thundreth than lightneth signifieth raine to insue 8. The Sommer thundrings hapning at noone and at Euening is a note of raine to folow 9. If mightily thundring it then rayneth not yet doth it shewe raine comming for the more part and this hapneth according to the condition of the ayre and season of the yeare 10. Plynie affirmeth that if it shal thunder when Hennes doe sit that the Egges to perishe but this generally doe women of experience denie 11. Hermes an obseruer of celestiall matters wryteth that the thunders of Ianuarie to promise mightie windes and the aboundaunce of corne The thundring in February threatneth the death of manye and especially of the riche The thundring in the Moneth of March portendeth mightie windes firtylitie and populare battels The thunders of Aprill promise a good and ioyous yere The thundering in May thretneth famine and scarcitie The thunders of Iune signifie a fruitfull yéelde and the plentie of victuals The thunders of Iuly promise a plentifull increase of victuals but the scarcitie of fruites The thundring in August portendeth a prosperous estate of the common welth but many diseases and sicknesses The thunders of September signifieth firtilitie but the death of the Nobilitie The thundring in October pronounceth mightie windes with the scarcitie of fruites and victuals The thunders of Nouember promise the large increase of corne and ioy to men The thunders of December declare the aboundance of victuals and agréement of the people The learned Beda wryteth that if thunder be first heard comming out of the East quarter the same foresheweth before the yere go about or be ended the great effusion of bloud That if thunder first heard out of the West quarter then mortalitie and a grieuous plague to insue That if thunder be first heard out of the South quarter threatneth the death of many by shipwrack That if thunder be first heard out of the North quarter doth then portend the death of wicked persons and the ouerthrowe of many Other obseruations of the auncient that may be vsed of any that will without superstition as touching the thunder may a man further reade in my booke of the Myrrour of time Of that lightning named Fulgur what the same is and of the others IT is an exhalation kindled through the often agitation like to towe by which the matter séeketh issue which yet to the earth falleth not or the same is when the onely fyre sheweth So that the same is caused when the clowde is thinne and yéeldeth to the breaking forth of the fyre without noyse The lyke is that named Fulgetrum sauing that it sheweth weaker and of lesser light although many name the Fulgetrum to be the often repeatings togither of the fyre which the lyke are vsuall in Haruest That flashing much lyke a glistring light is the same which out of the kindled exhalation aryseth which by the sides of the clowde is forced and driuen forth Or it is the sodaine appearance through time of the subtill vapour and kindled running along by the ayre which is discerned before the thunder be heard and no marueyle in that the light is farre swifter than the noyse and the sight alwayes goeth before the hearing as by a like in the cutting of timber yet after nature is the light the later For the exhalation hote and drie is caried into the middle region of the ayre and before it higher assendeth of the vapour togither eleuated and forced into a thick clowde is the same compassed and included and when it can delate it selfe no more through the waterie and colde clowde it then wandreth about the whole clowde and séeketh issue forth which when it findeth not as disdayning breaketh then the clowde through which violent breaking forth is that noyse caused which we name the thunder and togither with that motion in which it wandred by the clowde and claue the clowde is the same kindled and when this sparseth the flame as it were abroad in the ayre then is it named Fulgur The difference betwéene the thunder and broade lightning is that the thunder is the selfe same noyse in the ayre which the vapour causeth running in the clowde and séeking issue forth But the broade lightning is the selfe same fyerie brightnesse which aryseth of the vapour issued and kindled For when it contended through the resistaunce and brake forth that flying away kindled the fyre The flashing lightning properly is none other than a brightnesse of the exhalation kindled and breaking forth of the clowde which shyneth abroade in the ayre But that named Fulgetrum is a lesser lightning and darcker flame in the aire So that the same is named Fulmen or the perillousser lightning when the whole exhalation kindled is sent downewarde But that weaker lightning named Fulgur is when the brightnesse onely of that exhalation kindled shyneth in the aire Thus Seneca reporteth in the first booke of naturall questions That the clowdes meanely smyting togyther cause the weake lightnings but the clowdes smyting togyther by a greater force cause the violent lightnings The diuersitie of colours in the lightning procéedeth of the diuersitie of matter in that one whiles whyte and cléere an other whyles yealow and darke and other whiles red and fumous or darke it appeareth euen as the dyuers colours that are discerned in the clowdes The whyte and cléere lightning procéedeth of the subtill and thinne vapour or of a thinne exhalation in a clowde ouer waterie whereof it sustaineth not a vehement heate and burning Hereof the bodyes which this toucheth doth it little or nothing burne so that more by beame than by the fyre doth it harme This sometymes is profitable to fruites and a little to the leaues of Trées if it hapneth in an apt place and time The darcke yealow lightning procéedeth of a thinne and somewhat clammye fume in which the flame is shyning and portendeth a vehement heate and perillous fyre if the same especially be sent downewarde The red lightning is caused through a thicke clowde and the exhalation well fermented or mixed togither which brasteth forth with a terrible noyse in the swelling ayre The grosser vapour of this hardly kindled procureth a verie daungerous flame which euen through the middle of the raine forceth and worketh his fearefull properties This lightning many times setteth cities on fire and burneth euen into the earth water not preuayling or able to resist it such is the mightie force of this celestiall fyre that so violently and grieuously destroyeth The fumous and somewhat black lightning procéedeth of a verie earthly and obscure yet a matter mightily burning whose clowde in that it containeth very much of the viscous moysture is woont to fabricate or forme a black or yronnie stone which in the shot sent forth burneth hastilye mightie bodyes of trées and sundrie other most solide matters without shewe or signe left behinde yea these and other matters this cleaueth destroyeth and vtterly wasteth The lightnings in the night are playner and more apparant
