A56139	An account of a portable barometer, with reasons and rules for the use of it how to weigh the air, measure its height, and foretell all the alteration of weather, the constitution of the atmosphere, and how the effluvia keep off the airs gravitation : with a new account and experiments, how rain, snow, winds, frost, thunder, lightning, hurricans and tornados are produced, and an inquiry, whether the planetary beams or influence can cause an alteration of weather, to be foretold by them : with a sensible demonstration of their influences and the insufficiency of all hygroscopes, thermometers, and other inventions, to discover the alterations of weather by : and lastly, rules and experiments for the certain knowledge of all the alterations of weather, both in quantity and quality / by Gust. Parker, Med.	Parker, Gustavus.	1699 (1699)	Wing P391; ESTC R1399	37,634	125

it_o come_v and_o so_o confirm_v it_o and_o as_o these_o people_n say_v it_o be_v only_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o moon_n so_o neither_o can_v we_o suppose_v it_o shall_v be_v any_o thing_n else_o for_o it_o shall_v proceed_v from_o the_o wind_n or_o cold_a damp_n than_o it_o may_v be_v as_o well_o when_o the_o moon_n do_v not_o shine_v upon_o they_o or_o in_o some_o other_o part_n than_o those_o on_o which_o it_o do_v shine_v which_o be_v not_o know_v and_o when_o they_o do_v take_v up_o their_o lodging_n in_o the_o open_a air_n we_o can_v suppose_v neither_o that_o the_o wind_n shall_v be_v
