●noon If the Sun appear not till Twelve a Clock expect not only a clear Afternoon but a dry Season for the Morning Cold riseth not The Rising of the Morning Cold and its lif●ing up the Vapours with it is the cause of all the Rain we have FINIS BOOKS Printed for Iohn Newton at the Three Pigeons over against the Inner-Temple-Gate in Fleet-Street A Charge given at the
