our discourse and subject besides since it may very well be an help both for the plainness and certainty thereof to such as perhaps are not of sufficient capacity to attain to the perfection of what we have set down before I have adventured to give them to understand thus much How to judge of weather by the rising and setting of the Sun That when the Sun riseth clear and bright in our Horizon it denotes a pleasant day but fowl weather if then he be overcast with a thin cloud if he set being free from clouds a fair night followeth also being then divers coloured his beams long and red denotes windes the next day from that part or quarter of heaven his beams spotted green black or pale promiseth rain that night if at his setting there be one or more circles about him you are to observe whether they are red and here and there broken for then he denotes vehement windes that night if obscured thick and black circles it signifies cold windes and snow in Winter many circles denote winde of what colour soever they are but the more if they be red if but one circle be about him and and that clear and of no continuance fair weather is to be expected understand the same of the Moon which you have heard of the Sun when there is circles about her blackness in the Sun and Moon denotes rain redness winde The element red in the morning shews winde and rain to ensue that day the same in the Evening declares the contrary for the day following is for the most part then fair and in this manner of Prognostication we finde the Pharisees very expert as appears in the 16. of Matthew By the colour of the Moon Also if the Moon in the third day after the change and the third day before the full or in the midst of the quarter be found of a red colour causeth windes pale and inclining to blackness and a muddy obscurity brings rain but being bright and clear the end direct upright and free from circles promiseth fair weather By the Rain-bow Look also to the the time when a Rain-bow appears and by it judge of weather thus if it appear in fair weather judge fowl will follow if in fowl fair will follow this is the opinion of some and it stands with very much reason to be true if we look to the first Ordination thereof in the 9 of Gen. again if it appear in the morning rain and moisture is thereby portended if in the evening fair weather By Comets From Comets if we require judgment touching these matters we are to know that they never appear but they bring as well great and terrible alteration in the ayr as on the earth but of this we shall have more occasion to treat anon in the next Section wherefore here only note that they cause dry weather and ayr great and high windes especially if they appear obscure and cloudy And their power and efficacy judge by their greatness smalness length and shortness they cause also sickness by corruption of ayr if they appear in Aiery or Earthy signs By clouds When you see thick clouds and resembling flocks gathered together in many places they denote rain and so do dark obscure thick clouds over the North part of Heaven declining to the West if they appear like hils and somewhat above the Earth it shews weather over-passed black clouds promise rain white clouds appearing in Winter two or three days together in the East part of Heaven shews cold and snow By Stars When the Stars seem to fall which we vulgarly term shooting of the Stars it prenotes winde in that part but if they shoot in many places or perhaps all over the Heavens Inordinate windes thunder lightnings and very tempestuous weather and when they seem to run along out of one place into another it denotes winde and that the weather shall alter from the temper wherein it is if but few appear and those obscure and cloudy also if they at any time seem greater and brighter then usual it denotes winde and rain in these parts where you see such Stars appear and in Winter they presage frosts snow and cold weather but herein unless thou art well acquainted with their Natural magnitudes thou mayest be deceived and canst never be perfect By the Prime day Again you may judge of the weather by the prime day thus if it be Monday judge moist weather Tuesday windy and cold Wednesday very cold Thursday fair and clear Friday mixt weather Saturday moist and Sunday dry By Thunder Thunder in the Morning also denotes winde about Noon in the Evening rain and tempest Thunder also in the Winter shews terrible accidents and alterations the Summer following whence the old Proverb A Winters Thunder is a Summers wonder also when in any Summer you finde no Thunder the Winter following will be very unhealthful and obnoxious to all creatures And thus much of the alteration of the ayr and change of weather Come we now to shew some natural reasons for such things as are commonly incident amongst us and yet their cause by many unknown and so hasten to conclude this Section CHAP. XVI Demonstrating the Natural cause of many Suns of the Rain-bow Rain Hail Frost Snow Dew Winde Earth-quakes Comets Thunders Lightnings and the cause of the Sun and the Moons Eclipse LEaving now our Astrological Discourse I shall here a little step out of the way and shew my Reader who hath not waded far into the Ocean of Nature what Hail Snow Dew Winde and the Rain-bow is and how it comes to pass we have many Suns sometimes visible and Moons also what Thunder and Lightning is and how we come to haue such strange and new Stars as are Comets and the like and how the Sun and the Moon become sometimes eclipsed or darkned that so he may not be to seek in these ordinary and small matters which I believe may stumble some more then greater and higher things The reason of many Suns and Moon We shall then in order handle each of these as they are set down in the contents and first then we are to take this for an approved rule that there never appeareth any Parelii or mock Suns nor mock Moons above or beneath the Sun or Moon but on each side and that neither but at the Sun-rising or setting and they are thus occasioned when a thick cloud is gathered together toward the side of the Sun or the Moon in which the broken beams of the Sun or Moon being gathered the very form or fashion of the Sun or Moon is represented unto us therein The cause of the Rain bow As touching the Rain-bow it is no more then the reflection of the Sun-beams in a cloud that turns to the contrary vapour What rain is Rain is a cold vapour drawn up or exhaled by the attractive faculty of the Sun to the nether part of
