in Summer fair weather in Winter and Spring Snow or Rain Subsolanus eurus the East wind is temperatly dry it produceth Rhumes and cold Dewes it bloweth most commonly at the Suns rising and for the most part little in the night time These four are called Venti principalles the chief winds the intermediate winds between these be North-east South-east South-west North-west The North-east wind is for the most part cold and dry ingendring clouds and somtimes Snow The South-east wind is weak moist and producer of clouds and obscure air The South-west wind is of a hurtfull quality sickly moist producing clouds and rain The North-west wind is most tonitruous tempestuous violent and hasty causing a turbulent air The Laterall winds are in number eight viz. East north-east North north-east North north-west West south-west South south-west South south-east West north-west East south-east The Colaterall winds are in number sixteen viz. 1. East by North. 2. North-east by East 3. North by East 4. Northeast by North. 5. North by West 6. Northwest by North. 7. West by North. 8. Northwest by West 9. Southwest by West 10. West by South 11. Southwest by South 12. South by West 13. South by East 14. Southeast by South 15. Southeast by East 16. East by South Thus having demonstrated briefly the Names and Natures of the Winds I shall in the next Chapter shew you CHAP. XIX How to Prognosticate what winds will blow THat this may be known for 't is not only possible but also probable be pleased to take notice of these few particulars following In the Figure of the Suns ingresse into any of the Cardinal Signs or Conjunction or Opposition of the Luminaries preceeding and succeeding or any Monthly Lunations observe carefully what Planet is predominant in the Figure his position and mutual aspect if he hes any which known do so much but as to take notice what Winds or Quarters of Heaven that Planet or Planets signifie together with the sign he is posited in that you may not be mistaken herein before I go further I will here show you the principal Quarters of Heaven which the Planets signifie by which you may at all times be enabled to give a more then probable conjecture which way the wind will blow For Saturn is mover of the Eastern winds Jupiter of the Northern Mars of the West and Southern Venus of the Southern Mercury according to the nature of that or those Planets he is joyned with or aspected to the Luminaries are movers of the Western winds c. The quality of the winds and their bearing is also known from Planets positions in the Figure for those Planets with Latitude and South Declination from the Medium Coeli moves the Southern winds to blow from the Imum Coeli with Latitude and Northern Declination the North winds The Oriental Planets move the Eastern winds and the Ocidental the Western wind and when they be weak they cause the intermediate winds to blow Likewise the Scituation and Quality of the winds is found from the Latitude of the Moon as she inclines to the North or South The Signs do also demonstrate the winds as well as the Planets although the magnitude of their significations be lesse then the Planets for they draw down their vertues and transmits it to the Earth Aries Leo and Sagitary excite the North-west winds Taurus Virgo and Capricorny the South-east Gemini Libra and Aquary the North-east Cancer Scorpio and Pisces the South-west We may in some measure Prognosticate the quality of the winds for if Mercurius apply to Saturn it produceth great winds clouds and rain if to Jupiter sweet winds if to Mars warm winds if to the Sun warm and hurtfull winds if to Venus winds and so I conclude this Chapter CHAP. XX. Of Earth-quakes Thunders Lightnings Comets c. their naturall causes and significations 1. Of the Rain-bow THe Rain-bow is the shining and rebounding of beams of light which turn to the contrary vapour again in the cloud which is opposite to the Sun and so according to the diversity of the thinnesse of that cloud do the beams appear red above yellow in the midle and green in the lower parts but in themselves all this while they have no real colour that is a true colour Here note that the neerer the Sun is to the Horizon the greater is the Rain-bow The effects of the Rain-bow If the Rain-bow appear or be visible in the morning it signifies moisture unlesse great drought of the air work the contrary if in the evening fair weather Moreover if the Rain-bow appear fair it betokens foul weather but if it appear foul look for fair weather the greener the more rain the reder the more wind 2. Of Rain Rain is a cold vapour and earthly humour or fumosities out of water attracted by the clouds I omit to speak of prodigious and miraculous rains as Milk Blood Flesh c. They who desire to read suck like see Plinius lib. 2. cap. 58. 3. Of Frost and Dew It is a cold moist vapour drawn up in the day by the faint heat of the Sun and descends again in the night where it is either congealed as in Winter or resolved into water as in Summer Frost in the Spring or Harvest is a sign of fair weather 4. Of Snow Snow is a moist vapour drawn up to the midle Region of the Air then thickened and frozen into the body of a Cloud and so congealed descendeth into Fleeces 5. Of Haill Haill is a Cloud resolved into water congeals in its descension the higher it comes and the longer it tarrieth in the Air the rounder is the Haill 6. Of Winds Winds is a multitude of dry exhalations drawn up from the earth enforcing it self here and there 7. Of Earth-quakes Plenty of Winds entered into Holes or Caves of the Earth which being absent from above the Earth causeth quietnesse at last their violent bursting out the earth sudden by closing again causeth the Earthquake 8. Tokens of Earth-quakes to come A fiery clould appearing in the Element like a little Pillar The obscurity and darknesse of the Sun without Clouds and strangely coloured as bloody c. is a token of Earthquakes to come Also when deep Well waters are seen to tremble at the bottome or if the waters there be infected Also a great quietnesse by Sea and Land and especially long absence of Winds Moreover strange sights and apparitions in the Air or the noise and clamours as it were of men in the Clouds rushings of Harnesse Mournings and Lamentations c. 9. Of Thunders Thunder is the quenching of fire in a cloud or a hot and dry exhalation mixed with moisture carried up to the midle Region and wrapping it self in a cloud which is moist there ariseth a strife the heat beating and with a mighty violence breaketh the sides of the cloud with a thundering noise the fire disperses and flashes thence comes the lightning The signification of Thunder 10.

and the Moon in Conjunction Quartile or Opposition alters the quality of the air according to the signs they possesse but generally a temperate season 14. Mars and the Sun in Conjunction Quartile or Opposition in fiery signs portends heat and drynesse In the watry hail thunders and lightning in the airy clouds and in the earthly violent winds c. 15. Mars and Venus in Conjunction Quartile or Opposition in or from moyst signs argueth abundance of if not too much rain especially in Spring and Autumn In Summer showres in Winter remission of cold and snow if Saturn behold them 16. Mars and Mercurius in Conjunction Quartile or Opposition in Winter and Spring argueth snow in Summer hail and thunder in Autumn great winds in fiery and dry signs excessive drowth and winds 17. Mars and the Moon in Conjunction Quartile or Opposition in moist signs rain in fiery drynesse red clouds and sometimes rain in Summer hail lightning and coruscations 18. The Sun and Venus in Conjunction commonly produceth moisture in Spring and Autumn rain in Summer showres and thunder 19. The Sun and Mercury in Conjunction in the airy signs produce winds in the watry rains in the fiery warm winds 20. The Sun and the Moon in Conjunction Quartile or Opposition in moist signs portends rain in fiery fair weather but generally it alters the air according to the nature of the season and ruling Planet 21. When the Sun shall enter the 18 degree of Scorpio if Venus be then in a moist place it 's a sign of rain 22. In Winter if Venus be direct and Oriental it signifies but little rain at the beginning but more at the end 23. When Venus applieth to Mars in Scorpio it brings rain immediatly 24. When the Sun and the Moon Venus and Mercury shall be all conjoyned together it argueth continuall showres that day 25. At the time of the Conjunction or Opposition of the Luminaries if Venus shall be in an Angle it 's a certain sign of rain 26. The Lord of the Ascendant in Conjunction or Opposition of the Luminaries a moist sign produceth rain 27. When the Moon shall come to the sign ascending of her Quartile Conjunction or Opposition the time shall be changed according to the quality and nature of the sign and Asterism 28. A special regard must be had to the nature of the earth and air you live in or write for I mean peculiar to your Horizon because that in all places they are not of alike nature neither do the winds blow alike in all Horizons some being Tropical and peculiar to one place others Chronical which come at a certain time of the year c. CHAP. XVII Vulgar Observations of the changes of the Weather IN the preceeding Chapters I have given you the choicest Aphorisms for giving judgement upon the weather and I am confident that he which understands them which I fear will not be many may not only give a probable conjecture of the weather for one but many years to come But because the preceeding Aphorisms may happen to some to be of difficult understanding to the illiterate I shall therefore shew even the most rural how to foretell the changes of the weather if he have but the eyes of sense and understanding in his head and for his greater facility I shall Marshal the method in these seven Devisions 1. Signs of fair weather 2. Signs of rain 3. Signs of wind 4. Signs of hot weather 5. Signs of drought 6. Signs of cold weather 7. Sings of frosts continuance This is the method now to the matter 1. Signs of fair weather 1. The Sun rising and setting clear 2. The Moon clear three dayes after the Change or before the Full 3. Spots appearing in a Full Moon 4. Clouds with golden edges towards Sun setting 5. A cloudy sky clearing against the wind 6. The Rain bow appearing only Red and Yellow 7. A Red Evening or a Gray Morning 2. Signs of rain 1. When the Sun in his rising is hidden with a black cloud 2. When the Moon within three or four days after the Change is blunt on both horns 3. The Rainbow appearing in a fair day the greener the more rain 4. The extraordinary chattering of the Pyets 5. Cattell licking their hoofs behind 6. When the greatest Stars only appear and that misty 7. Lute or Viol-strings breaking untouched 3. Signs of wind 1. Red clouds in a morning 2. Often shooting of Stars 3. Clouds flying swiftly in a clear air 4. The Rain-bow red 5. Black circles with red strakes about the Sun or Moon 6. Stars dimn and fiery it 's a sign of winde and showres when the Sun beams appear before he riseth 7. If the Sun sets pale or be enclosed with a black circle when he is near the time of his setting 4. Signs of hot weather 1. Many Bats flying abroad sooner then ordinary 2. A white mist rising out of Moores and Waters before the Sun rise 3. The Kyts or Gleds flying high in the air 4. Crowes or Ravens gaping against the Sun 5. Great store of Flyes and Midges playing in the Sun-shine towards night 5. Signs of drought Stars seeming dimn or fiery red signifies both drought and wind Signs of cold weather As frost snow or hail 1. Clouds flying low seeming to touch the tops of hills 2. Great flocks of small Birds gathered together 3. If in the Winter the Sun shine clear towards night 4. The extraordinary twinkling of the Stars 5. Clouds upon heaps like Rocks 6. An obscure circle about the Sun or Moon 7. Signs of frosts continuance Snow falling small in the beginning of a frost but if the snow fall bigg viz. in great flakes then it 's like to thaw very suddenly especially if the Southwind blow CHAP. XVIII Of the Winds their Names and Natures DAyly experience sheweth that the disposition of the Air is much varied by the Scituation of Winds for according to their different bea●ing is the Season much inclined sometime to Wind Rain and Snow and sometime to fair weather The wind it self is nothing else but an exhalation or earthly humor passing over the Superficies of the Earth or it is an Elisian or drawing forth of the Air out of a cold Region The four principal or Cardinal Winds which comes from the four Angles of the World are called the East West North and South the Latins calls them Septentrio Auster Favonius and Subsolanus Septentrio the North wind is cold and dry is very wholsome bringing serenity preservating all things from corruption albeit it be hurtful and pernicious to Flowers young and tender Plants by reason of its excessive coldnesse Auster the South wind is warm and moist sultry hurtfull and dangerous hurts the sight stuffes the head makes men slothfull engenders Diseases putrid Feavers Plurisies Inflamations of the Lungs and when this wind produceth serenity it 's with great heat Favonius the West wind called Zephyrus is moist and watry begetting Rain and Thunder but
