one and the same time generally all the Countrey over For suppose it may rain at London to day tomorrow it may rain at Bristol and be fair and day at London it may rain at Norwich the third day and that day the other two places may be without rain and so it may move from place to place while that rainy influence lasts The common people do call this a falling out by Planets The Twelfth Rule Forget not the Latitude and Scituation of the Country The Latitude is how far North or South it lieth The Scituation is whether it be an Island or firm-Firm-land whether it be hilly or a plain champaign ground a low vale Now an Island is more windy than the Continent or Firm land because the Sea is seldom without winds and it is more warm in winter except it be seituate in the Frozen-zone as Island than the main-main-land therefore Britain hath milder Winters than France In the low Vales and level grounds which are not exalted with hills the rainy clouds make but a short aboad but swiftly move away through those aires without stop whereas among high tops of mountains the clouds are hampered and arrested and have not so free passage but crouding together at length do discharge themselves by millions of drops into the lower bottoms The Scituation also doth tell us what Winds are most frequent and familiar in any Countrey if we do look how the Sea bears to the Land The Western Ocean looketh broad upon Britain from whence Westerly-winds do often blow upon this Island The Mediterranean-Sea upon the East of Portugal giveth that Country moist Easterly-winds These same great waters flowing from the South Regions upon the shoars of Italy do furnish that Country with moist South-winds but the land of Canaan lying at the bottom of the Streights to the East of the Mediterranean doth meet with Westerly wet winds but the winds that blow upon it from the South coming from Sun-burnt Egypt are hot Thus our Saviour reasoneth with the Jews Luke 12. 54 55. We do use to say in Britain that when it cleareth up in the West in time of raines that it will be fair anon because no more Clouds at that time do come from the Western Ocean Under the Equinectial in the middle of the World there is a Trade-wind so called by reason of the great trading of Merchants in those Seas one half of the year blowing from the East and the other half year from the West according as the Sun is on this or that side the Equinoctial And in the East-Indies when the Sun in or near the Aequinoctial is Vertical or direct over their heads it raineth almost constantly because of the great Indian Ocean from whence the Sun with his mighty heat draweth great store of moisture The winds upon mighty high mountains which are not adjacent to the Sea do vary according to the point of the Compass the Sun is in any hour of the day The Sun in the Meridian and upon the direct South of the airy Alpes the wind at that hour upon Mount Viso one of the highest among the Alpes is quite contrary to the Sun blowing directly from the North. As for the Latitude of the Country the farther North as being more remote from the Sun the colder it is but the farther South the warmer it may snow in the High-lands of Scotland when it but raineth at London it may rain in a North mountainons Countrey when it is dry weather in great Champains and Southern plaines The Northern Countries of Denmark Norway Swedeland Russia and the North of Germany are for the most part frozen all Winter and then the exhalations and mists are close imprisoned therefore the aire is calm and clear and the starry lights glistering most beautifully They can walk upon the narrow Sound between Sweden and Danemark as upon dry land it is so strongly bridged with Ice In the Spring-time when the ice is chawed and Winter must go lodg among the Antipodes and the pleasant Spring and flowery Summer do enter the stage then the imprisoned exhalations do break out and fill the aire with warm fogs bringing a warmer Summer than islands have which lie farther South In the South-parts Egypt is dried up and hath little or no rain Judea seldom is rained upon in June and July the East-Indies hath great rains when the Sun is vertical through the Suns vehement heat upon the Indian Ocea CHAP. III. What may be prognosticated and how THere may be foreseen 1. The temper of the Air cold or hot infallibly 2. Calm and dry seasons 3. Wet weather as rains sleets mists snow hail 4. Thunders and Lightning 5. Winds 6. Cloudy dark aires 7. Comets and other fiery Meteors For the First of Heat and Colds The Conjunctions and Oppositions and other powerful Aspects of Saturn if he be not over-heated by mixture are cold The Conjunction and Opposition of Jupiter and Saturn are vehemently cold yet not always frosty Saturn and Venus bring Colds Snows Rains Hails consideratis considerandis The Sun and Saturn Mars and Saturn are clear and frosty and Mercury and Saturn are not warm remembring alwayes according to the fore-going Rules to consider the Latitude Scituation and Sign and Planet sympathizing with the Country The strength of the Aspect the Sign the Dignities of the Planets aspecting their Mixtures Transits the Seasons and general Causes A Planet proceeding from the Aspect of Jupiter to the Aspect of Saturn or Venus Saturnized is cold For Heats the applications of firy or warm Planets if they be not double damped with cold mixtures Thus the Conjunctions of Mercury with the Sun Mars or Jupiter are hot So the powerful Aspects of Mars and Jupiter or Mars and the Sun So the Aspects of the Sun and Jupiter Or when cold Planets are deeply dyed with hot and firy mixtures Or the applications of Planets separating from Saturn or Venus mixed with Saturn or Jupiter Hence you may know whether proves mild or rigid If the Planets go from Saturn immediately to Jupiter the Winter is mild if they go from Jupiter immediatly to Saturn it proves a cold Winter In this particular of Heat and Cold the new Aspects of Kepler do take place and do bring a sensible alteration of the air For the Second calm and temperate weather When there is no Aspect or no powerful Transit for some season or when the Aspect is weak and mean or when the Aspect is in Earthy Signs chiefly the Aspects of Jupiter and Venus or when the Planets are well mixed with a dry Jupiter Look also is Saturn be in an earthy or fiery Sign except the Goat Cold and dry Aspects in Summer do give frosty nights but clear and pleasant days Total Eclipses of the Sun in the Ram Lion or Earthy Signs and also Comets do prenote a dry season For the Third thing namely wet weather may be fore-seen by strong Aspects of the Planets with Venus or with any Planet well
tinged with Venus Saturn and Venus Snows Rain Hail the Sun and Venus Rains or Snow considering the mixtures and the Seasons Mercury and Venus many showers intermixed with Sun-shines Mercury and Saturn or Mars a little tinged with Venus do give us fogs Mars or the Sun looking upon Saturu well tinged with Venus are moist Jupiter also well heated with mixtures strongly aspecting Venus doth give us rains in Summer and Snows in Winter Jupiter also in a watery Sign aspected of Saturn or coming to the Transit of Saturn in a watery Sign is moist So Mars in the Crab aspecting Venus in the Ram. Likewise fiery Planets when they thunder do give us rains but if they have a dry tincture we have thunder without rains or lightning without thunder If they have a tincture of Saturn and Venus and do thunder they do also hail which also is the Fourth thing here considerable For the Fifth thing namely Winds it is a little difficult but much more difficult to foretel from whence they shall blow Yet observe the Airy Triplicity to be windy and Westerly So Saturn in the Skinker an airy Sign transiting the place of Jupiter when Saturn in the Lion did oppose him as also in a Trine of Jupiter in the Twins another aery Sign as in the year 1660. can testifie in which the wind did blow almost constantly from the West The winds are commonly laid upon Mercury it is true Mercury coming from Jupiter to Saturn or a Planet well tinged with Saturn maketh way for winds Jupiter and Saturn are two great Planets of contrary natures and so do many times meet with a tumult Saturn in the Lion opposing Jupiter in the Skinker do at first stir up South-West winds and afterwards a cold quiet aire But immediatly after that Opposition the Sun also came to be opposed by Saturn and presently after united to Jupiter yet did raise no winds because there was small contrariety at that meeting two warm Planets both being alike Saturnized For the place from whence the winds do blow Aery Signs are Westerly as is said already They say commonly that Jupiter is for North winds which is false except it be upon cold mixtures for North winds are cold Jupiter is warm in this Iland of Britain though Westerly winds do not always and in a dry year do scarce rain at all yet they have a moisture in them because they come from the Western Ocean Easterly winds of their own nature are more dry because they come from the dry land whose great Continent lyeth to the East of Britain South winds for the most part are warm because they blow from the warm parts of the World North-winds are cold blowing from the perpetual Snows of Greenland and Moscovia Hence Jupiter being hot and moist is for South-west winds according to reason and experience too Venus is cold and moist therefore of her own nature she is for North-west great mixtures may alter their natures The Sun is hot and dry therefore South East so is Mars Saturn is cold and dry therefore North In Fiery Signs he is Easterly Mercury and the Moon are for all quarters Remember the winds proper to the Country and Anniversary winds For the Sixth viz. cloudy and dark airs Every day when there is a great Aspect formed is commonly cloudy and the rather if it do encline to rain When there be many great Aspects one immediately after another though they be dry yet is it a cloudy time For the Seventh Oftentimes about the great Conjunctions or Oppositions there is some such thing as Comets as the years 1652 1664 1665 can witness after the great Conjunction in the Archer we had three Comets And when Saturn transits the place of Jupiter which he had in the great Opposition if the Opposition be lofty When Saturn came to Jupiters place in the Skinker then did appear a Comet in Virginia in the Fishes in the which Sign the next great Opposition is to be celebrated SOLI DEO VNITRINO GLORIA A New Table shewing exactly the Prime Epact Dominical Letter and Leap-year c. for 20 years years Prime Epact Domin Let.
