A86055	Natura prodigiorum or, a discourse touching the nature of prodigies. Together with the kinds, causes and effects, of comets, eclipses, and earthquakes. With an appendix touching the imposturism of the commonly-received doctrine of prophecies, spirits, images, sigils, lamens, the christal, &c. and the propugners of such opinions. / By John Gadbury philomathēmatikos.

first_o kind_n of_o earthquake_n be_v a_o lateral_a or_o side-long_a shake_n as_o when_o the_o whole_a force_n or_o fury_n of_o the_o wind_n drive_v to_o one_o place_n only_o there_o be_v no_o

further_a harm_n the_o earth_n only_o shake_v like_o one_o sick_a of_o a_o ague_n 2._o the_o second_o kind_n be_v not_o so_o much_o lateral_a or_o side-long_a as_o perpendicular_a or_o upright_o and_o happen_v when_o the_o earth_n with_o great_a violence_n be_v so_o lift_v up_o that_o the_o building_n thereof_o be_v likely_a to_o fall_v and_o sudden_o it_o sink_v down_o again_o for_o after_o the_o wind_n or_o vapour_n that_o cause_v the_o earth_n to_o swell_v be_v break_v out_o of_o its_o prison_n the_o earth_n return_v to_o its_o old_a place_n even_o as_o it_o be_v before_o 3._o the_o three_o

four_o kind_n of_o earthquake_n be_v a_o shake_n that_o cause_v sink_v and_o be_v far_o differ_v from_o the_o former_a for_o now_o the_o earth_n split_v not_o but_o sink_v it_o happen_v in_o such_o place_n where_o though_o the_o surface_n or_o upper_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v solid_a and_o firm_a yet_o the_o foundation_n thereof_o be_v but_o salt_n which_o be_v moisten_v by_o water_n be_v drive_v through_o it_o by_o the_o force_n of_o the_o shake_a exhalation_n be_v turn_v to_o water_n also_o and_o after_o this_o manner_n according_a to_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o famous_a plato_n be_v the_o atlantic_a ocean_n from_o a_o island_n turn_v into_o a_o sea_n 5._o the_o five_o and_o last_o kind_n of_o earthquake_n be_v different_a from_o the_o former_a for_o as_o before_o the_o ground_n sink_v down_o so_o now_o it_o be_v cast_v up_o somewhat_o like_a to_o the_o second_o kind_n mention_v only_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o now_o it_o return_v not_o to_o its_o place_n again_o but_o remain_v a_o very_a great_a mountain_n like_v unto_o that_o of_o mercley_n hill_n in_o herefordshire_n which_o happen_v about_o a_o hundred_o year_n since_o as_o be_v mention_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o book_n and_o note_v that_o if_o such_o a_o rise_a happen_v in_o the_o sea_n it_o do_v not_o only_a cause_n overflow_a but_o also_o produce_v many_o island_n such_o as_o be_v never_o see_v before_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o species_n of_o earthquake_n 3._o of_o their_o antecedentia_fw-la as_o for_o the_o antecedentia_fw-la or_o the_o sign_n and_o forerunner_n of_o earthquake_n according_a to_o the_o best_a of_o author_n they_o be_v chief_o these_o which_o follow_v 1._o a_o great_a calmness_n tranquillity_n and_o serenety_n of_o the_o air_n intermix_v with_o some_o cold_a the_o reason_n of_o which_o be_v because_o the_o exhalation_n which_o shall_v be_v blow_v abroad_o be_v whole_o within_o the_o earth_n 2._o the_o dimness_n and_o paleness_n of_o the_o sun_n for_o certain_a day_n together_o although_o there_o be_v no_o cloud_n to_o interpose_v the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v because_o the_o wind_n which_o shall_v have_v dissolve_v and_o purge_v the_o gross_a air_n be_v take_v captive_a and_o keep_v and_o enclose_v within_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n 3._o a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a quietude_n and_o solitariness_n of_o bird_n i._n e._n if_o they_o do_v not_o fly_v but_o sit_v still_o and_o be_v fearful_a to_o let_v any_o come_v near_o unto_o they_o the_o reason_n of_o which_o be_v because_o either_o the_o pen_a exhalation_n send_v some_o

else_o it_o be_v by_o reason_n they_o be_v scarce_o able_a to_o fly_v for_o want_v of_o some_o gentle_a gale_n for_o their_o wing_n as_o they_o fly_v to_o strike_v upon_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n well_o know_v that_o bird_n fly_v more_o cheerful_o and_o willing_o when_o the_o air_n be_v of_o such_o a_o temper_n 4._o when_o the_o weather_n of_o itself_o be_v calm_a and_o yet_o the_o water_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v trouble_v and_o rage_v mighty_o and_o the_o reason_n that_o be_v give_v of_o this_o be_v because_o the_o great_a plenty_n of_o spirit_n or_o wind_n in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n begin_v to_o labour_v for_o passage_n that_o way_n but_o find_v none_o be_v send_v back_o again_o whereupon_o it_o soon_o after_o shake_v the_o land_n and_o this_o say_v dr._n swan_n be_v evermore_o a_o certain_a sign_n 5._o when_o the_o water_n in_o the_o bottom_n of_o pit_n and_o deep_a well_n be_v trouble_v ascend_v and_o move_v as_o if_o it_o be_v boil_a stink_v and_o be_v infect_v the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v because_o the_o exhalation_n be_v pen_v and_o strive_v to_o get_v forth_o move_v some_o stink_a mineral_n and_o other_o poisonous_a stuff_n to_o the_o spring_n of_o these_o

water_n and_o they_o with_o the_o struggle_a exhalation_n do_v stir_v and_o attaint_v they_o 6._o when_o a_o long_a thin_a cloud_n be_v see_v in_o a_o clear_a sky_n either_o a_o little_a before_o sun_n set_v or_o soon_o after_o and_o this_o be_v cause_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o calmness_n of_o the_o air_n even_o as_o aristotle_n observe_v that_o in_o a_o quiet_a sea_n the_o wave_n float_v to_o the_o shore_n long_o and_o straight_o 7._o the_o seven_o and_o last_o sign_n and_o that_o which_o can_v but_o be_v infallible_a be_v the_o great_a noise_n and_o sound_v which_o be_v hear_v under_o

large_a enough_o to_o get_v out_o it_o shake_v not_o the_o earth_n and_o thus_o much_o shall_v serve_v for_o the_o antecedentia_fw-la of_o earthquake_n 4._o of_o their_o consequentia_fw-la and_o now_o
