AFT E R Your Majefties Miraculous Accefs to
the Imperial Crown of thcfe Realms, in Peace
and Awful Silence; After your Glorious En-
deavours to Illuftrate your Crown and King-
dom, and make the Englijh NAME Legible to all our
Gazing Friends and Neighbour Nations; it needs an Apt>
logy to interrupt your Great Tendencies and Defigns with
a Piece of Paper-Skill, of any pretended Treatifes of Sci-
ence. But Great SIR, our Argument is as High as the
Outward Courts of Heaven, and Noble withal, fince the
Greateft Princes Coats of Arms are emblazoned by our
Planets. Thefe Papers, like your Majefties Royal Mind,
are not confin'd within the Limits of the Britamicl^Shoie;
but tolhew their Ufefulnefs, they arc bound for the Eafi,
for the (Vtjl, for the South, and for the Frozen Sea,
They aim at the account of a Fair Wind, and a Storm,
aThundringTempeft, and a Reliftlefs Hurricane, and
this, all the World over. They inquire into the Nature ■
of Vulcams, Flaming Mountains, which being accompa-

nyed often with Eanhquakes, are as fo many Sea-Marks,
to warn the Mariner that he comes not Aftiore. So the Sub-
jeft may not be Unworthy of your Majeflies Able Com-
manders, that they may bring and re-bring their Cargo's
fafe to their defired Porr. Specially fince we adventure to
fearch the Nature of Currents at Sea, that they may be
no longer Impediments unaccounted for; When the delu-
ded yelfcl lhall find ihe's flolen back fo many Leagues of
her Voyage, maugre a ftilf Gale at her Stem. What tends
to Navigation, leads to Empire, orto Fameatleaft, and
Remark; in cafe your Undaunted RoyalSpirit lhall be con-
tent with the Hereditary Dominions of your Crown. This
I refledt on with Comfort, that this Eflay, I cannot fay,
bask'd in the Sunlhine; but, when time was, it had the
Glorious Fate to be enlivened by a Glance at leaft of your
Koyal Brother of moft happpy Memory. Nor can I
be diffident of your Majellies Sweemefs and good Liking)
when according to my Low Station, under, and with
your Royal Scepter, I aim at the Publick Good, Praying
the God of Heaven, whom you Religioufly and Devout-
ly Worlhip, to impart the Bleflings of Heaven, the
Bleflings of Earth, and the Bleflings of the Deep on
your State and Dignity Temporal, and after a Long and
Happy Reign amongft your Loyal Subjects, who only
underftand the Bleflings of Monarchy, to re-Crown your
Royal Head, in the Temple not made with Hands, his
Eternal Kingdom. So Prayeth your Majellies moft
Humbly Devoted Subjedt, and Daily Orator,

with us on Shore, that the Knowledge isabffrufeand difficult, though neither fo
purea Contingent, but that it may befur'd to the Rules of Art.
9 34. Seeing Wind (that we may come to its Dejlmtion) is nothing elfe but
the motion of an Earthy dry Exhalation, and that moved not by Condcnladon, or
its ownGravity,biubyImpulfc from CeleftialHeat.
9 25. Some great Authors philofophizeotherwife, That Wind is made by Jwt-
rcfdliomnb a Condenfation fucceeding , the Aircondenfed tending downwards,
and acquiring its violence by the heights of its dcfcent. But i.wherefoever it hapneth
that there is fuch Condenfation, as in Cioods, Dews, Miffs, hade Air, Frofls, there
would bcalways fome fenle ol Winds ffirring • but many Clouds and hade days are
calm, yea nothing is more huilit oft times thanaFroff or Miff, or more ftill and
iilcnt than the Dew. 2. Winds are indifferent to all Scafons, Winter, Summer,
to all Weathers, to all hours of the Natural Day, none have their Ottietut'et from
it, not Sun -rife nor Sun-fet, Mid-day nor Mid-night ^ it owes not therefore its Exi-
ffencc toRarcfaffion and Condenfatiou, feeing all Hours, Seafons, arenot indiffe-
rent thereto • for in a Cloudy day^ what place is there for Rarcfatlion i In a bright
hot Summers day, what conden let h ? 3. Here let the Etefuw fpeak: hath not
benign Nature provided that rcfrellung Air for the ^ffival heat? and doihnot it
rifeatpinthe morning,when the Heat incrcafeth* and ceafe again at4in che£ven?
4, Whatlbever may be faid in Spring and Autumn, for the viciffitudes of Rareia-
iflion and Condenfation,how comes Winter, which even hath its denomination from
Wind, to be foiinquiet, when there are no fuch fenfible viciflltudes ? Nay, how doth
Windrifein Winter nights? It cannot be faid that the Night condenftth what the
Day hath rarefied; Alas! the Day was all benummed in Froff,andth^ windy Nights
often introdue'd a Thaw. How doth the colder Seafon farifie, how doxh the war-
mer Seafon conden fe ? 5. Upon this Hjpothefij the Wind would blow to, not
from the Points of the Compafs, andto many Points at once, fre.. coming from the
Sun as from the Centre 5 for the Air, even as Water, rifing up in 2 Conical tumorj
when rarefied, upon therecelsof the Sun^ while it <ondenfeth and recoveteth its
Gravity, muff needs fall indifierently from the z/erreA? to all parts of the Circumfe-
rence, where it is not hindred: i.e. to the Eaft, North, and South (at leaff,) itnot
totheWeff • butthe Wind blows noclevcralways at once, noris Confined in the
leaft, but tends indifferently from thcSun3aiid to the Sun, and on each fide of the
Sun through all the Points of the Compafs.
S* 3d. Again, Condenfation can give no account of the Winds violence, no not
ihethoufandtltparcofits rage and fury, as when it is known to rift up Trees,
demoliih Buildings: for admit the defcenc of Air to be as forcible as rbc defcent
of Water , though there is fome difference fure , efpecially if Air be rarer
than the Water by a 1000 degrees; yen his will notprevail, for in Noah's Floud
itfclf, the Cataraffs of Heaven did not beat down the Trecs^ as appears by the
Story.

$ 37. *115 laid, that all Heavy Bodies, the further they defcend, the more vio-
lence they acquire; this is true in Bodies that have their fixed Dofe of complete
Gravitydifproportioned to the as in Stones, Metal?, ct'c. and this by vir-
tue of their Generation j but in Condenfation'lis otherwife, the Body is not con-
denied at an inliant, all at once» but at leifure, and by gnchul alteration. Piopar-
tional thereto muff the Gravitation be, and as the body condenfeth, fo mull ic liib-
lidein the lamemeafure, according as the Applications of the Caufes condeniing
are gradual; for as for infhntaneous Applications of fuch Caufes, it will be Im d
to afllgn any. Again, from whence fhould the condenfed Air defcend ? from the
lower Region? then we fliould be to feek for the Violence, the Term a being
foneer. If from the upper, the condenfed Air would find iisc>£^«*//irf«.w,asihe
Clouds do.
$ 38, Nor doth the Wind make Overture, that ft obferves the Laws of Gra-
vity . for then the latter end of the Blaft would be mofl vehement, as falliig from
the greatefl height, whilft its prodromi, the antcgrcdicnt part of the Exhalation
would give notice of the vchemency to bceXpeftedby its proportional degree ot
force; and men, whofe intercft it is to obferve, would be able to pronounce the
minute of its Approach. But we find it not fo: a Fret of Wind is often quick and
fudden, and gives no notice of any fuch Fear. Truly neither is ihe Hurry of the
Wind accountable by Gravity or Dcnfity, the motion whereof is fo arbitrary, fo
voluntary , lb indefinite, Here , there , every where, right forward, round,
upward, with fuch Aops and paufes, and interruptions of the Spirit, fhrting again
of a fudden into frelh tumults and riot,unkfswe can find fuch infinite variety of
Rarcfiers and Condenfers, and that as thc^ff/^e/Ldefincs it, from the Sun alone.
W hat iffomctimes Wind,howeverit may gravitate,defcendcth not,bur afcendsrather
from the Horizon towar d the Meridian f and of this even the Boyes Paper-Kite is
fomcevidence, which feels great impulfcsofwind upward when in the height, while
the Attendants below being becalmed, almofi wonder at the difference.
$39. Wind therefore is caufed by Impulfe, and the Impulfe of an Exhalaiion
diflinguilhed from the Air, as the common Opinion rightly fetsit, the Contents of
the Air being diflingailh'd from the Continent: and 'tis a noble Argument
of Jrewiw/s, thatis drawn from the Affinity wich the ventiprocelloji, thofe impe-
tuous All-wafting Whirlwindsand Hurracans, which have the invincible force of
Lightning in them , and the the lame, inftanianeous, not bearing down
ihingsbeforc it(as Flouds do Bridges) by perpetual preffure, but all at once.
Now Lightning is an Exhalation toocdiflinguidi'd from the Air, even as Lighr,
or Heat,or Odour, or Moiflure nor can the Air be defin'd a Colluviei, or Miicel-
lany of all, but mult be defin'd, prcfcinding from all Admiftions that are extraneous
ro it. And me thinks our Ear tells us asmuch, for fo like a Showrc doth this Exha-
lation drive on the Icavesof Trees, that we often fulpeA it rains, when it blows on-
ly. Wind beingno quantity of continued Air, no more than a Showrc is of conti-
nued Water.
$ 40. This Exhalation is moll part Terreftrial; for not to urge the Height
of fuch. Mountains, as reach beyond all Territory of Wind, by being 10 remote from
the Vale, Eremond from -Acojlo asks whence Winds are more vehement on or necr
Shore, unlcfs becaufc of the plenty of fuch Earthy Exhalations, and theftrongcr
Reflexions of the HcatCcleflial, agitating (the dircA Ray being atnohandex-
cluded) thofe dry E$hvu, But fecondly we argue thus. Wind is a Dryer, even as
Froft a Cooler, Dryer, a Whitener, to this the Laundrefs will bear witnefs. As fate
then as FfoflisaTerreUrialExhalarfoii,lb fureis Wind. Hence the more the Wind
blows in the Night, the lefs is the Dew.
$ 41. And Wind,is generated in the Macrocofra, as in the Microcofm t what
caufeth Wind in the Stomach or Inteftincs, but a crude Spirit raifed from the relb-
lution of the Alimtnt, driven up and down by the vital Heat i what Meats ate ge-

^ drop of water falling into-a Crufe of melted Metal , difperfes it about the

no Antipathy explicated, without fuch Fspulfive faculty, or, which is all one, fug*
contfarii.
$ 43. Hence Winds which accompany the Reverfe of the Sea, blowing from
the Weft, fuch as we arc raughc are found in Latitude 43, if they haveno dependance
on the Heavcns(on which all other Blaftsare confed'ed to depend) but on the Stream,
are legitimate no more than the wind of a Cannon-ball, or the i^/WGale,©!
the Rcvetfe of the "Water is a legitimate Tide.
$ 44. Thefbur Cardinal Winds are thus defined j the Eaft an3Wcff blow
from certain oppofite Points or Arches of the Equinox, the North and South not
from their Poles,but from the oppolite points o ihe Meridian.
S> 4J, The properties of the lour Cardinal Winds cannot be univerfaily Rated ;

rence, hereafter tobe confider'd, joy n'd with the Situation of the Place, together
with the Pitts adjacent, and the manifold Differences there allo to be alledged. By

Acojha tells us^ that in the Plains,-ten Leagues bredth from the Sea coalt, it never
Rains nor Thunders 5 upon the Sier///and Andes, two ridges of Hills, at jo
Leagues diffancej running parallel to each other, it rains fuflicienrly, on the firli
from September to April, on the latter aim oft continually. But nearer home, the

mouth of his Holy Prophet, that He gathers the Waters from the Sea, and poureth
them on the face of the Earth.

comes probable, that the Mines of and Vermilion contribute alfo at leaf! to

$ 15, Thcdifficrenceof thcHi/U and Ki/e isas confpicuous; the Hill contri-
buting more Cold than the Vale, ycilding therefore for the moft part a later Her-
bage. In the Mountains of Bohemia, the Corn at S. 'james tide was blowing,when
in the Plains of Lufatia it was ready for Harvcfl, faith our conllant Kepler. Here
note,that in refpeft of the Heaven, Lufatia lies the more Northward of the two:
therefore the DiHiercncearifcs from the dilformity ofthe parts of the Earth amongft
ihcmfelvcs, of Haul tor Bate. How cold the Tops ofthe are is not unknown,
of whom 'tis noted, that the Snow melts firft at ihefoot of the Hill.
$ 14. In obfervation of Weather, the Hill many rimes puts bounds and limits
totficmoifiureofihc Vale, inftancfe of This I havehadthehap to obferve, what I
have alfo heard,from the CTuTrerrt Hills in the County of Bucks, feparating That
from its Neighbour whofc Dull hath been fcarcc laid above, while O.v-
fordlhire below hath been glutted with Wet.
$ iv. That thefc Conliderations exclude not the Heavens, even from hence is
roanifcll^ bccaufe this Divcrlity of Habit or Pronenefs thgrero isbottom'd on the
diff'crenccof the Influence Ccleftial, and its Reflexion. For if the Solar Heat be of
any Concern in this Affair, the and of the Ray, by which the
Heat is multiplied and advanced,are not tobl- overlook'd. See the Ajlrenmia Optics
for this matter, if the common Burning-glafs be not Evidence fufficicnt. The Vale
reflets and rcfrafls the Beams, being the grolfer Air ^ the Head of the Mountain
(Tor the Dcfcent is reckoned into the Vale) rcflcfts lefs, being Drier and Purer. Thui
the Pendle i n Lanca/iire, a high Hill, which when a Cloud lits neer the Top, always
gives a fiirc Watch-word for Wet approachingj as Camden alfo takes notice, is ac-
counted for j the Hill, not as the Natives will have it in their falfe Hjpithefs, brea-
king the Cloud, but rather ripening it.
$ 16. This difpoliiion of the Air to Wct,c^c, is yet more evident,where there
is a concurrence of tne Prcmifes: as where a Place happens to be lituate neer a Hill
together with a River. The Acrocerauniiire neer the Sea, the Sierra Leena not far
from the Ocean. Heidelberg and Triers have Rivers and Hills for their Neighbours,
the former being hemm'd in round, as they lay, with Hils, only on one lidc open.
§ 17. This Obfervation begets another concerning the Windsf audits Diffor-
mity in rcfpcil ofthe Point of the Corapafs from whence it blows. In fcveral parts
0 f the world, from Sea-Journals I have obferved the contrary Points polfcfi'd. For in
the year 1661, Apr. 9, in England the Wind was found Southwell, and at Aiadtrs
North-Eall. In the year j 66)i, May 1, the Wind at London Northerly, under the
Equator then was noted a Southern Bhft. D MS*

call it, ill the Mold of the Place; yet we find fevcral Dayes, wherein Lightning and
Thunder have ndt bctn confined to one Quarter; fevcral dayes wherein Fog,though
itchodfes to ncftlc in a by-Vale, yet foraetimes itfprcads it felt like Egypt's Dark-

Fog for Inftance happens not in fevcral Quarters, there is fomething cognate to it, 2
little Froft perhaps, or thin Ovcrcaft. Where Thunder is nor heard, as in other
places, there may be foundfbultty Air, angry Clouds, fometimes fiery Trajeflions,

The Sun, the great l.tghtfujlly admired. Noervithjlanding alone He is not
the ahfolt/te caitfe of Heat^ no not of the Seafons of the Tear, or the Con-
Jlitution of the hay, chance excluded, odw Objetfion folved,
$ 1. ""T^His is enough for Demonftration of the Fixed Returns of the Weather,'
X and tliofe Returns fathcr'd on the Heavens, by reafon and confent univer-
fal. Now in the Heavens what butthc SUN can produce thefe Effefts in their
refpedfive Periods ? ihcSnn being fo r^«/4r aMovcr, that fome have fcrupled to
call him a Planet.
$ And who goes to debar the &W of his due? let not us that contemplate
the Heavens be guilty of it. Let Theologic it fclf teach us, thai the Sun is a great
Aftnifter, the Light and Life of the World } without it no difference of Clime, or
Seafow, no Spring, no Summer, no Autumn j All Time would be Winter, Horrid
Winter; the Sea a Mountain of/re, the Land a Flint, and Darfyefs would ufurp
his old Dominion over both. But fare God hath, amongft thoufand ofotber Stars,
made the Sun appear, and commanded him to run an eternal Race in his great Oljm~
piques. This ComraifTIon,as if confcious of the Infinite God, he jollily executes,
and Nothing in the Univerfc is hid from His Heat. At his Rife the Morning-
Cloud vanilhes, the Fog diffolves, and the Dew gently exhales. Toward Mid-day
he brighteth the Air into a chearful Saphir, and guildeth the Borders of the very
Clouds with a coflly limbm. All the Eatth basheth in his Light, while the Clap is
calcin'd by his Heat. When he pleafeth, he imprinteth his Face on the Rofcid Cloud,
and decircinates the with his Pencil. He draweth the Waters as through an
Alembickj and gageth the Depth with his Beam. The Current of the Seas obferve
his Tekujha's, and flock All to the place of hisRejidence. Where he lyepeth Court
is the grcateft tonflux, the Stream makes hall to kjfs his feet. He raifeth Thunders
in his vertical llrength , and gives fre to the Priming of his Clouds. He raifctli a
gentle Brife\nthtZF.JiivallAQrr\,znAfanneth the Husbandman in the cool of the
Evening. When he mounteth htbanifbeth the Froll, and coafineth it, as by the power

Lullrcdazlesus)Hay,ihatihe 5Kn 4/o«, this Glorious Creature, cannot be the
Caufej the entire Caufe of the Changes of the Air, and its Vici/Titudes.
§ 4. Becaufe the Sun, confider'd alone, All things rightly weighed, requires
thofe of his Fellow-Celeftials to conllitute e?en the Seafons ofthe Year. TheSeafons
differ one from the other in length of Day, or proportion of Light, and the propor-
tion of the Warmth • the Sun alone is the Author of the firft, not of the Latter.
Heisconfefs'da Light All-fufficieat, but that it muff therefbrt bca Heat All.fuffi-
cicnt, is no tvarrant. A Taper lights the Room, which will not warm it: for that
thcSuti carries the Name of Warmth, That argues that he h indeed the Principal^
moll Eminem, not the/fl/e D/Tpenrer: So the Gen era I carries the Glory ofthe
Battel, who is far from being the Sole, though he be the Principal Souldier. Accor-
ding to the tenor of which words mull our piece of a Hymn, on His, or rather his
Creator's praife be ert pounded.
§ The truth of this will be clear, when we have conlidered that the Sun's ap-
proach and Exaltation encourageth the warmth of the Spring, and keeps up tnc
height of Heat in SummerTbeing the Eminent Caufe of Both. But yet neither Dayes
nor Months do always incrcafein, of Hand, or remit their vvatmthin proportion to
the Solar acctfsor recefs from the So'ftice. This hath been urged by others, and
may bcinflanccd fourty wayes. It is notorious, that the ^Effival heat even incrcafeth
as the Sun declines • for the Month of/«//, and part of ^«f«/?are ufnally more
foultry than ihe Solllitia! month of June.
$ 6. Here it is an fwer'd with one accord, that the ffMfr of receives their
intenfer degree from themeafnre of thewarmth ; but this we have pre-
cluded be lore, and add, that the Heats ol ^//have been found as menfe) when the
precedent Juitehuh been contrary afferted - every man's memory being able to
prompt an Inllanceofan ^pril, Maj, orbeyondcxpeftationff/d,upon which
the common cqmFon hath been from hopes, that/Wf and Angufi would make
amends. Befides, that this holds not in alone; the end of March may have
mre warmth thin April, and April than MaJ\ November warmer than Ofider :
as again, Jarutar) colder than TUcmher, Mar A than Fehrnurj: we may hereafter
name fomc Times when it proves generally fo, therefore the Sun is not the lolc Ad-
rainiHrator ofCeleflial warmth.
$ 7. It maybe laid again (as it Is by forae great men) in things of this Nature,
that they are Cafual. But the word f Chance'] in Caufcs Natpral, and detciminate,
fpeaks our ignorance, and it may bcforacthing of Injury to the Creator. But 2. a
hot jW/is never cafual, being intended fo by God's ordinary Providence, for Har-
vefl fake, That great Providence which workes by the Great Machine of Second
Caufcs. 3. Nothing that is Prognofticable can ht Cafual'
$ S, Again, if the Sun alone were the caufe, every year would bring a-
bout the fame Revolution of Winds and Weather, the Sun being then exa^Hy rello-
red to the fame place by the intercalary day inteCpofed : but no fuch Revolutiott
appears. 1 find Fwfovw of old gave out indeed to this purpofe, PUn. ll. 47, but
no Experience confirm'd it from his time to Pliny's age; he was only fond of his
ownSurmife. Jfic had been fo, we had been weatheraWife by this timc» without
outconfultingSi3r,or Kalendar.
$ 9. Conlidering what is behind, it will not be very needful to fay more here:
only to take away all Scruple, I would anfwera polliblc Objcdion.
The Rtturns ofthe Weather being f'Xed^ and determined^ 'tis rcafonablcas you

Sun , and nothing elfe, is the Deitrminate Caufc, (for what elfe confutes the Return
to the ftme Day ? ) therefore it muft be the Entire and Adequate Canfc.
The Anfwer is ready : if all the Stars in the Firmament Ihould confpire with the
Sun into one Tempcft, they could choofe no time, but what the Sun, the Lord of
Time, Ihould deiermine. It followcih not therefore, that if the Sun be the Deter
minative Caufe he is the Adzquate, the Sun bearing two places, Phjfical, and C hw-
no logic.11; in ihefirft he helps to produce, in the fecond he circumllamiates the
Produdlion. But if the Identity of the Day's conrtituiion be prefs'd, we anfwer,
that the Sun dtttrmineth That, not abfe/utelj^nd entirely, for then the Return would
be infallible, but on fuppofition of the other Caufe s meeting: thefe Concaufes met do
determine the EfFtft,asit were Materially, the .tort doling with them fpecifesthe
time. Thus Difputersfjy the lalt Vnitj is the form of Number, a principal Caufe,
but not an Adaqnate.

$25. Kay therefore, toward the Enudeation of the Queftion, Firjt, that the
Planets, in Number vi 1, arc more than numerically different; That very Diffe-
rence with a raodeft Difputer, isaptio perfwade there is a inference \nNature.

Secret lies in it: 'tis fo coniiderable, lb deliberate a work of the raoft High Creator,
that 1 think from hence alone a man may boldly pronounccj that it is not indifferent
to the of the World's Well-beingj whereabout the vnPlanetsare fituaie.
This,as realbnable as it is, will be more ftrongly infbrced from the Doftrin: of the
Perigee, &c ,
$ 17. Thirdly, lincc the Difference of their Colour arifeth not from the Me-
dium, but from the difference of the Spirit, (as in Camphire and Brim/lone inflamed,
the Flames wear feveral Colours.) This rauft argue forae D/ferewe oiConfifience:
linccinferenjtyof Air, in all Cliraesj the Moon hath herlullre,^ his
fiery beam, and F? his dimmer glare.
9 iS. We do not delire to imagine, that the Planets are ought but Reflexions ',
yet we fay wichall that fo Vaft Bodies receiving the Ray which they Return, may
beof fuch feveral Confijiences, and different Fabricks, that there may be found a«
much variety in them as in other Reflexives, i.e. Plain, Convex ot Concave Ghfos,
erf" Which theone will generate Flame, and the other are too weak for fuch Gene-
radon. Thus the Tiles and Lead on the Houfe.top, by reafon of their conliffence,
while they refleR the Sun-beams, conceive fuch Heal, as is nut to be endured by the
Palm of the Hand.
$ 29. Fourthly, we fay that thoughthertbe two Conifariciics to be inquired
into, firft of Hot and Cold, then of Moifi and Dry, Oars will be but only after the
Firff Contrariety, in as much1 as the Second is'an Affix, and an Appendage to the
Firff. Becaufe it will be very cade 16 fay, from what hath been faid before,that eve-
ry Planet as it partakes of Warmth, is thereby apt to. produce } whence
the Sun it felf being Hot, mull allb be defin'd to be moifi • for though the Sun driech
up the Moiftorc fillen, yettbc: lame Warmth firff attraftcd the Vapor, and the Va-
pbr fo at traded, wither little help from the Contrary Ouality, (of which we have
faid we cahnot be always fenfiblp thdp. 2. $ 9.) condenfeth it into a Drop: fothe o

contribute tothe attraction of it.
$ 30. 'JDrj, in refpeCljto the. Earth, the Sun may be called 5 but in refpcft of

wherefore though Ptolemj hath put only into the Sun's definition, he cannot
oppofe this which is laid of Moiftore.
$31. And thus the reft of the Planets alfo, J 2 V, if they prove to be Tvarm,
by the fame reafon muft be admitted to be thrift alfo, in our fenfe, though Ptolemy
I fee fcarce mentions Moifture foran Effeft even of cf himfeif, in the Chapterabove
quoted.
$31. To proceed then, no Planet can be (aid to be Drj, j. e. a caufer of Dryth,
but what i? a Favourer of Co/tf j in asrauchasif Warmth be thcpW«twof Moi.

nuing the fatter vapour, by the imraifnon of a cruder Atorac.
^ 3 j. 1 hence it fojlows much to our purpofe, that Cold rauft be the Parent of
.frrr/nVj, which is biicBy proved by this; that the Cold Spirit is more pellucid
than the more opacousand unftuous vapour, which it diftipatcth.
$ 34. Since then weare buund .to inquire into the firft Contrariety of Heat
and Cold, that from thence wc may find out their due Complications with Moi-
fture and Dryth, we fay
that the Sun is a warm Body, and that of the fame kind with what is called
Elementary Warmth.

Demcritus,anA not very abfurdly, for the benumming operation of Cold,curioufly
attended, betrays not the pungencies of the Pframid, proper to Fire, but the Contu-
lion of a Cubical Figure, which is the figure afiigned to the Earth: but that Cold is
a Spirit may be proved, becaufefome Bodies enjoy acool Spirit, Vegetables, as
theRofe; Minend5,af the Nitre- andallInfrigidation istperformed by transfiir
lion of a Spirit, as Rooms are cool by Arcwing of Herbs, Flags, and Afpcrfionof
fwect Water, Vinegar, &c. Wines in- their Bottles are cooled by immcrfioninto
Waicr,the Water tranfmitting the Spirit fuddenly through the Velfel. This Spirit
is evident and awakened by the Motion : certainly if Heat be a Spirit, Cold is alfo
3 Spirit. and if the South-wind warms by the introduAion of the One, the North-
wind chills by the acceffion of the Other ; and fo much for the FirA, the Nature of
Cold.
§ 49. Forthe fecond, we deem that the Earth is rightly afligned for theprimnm
frigidnm, and this may be gathered from the very (ituation it obtains in the SyAem
ot the World,fie. the very Diftance from the Spheres of Heat, being as good as in
the Centre ofthc Sphere of the Fixed, even in £opermcM his Hjpotheps. For though
Cold be no Privation , yet'tis not altogether becoming the Order ofNaturc, chat
Oppolkes Hiould have an oppolite place, and be at local as well as at formal Di-
ibnee. God hath not placed Heat at one of the Poles, il he hadifure he had fixed
the Cold at the Poleoppolite. Givinghim therefore the liberty to place it in the
middeft of the Globe, the Frozen Zones muff quarter on each hdc, asfar difhnt as
they can, and that is tantamount to Diametrical. For as to the Subterranean Fifes,
by Natures great End placed in the Earth,they can put in no Caveat to our pretence,
feeing they cannot belong to the Nature of that Element, though therein con-
tained, no more than the Vegetable, or Animal Seeds that lie couth'd in the fame.
The fame is to be reckonodof Hot Earths,Limc,C^e. They conclude not i\\e Earth
of ks own Nature, indifferent to Cold or Heat, no more than Hot-waters artificially
rxtraftcd, or Her 5^^ for the Nature of the Water concludeany fuch indifferen-
cy. But thar Cold is an Spirit, whence lhall we more evidently conclude,
but from thcconfiftcnce pf kt ? let hath a ttntve Conliftence,therefore it depends
upon
 Chap. 9. Pritrmm Frigidiim-
upon a terrene Spirit. For fuch cognation is ihete between, the GGmliii£:nce,ajid the
Spirit aduating, that a man may fafcly conclude the one frora the other. The Ve-
getable Spirit is of the fame Mature with the Plane, the MctaUick Spirit with the
Mcral, the Futnid Spirit with the Odour, the Earthy Spirit with the Earth. We con-
firm this by confideration,. that all Petrification is by istrulio/i of a Terrene Spirit,
as in Wood, and other things, metjraorphos'd by pctrifytag Streams, Is confelled.
And what is Icej but Water petrifjed ? Add, chat ice btcomesifixed by IncraUitjon*
fo Cold fixes or Uanchcs Blond by incraiTating of the parrs. Hence the rtVd'S'piric
or Corpufdc dilating the Body, as in liquor congcledin Earthen Veflcls, burihthe
VeHel, and the Hand benummed with Cold is more fnola and.gowiy than in open
Weather. ,
§50. Further, Metals, or Minerals, which arc the coldefi Bodies, are of a
Confiftence£»»rr/>7,asSione, Lead, Iron,yea Quick-lilver, though a ilrange Bo-
dy, is the Colder, becaufe it is fodenfc: for we may fately allow an Earthy Spirit
in it, notwithftanding its Fltan-y as well as in other Metals, which at leaft when mel-
ted are fluid. So much h feems to have of Earth, that though it be fluid, we fee it

a Cretaceous colour.
S» j 1. Again, every Stupefgttive Spirit is Terrene, every CaWSpirit is Smpe-
faftivc. For what I pray is Stupefying, but Congeiittg I the Cold Spirit flancnes
Blood by Congelation. Thus Diofcoridti, fpeaking of all Earths ufed in Phylick,
faith they are Cold and Stupifying: aWNanoticks, tjnattrtw tdUy will be found
invefted with fuch a Spirit, the Hiftory ofthc7tf^e<ibirfelf, I believe
will prove it. Yea the Greatcft Obfervcrs, that have been curious in this point, de-
clare, that as according to the common Prefumption, Heat tends Hptvardfo the Cold
hath a tendency diwnmrdy a Heavy Spirit j it fceras then to be Earthy.
§ 5 But whether this Spirit be Saline, or Nitrous, or of Qoick-lilver, is
none of our interell to define, 'tis Ibmcwhar too nice a difcourlero be lb particu-
lar. Saliney or NitrotUy are All Earthy, and, it may be, not fo much different.

their chill Emanation from above, but by the confequebt Attradlion of the Cold

defcended into the heart of it, to thofe that have not viewed the Fojfiles, the Mine-

are not nude only for Rrjiexion. but alfo for Modification of Light and Heat. And
Lighr, il there be any C<w>wrc Spirit in the Lucid Body , is apt to convey the
Radiation, as the paint edGlafs tranfmutesits Colour along with the Beam , that

pufdes, as if a Spirit were nothing elfe but the igneous Particle incrujled in the
Body} as if the Spirit Were Adive upon one account, and feeire.1 Cold
upon the other For Cold it fclf, at leaftincompaiifon of Heat, is but a dull and
flow Quality ; that it may be a gteatqueftion, whether fetting alide us Figure and
Gravity,it hath any/j«re Aftivtty of Influxot £manatmsoti]0 : for the Prefiure
it makes by reafon oHi, Gravity or Figure, is not AOivity of Emanation, fuch as
is found in Fire; This it owes to Warmth perhaps. So that if God flioiild annihi-
late thcCcleftial Warmth, there would be no Elevation, or Emanation of a Old
Spirit, all would link and lye flat upon the Surface of its Cold Earth, as in a mtft
unlivdy Chaos. Hence it may be, before God was plcafed to make the Light or
Hat CelefHal, i he Spirit of God iscxprelly faid to move on the Face of the Waters,
to keep them in their ferviceable (and therefore Natural) Fluidity, which othcrwife

of the Cold Spirit, as to raifeic from its Centre, and keep it up in (ufpenfe, as under

j 67. But again, the fame Agent that raifes that Exhalation, may, if it be in-
couraged, hurry, and drive the Cold jitome, and impart aAttivitj to it, as in
the generation of Hrfi/may be feen, and in all cold Winds, and efpecially on thofe
fignal times, when Frofi and /«is found on the ground, the ,Sky having been Clou-

would begin at the top only, when as in Velfels of Wood and Metal, the iide and

$ 60. Let us fee whether have no Hnergic in this matter. Surely if any

fider, that though the and be fubftantially thefirae Spirit, yet for Do-
ftrinesfake, tfp«cially being different Objeibof the Senfe, they mult be faid to
diSerHjecif, even as Air doth from Water, though in the molt probable opinion

Heaton which account it may be true to fay, that Light is the Author of fome
Action in Nature, which Heath not: for the Heat and Light diffrr wily in tenuity,
or rarity, anddenlity, the Seat of being neer the center of the Luminous
Sphere, while purer Light is neerer the circumference $ the Sphere of Illuiiiinaiion

low, notwithlhnding theof the Spirit, that if Meat be contrary to Cold,
Light muff alfo be deputed tothe fame Contrariety. Hence thereismade way for
a reconcilement to amity with the Cold Spirit, the Contrariety being removed.
§ 72. Now that Cold hath fuch amity and acquaintance with the Luminoiu
Spirit, I prove, becaufe Cold is an Aftive quality, jiftive by way of Emanation.
Thus in Stone-building, that Room is the cWw for the walls fake, the Emanation
from thence infrigidating rhc place: but if it be fo aftive, whence hath it this AcH-
vity ? we anfwer, from the univerfal Luminow Spirit implanted in it. 1 his i> con-
firm'dj becaufe Cold is not only 4^/z/e in it felfi according to its meafure, as Light
is, but it referables alfo the manner of the t^fthity. Doth Light caff it fclf into a
Sphere, Cold alfo hath its Sphere (its narrower Sphere indeed) of her Aftivity.
Place it in the Centre, and all Parts ihall feel its Influence, lb do all things imitate
or rather exprefs the motion of the Univerfal Spirit.

the good Houfwite gives no leave to broach her Liquor in the Night-Seafon. Add
that the fubtle roisture ot the Cold Spirit delights in the vhite Colour, Frott, Snow,
Ice, Hail, Nitre, Quick-filver; but Wfwrew/r partakes of the Light, by which (I
do not (ay 'tis vilible in dark, but) dilpoied to more vilibility than other obfeurer
pieces. Hence weanfwer an Objection, becaufe in the dark recedes of the Earth
no Light is perceptible. Pefp. The Spirit called Light or Heat, is Innominate of it
felf, is only termed Light in relation to the Co that we muft not conclude
the Non-Exiftence of the Spirit from the Non-apparence,becaufe more is required to
the one than to the other. We fee not the dancing Motes in the Air, but where the
Sun difcovers them, howfoever they frisk continually by us; no man by Night fees

fellion, that we do believe that the Reafon of the crude Light that appears in ^ to
lie-in the crude Spirir, placed there by Nature, which we are not forced to avow;
in the mean time fufliciently falving the indance from 9, which we jnake not equally
crude, by her vicinity to our Globe of the Earth, as alfo to the Sun. The belt of 11
is, that Both thefe ways of Explication are hugely reconcileable, feeing a Spirit
will fecretly pafs along with a Beam, yea with a Flame too. So the Sublunar Cold

the Lady of Moifiure, upon the lame twofoldrelpeft, viz. theT'epsrorhcrBeam,

fubftitute violence inflead of Nature , when we fay that the Cold Spirit may be

p >6. It might be time now to produce our evidence, that the Dubious
may be difpofcd to a further enquiry, if not aflent; In our Diary you (hall
fee we have allowed no lefs than three Dayes to the Afpeft, that we
might rtiore fccurely hedge in Obferva'tion.
S 17. 'Tis a perpetual accountof VII jracs-, for if the kind Reader will
admit the like forthe Oppofidon, Square, &c. to the Sun, wefhall not
burden our paper with the fame Afpedls repeated between Tt U t? and the
■), although a private Obferver may perhaps find them not unworthy his
confideraiion, they carrying their price in their Foreheads; efpecially thofe
from i? U S.
5> t8. In the Tables obferve that the Dayes are reckoned after the Civil
account, viz. from Midnight to Midnight, becaufe. Art mull apply it felf
to the Publick, fo that the Obferver muft not content himfelfwith the Day
Artificial only, but look throughtlie interval of the natural Day entire, fince
Nature, when wepoorMortalsarecompos'd toRefl, likeitsGreat Mafier,
neither Slum/'ers nor SleepsSince, if at any timelbever, be it the Dead of
the Night, a violent Tempeft hap to awaken tlje Neighbourhood, unforefeen,
the Science is fore to be indited of, I know not what,uncertainties, it beho-
veth therefore that Art on the other fide (liould be relieved by all the true
Affidavits of Showre or Wind, See. which may fleal in at that Interval,
wlierein the Major part of the World, buryed in their Beds, will be con-
cerned in cenfuring the Metliod when it fails, though unconcerned in its Ju-i
ilificadon ; when it hits.
S 19. Here it may bethought that three days lie too many for the purpofe
of pretended Art: Ihaveanfw-eredjNay,already, to fecure, (aid I, theef-
fe£l, which muft happen within fucb a Term, for if it falls beyond, the
Effedl may not be realbnably owned, of which prefently.
Si 20. Thofe who conlider but owe Day only, muft be asked, what if an
Afpeftby its very chofen time, falls out in the very Confine and Junflaire of
feveral Days, at, or about Midnight: Muft not this Afpedl and its pretended
Influencebeldng to more than oneofthofeDays fo united? A d, put cafe,
may laft four or five Hours, as by Eclipdcal Conjundlions, ismanifeft; in
fuch cafe the d may relate to thofe days, as a Tenement by its Situation
may belong to too Counties or Parifhes.
S 21. Once for all we muft fpeak out,and a proper Chapter it may make,
that AfpeBs Planetary challenge a greater duration, than four or five Hours
fpace, feeing the Bodies Planetary are capable of .mutual affediion at di-
ftance, not by Corporal only, when Indiftant, but by Virtual Contadl. In-
fiuence, like ofttimes mingling and blending together, when their
Fountains are diverfly fituated.
0 22. And if it be well remembred, this Pofiulate cannot be denyedby
thofe whoallow the .Influence to be Moderatrefs o£ the Tides which
fwelland rife one or.two days before and after the Afpedl, as Ptolomy from
and withExperiencehath taught. The fame Experience hath further taught
us to obferve the like or greater Interval of two days before and after, in
the Difiolntion of Frofts, as we (hall fee in the next Chapter.

( 25. Juftly therefore Aftrologers have taken up that famous DiviHon,
making Afpefts to be not Partil only, exaft to a Degree and Minute, but
PUtic alfo, with enlargement and latitude to more than one or two fuch
Degrees.
s> 14. All theDifficulty is concerning the trttift Terms and width of this
enlargement; To which the Ancient jfrds have made fhift to anfwer. For
all Afliology, welliallfee, liesupon it, that the Terms of the SunsCW,
as they call it; theOrbof its radiation h e comprifed in Piftem Degrees, the
Moons Orb in Taehit, for Saturn about iVi«r;Jove about An'mer lomewhac
more,' Mars, Venus, Mercury, about Bight, Summa Anglican. difiiA
la traS.i. Cap. y. And luch Anfwer upon my Word, proceeds front a
great experience, not ■vain and arbitrary, as in the mutual AfpoJb of the
other Planets will be noted, wherel hope to dearup the matter. Twelve
Degrees you fte, are afcribed to the J'sradiation. Well was I, when
llaw, fand it was long fir(t) that theAncients, the Arak of old,accorded to
my Method obferved in the Table: For if Xll Degrees mufi be allow-
ed to the D's Orb of Radiation, ante & retro, ( for fo they exprels them-
felves dillindUy ) iften a Triduum is necefTarily engaged in the Lunar Ta-
ble, in behalf of the }'s efficacy and its demonftration.
sS 25. Verily feme fuchSafx/o, or morethan this, muli be had on the account
df die New Aftefls, theSemilextile and Quincunx, two of which botdcron
the d,(like as Sextiles, Slvaniles and Jrinet, we know are double.) In be-
halfof which we may fay, thatitiseven pity tfo/r Aftefts are not drmtted
as well as any; (but no more) becaufe, then their Definitions woul de in a

at 3 Signs difiance, the Trine at 4, the JOuincunx at five Signs difiance, the
Oppofition laftly at 6. I confefs for older and memory fake 'tis pity itis
notlo. But let metellyou nnlefs the Semifextile on each lideantedr retro,
be reduced to the d, and the Quincunx likewife to the Oppofition, as their
Matrices, their Forts and Principals ^ the ConjunfPon as prefcinded from
this new Semifextile, forfboth, will be found the mofi infignificant AC
pcdl in the pack. I prove this from the IX yean of KeplmDiiry, where
I took the pains to aimmttheSemifextilesssdQuincunx., and the Iflue was
• of as frequent effefl, near the time when the 3 is about a wiik Sign's
difiance, as when near the the Hour of her ConjunSion. But no reaTon
in the Earth can begiyen why any Semifextile for Power or Dignity fhould
take place of his Miffrds, nor Phyfical I wis, nor Harmnical Nature it
felf will appear againfl fucn bold Innovators, who go to depreciate her seat
Inflrument, the Afpedi of the d, which by crying up Semifextiles, wtllbe
utterly evacuated as between two Interloper!, when as common Sence tells
us, that whatfoever little pittance may be afforded to fuch Pretenders, they
mutt at no hand be compared to their Chief, for as much as in all Union of
Activity the Forcdmnfl naturally, nnlefs by accident be more flrongand
EfeShe nearer the Perpendicular Line, then the Oblique. So that when
the ASruity of the Lunar Congrefs is rampant, the ReaTon is plain, that
Rarapancy canby no means be afcribed to the Vicinity of the Semifextile,
"but contrary the effeftuoufhels of the Semifextile, fecluding accidental ad-
vantages, mutt be refetredtather to that efficacy, which, illning moft vigo-
ronfly from the Perpendicular, is not yet ex tindi in the ObliqueLine. Sure-
ly the Obfirver (hall never find it worm while to obferve Lunar Semifextilcs
or Quincunxes, either prefcinding from their Principals: No body as yet
hath foundhimfelfobliged to do it. If wefind anyfuch thing in the other
PlauCtSiWe fhall not flifle it, but as K> the)'tis certainly a Frujlra ft per phera.

Conjundiions with oilier Planets, d, Ij ,&c. Therefore let no Man wonder if
I introduce S and 9 here, who are alwaies, 5 atjeaft, within two -'dejj
march of the Q, and confequently of the ) in her conjundfional Afpe^s,' Co
the Lunar i with S being (b near at hand to the Sun, helps to frrdrt the
Solar Conjundfion with a heightned Influence,which belongs inpart to him-
felf, and it would be filly to impute aneffcdi to an Upjtm Smifextile jjngU

douhlc Conjundfion, the one of the ) withe, the other of the ) with 9,

here, for 5 is not always contigum to the Lunar Body, but that, as in Mo-
rals lb in Naturals alfo, a Friend may, though at fome diflance, flep in and
help at a dead lift.
Hence I fairly defire it may be confidered, whether this s and 9, asthe
cafe ftands, may not be fubfervient to the Sun and ) in the fwelling of the
Tides, fometimes Wore, fometimes after the Change, as their pofition-hap-
pens. I am fure I found it Co, not only in the change of the D in Amfi 1S7S.
when 9 being a little behind the Sun, the > tranfiting 9 that Night, railed
the Tides above half a yard, but at feveral other times. Allobjedtionsto

fwered from the Premifeti that the Lunation helps to warm the Air, and by
Coofequence to the warmer Winds: The WeftahdSoUthj arefuch.
£ S9.The indetermination or Change of the Wind inthe fame Day is
notahle, in my Judgement, the Solution is eaiie; for the Change, Iniid,
makes from the cooler quarter to the wanner: Tis to be alcribed to die
Approach of the 3 towardthe Solar Body, which at diflante faf&tsu Nohtti
or Eaf! Wind to blow. But in the nearer application befriends the Air with
a Token of her Favour. The 3 faift in Motion, by reafon of which (he
was thought to have no great Influence, herein appears to be ftrvictableto
the Change of the Wind i which often alters, accofcKng-to the 3's appli-
cation, or recefs from the Sun, &c. So Fate will have it, that what is obje-
Hed to her prejudice, tends to her toftre in Demonftration of her Influence.

pening in the Angles {i. e.) the Oriental, Occidental,or Meridional, is wont
to bring Rain. But the Courfeof the } is the /uav in thole Angles as elfe-
where; and feeing Afpedls FUtique are alfo Opreative, what Conjundlion is
there that doth not vint thofe Angles at diftance more or lefs ? The' Fault
therefore lies in the Principles of thofe who difcern not, or overloolc„the
other Caufts, which are of the fecret Carzmtttee, as I may call it, where
this Afpedl feems to prefide.

difficulty Afirohcy malfereth.

to be no longer of i precarious Credit, or dcnyed their acceptation, becaufe
hitherto labouring under theill Afpeic ofa notion Aftrological, while F/ejii-

Let die Reader therefore raife his attentions toward Afpedls in general
comprehending not the Lunar only but the reft, all of which (land indidla-

above, is Comets, which we take to be of Kin to enflamed Meteors, or be-
low, as Earthquakes, and Inundations alfo, wich follow either Terapefts, or
Earthquakes: Let thofe Learned Men, who (hall write of either Comet, or
Earthquake, look back into Hiftory, and he fliall find Truth in the remark.
And lo, although more may be laid, we are willing to conclude the

leems not fo round, for the Full Moon brings Wind as foon as any Aiped Lu-
nar, at leafl under publique Notice, impute it to us who have fairly pleaded
that we could not always dwell on the Watch-Toaer, or note the Gulls and
Gales in the Night, feeing whatever they make , like Rifts or Furrows on
the Watrr,ihey leave no durable Imprelfion, but heal up without any breach.
Only where Wind is not exjirrjfed, it may fufficiently be utidirflood either by
the Change and Variety of the Winds,which yet we have not confidered in
our Mufier, of by the flying of the Clouds, which we thought fit to admit.
Add the moid Days, mod of them have their Gale, feeing every Shnm
faith the Seamen, hath its Winds, and Calm Rains are feldom, though Mills
and Fogs are often attended with fachStill Mnfaae.
i 7. Nor dill are we to forget our Dif-junShe,either one or the other,Rain
or Winds .• Conlulting the Table I find about 28 Winds without Rain; add
them to 172. the number of our Rain, the Sum is 200. which comes within
profpefl of 261. the Number of every Day in the Tablev
P 8. And let no Man fay, H fat day a there voitlmt Wind? For fuppofe
there were no Day without, neither is there any Day, almod, without Jme
AfyeB; there is not a Whiff but hath its iMf.olus, lome Afpeifl;or as good i
thing, Co hath Heaven provided for the Air, without which it would flog-
mte and be unwholfom, yea, Pellilential, as the Air of dofe Prilons and
Dungeons without Terfpirafm. We may thank God therefore for every
Flaver of Wind. But then neither hath every Day its Gale, that we may
be engaged to enquire thecaufe of the Difference, whyfome are L/ish,
and others dead Calms,though the Vulgar cannot be concern'd in fuch enquiry.
4 9. Not but that we have a Sence of High Lofty, more than Brisk
Winds, in number of days 86. in number of AfpeCfs 5 ;. Theformer Num-
ber exceeds the latter; becaufe many a time every Day of the Tridmu/i
proves windy. One thing I cannot but obferve, and tis the Concern of the
Table to remember it, that in the year of our Lord 1S75. Decanien^.
That very day was one of the two, when from Mount-Boy we heard [hat no
led than IX. Ships cad away, and yet the Table notes only a Dry Wind
without any Fury.

led to experience, if any (hall have patience to expeft, near his Chamber
Window, iffituate toward the South, while the ) makes her Tranfit, or if
in an ^(lival Night, with the help of an ordinary TerfyeBtvtj we nicely
mark the afle&on of our Eye, upon the Full )'s hrft Emerdon or Rife
the Eye, I fay, that living Themotrntrr, of mye guick perception than the
Inanimate,(hall perceive a fair gentle warm Imprelhon from its Beams.
#13. So little doth that Objedtion move us, which pleads thecontraty,
becaufe, forfooth, this Warmth is not perceived by the Dead Thermome-
ter. It will be laid, we know, that this feemirv warmth is perceivedby
Fancy, and not by any real fenfation ah extra. To which I lhall briefly lay
but this, rthat if our htention in that Experiment had been to explore die
Jjinar H armth at (bch times 1 Fancy, poflible, might have impofed upon us,
being carupted by the Will fo far , as to fay what Ihe would have. But
when our attempt was made only to difcem the quantity of the or
Figure of the j in her Perigee, at the injlant of her Rife, and unawares
beyond Expedlation, a perception of Warmth was found, the Imprejf/ion was
therefore not Imaginan,
#14, HereiftheCajeftionbeftarted, whether of the two is the warmer Af.
(eS, the Change or the fall ? That We do not perplex the State of the Queftion,
it only requires thus much, whether the Air be warmer at the Change, than
at the Full ? And the anfwer is, that the New } hath the preheminency.
for the Day (fpeaking of the Artificial Day) is warmer at the Change than
at the Faff, Geiierally: But the mght, again, is warmer at the lull, than at
the Change.'
51,15. Now let us'fee whether this agrees with our Tables? Itdoth. For
Lo we find more warm days in the Day of the New j, than at Ae Full:
38. intheFirft, but 32. in the Later. Yet, lead the Cnall difference may
not move us, letusfumtlie days of excels, and then under the Full finding
about 11. or 12. Under the New d we find 28. ThelRcafon is not lo
much on the ') s part be&re, as iscvident, becaufe of the A-verfim of its
Beams from us, wnlle the fill glares us in the Face, but becaufe the i in
her Change adts in eonjort with the Reft, which are Day-Birds for the moft
part, andare found more frequent and nnm?rous in the Diurnal Horizon,
than in the NoSarnal.
« 16. So for the Nights the Table accords, for (nrveying the Sum of Cold
Nights in the New').'! find amounts to 55. but viewing the Nights at the
Full, I find but 48. which difference if it ieem not wide enough, it may be
made wider, byconfidering that even the Frofts of the Full, arelels ablb-
lute.than tho feof theNew,with abatement and limitation of/owr Frofl,which
occurs more frequently in the Full. To (ay nothing of the Snow, which
appearingalfo majl frequently at the Full, argues fome Lenity in the Beams.
Take one obfervation tnorAthe Cold Nights at the Change run higher in
the Year than the Cold Nigntsat the fidd For Anno 1676. at the New j
in April I find a Frofty Night, crufting the Water with lee: But it will be
hard I beleive, to find /ff in an April Night at a Fall 1. The like I may
lay of frajiy Mornings in the Month of May, 1 find One in the New, but
Alone \n the Full.
# 17. Tis Ibange you'l fay, that the Inter-Lunitm Ihould bring more
Warm Days thaouie Full, beanfe every body fees that it is theDarkSide
of the Half Luminary which is toned toward our Earth s all Shade is cool,
how the l by her Shady-fide Screens the Light and Heat fromns, and re-
verberates it upward. To this we fay,'tis true, that the d turns her Ilk-
fhimu Side from us, and therefore mult be CooL But how? Notabfolute:

an Anvil, and thereperculfed Heat is fufficient for all Operations Natural
to quicken and encourage them, as in the Lunar Hilfory appears: Yet we
are not driven to fay or believe that the i is pervious, efpecialiy as to
fenfible Heat; but we can folveall Operations of Nature depending on ner,
even while under the Inter-Lunium. by this, that the Ray, repcrcufled or
refleSed in the ptrpcnduulum is redouiten, and lo requital is made for theaver-
lion. Obferve, ih. that the i is much nearer to the Sun in the d, then
at the Diametral Oppofitions-the Full i is brighter than the New );,but
flie plays at a greater dijlance ffotq the Sun. In the New i (he lies between
the Sun and the Earth : In the Full, fire lies on the other fide of the Earth,
twice as far from the Suns fo hath the WiCJom of the Creator moderated
the U niverle and the parts thereof, that what they want in Length, ildl be
fupplyed in Breadth, as I may fay. If the Luminous (ide of the i had
loqk a toward us, as in the Full, the Heat would l^ve bin too near, Nature
would have.bin (corched with too great Annoyances inllead of Luminaries.
ThereforeintheNew, Godhathpiealed toreverfethe I, making her,as a
Skreen or Fan to it felf. In the Nigh t therefore when he hath removed-it R

cf our Mouth Jeems rearm to our Hand, when it lies near the Mouth, and cold
when removed atfurther diftance! Is uliially relblved thus: That the Hand ly-
ing near the Mouth, receives the Breath warm from the Lay av and the Ca-
vitysof the Mouth, butatfurtherdilfance the Breath ismixed with the coc-
Jer dmlient Air, and lb refrigerated therewith, which by Agitation feems the
Cooler. The fame folution applyed to our Lunar AlpeCts is not improper ;
The Dili 2 isat greater diftaicefrom the Sun than the Xete, and theretbre
her Rays are more engaged in the Csftl Vapours of the jitnmfphm, and upon
that Account mull give place to the New 2 as to theDay;Butif we compare
them in point of Warmth in theNight, though Ihe be at the fame diftance

if I miftake not, we have laid the Foundation to clear up the diflerence.
For Rain (Snow excluded) the new 2> brings-12;. the Full I brings you
150. Jigere, Here, how comes it to oafs, if the New i, as we pretend,
be warmer, (and Warmth is the caule of Moiliure,) that the Full Iheweth
faireft for Moiliure. Shall we anfwer on the grounds that we have laid,
that Warmth is but One Parent of Moiliure; there mud be another Parent
for the Birth, -viz. A competent tneafure of CoWnvhich Competence being
found in the Fall, rather than in the New, the rail J mud exceed in moi-
liure. j&cfrf the id. time, how comes it topals, if the New j, as we pre-
tend be warmer, and Warmth is the Caufe of Wind, that the Full 1
ilajiereth more man the New ? Anfwer as above, The Wind hath tao Pa-
rents, MivemdPaffiw, A competent degree of Cold the paffive Parent,
the Full 5 before its warmth being furnifhed with that Compotency,.
is Cruder and Windyer then the New.
? 21. And this is confirmed diffly fromtfc excelfes of Vwlent Rains,
Storms, Winds, which atxunel under the Full, rather than the New, be-
caufe where the Contraries chufe to meet, there will appear the greater
Hurry.
$ 23. Once mote then, Ami comes it to pad that the New i produceth
f«| more frequent than the Ftdl ? Say that the very Nature of af«j pro-
claims the abfence of the contrary, I mean the Gild. There is both
Warmth and Cold in the Conditution, but they are in remifs degrees, they
makea kind ofTepor, when qualities, though contrary, live in quiet poflef-
lion 3 upon thisgccount Fogs are feen for the mod part of a wamoijh, (lug-
gilh, calm confidency. Tis eafie without Violence to fpeak to the foeral
accounts of Snow ana Hail, which happen at the Full, twice as many times
as at the New; there is a manifed compolition of two repugnant qualities in
both thefe Meteors. As for the cold part which is feen in both, the luli,
Which is thecMlrr Afpedl, is proper for them.
? 23. I have bin further curious to compare the NoBurnalKism or Gufls
which have happened under the and theFidl/, refpedHvely, notatthe
Rifng and Setting, ffbr that calls for a peculiar remark,) but either lefore
Day, or at Night, or Midnight, yea, or the whole Nrght, and on.which

to juftifieit, nor will/he deny her fclf, though behind the Curtain, to have
bin then, and there, at the time and place. We find itRain'u or Ra-
ged in the Night 51 times, while the New i a/fords us but jq. which is
iome mtuhledlffmnct, though again for Raining, bkillering the whole Night,
the New 5 is not fo &routofreach, but/he can bring up her Tale equal
with the Full. It may be there is fome nnrjfity that the Moon, or fome other.
Planet Ihould be in the NoRurnal Hmifphm, when it blows or Rains Ute at
Night, or very early. Jf none of the three Suferiours be there, the i alon:
will fuffice, whereby you fee the Nature of the oppofite Afpedl: iugemre,
for to tell you before hand, the Planets mull be fimgly pojistd when ever it
Rains by Day or Night,without an Oppofiiion at large, Tis extraordinary.
9 24. But we mud by no means diflemble that there is another reafon
why theEi// 5 is a more violent Afpeifl than the New, which riuy arile
from hence, that /he comprehendeth by her radiation, (trjfr.v j though it be)
i greater Archof the Sphere Celellial, than the New i can 5 and fo by con-
lequence is apt to aftii more Celellial Bodies, being and Situate in that
gritter Portion. As the Eye doth not comprehenfively Ken a Mountain
(fcppo/e) when it is near it,but mull remove it felf to a dj(lance, for the view
of lb great an Objedt: The Fyramid of llhimnation, w hole tajis lies upon
the body that terminates the Ray, enlarges her balis fo much the more as
the llhmimr is remote. Now, if the influence be in lome part, as molt
certain it is, commenlurate to the Illumination. This, we conceive, mat be
the reafon of its Effedt enquired, into, provided we at no hand exclude the
other.
9 25. For when Aftronomy tells us to excellent purpofe, that the'} is in
her Apogee of the Eccentric or utmoll diltancefrom the Earth, both in i
and t?, it fweetly cloles with what ive have hitherto pretended to help to-
ward the Warmth of the New i, being fo much nearer to the Sun, as (lie is
more dillant; from che'Earth s as on thecontrary for the cooler Beam of the
Full J, being fo far the more remote.

and Ssadratego for Tantamount in the Meteorological part: We do non
dew the Role to have its truth, and the virtue of the Afpedf we have fouh-
deoArchittdf-like, on a Right Angle, fbrmedby the Rays of the two Lu-
minaries
 minaries fo related. 'Twas a pretty Pj thagark-finq to compare ffie Afpedls
of the CeMial'Bodys to the Svifms okdie Mujicd Chmd. So a Square
to be a Diaifffanu, as the d is an llnifi/i, and the <p a Vupafon. But this
made way for fuch a crowd of Iticroching Afpeds, (.fee K/fld- &S: dehimis
JfprB. in Ephexkyid. dmia ifity.i) that every Pretender would yearly drive
to put in a new One; till -Kydci-'mgenioully confclled," that Tnr.peftatts oiftr-

preceptible to feafe as the f ill 5 is. That, by the Plenary , Jhishy the
Half-Face illitthinated, vulgarly tbe Half i; and this Afpedtreturns twice
in the Month: Firft in the iucreafe or tendency to the Fknilanium; the.Se-
cond in the rtjww/f, tending to the hmlunhmi ■, as the half-way-Houth
upon the Rode Backward and Forward^
0 3. Now fince the d and and their Influence is undeniable, confelled
and granted us even by the Scruplers, who have no great klndnefs for. the
ProtWr/tAlbology, if remains that the Qiadrate alfo may produce its
Credentials, Her Letters Patentsligned by Experience, the-Miflris of Facul-
ties, whofeName and Seal will not be queltioned withiathe Territories of
Sound Phylolbphy.,
y 4. Therefore.for a double Afped we prelent more-than a (ingle Table,
that we might evince to the World, that we are of a;-^»/'(rif)i profemoii,
not afraid of any Witnelfe in Court againft us, fo that'the Jury be
honellly empanel'd. The Diary is the verdidof the .Coiiifffey. For bre-
vitiesfikel could have contented my (elf with the account of Ohemffly,
but that the Reader, I hope, may hereafter findibmc reafon to die contrary:
y y. It maybelaid, that wehave already produced onii-Jables for d and
tP in vain-, forwhatneed we trouble our -felves with the' proof of any
conclulioh which is granted ? to which we anfwer, we fear they are granted
us out of Charity, not as of Dehi; or for our importunity; as an,Alms is
thrown to a clamorous Beggar toftop the Matis Mouth; w ho defeyva not
the pittance, although more heexpedt. Not granted, I fiy, ^asourditeby
Virtueof our Evidence; becaufe our Evidence may be excepted againft, as
not Full and Home, by the Faftidious Dilfenter; we claim therefore! that
the Reader Serenely and Calmly will bepleafcd upon dueconflderation to ac-
cept, or favour our Evidence-, without which, for alt as,we know, tlmce
there is no other imaginable Proof,) he may recall his grant,.'and plead Non-
Convidion, even about the Influence o( the Change and Full. On the
contrary, if he allows our proceedings, and gives fentence lq-the d and te
upon theftrengthof what hath binalledged, we hope theiamc-Right will
prevail for this third Afpedt Smct theer-idence being produced to publifBie
view, ifitbealikeforoneasfortheother, All, or None muft beadmitted.
9 6. To the enfuing Tables we have allowed the latij Number of Days
as in the precedent A (pedts, viz. three Days to each: It niuli be confelled
in lb doing we may (eem to interfere with the Neighbour. Afoedis on out
hand, or the other, which appears to be fome iflconvenieEce 5 to which
We lay , FiftI,, we found it neceflary for the comparing of the Afpeds
among themfehps', which is intended at theclofe of this Luriar-Treatile, that
,they ihou Id be allowed all of iheai an equal Number. I .choughcittit once,
I confefs (to avoid this Coincidence) to produce but one or two days at hiod,
omitting tomeetmes the Firft, otherwniles the Third, according as rh,o(e
Days were found to be of a wider diftante from the Hoiir of the A(paS
Nay fometimejl omitted both the extreati) Days, namely, when theA(p£d
happened about Mid-day, reckoning 2q. Hours to be a Competent Meafili-e
ef us duration a Influence. But I found at lad one 24 Hours could not pof-
82 Infifteme of the Qva/tile hatb its Latitude. Book.L
fibly involve the total of the Influence, and another ^ay l^ing added, obli-
ged me to add the third alfo, upon the account that 'tis.better to ajlotv with
oiemoft than with the leaft. ...
j( 7, This I take to be certain, that the hpence of theQuartile'ii/?»;
twice 24Hours And if fo, that fpace of time, unlefi the Afpeft tiappens
precifely at Midnight, is found to exlft more Oriels, under the Denominati-
on of 3 days. So that (with the Readers patience) if the ATpedi happen
oni^/aliy-Noon, wereckonthecompleatboundaryof that Afped to begin
on Mmehm Noon, and end at Mid day on WedHtJdny.
$ 8, This being allow'di 'twas convenient to produce 3 almoft entire
days, in regard that Firft, though the Day.may, yecthe Conftimrion, when
Uniform, cannot be divided: Next, that the different quality oftne pre-
fent Afpedf may be Rated; notwithffanding fometimes.we reckon one and
the fame Conflitution to the two Competitors, wi. the Sextile or the
Trine 5 the Dignity of the Afpedf, I fay, will be found, aotwithftanding
that common Accemon,by its proper In(lances,their Number, and Moment
Sohave I feen ihefimt Weiglit luccelfively thrown into bothScdti to evi-
dence the difference of the Body which preponderates. Howbeit, when,
an Inftance falls outlet it be reckoned by all means to that Alpedf to which
it is neareft (ituate.
§ 9. But how a Right Angle fhould admit loch a Latitude as we pretend,
may be another Scruple, but .we know there may be fonie Latitude in a
Natural Angle,. where there is none allowed in pure Mathematiquesi, A
Right Angle made by Luminous Bodies may have a virtual reach to half a
Sign; FIfieendegrees breaks noSquares, at leaft are not dilcerned to make
iucn fenfible variation in a croud of other Caufes, which pretend to co ope-
rate to the faott RfTeftBefides there may be fomcthing coididerable from the
Vicinity of the Moon, for in other Syzygies except the Lunar, I cannot fay
the Quadrate reaches fo far, A Qgadrate of Saturn or Mars with Sol, lofes
it felf infiveDegteesperhaps.
4 10. Furtbermore obferve, that the two Columns ofthe approaching Ta-
ble. ferve, the, firft for the former Quadrate, the 2d. for the later, which
differ a matter of 14 or 15 days one from the other.

Sirifs oWeatler, hinted at already, if that be true which we have allerteo,
or rather commended to obfervation, that the fiiftiitg of Winds argues
Ommotum fomewheie. We have faid that the Phaits of iheTrine looks
with (omedtformity, and the Charafler (A) feems to be Myfierioui and Ma-
gical, if there be fuch Power to raife Tempefts. Without fooling, it hath
an unexpedled, undreamt of Influence towards fempejls, whether of Lightning
in the capable Months, or of Winds, PwiWRagings, Hurricanes, which
Ibmeiimes are felt without the Trapiques, even in our Septentrional
parts: This being fomewhat Novel, or near Paradox, muft, yea, hlilibeen
demonftrated.
o 20. But then what fliould be the Latent Spring of this Energy, can any
Man tell? If the Mufical Fancy doth not pleafe, we have aHignec a Right
kngle'tst the Quadrate Afpeft, for the Seat of itsftrength, if a Man may
fay it, before ever we Read the more Learned O/hufius. Verily, if we
rightly confider it, the fame Angle may be found under the Trine, in as
much as by reafon of the Obliquity o( the Lcliptiqqe, we fee it fall out that
one of the two Planets lb Afpedted may lie juif under the Meridian, when
the other is on the Limb of the Horizon.
9 2i. Thus: Bring me $ and 'f, SollliiialSigns to the lAeridian, and
there you (hall find but 3 Signs appearing, which make an abfolure Qua-
drate : But reduce 'tr K Y, either ofthem to the Meridian, and in the Gri-
ental part of Heaven you lliall obferve IV. Signs, a perfeS Trine emers'd
above the Horizon. The Equator is uniform, Ihews it 90 grades conltandy
on the Ealternand Welfern lide •, the Edipttque isnottyedtoihaiconlfant
Equality; it is unequally divided fometimes with 4 Signs of one fide of the
Meridian, and only 2 Signs on the other. And this is not all. Let us confi-
der the Occidental Mediety of Heaven, let us denrefs n Eil tr to the
Horizon, and we (hall find neer IV. Signs compriz'a in theArrA from the
Horizon to the Meridian, as before you found it from the Meridian to the
Horizon. So then, if in all thele Cafes a right Angle is difceroed, the Effi-
cacy of rhe Afpecl may be founded thereon.
v 22. Now, whether thefe Trines, as it feems according to this Do-
dlrine^ owe an their Influence to thefe Critical Coincidences, withMbf-
■dian Circle or Horizontal, may be referred to itsprope^Chapter, or may
be folved by what propofed in the □. It remains only to enquire why a
Trine is more Turbulent than a Quadrate Afpedh 4"^ that will be afloiled
by conlidering themeafure of the dngle, by the length of the Suitegfa ifi-
ching4Signs, or 120 grades; for upon thisaccoupc is the Quadrate more

that the Earth and Solid Bodies reflefl ftronger, than Water or Fluids:
Ttiefeis more Land then Water (thevallcompafsof Jfia,) EaftWardof

from the Earths reflexion, or from the Other Celeftial lucid Bodies, to
vyhich (wiatlbever Galileo hath obferved to the contrary, Ilhouldas rea-
dily incline) the Aftrologer is not obliged to determine.

the Celeftial Bodies operate upon the hsferiour (if I have leave to call the
Earth mferiour) by Light and Motion. Atprefem, that the i operates hi

by Tekfcope or Microfcope; I applaud the invention, but there may be ill ufe
made of it; when we feirch after bidden, in the neglect o f Obvious Truths.
Secondly, though I could ask, whether Gafendm hath calculated thefe Af-

it j Howbeit, the leaft diftance aliignable is ihtpendious, but v ho /tands not
amazed at the Contemplation of the Univerfef Thellmbrage of the incom-
prehenfible Deity! Where (hill we allow Wonders, if we fiiall not
allow them in the Heavens above, nay even at onr Feet ? Go we to
the Micrifcope, the lead Sand in the Hour-Glifs mud conlid of thoufands
pf Corpulcles lefs than it felf; whichyOu maybelicve, if you can fancy it
refolved into a Fume. How much Fume will Nature require to make up
fuch a Solid, though little, Subdance ? But in the Heavens, there 'tis bcoad
day, where tlie Vulgar can difcern Wonder; and if they objeft, that their
Motion is incredible, is not tlieirBulk incredible, die ityfiwc; incredible,
every thing futeable ? The Didarce of the Firmsment in the Hmthrfi, is
almod infinite, neque pmle! faith Copfrniau, nor are weafhamed to (ayit.
But is their any Circumference fogrear, where Nature haih placed a free
Body, but die can teach it t6 defcrioe the fame in any time given ? Cannot
God make his Works even ? If Nature can create motion, it can accele-
rate it in input turn, as number may be augmented; and if circular motion
it felf is a Miracle, as Galih faith right, Jet him enhance his Wonder in
the Velocity Adfual or .poffible. Our Underdandings are narrow as our
Exprelfions; we mud enlarge .them. We dand amazed at the multitude of
Siphres, and yet we believe the number of Archimedes his Arenariiis. There
are fome things incredible in Nature, Even after Sight we ceafc not our
Wonder, we defire to fee them again. I never us'd the Micro/cope, but I
admired, I grant, our Motion therefore incredible, that is to lay, marvel-
lous; none of the Copernicom have dared to (ay, 'tipabfolutely ftlfeorim-
foffible. God who has made Light to move for thoufands of Miles in an
indant, by a (freight Line, may make it move a femblable fpace through a
Circle, if the uleof the World requires it.
p 11. The Earth it felf, according to theSyflem, moves goo Miles in an
Hour, Kepler. Epit. part. j. page 107. upon which account it mud move
ii Miles ina Minute, and a quarter of a Mile (n a Second, in die twinkling

fhould move fo faff, confidering the Heterogenereity of its Parts, and
want ofchoharfion. And (his is but the Diurnal Motion, for the Annual
City goesa full Mile atthatmoment.

what hinders but that there may be as much content between the Fixed and
the Planets, as if they were all engaged in a material Circle ? The Coperni-

Tulrmaic will not ftand out.

Aftronomy is indebted to the great Mathematician Kepler, this is none

Keplers Cakulatim maniftftly agrees with our pretenlions, as in fome parts

the Account, not from want of fight, fometimes, how to reconcile the
State of Heaven for that day; with that fingleAfpeft; which, as we have
pronounced'all the way, is vain and impoflible; The contrary whereof,
though he, (as we are all found of out own Propofalslyet when be is put to

it may be perceived that I drive at the exalting of S above ), I anfwer,
it drikes not at 3's eminence; for 'tis a ruled cafe, I hope, that Three are

Winds contraty to the iftind of the Antients. I anfwer, I have not travel-
led the world over neither with Columbus, or Unfchoten, our Drake, or

pected otherwife that, I fpeak for our Climate only, being apt to believe
chat die Antients fpoke nothing but Truth, relating allbto their Climate.
Mercury in the more Sonthern dryer parts, may be more windy, and lelsfor

<• 39. Thus fir for the Enjl Mies in the good fhips called the Inndox, the
Experiment, Whole worthy Commander was my judly Dear Friend. I
could add the like for the Weft Mies Voyages; butthefemay fuffice, the
Obfervations lye indeed with fome interruption, Ibme Conjuniftions being
not noted; but none on our part having given a faithful Account wherever
thejournal related hisStory.
40. Here I objedl to my felf, that all this ramaging of Sea Inftances
doth not prove that our Dear ! is yet a Windy Planet, by the gales of
Wind afcribed to him; becaufe thefeGales, we know, Jatt the Mariner
from the Time he hath firft fetfail, to his very Port; but the d 0 5 doth
not latt all that while, not for fo many Months as the Eaft Mia Voyage
requires.
141. Therefore I anfwer, the Objedtfon feems reafonable, but it only
feemsfofor want of Experience, or the Knowledge of the true State of
the Qudlion. For the Queftinn is, not whether die d Q5 is the on/y AP
pedl which raifes WindT But whether S be not rightly Charate'd by
the Antient Allrologers for fuch a Faculty ? If fo, then wherever he is
configurate with d or U, or 9, he may do the like: He may, yea, and
he doth, as will be feen in its Place. ' Nor do we aflert ? the only Planet
who is fo qualified, the Afpedlsof the s wehave leen, . have their Winds
along with them: So what with One AfpeS, what with Others, as at a
Game at Foot-ball, the Ball comes to the Goal. Sometimes indeed tjhereis
a calm at Sea, the Foot-ball lies Dill, but it is not longe're Ibme Afpect or
other meets it, and accordingly as the Afpedl is, the Gale is fmall and fmt,
or frejh and brisk, or hard or extrem. The Mariner comes not to his Port
byO/jf Afp?dh but by AH. Neither do the Natives ufe ooe Method, in the
the River Nik ( fuppofe) the Boat lometimes fails, (bmetimes jloiys,
fometimes drives with Stream, fometimes (hoots the Cataradl s ihoptlng
the Otaradl fpeeds one on the way, but it reaches not to the Pott, .the
Sail, the Rope, the Pole at due times muft help to the Arrival. ,
? 42. Mercury then may enjoy his Charadier, and nomanfcrnple it; for
what (hould hinder? Is all the Chaldee Philofophy Superflition ? Even as
much a all Heathen Learningis abominable. We mall make Ibme work if
we throw away Euclid and Archimedes, becaule Heathens, andDiofeoridej,
becaufe an uMgyptiaa y we have obferved before, that Mefet himfelfthfevv
not away all the tJEgyptian Terms; and Nature it felf may have in Chaldee
Paraphrafe.
.043. Here, according to former precedent, we fhduld range a Table
for Pyognollick of the Rain according to the Siins: but here that Methqd
takes not place, becaufe of the variety of the Days concerned, which in
the Dif edt i are more or left, as the Motion of 1 happens to be fwifter or
power. In Aiuary you fee the d brings Rain, or Snow, or Wind, 5 days
in 6. An. i6pp. In K An. 1668 it bringsRain and Wind all its 5 days. In
March 1673. die like. In March ifiyqSnoiv thrice in ; days, &c. But
it haps not accordingly in the other years under the fame Signs; (b that we
cannot as yet pretend to any thipglikelnfallible, implying in the mean while,
whatthe Planet comes iW at'Une dme, it makes amends at another: ef-
eommuuitm Amis, in the Diredl, it brings 11. of 16. in a certain Sign called
Aiuary; and 12. of 19. in H. 14. of 31. in n S. 15. of 24.in il, after
this Proportion.

About 7. or 8. lies the difference.
( 43- Thus theDiVrffithtRrfwfrdfw/Afpeift is brisker according to his more
fixed Stint of fewer ti. e. but Three Days) for the moft parr. For I pro-
mile you here Ccimaunihui Amis, the Afoeft brings Rub (and what mm )
I may fay every day s in 9 or 10 clays I find but two excepted that are not
Rainy; Once, indeed, I meet with Three.
#44. Here s Influence then, and (omething approaching infttlUlilift; if
we were as near theLapis Thilcfofharm: as we are to fome Infallibility, we
fhould be Rich.
1145; The reafon is given, becaufe.5 is found to be nearer the Earth on
this fide the 0 in his Rrtrort^/oB,* when diredf he incedes above it. So the
Inferimr Planets, what they loofein their Bulk, Natnre makes up in their
Vicinity to the Earth.
146. Now, chat 9 makes'a grttter impreflion upon us than the 1,
may, by the Attentive be obferved, even from theHail or Snow (as well
as fmart Rain ) whlchappears, chough at mod but feldom, yet more eqflal-
ly (When it appears) under tm Planet. For if I mi (lake not, the Sboips un-
twr S'srf with 0 are commonly more hard and whiffling, then at the
N^worFull, except upon a common Engagement with fome other Afpedf,
ib'emote proper Origine of that Conffitucion. I reckon in like manner, chat
the H is not of her own Nature imlined ac all w produce Hail, 1 mem not
a great drop, as Hall commonly is congealed in the Defcent. The I is of
a softer Light, apt to produce Deas and MiJIs, and the more, favourable
Moifhire. There is fome Anger in Hail, and more Violence in rheHeat
which fathers the Drop deflin d for it. And the fame account for Hail com-
pared with the Lunar evinceth; for the New D brings but 3 Inffances, the
<S © 5 brings 7. and the rf" 0 and D brings no inore, which yet in days
exceeds our Mercurial ConjundHon.
My. Nevertbelefs, if that will not do, we may be pleafed to compare
the Loucf Evidence of Thunder on either fide our d fhews IX. Thunders
with VII. Lightnings diredf 5 Reflex it brings 17. for each. Whac Thunder
doth d 0) bring? Two. The Full, four. The Squares, F«»r. ThpTrines
and Sextiles Lunar are Hlgheil •• The One of the As bringing Seven; and
a Sextile Six, but we then add the Account of Lightnings aqd Thunder
together, ana our d 0 5 exceeds all. » •
i 48. But it maybe I need not Labour to prove S to be a more Potent
Planet, becaufe, as I imagine, even the Adverliry upon any Influence folid-
ly proved on our Planets part, not unwillingly allow the Preeminence to it,
compared with the D. We remember here that Ptolemy told us of his
IJk tA,-,™;. Thunder and Lightning, andFiery Meteors-, we have met with
a few of thefe later alfb, which may be worth die mention. But what
might Ptolemy firft mean by his awW ? Do we think that he meant that our
Planet in Dominion was AH Wildfire, and do nothing elfe but RumUe'm
the Air in Summer time? By no means. He in tended not that i: Thundred
infallibly, Toties, Saoties-, He knew it might arid ought to frullrate a
Fuifny's Obfervation of the Heavens, who hath obferveda5<w*rrr or Two,

Fire. And lb was an Inftrument of lome Divine Power, whom all Na-
tions believe creates that Meteor, the Thunder. Well, you fee this proved
at large from Germny: Or, will you pleafe to accept an account from our
own Land ? I have by Gods Goodnels lived to make the Obfervation, and
'tis pity, it may be, it fhould perilli, becaufe the Eite of a Liberal Science
lies upon it. Then Lo.' here it fulloiveth, even fromthe beginning of my

And this may be no fmallMMiaw for conviction of Diftienters; for if a

know the Caufe, as abroad, fo with us at home, An. idj^.July 1;, 16,17,
'(among others ) 3 days hot together. Whence comes the Heat! Theaofwer
is matte. Oh it is ufoal for the time of the year. But this anfwer is not Sci-
emificah it renders not the Caufe. If a Philofopher enquire after the Na-
ture ofSleep, thecaufe is not afligned by laying, It is Blual,or, 'tis the time of
Night; the gentle UnCtuous cKling vapours, to bemift and charm the Sen-
fory.istheCiw/e: Feaverilli and Familh d Men fleen not for all the time of
Night. So, be it never lb much the time of the year, place the Sun
where you pleale, there's no necefjjty this day waff be hot with Exprefs oi
Eiceflive Heat. Thofe 2 days of July, though inclined to Heat at mucial-
moil as any. are ml aftrajs found under that GharaCier. If the Enquiry
were, whether a hot day in Summer were a Prodigy ? Such anfwer, in-
deed, werepunClual.■ A'o. iy m means-, tis ufual, and according to the
lime of the year; But when the Queliion proceeds of Caufe wherefore
at that time ofthe year/Nay, wherefore on the very day, which mighthave

iecret and abftrufe caufe: I muft find a Reafon from the very Conjlitntlon

The time of the year allows only an aptitude or Inclination.The Argument doth
not follow from the Power or Inclination,to the AC1; This day is hot, iecanfe
it was probable it would. What then (Sir) is the Caufe ? The Aftrolcger rea-
fonably urges, Chance can not be it. for what determines the EffeCi?
fince all Events, though never fo cafual, are fuch, not becaufe they have no
determinanr, to becaufe'tis unknown.

fed for Wind and Rain then. But this objediion concerns not Alpedis, of
which in general enough hath bin faid; but is rather levell'd a t the

when it Rains, but who prepared it fovatiouily, lb uncertainly , under Inch
Dirfbrmity and DiUbnance, (to comply with the Objediion) is theQijelih

%tfe, ashedothnor, that the Fixed are concerned with the Sun, theCon-.

Iwiflit it longer, for he that lliall furvey the Table, will find that there
are 4 or 5 Months wanting, it requires almoll: another 30 years.
And let no man be grieved here that we have allowed too many days, 13.
or 14. towards the Verge of our Afpedt •, not fq much for fecunty like, hi
cafeof idefeSive Calculation, which in 9, it feems, is not controverted .•
But for the more fure comprehenfion of thofe Effedts, which by clear right
belong to the Afpedt, though at the Diflance of two degrees, fince the. Af-
pedt challenges? days to it felf, even while they are dofe among thetnlelves
in the (am? degree. , , •
P .7. As to the Warmth of this Afpedt, tvhen we have met with days of
Soultry Heat, not feldom accompanved with Lighwi/ig. and Thunder:
They, who weigh thofe Effedts, and the determinate time of their appeal
ranee, will find (forgetting all foolilh conceits) our Feminine Planet to be
Marfculine fo far, to oe a Virago, partaking of Fallas, the Flqjhing Fiery
GoeHefi.
• j 8. Thus is (he a Friend to Warmth, but fo, as fometimes yon fee, to
I CM Not as the Toy takes hers how then-fn quid ue comprehend her
• Ficklenels ? Or bring it under Rule f But according as (he is attended, or
abandon d by the reif of the Company. Tis no News that the fame
Planet,under various Circutnftances, Ihould cmfe Heat, and admit, yea, and
in fome meafure acuate Cold. The d g }, the d 0 S did fo. For we
cannot diifetnble that in the year 1663. we find Extream Frojl for 13 days to-
gether, even through the whole Period almoif -, but we may note, that 'tis
not there alone, but generally all Ccnjundtions asfuch, in fome refpedt fa-
vour Cold. Even the .d O 5 it felfi How fo ?( I anfvver, not as 'tis
rorigre6 of Luminous and Calorifique BodieSj fince'tis impollible but Heat
ffioufd be intended and increafed by fuch Unions but becaufe inail Cqnjun-
dhons there is a Cq-ardiation or Redudtion of the Luminary toprecife
Points and Dittances, which 'tis certain may and do adf more at a lels conone-
Baent inthe ll'taxination of theMedium; 110 man to enlighten afair Room will

■Two Olorifick Bodies doth increafe, and alfo abate heat, undtr feveral
fonfiderations. It increafesit as to the point, it abates it as to thfe Ciremfe-
rence, it increafes it as to theproper place, it abates it as to the Common; for
the Congrefs is Lineal, wherein the Planets fo meeting, are unifed, ('tis true>
but they are conlfraihed and reflrained to a precife point, a narrow appart-

i 10. For the Fird of thefe, that S. makes a fnc Air, I thought it had bin
a forced illulion to theEeautvof the Planet, wherein the Fiction of I'tina
Aurea, and , mud have bin glanced at; But when on a review k
cad my Eye on the Diary, I faw there was no Poetical H8io« in the cafe.
Our d © 9 oft-times makes a bright Air, and clear, as her Hue pretends.
Nor will we dand to Imagine any probable reafotf thereof but this, that what
caufes the onp. that may be the Author of the Other; The Intrinflque bright-
ne(s of the Planet may perfufe the Air with a (hitable Gleam. This may ap-
pear not only in the bright days, or parts of days, which are found under
her, whether Hot, or cold dody Conflitutions, but even where fome wet
may happen. For now dear is the Air many times (except perhaps in Win-
ter) how Hdiday-Wke I (ay, doth it look, when yet alhowre may dep in,
and mufflle the azure mirrour ? In like manner, after a morning, Foggy
though it be, may prove a dear and bright day, when the fullen Fog may
fcuHhectiDd there in its fcatter'd Atoms, apaling the brightnels which at
other times may be more vivid. I (hall not (land much upon this, only
produce one notable Tedimony mentioned in the Diary, where I was never
able to feeinour GtyHorifon, the Centaur i Head but once, and that you
ke isonour d of o and !-
(5 ii. For what follows in Ptokmy we are ready to prove as toShowres
andDropping. She brought Rain in above aoolnftances, andthat will do.
And Rain or Snow, all, or mojl part of the day, neer 40 ti mes. Once or
Twice (he continues the Fog all day; even therein (hewing her Partnerfhip
withthe Sun, and how true (hekeepstohim 5 fothatif undera £ of <3'
and J, Sr d Q 5 you will plead, you can find the like; I anfwer,Nayj
For if I find our d of o and 2 in any reafonable (Rapacity aiding at the
fame time. To our Beauteous ConjuniHon will I afcnbe the Contmuancei
as perhaps we may find die like in fome after Afpeds, who are of asfiow a
Motioa
y 12. On this account it is that we often times fee Clouds as in feveral
Stories, hofts or Scenes, one over another.' I do not fix them on this Afpeft
only, but fpecially I do; fuch Conthnalions of the Qouds do fliew that (lore
of Rain is (ailing, or ready to fell. In all dire Tempefis we may find
fuch Bay of Buildings in the Regions above , which when they faK
on our-Heads, make a EnnwCWi; the Firft Heaven doth often tumble
upon our Heads; And in Loud Thunder thefe (everal Stories, no doubt,
heighten the. violence of the Eruption, and helps to firike the Lightning
.downward, which otherwife would fly as innocently as a foft filent Might'
plame, fudden or (hooting in the Hufh't Night.
f 13. For High Winds, whereof Ptolemy makes mention, we have a com-
petent Number, which occur both in the Direft Conjumdion and Retro-
grade. 1 obferve he doth not (lick to attribute Winds to $, though hs
hath
 Chap. II. Trea fures of Rain and Hailj where.
hath afcribed the (ame to 5 before. All that we (hall lay is, and no body
will perhaps, gainlay us, that there is reafon why 5 Ihould be reputedof a ■
more windy Influence than his Neighbour Planet, becaufe of his Vicinity,
yea, and thofe wore often Cbngrefles with the Sun: but notwithftanding this,
welhall fee tobeTruth, that many times $ hath her Muence, and ao fmll
Influence on many Tempells, of which 5 carries away the Name. ■
^ 14. What more remains will come under the more PlatiqneConfiderS-
tion of this Afpeft, whofe Grandure will not be confpicuous, except we
enter into a larger Field, beingnotunwillingherein to fpare our pains. Here
I find the Ards, Sumrn. Anglican, fpeak of iz. degrees, others 'of ij.
which 1 muft needs fay is founded on Experience,as hath bin ihewn in part al-
ready in S. Nay,fome fpeak of the laiBe Sign,but of That we fay little till we
come to the Superiours. At prefent we (hall produce no Evidences but what
comes within Compalsofthe firft Moiety of the Sign, the 15, degree, and
all on this fide of it. •
f 15. But we have not done our bed: for our Moifiure yet; 1
Thus then, notwithllanding we have faid that 13. or 14 days produced fpt1
every AfpedUn the Diredl Table is a Prejudice to our accounts, yet even Co

yet perhaps, may be aiove our Contempt.
$ rp.Fird , Oioceming the Clouds, ef wliich there appears theft didc-
i«nces, fit»">Clond% Eeec'd Cloudy fome which I call Fritter Clouds, all
fiom their likoiefi, other Striped or Streaked Clouds, lying in drange Fur-
rows as it were.\vt have reafon to think theft belong to theAfpedf, becaufe ■
they are found all of them within the interval of three degrees, and yet ac.
cording tothe general Nature of Clouds, fodiverufied. Compare this w ith
Clonds in their Xq/tt or Conagoations, Theft are abatements of chat Fulnefs.
Now all abatements do fpring from the fubdrablion of the Caufc, as in the
StripedCload, which is remarkable as fometime to reach from one end of the
Heaven to the other, fomewhar dlffcult to explain as yet, having advanced
not much in our Theory, but ftifiik'n is, being certain (to the Glory of Pro-
vidence be it IjiokenJ that'thereis no appearance in Heaven without itsCauft.
i 20. The next is, clouds riding contrary, contrary I lay to the Wind, or
contrary to one another. Who fends them, trow you, of fuch different Er-
rands' It ism the lame Wind drives the Clouds 3 howbeic, the Seaman has •
advanced fo far, to make his way to contrary points by the feme gale. I
uftd to compare it to thereof the Young Flood at the fide of the River,
when the main Stream runs to Eih. This contrariety happens in ftverol
Apartments o( the Air, Secundsim fuh & fupra, and 'tis caufed by a Alpefl
fuperinduced to the Prior Senior, ftandingAfpedb Upon the fame account,
as 'tis ulual for die Wind to veer abontagainft a Storm, and when the dorm

fome lay, that Clouds coming againjl Wind are a ffgn of a Storm, or Thunder,
andthelUce. The Caufc is difierent as in the Waters, 'tis Young Floud by

jl 23. We have (aid that the Latitude or Amplitude of the Afpedls are not
mmentithus, and nothing is more reafonable. For if two Agents united in
iCentral Union can get a Name, why fliould they not be thought to be ope-
rative at a convenient dillance, whether anteceding that Union, orCanfe.

my part thought the Jrai was mad, but allowing for tne difference of the
Climate, He is not much out of the way , for let even Mumazar have
his due, All things confidered, he is not to be blamed.

the Fables dream of this, when they tuaght the World, Venus and Vulcan

Jfy. Whether they did orno, the Influence of 9 for Winds, or Rain
and Heat, and Thunder, and abundance of all thefe is not fabulous. What-
foevera rf 0 ¥ or 0 9 hath done, in that will a d ¥ s match them;
for though 2 be greater than the T, yet 9 furpafleth the 3 and Earth

Wind, Rain,and we may add Thunder, todear the krahs from their mad-
nefs which was fufpedted. Their Experiencej we muft think, was groun-
ded upon more than 8 or 9 years, and a few Conjunctions therein contain-

ber the days, and he mail find Mad, er at leatt Notable doings here and

be within a few degrees ordays, what time we meet with Excefles, for
'tis rot always fa ' Witnels;tnat on May 13. Anno 1612. where the , rf

even there we meet with a Fluit LargiJJlmi, May 17. and 18. Heat and
Thunder, May 19. and 2a to add no more, within 4 days of the AfpeCf,
and no other neer of any note, the Lunar excepted. The Truth on't, 'tis
a fweet Eviction to .fee Rain and Storm, when the © 9 and 2 are neer
logether, as the AraA faid now of the 1 with them, particularly, when in.

Is no hard Problem. But our Celeftial Bodies muft be confider'd not by
them (elves as in the aEtherial Region, .for thefe they produce nothing but
dry Effeds, Comets fuppofe, &c. fuitable to their Emanations: But they

about my Ears, but I fay 'tis, (in vulgar way of fpeaking) a more violent
Star than the Sun it it felf._ This will be proved not only in this, but alfo in
the epfuing Chapters.
OTS. This raifes expeftation, which we will endeavour to farisfie,when '
wehavearifvveredoneObiedlion, Firft, that'tis abfurd to make a Reflex-'

whether ourPlanet hath any fuch heat or no; for if fo, we (hould not(fure)
find Hard, Sharp, Frofty, Cold Seafons, whenfoever our violent Planet is

fingly, and dis|unft ftom the Direft; Bat if we, foppofe the Direft Radia-
tion, as in Nature it doth, then T wo is more than one, the Diredl and the
Reflex is greater than the Diredi alone: So in vulgar fpeaking (aswefay
fometimes, the Son is Finer than the Father, whereas all the Finery he
wears comes'out of the fathers Purfe; J isa more violent Star, becaufe
hijAfpedis with the 9 S are-more violent than thofeof the 0 with the

jundHon of c7 and 9 latently includes 0, - Ad 0>9 doth .not included,
wherefore if Three be more than two, a d <J 9 is greater than a d0 9.
This in ftridb PhilolbpKy may. not be faid, feeing the Mi«ir hath its Ener

Aftrologers do' ufually fpeak of Debilities; All Ejanets in Winter Signs
are but in a lowcondition as to Northern (ice, fo reffiotp from the Winter
Tropick: the Setting Sun is weak and cool as a Ghw-Worm. and Planets in
the Winter Tropic are fetting even at Noon (as it werej by thcinear ap-
proach to the< Horizon. Apply this to d and thereft ; as in the Winter
31 Mufcmiy, Anno 1681, when the Potilh Souldiers (uffered by the Cold,
Cilvif. All the Planets were in deep Winter Quarters. Howbeit, even
' thuisin his Weak Eflgte our Pijnet beara/ome Teftimony to himfelf by

worth an Qblervers notice , when the Pladding Countryman overloots
' fuch Vicimtudes of Nature, if fhort and temporary; For fo I hope none
can obied to us the cruel Winter noted by Grmmu, Anno 1568. Secutaefi,

what was-the Alberity? Winds and Rains. Churches flrook with Light-

upon that account that the Divine Goodnefs hath retarded his Motion,that
o his Configurations with the Sun, and other Planets, the I excepted,
beinS lefi frequent, the World (hould be lels dilfradtedf Suppofe
therefore we (hould allow (which indeed we cannot) that Great Britain,

V41. The famed Violence of this Planet will be bed apprehended when
ive have (een his Configurations with the eufiling Planets s yet, even here
'ds confpicuous in his (hare of Heat, Storms, Lightning, &c. and the
Flames of Vejirvius, Comets of extraordinary Shape, and if any other No-
velty fteps in.
<S 42. Here we may be exculable if we bringone and the lame Inftance
under feveral Afpedls thereiry admoni(l/nig, that the gyand Produdlions
of Nature are owing, not to our (ingleCaufc, but to many, who are hi-
red out, and employed fof the Service, as may be feen in all Works of
Nature. So my very Pen moves not now, but by the Aifent and Con-
feit of all thofe numerous Mufcles, Veins, Arteries, Nerves,, which make
up the Fingers. We have mentioned nothing in our Table but what we
would willingly fpeak to io^'ts turn.
Ant Firft, Comets dare in our Fares, as Anno 1511.39.54- 5°. But
the Truth is, they do not prefevere ,for we heard of no more, till Anno
163}. We (hall fee what they will do in the next in the T wo Superiours.
For the reafon I pcrfvvade my felfwhya Comet (hews it fclf, one year ra-
ther than another, and why (b thick and frequent in Come years, asidiS.
1665. WhyHecla Mountainflamed notfrom Anno 1558. to Anno 1551.'
Why rdiraiaifometimes two years together: Why every Twelve years
the Indians look for their Fujfon, their Alfdedroying Whirlwinds? f Ar-
duous Queftions which the WonhyDemacrttinJunioy propoles to us J The
Iii ea-
2 12 , Hot blajls at Sues. The relation of Comets to BookJJ-
Realbn in general can be no other but this.though there be eminent Strokes
in thefeProduftions of fome peculiar Catlettial; yet there happens, or hap-
pens not aConcurrence of allRequifites in fuch and fuch determinate pollutes,
and Habitudes ,• and dillance, pojitit, the Relult follows. Forif
one or other be wanting,1
the Efteft gives no aapearanee. Where a Co-
metbeginswith d d 0, whetheralone , or in Company with d 9 S, I
take this to be an eminent Stroke of our Planet orAfpeft.
P 43. What (hould I reckon up theLighmings, Storms,and Tempells.for
they aft next, which occurr. On, Had our Intelligence been uninterrupted
and uniform! tut the very-Times did not bear that; 'tis not yet 200 years
fince the Indies were known by Eurofean Navigators; nor did Navigation
floarilh with us till Q^Jj/frMtoft.Howbeit more might have been amafled
together but that \ve judged fome loft of time, as Hevelius al(b complains,
when he fought out the Hidory of Comets. This let usobferve, that as
deficient as our Table may appear, there isfcarcea d within thefe laft too
years, , but contributes fome remark favouring our Fiery Meteor.
p 44. Among which there occur once or twice burning and fcorching
Winds at the Famous Port of Sues, at the hither end of the Red Sea;
which put me ftraicinmindof Ptolemy's
Melting Blafts, and (hews to. v-'hac Cfimes PtoUwics Character may be
properlyreckoned; and withal that tHe Charafler it- felf is,no Figment,but
grounded upon Experience and ObferVation, as all good Learning is.
« 4j. Halo's, • Rainbows, andvParelia are noted 5 but they belong
as hath been .faid, to a Conflux of Planets. For the Sun alone makes not
any: Rainbow that is vivid'or llluftrious; nor doth the j folitarily
caufeanffa/o; but the Band u are aflifted fometimes by S 5 <?, as in
Telsmatters, when the Evening is red at G fet, and then oyerfpreads the
Hemifphere; There is befide the 0, 9 and 9 near theHorizon, or d or
5 be either Eaftor Weft, or perhaps in Media Crli.
.0 eft. I may add further as to Comets, that although they appear not
within the Verge of what may be called a d gJ, yet they appear of-
ten when our Planet isaifociated with the reft, Imean, in the lame Hemif-
phere ; for we are willing to believe jhar more Comets are kindled in that
fpace than when he wanders alone in the other, the d being more potent
than the a'.
9 47. This though we have not mentioned, it is certain that the Afppfh
of p and d, elpecially our. d areof Mai-Influence to MensBodies; and
in token whereof we mail find thofe years complain of Epidemic Di-
ftempers, &e. withtheird of d0. Yea, evenall theverytime ofthe
Confonfiion: I cqplJ have inferted a large Table to this purpofe from all
partsof Europe, aixl undeniableinsPutthefe Two Obfervations together,
andtheCorollary will be,, that upon this account, Comets may figniSe un-
healthy times, New Difeafes, Plagues, &c. even as they do Earthquakes
and Inundiftlons, being the Gom-ProduRions of thole Supertour Caufes
which are the Authors ofthe afore faid Evils. Forif It be once granted,
that theCeleftialBodiesaretbeCaufcs of thcLone with the other, the
Earthquake with the Comet, then the Comet may be a Sign of the Earth-
quake, and whatfoever comes in Profpedl withir. Hence uponthis account
manytimes, may the Earthquake antecede the Cqmet ( not always follow
it) becaufe'tis not the Cometh but 'tisajoynt Effedtof aThirdCaufe
according to Natures Method, Produdttve of both. Now Nature's Me-
thod is not always the iame as in Smok? and Fire The Smoke commori-
ly precedes; true, in Green Combuftibles, but not in dry and unfluous >
There the Flame precedes, and the Smoke follows. Now how comes
Smoke to be a Sign of Flame, 'but becaufe one common Incentive produ-

ccth both. A Comettherefare follgiving an Earthquake , though itloo-
feih the Frxmonitory part, yet it looleth not the Nature of a Sign, be-
caufe, though f«r the moff part it doth by hs precedency premonlih: Yet
it is Jiiifrque/it too, and!fo'a Sign, not of \vhat's//((«)f, bunvha: is pajt ■
As the Footpp is a Sign of an Itihabitant. : So much (of that.
«44, But we have a greater Task in hand, and that is'theCW-ratfr of
the Ocean. Now, a Cucrent you mu(( know, is fuch a Tide of Srreatii
Seculiartoa place that it lhall fruftrate the Mariners reckoning, and (et
im back 20. or go. Leagues, when he, (the Wind being not able to Stem
the Force of the Stream) lhall think he is lb many Leagues advanced.
The Philofophic Royal Society to excellent purpofe have defired, that all
Navigators fliould take notice of the Current in all partsof the Sea, for the

as the Nature of the P requires; You feeatthe Foot of the Table it ad-
mits more frequent Cold •, the Nature, I fay, of an cf in general, admits
of Cold, rather than d, upon the fame account as the Breath of iny Mouth
at a diftance feels cold ancf rough upon the Hand,which is warm and gentler
when the hand is let nearer to the Lips.tn like manner as in an tP 0 i, col-
der and rougher Blalls are oftner feen, than at the Change.
d 4. The reafon is, beciufe d or j, or any other Planet in d with
G, aftschiefly, lrirtiite rdiaoorum -, for whereever the the Sun is conlpku-
ousIV.or V.ot the VIII. Good Planets and True, are up at their Day-

theday?oT 1 the d, where the Plaqet Afpedtcd with tlie Sun being Retro-
grade. aid here, is foor.er difengaged from dny refpedt to the Sun; the
one falling back where the other keeps his place.
d 6. A man would have thought that this <? would have outdone the d,
becaufe of the Perigre of the Planet in the <p, nearer conliderably to the
Earth, theninthe d. Fydm making himlower than the Sun at fuch time,
andlhewinga greater Parallax. No doubt, this difference of Situation ap-
proaching to the Earth and to the Sun whom it faceth', makes theattaque
hotter, and the grapple of theBeams more dole and compaft) but yet, as
we obferved in the J's Oppojuion, the folitarinels of the Planet helps to
oool the Courage, in proportion to the Fortitude it is endued with by
ike Approximation. And thetelbre our Sums of Rain and Wind iink un-
der the <?, though they did not flinch under the d, that being more able
toberefponliblefor fo many days, than <P for half fo many.
# 7. This is clear and open ; we confels what we find, we do not ftrive
to wrack up Teftimonies to make good any anticipated Fancies as I thought

f 15. TodrawtoaCondulion, I luve taken notiaeof a pretty accident
elrtw 1674. concerning the quick motion of the S in the-Enj^v.'rt .u hicli
atfuch an hour of the day fell while I looked on,/ws. an Inch of the Sud-
den. Fell, Lilly, in the Tuie, hut role in the Ci. -veiw, the Air being
of a fudden leVitated to (uch a meafure. Let the Learned bear with me
in my Folly, we have adventured on the Currents Marine; I have
found a Current in the Air proportionable to that in the Water. For the
Currents in the Sea, as all Tides, are made byLevitationof theHumid
Body, made by way of.Tumour, which is always Lightep, and
more puffy, thah when the HumouiTilblidesunfermeuted. From whence
having received the Notion of the Air gravitating, l am by this petty ap-
pearance confirmed in the opinion; Learning withallthat it isthe Cele-
llial Bodies, which (according ro their various nolitions) do f/raent or
flMtn the Air; gaining alfo, into the . bargain, that the Air is of the lame
Lineage cognate to Water, and though in die day of its Creation it was ra-
rifiedfofar (as 1000 times they lay) as that no natural caule iliall re-
duce icagain, yet ftill ithath a common Nature and'Affeiftion with it. •
f 16. I would take notice of the Obfcurity of the Heavens fometimes
appearing more than others, and that in Martial Afpedls. It may be the
dark and diliral Sunday (in the Morning) is not yet forgotten : It happen'd
not larfroman rf5 0 d1, whatfoever ellh frolvn'd at that time upon us.
i 17. To (peak of the Cold upon occafion of the years, -76. -ij.- is not

that the ftateof the Air Hands upon a ticklifli point,when 3 and ©are. with
one and the other in a Frofty Seafon, and conclude to bring in a Thaw;
is Dec. 21. in the year 1676. asisnotedin the Diary. For though an 1#
be chill of Nature as touendd before, and weaker Signs muff bedebilitudesk
yet v w « h are very mutable from one extream to the other, when they
areconlcious they have a'Frietid at the other Hemifphere in the oppofi^e
Sign, For this is myllerious; as in thiChefs-honrd. An AlpeA bare and
naked may do little, but alaG! it may be' fortified by this or that appulfe,
then the removing of one man alters theGame.
i 0 18. I conclude with the apparition of S by day-Light, I have obfetved
Allronomers millaken in their conjedluresin the point, we who enquire
muff be fufpicious; what if our Afpeft Ihouldhelp to clear the Air, foas
to make the plains moreconfpicuoas? 2 and J, as 0 and S have a bright-

any Planet.the j excepted, as we have faid. I reckonhere to be excluded;
fince they help to Rytlie Wind antecedently to the Change. Forifthey
do not, what elfe can "beafligned ? The Sun and thofe which confoire with
with him fettle the Conftimtion; if any other adventitious cau&dari alter h,
it may : The Sun, I fey, in Afpeft, or out of Afpeft, gives being to the
Conftimtion; theother which are concerned, not with him, but with pn?
another, exert their peculiar Strength in Weather and Winch j: provided
that the Afpefts of thefe different Planets lye at foine diftance from the ©;
- for otherwife their Influences like Flames unite. But if ft fo happen that
the Sun being up, Thefe Afpefts are not in haft to follow him, becaufe of
their diftance; their Influence may be reparated fo fir as to fuffef a cooler
Wind to blow, which upon their Riling mall ve're to a warmer point. For
obferve itwhep you will, if the Wind rurBs to a chiller part of the Com-
pafs, There is fome retreat of the Heavenly Bodies: They either part One
from the Other, or leave the Horizon. On the contrary, when the Winds
turn from a cold Quarter to a Warmer, Weft or South, &c, There is
fome new appearance above the Horizon, or new Application of one to
another. And this, it may be, made Eichfnd obferve to us, that the Wind
changed often to the Weft under this Afpeft; -which fofar is true, that it
never changes from the Warm Quarter by virtue of this Afpeft; tomcrd
the warm Quarter it doth (gnlefi in State of Dereliftion.)

and that is Iris, Hah, Parefta. Of the former we have onegreat Inftance

and I wi(h it may. Thofe wlio liave no need.of it, I hope, will not count it
a Burden: Our Marine Evidence will be acceptable too, to our Studious
Navigator-, tpwhom, while I wilh well, Ireckon I do right to my Coun-
try .• It concerns him, at leaft, to know there are Storms and Tempefts,
and Shipwreck appearing in all its difmal Shapes and Denominations of
Whirlwinds, Hurricanes, Borafques, Tornado, Tuffon, whatlbeverthe
Portuguiz, or any other of our hnglifh have Dnarted under. Eflfedls of
Nature fo intollerable, (to fpeakwima fellow-feeling of Humane miferyl
that a Man would be glad to know (thou gb it werebut the pretoidid caufe)
of
Chap. VII. Stormfurdlf'eel^or Mo. accounted fort 245
of (iich Extremity. Remembring that while we fpeak of Tufo/is, Whirl-
winds, we have to do with Milcries incredible, which weigh more Grains
Heavier, than lome other, even intolerable accidents. Ana how frequent
theft are at Sea, none knows fo well as they that feel them •, of which the
1000 part appears not in publick. And therefore what Hidius foever is
found inour Table, mull be imputed to the Rarity, yea, and imperfedtien
of printed Journals; whofe Ab/lrach mod commonly of the true Voiage,
give not account of one Tempeftin Twenty ; belide, that toward the be-
ginning of the Later Age, Navigation had not [pdjcu'rl into S/«/«, as after-
ward -, the Time allotted by Divine Providence being not yet come,
p 22. Now, whereas we have owned before-hand that <f and 9 perhaps
are not fo ready to excite Winds and Storms, as the Mercurial Aipedts are.
lanfwer, There lies a general Exception in cafe of the Platifue Circum-
llance. Two Planets (liall do that at gr. xo, 12,14, xtf.diftance, toward
Streisand Violence of Weather, which atgr. 1. or two, they lhall not be
able. And the Realbn I have hinted before, is Mechanical; To my fur-
prife then I found, fearching into Stormy Weather, theDiftaticeoffcve-
ral Planets, at, or near 10 degrees. The firft inlpedtion I made was of
Tet.i. 165 2. High Wwdi, faith the Diary, s lies aidant from the q juft

StormyDays, t? is gr. g.diftant a Sole, and 9 gr. n. from. <J. Now,
that this Ihould happen to fall upon ad d S ,1 confefiis cafua!-, Thereft ism;.
Forneither thus dowetnake thisdiftance an Efficient, properly lb called ;
but a due difpojition ofit only. And tills jullifies the Burden of our Larger
Table; and, as we have laid, gives the Aflrologer Room, enlarges His
Profpedt, and finds him wherewidiall to take the Ahitmlei of Influence at
tuydillance And thisholdsinother excelfesof Rain, Hail, Thunder,
Heat in droughty times.
P2J. We haveoblerved already that this confidaation gives anaccount
ofthe Severity, together with the Duration of a Storm : in Planets of flow
Recefeor Duration of a day or two indeed, this may be folvedby afWt/c
Afpeft; if a Weet^y it may be folved by an allowance of 2 degrees .• As
ue can have Inflance from the Lcffcr Table, Co Anno 1661. there are but
3 quiet days found in 11. Anno 1680.8 in 9. Rainy. But where 10 or more
oegrees take place, weangiveaccountof a Month, or fix Weeks, accor-

that it helps to kindle it. Cue Afped, like one Souldiers prefence, animates

For the 24 of 1590. from Feir. 13. &c. I fay here, that this Comet
was conceived by d d 9, preceding all the way, and brought to Light by
d 0 S, gjy. Howbeit, our Afpedf flood longer by it than d 0 s.

ence of 9 often takes place, if within the confines of 30 degrees, as will
be found by Experience, though hitherto I have been fo timerous and mu-
deft, to point at but 15. or 16. degrees at farcheft. Furthermore, Anm
1661.Jan.2s. Sty/. Pet. we will not pretend that d and 9 gave being to
this Comet; Nay, we willallowit to cT q, being then within 10 degrees.
But we examine what kept this Phenomenon alive throughout the Month
of February. Is not our Afpeft here within 10 degrees at the begining of
the Month, the Partile i happening die 24.?

23. This the World, perhaps, may be ready to believe, when they Hull
conlider with me. what amazing Enefts are produced by theCeleflial Bo-
dies in fbme peculiar parts of the Zodiac. Nor does its large duration de-
terrme from that Fancy, fuppofing it la(l«d to Anno 1629. as krgol will
have it. For there is difference of Impreflionon the Agents part, and
difference of retentive difpofitionin the Stam Heaven, the Patient; Not
mud the GieitHevelm tell me, That the Light of the 0 it lelf cannot

or Cold may take place where an Afpeift is deftitute. Butfiirther, I can-
not prevail with my felf from the perfwafion, that at times, bemg a pofilhc
Influence where it cannot ftrike up a-Heat, it will adhiate tlie Stinp of
the contrary, Cold. From the Firft time I confiderd the d © ■) oft-times
commenced on Frofty days 5 much more in d © S. or © ?, &c. I recko-
ned that the beams of the Planets conjoyned could do the lefs, if they could
not perform the Gmler, For I fancy that in a cold, nipping, Frofly Air,
the d(M»,(could we fee it) is in Motion, elfe fay I, it could not penetrate the
Cults; Heat it felf could not affedlusif it did not penetrate. Now this
Motion it may receive from the Celeftial Beam. r
$ 18. I confirm this, becaufe an Afpeift of U , and c? himfelf as we
Ihall hear, hath got a Name for fuch Effefls, which Eichflad himfelf
hathconfeft. I add, that T; and d met together have a notable Influence
for the lame Cold, w-Froft and Hail, more (for other wife I will lay lit-
tle, becaufe h you will fay is a GoldStar) than a d Tj 9 , or T? u ;
Wherefore? unfcfs d'sHeat (or Eight) b«iWindeed with Tj, butdelli-
tute of its other Companions, fhewsits Influence fo ?
$ 19. I could ask, Whence comes the Adlivity of the North-Wind, were
it time to ask fhe Queftion ? In December luppofe the Sun , &c. may raife
the Exhalations, but why doth it notpropell it from the South Point, where
'tis railed? I lolve it thus: The Mirth-Wind never blows but when the
Planets are in fomeDf/frnttfEllate, and the Fixed Stars from 52 degrees
dillance on either iide of the Pole have time then to Ihew themlefves:
They can breath, though they cannot heat us; fo it is Heat (infenliblejadfu-
jtes Cold. Thus may we have leave to difemrfe, where it is not given to us
to ctmprehend And if theFiied are concerned, 'Tis their Light, or Heat;
unlels you will allow them another Influence, Which, 1 think will be (aid
only, never prov'd.

neither is the Effedt to be vilified, nor the Qufes to be difputed. We have
laid before for J S s we may venture" in the fame bottom for this Ajpeiff
alfo. 'Tis no fniall matter to give an account of the palenels, yea, of the

Curbed at fuch times, as theLearned Writers of the MacuUr ObfLUrations
conclude, Scheiner and Hcirlius, All that I have to fay is,this Inquietati-
on comes from the Heavens. In the Body of Celeftial Sphere, one dart
affedls another. A d , or an tf of J and 0, nay'with S or t will help
to bring in a Moculdinto theBody of the Luminary. Nay, the d or &
of the Superiors afpedled together will do the like. And if the Sun be the
Center of the Planetary Heaven, which I am willing to believe from the
Reafons of the Gopernicons; there can be no fcruple how it (hall come to
pals, fince every part of the Circumference glances upon the Center.

f 1. QAturn is the Higheft Planet, ol incredible diftance ; (b high, that
O it fcarce admits WjStnpble Parallax, as Artiftsperfwade; and yet
we are forced, though we ftramour felves, to reach at him out of Courfe,
by the due Laws of Method, which prefcribesus topremife, whatis
of more eafie Confideration, that way may be made for w hat is more dif-
ficile. Such, we reckon is the Planet of Jupiter: for though love be the
ihferiour, and Co feems to be le6 remote ftom our preception, yet that iV
noneceflary coofequence in Nature, as we may fee in me motion of the
Neighbour Planet J, which though it be lefs remote than U or h, is
harder to be underftood. Nature is fond of a Knot femetimes, though ill!
hath made none in a Bulrulh. (But the Nobler Vegitables are fo foil of them
that without them there is no Pruitfulnefs; no not a Bud foows in
Head.
a 4 2. Saturn, if we fpy himin his Orb hath no prmifmg Countenance
a dull, heavy Afpedt, of a Paltih or Leaden Gleam; upon which account
they afcribe that Metal to this Planet •• (b that if an Aftrologer Ihoald tella
Novice, pointing to that Star, that it had a confiderable Influence, he
would taady pronounce the Difttcor more dim-fighted than his Star. So
that ! wondred why the Antients call'd him Phamn () but that
Achilles Tatius tells us, that he is called by Co bright a Names, though he be
the dulled Star/ i,) for good Omen lake, (,a-a ■n'mn.wi)
by the Greeks and Egyptians.
#3. However, the Novice may be admon'uhed, therewithal to beget
an Opinion of h, that the Antient Aftronomers reckon him to be even
as vad a Star as % 5 and while the Moderns fey he is twice as big as U,
and ten times as big as the Earth 5 that is, s times, (for 'tis Keplers opinion
we point at) as big as A, we fee it may do mighty Feats.

of Snow the Senfory isWanner,becaufe theBloud returns with advantage to
thofe Extream parts from, whence it wasdriven -, there is a Perceptionin
Natare^nd Contrary dothfmell its Contrary. To thispurpofe.l remember
long ago in a bard Winter, where our Colledge Ale, (for that was our Li-
quor) beingconglaciated into a Capacious Veflel, upon a Thaw never re-
turned to us felft but was found fo qpuch inlipialce, with this difference
only .that in theCenter there was lodged about aQuart of much Stronger Li-
quor, than anv was putinto the Cksk. A manifeft Evidence thatSpints be-
ing belieged by the Ambient Frolf, retreated thither as to their Gttadel.
The like is to be obferved inEruits,which upon the Solution of greatFrofls
are known to putrifie, becaufe the proper Prefervative, Come would call
it (he Balfannick Spirit, of the Fruit is diflodged by the Cold, fb that rhe
Warmth-retuming finds nothing there but the Carcale of the ApjSi M.
Rohau'tin ingenious Gtrttfim, meeting I fee, with this Objedtion, confel-
fes there isa deffrudiion oftheWcxai^nd Site of the Parts: and what Pans

- on of the Members of our Body, lb ordinary in Mu[eovy and other Coun-
tries; which coiild not be if the vial Spirits did not retire from the ftrfece,
and retumagain, not of aSudlen, bucby degrees.- Namely, ifupon their
approach to Fire they lay Snow, as theStory goes, upon the part afietkd,
to prevent the fira'd Putrefadlioo.
916.1 muftnot be Iota in thisdifpute, only this I lay, we cannot fhew
a Corpufcle in the Privation, which darkens the Air, &c. But in agreat
Froft we can ihew the Cola Atoms Fluttering about us: ForinaFrofty
morning the prnitxais Atoms lye floating IntheAir, and the Traveller ga-
thers them in hisFroftyLockspft-times noary before histime; we can gueft
alfo of what fize the Atome is, and that it iodines to Gravity; we
can tell to which of the Poles it is fled when warm weather comes; I mean
do more but this, [Part is lent up into the Air commonly called the Cool
Region, and Part; fink into die Earth; that Earth which is aseoolas
Ice. and therefore helps to keep it all the year long for the Palates of the
Delicate. Cold is a Privation of Heat, as Sickijels is a Privation of Health
when One comes, Tother goes, both are pblitive.
9 17. Now Ictus, if we dare enquire, How h has acquitted himfelflor
a Chill Officer, whether he be fid) a Plumbeous Blew-nofcd Planet as
Andquitv marks him. In our Winter Partition we mull not expert that
there falls under h's Dominion more Snow than Rain -, no not in Winter,
1 fay, lor Winters ate moll of them Black, rather than Whi te-, and not
one in twenty intheCoorleofNatUre is lb rigid; and the like is to be laid
in FroftyCouEtodoas; Nature iskiiider than fo to us in this Corner of
the World, ifitbebut for the Travellers lake, and the Bealt under him.
Forhard would be their Condition; if a Horle after 20 Milesrugged way
hardly pafled, might nothavehis ufual Drench out of theBiver: It is
enough therefore that h Ihews his liillen Influence more than S or q,&c.
The Number of the Days we ate to account for, are 401. nidtlicet, from
September 27. to Jkrih}. Now, becaufe Snowisfbunnfometimes lb ear-,
ly, as the end of September, and fo late in the year, as April 25. we cannot
' Took it Ihould Snow every intermediate day upion h "s account, nor come
up to a moyety, as he does mod fairly, If you put Snow and Rain together;

for (b you fliall find under the Style of Rain, mdjlore of Rain, 145 days;
add the yd days for Snow and Hail, and you ha ve a liberal halfof 401.
f 18. To Anotomize this cold Serpent a little further, ifind the Sum-
mer thus, Cold days 51. (without fenfible Frofls) Frofly Mornings 8b,
FroftyConftitutions of the F.ntiredays y4. to which I may add Cold Wind
it. Itistrue, we meet with a matter of do. under the Style ofWarmth,
esprelsly ftch; but then for excefsof Heat, I take notice that we find bbc
3 hot days under this Afpedf, in 30 years under that Divifion, Where
OSober and March, and the greatefl part of _dpr/'/is concem'd. In the
Summer Partition from April 23. to SeptMkr 27. within which Interval^
Snow feldom appears, in England at leatt, wefind hot days 46. and remifs
warm, 24. which may admimder a.5"<rfasalfo rohdt nights, a piece of
a JSaurc. Dill; but even herewe find cold 21. Frqfty Mornings about id.
Cool or Cold remitted, 18. yea, and 3. Frofly days , extraordinary Frolls
mom. and Hail 4. Frofly Mornings in the Month of JUry are frequent, and
fbmetimes they happen in theAfe«b of Aagn;}.
, ^ 19. They thatpleafe to confultthe Table, fliall find what Influence he
hason Winds, Fidry Meteors, Lightning /Thunder ; what upon Fogs,
and Hazy and Dark Air. In the Winter we hear of no Thunder,^but of
Lightning, nnder both Divifions, and in the Summer. Partition about 8b
times Thundering ; we cannot fay that is too much for Sdurn, if we
could confront our Afped with an Afp&fl of 0 and cf upon do years Evi-
dence, (for To many years muft be introduced to equal this of h and ©.)
He fliall find a wide difference; or if that will not Content, then we mufl
begin to leam, that notwithftanding the difference of. the Planetary Cba-
racters, in fbme Signs they may be all alike for Heat, Thunder, ef-r. . paly
we are bound to take Notice, that in the Summer time we meet .Wjtti
Harmful Thunder under this Afpedl 5 yea, and Harmful Lightnings as
fnany times 5 when the Total Sum of Lightning was but 6. of 7. Whe-
ther this mifchief arifesfrom fbme peculiar Caufe difcoverable in the fiir-
therScmtiny of IhatEftaft at fuch time and place-, or Whether it arifes
from the Exafperation of the Heat, according to our ordinary Philofophy?
Which rinay pafs for a reafon alfo till we can get a better, perhaps, why h
and eWught more days ofexcefllve Heatyhan of remifliveWarmth; But
that our 0 and h can do brisk Feats, we have heard before frbm
Epigents.
s> to. Verily f do reckon it a reafon, why we find thrice mention of
Prodigious Hail in the Summer Divifion, and yet Ordinary Hail but twice.:
But we have occafion for the like Obfervatioh, when we come to the Al
^edf of the© andu. In themean time let meoblerve,as to the appearance
of Snow, that it may fall, 'tis true, on the Day, or upon the Skirts of the
Day, upon the preclfe Afpech But again tojuftifie my enlargement of our
Evidence, wefliallfind, that Snow as naturally falls 3,4,5,6, y, yea 10
days from the Afpec'f; Saturn's remote diftance in die Perpendicular con-
tributes to Gold, butitfeemsthatan Obliqu-Angular diftance of thePla-
net does very well 5 but yetunder a reafbnable confinement,within which
h may hear and comply. And this I make no queftion holds in the <f of
©and Ti, with (ome little difference, which here we are not fufler'd to
enquire; For if the d becool, the <P by our Principle, muft be cooler,

X tween fuch Alliances, cannot be thought to oe of any great
Moment, becaufe of their Immenfe Diftance; for What Influence can
there be upon the Ocean, on a (uppofed League between the Thames and
the Straits of MageVan! Mircary is a little Planet, and a Nimble One,
' thereby portending that he cannot be long of a mind, fuppofing he doth
confer to fbme Amity. But we have labour'd before to pofTefs the Enqui-
rer, thatthe very Swiftnefsand Agility of S may not Leflen the Planet
jn account, but rather aggrandife him, feeing the Swiftnefs of his Motion
in its Orb is a probable hint to us, that he had mofl bulinefs to do, which
otherwifej without fuch Agility, could not be difpatched. He muft over-
take the uower Planets, He muft return, and Re-falnte them again; for
for fb it is order'd,that his bufinefs^ow on,even while he goes backward 5
Venus hath done (o before, with d" and h, and S will not ftand our.
S j.Now, as we faid, Venus not being bound to obferve b, S alfois

S j. Yet all this itgnifies nothing, except we obtrude a Charader up-
on the World and tabber about an Influence of Wind and and Rain in
Spring indSummer-cime 5 Wind and Snow in Winter; Wind and Clouds
in Autumn ■, 'Tis M.igixus his Defcription, which I fee others willing to

Wet days with the Sum Total, whether weallow 2 or 5 days, or Tatkit,

our Predeceflbrs give us a Cnart Note or two, for the ufe of the TUmer

atedious Cold feafon,as Appmn hath recorded in Tycho's Frogymnafm. Yet
what great harm that could do, I do not fo readily imagine. But in the
year 1520. W'irarr allures usyhat there happened fuch a Froft in the Month

that though h and S may caufe Cold, as h 7 before it, yet there may
be fbme difference in the Energy, not feldom oblervedj for Froit
and Cold are not ail of a fort, there are Ibme calm Frolts, fome accom-
panyed with chilling Bla/ls; the AfpeiS with s the more Windy Planer,

was Mr. EWfe when he imputed all Frolf to a Wind; of which he is ex-
cellcTitly admoniflied by the Noble Mr. Beyle. And thus may sve Philo-
fbpl ize, if we be put to it, concerning the Winters under this Afpal; for
as for the Frofty Winter Jnm 1682. we may defer that till wecome to

niore minacious; doth more terrible Execution than ufual, not out of die
ftrange Pyrotecnny of the Planets Conftiturion, but, (as in cafe of <2 and
$ Stationary^ from theExcefs or Difproportion of the Emanation,vthicit
makes the ootirfly up beyond all compartlbn.
fi 22. So much in the 1. place for the Warmth, now we have leave Ce
fpeak to the Frigid Planet.Yes farely,if he inclines to theNorth-Wmd.ifhe
inclines to fair Weather, if he inclines to Fog, iftoDryth, andabatingof
' Moifture, a Mifle. a coaliing Showr, if he brings as many Frofts as h,
' he mull be allowed amongft thofe who jullly admit of more Frigid Stars
1 than one. Now that he furthers as manyFrolls, mud be evidenced by
comparing him with h, in hard times, and Whiter Seafons, which will
be done in due place stand fome of thefe ProdudE are apparent from the
Table, m'z, that of Fogandcontradted Moifture, yea fomeFrpft too, and
Cold Winds are found far and near. For the Sums lye thus, Miftyidds
55- Fog 49. in 1010114. Froll 86. Not to lay that D A areall confohant,
true to thefe Stiles notably and fretraently.
f 23. But now—after all Curiolity and minute Search poflible,I find at
laft that All this is, Imayfay, even Accidental to our Planet, i.e. falling
out in cafe of fome Defertion ,* Hiatus ? Co-arSation of Htm, or the Befi, '
or Both to a narrower limit. True it is, that it doth Rain in one plkte ajg
not in another 3 thata Showr coalls the Country, and fingles out, as we'
laid, the Grouiid in which it will Died its Influence, burthen U, forin-
ftance, a Star Potent enough at Lakerty, when rejlrained or forfakep, can
do no more, thanhecando, can reach no further than a Topical Showr.
The Planets bode a Showrmany times, when they give warning alfo, that
it fhall be Topical, confined to a Pagilh, to an Hundred, to a Wapentaley
yeatoonefideof anHoufe, and not another: Qn the fame account tve
make the World believe we 1 can tfell when a Meteor will Flare, and
delcribe an Arch like a Flaming Arrow in the Air, and when it will
out of afUdden, as an Arrow^ when near the Ground upon Sight, fxel;
the fame is our reafon for Hail, we fee fome Watry Meteors will be pro-
duced, andyet wefee not vigowenough to iecure their freezing.
9 24. When I thus argued therefore, Jm produceth Fog, but Fog is 3
Dew with fome degree of Congelation, to makeit vilible, ergo, Jove is
Cold, I cobfider the Dewand the Congelation are 2 things,, the ope may
proceed froth the Scars, and the other from the Nitrous Atoine, whichis
ready to break in, (being kept out tw main Force) on all occafioos, where
the Planetary Watch doth noc diftorb.it, as in all Warm Weather
it doth; the Planets do noc emit this Atome, butatprefen'tthey are not
In the Capacity to Expatiate and hinder its Iqtrufion.

a Frigid Pladet, much after the famemanner as h is, which the Antients;

Evidence we build, Sept. 19. A°i66i. after a fad Rain and South-Weft

This Froft we muft know began on Sept.30. and there the Froft feems, to
owe it felf to the Application to Jupiter for that day, but thegrandReafori
which holds for all thofe days concerned, is the crotding of 5 of the Pla-

AD this while we make not Colda meer Privation, but Politive being,not
as pure Darknels, but as a Mift. &c. which will be fiire to incroach where
a mfficient Heat doth not difpel it.
i 29. All this conrtlls with my Fancy, that a Lucid Warm Body, which
cannot marter a Cold Conftitution, may add fome advtmitim Strength to
it, as we have often laid, and attempted to illuftrate by experiments; fee
i 14,when a J<rve may be concerned, for though he carry Lightning in bis
Face, yet he is a Tame, Cold GLm-amn in his Retitemenis, as to our in-
feriour Regions; neither mult welmagine his Hrradiation to be Idle. He
may tickle the Cold Atome below, and help to Inflame upwards. So
have we feen Comets appear in Frolly Winters.
iS 30. I wont rtretch too far, and fay that our Planet upon this account
may agitate the Cold Atome more than Saturn, becaufe of its nearer Situ-
ation, and as to fight, a greater Diameter; what difference then may be
in Frorts, I fmell not 3 fome are purejnd have a fuitable PertiitaCy 3 others

produce a jud Moidure, a Point elfe where to be proved.
131. Thus have I obferved and meditated: the Reader perceives fome
difficulty depending, lead about, what I could to difcover the Temper of

every pretty Come-off; forthenallTemperateAir (liould be Serene, and

$ 2. Serenity carries the Name, becaufe of its Bright and Lovely Sky.
Colour'd Coat, whence, though it is not fo frequent as could be wilh'd,
yet it is more obferved, and mentioned with more regard.
P 3. But, what do they mean. Serenity mixt, or pure? Not the Pure
and Bright Gonflitutlon, I fear, when a Man, even in the Northern Cli-
mates cannot dilceroa Cloud, or lb much as a Lock of a Vapour through
rhe whole Canopy: Nor the Glorious inviting Face Of Heaven, where
the Aiureis inter-fpread with Bright Clouds, repreffing the Light from
their Airy Surface. But Fair Weather in a large Sence as 'tis oppofed to
Dirty, when the Heaven may be, notwithftanding, tinged vvithFog, or
overcah with a Cloud adequate to the whole, when the Air may Lowr,
and be Muddy at times, lb it rain not; This, with Serenity llridlly call'd,
may betheFair Weather which VShd 9 havealhare in, andarevoie'd
for fitch.
P 4. On this account I reafoned with my felf, as I have declared already,
which here,upon thispoint(hrted,may berentembredagain,concerhing the
Planets Influence. If it be fo that U caufe Fair Weather, muft not X be
of a Dry Complexion rather than aMoift? Muft not he be Dry, if he be
Parent of Dry Weather? Dry, as well as Temperate; and IbCoulaS
vvellas.Dry.
4 5. Verily, I look'd thatthe Aftrologer Ihould have profefs'd that an
Alpeffof ip with S Ihould have favour'd Cold alfo, and that, by Force
of Evidence from his Diary.
P 6. This I will lay for them, that they do not pretend that U and 9
do remit or abate the Cold of Winter, as U with ©, and S with 9
doth; And 'tis fome wonder that V- and cf, notwithftanding their allow'd
abatement of Cold.in Winter-time, Ihouldby co.Teffion (as welhallhear)
bringHailorSnowatpeculiartimes, andyetU,9 tendnothingthereto.
4 7. This gives occalion to produce our Diary, to enquire there, and
from thence if it may be, deduce the Truth of our Pretences to Gold, and
to Serenity, or the contrary.
P 8. For now, the Nature of our Enquiry being fuch, as inReilbn
abridgeth the Diary to fewer Degrees far, than hitherto hath been made
tile of; Greater Arches in the Heaven beingconcemedinaStorm,than in
a Calm; In Hot Weather,thenin Cold; We lhall have the more Liberty
to call in All, or moll of the Afpedis, not for any other realbn, but to
fettle and confirm the Character of the Afpedl either Pw or C»».
P 9. To tell you before hand, what I have found by Experience before
the Tables are introduced, when All comes to All, theAfpeClsof Uand
'9,though they favour Cold and Serenity in fome meafure.yet they are illb
Slippery AfpeCls, will Fawn and Frown: I do notfpeak of bringing Cbld
in Winter, and Heat in Summer-time, but they will bring yon Cold and
Heat, Calm and Storm, (not at one Inllanr, but) in the fame Term, in

he that will not be aftiamed of his Prognoftick of Fair Weather, muft hot
pronounce abfolutely on Jove and Venui's Square, but with the limitation
prelbribed; I would rather urge this, becaufe when the Artift promife-
Fair Weather, , and Rain takes place, the Miftake is fooler , and more piti-
able,than when declaring for Rain it fucceedeth not: Becaufe there may'
be a Fog, yet an overcaft, a pregnant Cloud, of a lowring Sky for a while,'
that may make fome weak Apology for the miftake. But wnen Rain ap-'
pears, after a man of Skill has promifed fair Weather, Expe£iation is fru-
ftrate,the Journy or Vifit is defeated, fo All who meant to enjoy the pfivi-
ledgeof diefmilingday, turn , their Anger they conceived againft the'
fpitefiil Heavens upon the Sciolifi. Therefore let them atterid the Afpeft,
if they pleafe, whofoever are curious this way, but withal carefully infpaft
how the Planets concerned are accomfanycd^ how therrjf.are pofited;
If, with the neareft, there's one Rtquifii good, which we call co-arRttim
of place; if, with thefartheft, above 30 degrees diftance fuppofe, then
there's a id. Requifite, which we call an Hyaw, or Vacant Sign. Some
oihaPunRillio's there are(but thefeare the main)where we may pronounce
Dry or Fair Weather, and fo pleafe himfelf, and his Client.
s> 21. We need not multiply Examples, the Rule is mod part perpetual;
I add that the fame Method is to be obferved for the Prediction of Froft,
whether for the - Day, or for the Mom at leaft 5 the Reafbnis, becaufe
few Fair or Dry Days are found in the Hyeml part of the Year, which
are not accompanyed with Morning Frofts. Such were the dayswhofe
Dryth was now conlidered> A° xfiyj. Dec. 18. for the Hycmtl Table.—
And A" itftfo.AjjMo, 31. forthe«yds/<W.

pedt of it S, 'biit 'tis more Angularly good with this Afpedt U.? ,
having greater kindnels for fair Weather, For fome fuch reafon as we have
ventur'd at; oribr fome Better.
r $ 23. To draw to theCharadter then, They, who follow Magim^rgol,
'Adrianyitcq ,tell you nothing sf Violence. They talk of gentle Rains, and tell
you of abundance (forfootnj of Fertility, as if 9 were always a good Girl.
But wehave feen her Spirit in the preceding Afpedts, with0 ore? at leaft;
and oft-times ftie is the fame when me refledls on U ,fo that not only Gentle
Windsor Rains.butHigh andfinart alfo ftie procureth:Yea,and I (hould add,
you fee Thunders and Lightnings, had no body laid fo as yet. But well
fire Eichflad, who hath find it before me.

Road, Serene, and Fair, and gentle breathing Wind, butapttoworfe.to
Frown and Muffleher felf to put on her Mafque in a Fog or a Muddy Air.
She Favours alfo Cold andFfoft, butfo, as ftie is eaftly alterable to fign
the contfary. N6w fince from Heat comes all Violence, fheraifes the
Wind fometiaitt, and fparkles in Lightning. Difference you muft think
there is in the Polls, Degrees, and difference of Afliftance, and fo it comes
about.

Afpe&s, and therefore not proper to the jovial. I anfwer, neither fo
fudden, nor foconftant. An <P © <? in Winter Months lhall not bring
Frofts fo often as it and 9 oppofed. Surely nota □ or a A it may be, fo
much as ours. Our Eyes teach us fome difference of U' and .9 from

the Water-is feen to run up in a Body through an Airy Cylinder, as if it
were one of Archimedes's Engines. Who fays 'tis done with a Whirlwind,
may fpeak Truth, but doth not ceafe to wonder, I hope. For if a pro-
found Kortexof Air by its Force, though not by its Denfity, can prop up
a Lakeof Waters in theAtmofphere', how can it infinuateit felfinto the
Profundity of the Sea, to bear up (iich a quantity into its unnatural place ?
But lanfwer, tis an Immune Force, for (b we read at home, as well as
in France, that Whirlwinds have torn up Trees, nay, andremoved them?
twilled the T runks fo torn, and folded up the Leaden Coverings of Chur-

Immtne illuftrious Bodies over our Heads. Here is not only 4 of It and
9. which may be, has got fome repute now, butalfoan if of b and cf;
of which Complicate Congrefs you have had fome late great Examples.
This we do not to foreftall that Afpeft when it comes,but to prepare us for
it, and to do fome kind of Right to U and 9. I tell ycu t'other
Story, from Lyc. Feb. 10.1548. /« Saxoxit huh Ctlcjlis •vifu in aliqnot

ded by an Afpeft of h and d" ; the laftwason rf", and this a 5 Firing of
Magazines is ordinary; we have 4 or 5 Inftances.
> 14. Our Eyes opened by fuch Inftances, made me affirm that it and
9 carryed Lightning in their Faces. They have a Nitrous Afpeft, which
helps to thequicknels of the Flame, efpeciallyU; for 9 teems to have
a more undluous Creamy Flame; as I fancy in the Brighter TrajedHons,
while the Smaller Meteors look red and coalilh, but no Trajedtion me-
thinks refembles if.
P 15.1 am not engaged to difcourfe the Thunderball whichentred the
Church, nor of theremarkable Chance, that at the Very time,the Dif-
courfe of the Dodtor was concerning Spirits. The Vulgar are apt to make
wrong Confequences from fuch Premifes. Divine Wifdom had reafon
fo to do, it may be, to convince fome Sceptical Auditors from fuch co-
incident Circumftancesi
P 16. More is it to my purppfe, todelireyou to obferve what Dr. Dee's
Ephemeris tells us, That the tax ardent was feen under V , of the lame
Altitude (in refpedi of the Horizon) and Longitode. 'Tis a great Note,lard
I have often obferved the like to my great fatisfadlion and convidlioh,with-
out any hem given from the Annotation. Where note that the diftance
of U and 9 at that Meteor, Mir* Longitadinis, as he calls it, wasCo-
metical; the fame I mean,as is found oft-times,when Cometsare produced 5
becaufe we are next to fpeak of Tiem.
js 17. Now leaft any (hould think the Diftance of our Planets, here ob-
ferved, is unreafonable wide, I lhall offer an Inftance in Eel. 7. St. No.
1617. where a and S are 28 degrees diftant on the day when it Light-
ned, and a great Fireball is noted by Kepler: and anfwer, I lliould have
thought fo too, but that I find again in Fel. 12. 1641. a Thunder, noted
whenlfwasin vr 29.2nd S in ~ 15.1 acknowledge This is not (a wide a di-
ftance. But do not the Winters Thunder in the lame Felruary, near the
lame day in the fame Signs, though not quite the fame diftance, argue
lomewhat for us ? It muft needs do lb. For U and 5 are found in thefe
Signs but once in Twelve year, and twice in 24 year; we find fuch
Pofidons to Thunder in Felruary. Is there no Contribution then toward
fuch an unftafonable Tumult? Never let us diftance it-, no, notatthe Di-
ftance of 28 degrees, fince'tis the fame diftance as is noted for Turbulent,
under the Notion of One Planet at the entrance of a-Sign, and another
at theQafe: Yea, note again a good time that vr and » in Felruary, as

dence more from A'lSag. in the Thunder at Mechlin; that Mechlin which
is noted twice ibr the lame Meteor in our Table.
$ 18. But what (hall we do for the III. Ccrfo Santos} for I (hall with the
Vulgar Mariner abroad, take them to be Saints too, bpt for the Dimnefs
of their Light, and perhaps their Superfluous Number, iftherebenoNa-
turalcaufe for them, more than the working of the Ship, and the Pitchy
Efflitviaof the Board and Tackle 5 for then in ail mighty Storms they
would be confpicuous^nd fo difabufe the diftreifed Seaman from his Su per-
ftition, but feeing'tis not fo,, there is tome more fecret difpolitionof die
Air toward the Generation 6f fuch Lights. I am willing perhaps to re-
duce it to other Afpefts but when I obferve the Situation of our d in
H and nr, I cannot exclude our Configuration. Some Obtervers, nicer
than I, would take fome notice of an Inftance ofHarnclefs Thunder, Great
yetHarmlefs, #1589. Andagain, Harmleh Earthquake. Wellfarethe

ferve'iisa <S firft, which is lefs Violent than an rf". Secondly , 'ds in Sa-
litary Afpefts, for when others are in place where, Thunder is Jlannlefs,

Now for Comets. 5 19. How? Stella Ntroa, A 1572. among them? Do
we make no more ofit then thanfo ■' As beforep. 313.that's a nevvDevice,
and a bold one.Ricciolus ismore wary,who treated] of them apart with grea-
ter Caution; I anfwer, He doth well, and fo doothers it may be. But
who can help it, ifa new Star degrades it feif fo far as to appear in the
company of a Meteor; He muft ftand to all hazards, and come by feme
difgrace thereby, unlels he hath fomewhat tofliew of a higher Original ;
Even the cafe aunoft of theGoofe zndtheStvan, if the Swan can fliew no
more thana longer Neck, He may be takenfor the lame Species. There-
abouts lies the Decifion.
f 20. But before we come to this,let me feparate the Meteors, theCo-
mets, Khould fey, of this Table, into two forts, erewhile upon a <S,
othetwhileuponan <p of our Planets 5 perhaps the new Star in Caffisfeia
will make fome amends for the Readers Patience. Go to then; Therirft
Conjunflional Comet noted, hanpens to (hew it felf in <51, and tend to
*2. 1506. Comets with us, and with every man elfe^re nothing but the
Efflmia of thePianetary Bodies,at fuch times,a nd at fuch Pofmons,as are apt
to make fuch Impreflions. And fay from our Table 5 Isnotour d U 2 in
in the Sign m, Grad. 12. 9 Grid. 20. %. Shall we before thedne nme
give you the whole of this Comet where the Star firft appeared 3 We lhall
but betray his Original, for Q h and 5 are in <51,U and 9 in m, (Jin
an intermediate Sign. Are we not taught that the Comets palled
from III. Planets to E then as the Train lay, from <51 to v*. And did it
notfirlllhew it ftlfdu^.S. when the } came to fortifie <J by Oppolidon?
You will fey I afcribe it to AH; very good: arid therefore I prove it of
each. Atprefentof d U 9, and that in nt. Now this Comet appea-
red upon ConjunBions moftly, bin one Oppo/ition, and that Lunar. It
comes into my head, that thefe Conjundtional Comets, generated by
meer ConjunBions, I lay, for the mod part ate but (hortliv'd. Thislafted
but its Week.
Now, ifany^otexercifed in the Dodlrine of the Sphear, Ihould ask me
how this Meteor Ihould be feen, being in the lame Sign with e, the
Globe will inform him, that though the parts ofthe Sign near the Eclip-
tick, or the 0s place, let with the®, yet in the Horizon of Lurepe, the
more Northern parts nearer the Ediptical Pole, never defcend under the
Horizon, A great Notandm for thole who take Pleafure, to obferve tha

that in the Sign X 5 yea, was not the laft in ? Which every body knows

not only a Single a3 of 0 U but a Triple cP U to ©, S and 9 in $

Eaftem Magi and it ftilllhines in Records, illuftrated by the Noble 3>

Theory of the Heaven over us. 'Tis this Star claims to know his Kin-
dred, Family and Original; for we are far from believing ita Starof the

whether it haveaTrainor no; Though who knows, as feme ingenious
Men have quatried, whether it may not have Ibme Train upward into the

Stupendious as it is,depends upon thisCeledial appearance, ,9 or 5 with
Hi. Thofe who believe that Comets have Influence upon Earthquakes,
which is an opinion hovering about,and bordering upon Truth, may think
I believe no ImprobabiIities,(ince,our Bright Planets U and 9 do not much
ablude from fome kind of Comets. Yet why (hould I trifle ?
. Is it not plain, that for feveralyears our Planets are both in the fame
Sign,what have we but a <S of Uand05, A" 1809.1879.1845.1880
. In like manner a d of U and 9, J 1530. 1839. t88t. within the fame

- 9 36. But the tf out-goes the d, and there's reafoa for It 5 witnefs A"
1569. 1580. 1838.1638. which is alfo vifible in theComplicatjons, for
whereas there are but Three on the Conjundlional fide, viz. A' 1339.
1811.1850. the Oppofitions are more, A? 1508. 1556. 1580. 8591.
1828. 1828, 1629.
. For if "4 and 9, or 3 have their Effedl, it dands to reafonas we
hive faid, that U ? o»d5 have fomething more. So thefe Earthquakes
Yyyy may

may be reduced to their Claffis,as v.ellas tlie Storms and the Lightnings.
j ^y.Here I mud note again,pjrCuanc to what hath been faid already in
the like Notion, that in the a1, the wider is tlie di(hince,((b it be with,
in compafs) the greater is the Difpolidon of Firing the Saiin/Mm
Train in the Earthquake, as before the yEthcrial Train of the Cower.
Thereforeasitmayoe confefs'd, an Earthquake fltould be produced at y
degrees or Sdiftance; fo'tis more than podible it (hould be produced at
14. gr. diftance, as in the fecond Inftance of A° 1580. oratao gr.difl as
in the Kantift Earthquake, A' jJstf. And fomewhat yet further, as the
Enquirer into particulars will obferve.
f 38. We cannot define for certain which Sign of Heaven, or Monti i;
in the year are moft apt to produce Earthquakes Our Information from
our Fore-fathers being defeaive, even as Ricctolus juflly complains, about
Comets,part. 2. M?- 23,24. but this we fay,that Stand w are fometijnes
remarkable; as may be feenin the Caribmn Earthquakes, A° 162S, and
JulyW, in both which years Vand S were fo near the fame Pofid-
on, that a Candid Reader will ftartle at the Obfervation. For how ? (aith
he, a it/Earthquake at theend of 12 years, which is known to be U's
Period ? then't is li kely that U is one ofthe Inftruments of tha tMocion. And
withal doth it happen, faith he, to be in the/amc place in hth years;
Then 'tis probableagain that 9 in fuch a degree of the Zodhck, confpi.
ring with certiun others, is endued with the Cimemotive faculty.
S> 30. Tdfeehow Truth will jullifie it felf, not only as to the General,
that thefe Tremori of the Earth are imputable to the Heavens, out that
thefe Afpcfls wherein we are at prefent engaged, are their Caufes Effici-
ent, for the News from Naples in theGazet. OSok. 1685. the Iriftant
on which I write, tells us, that Sept. 23. OS. j. their Mountain f'efuviut
within thefe few days began to burp again, cafting out Flames and Afhes
with a Terrible noife, and the laft moiety of the Month; What are the
Afpects but a d of U 9 and ! ? Shall I gratifie our Friends LesSeamns
in Fare, and fo clofe this tedious difcourfe. 'Tis not much out of thd
way, they tell us that the City of Fare owns but two Earthquakes the
Firft, April6.15So. and the other iffay 12.St. Af 1682. In tlie firil Earth-
rke, O and s are at the end ofv, and 9 is upon the Pleiae/et. In
Second, 5 isattheendof v, and 0 and 9 very near the Fkudet. I
could makean abfolute Rale of it, but this place don't allow me to run
upon thereft of the Parallel .Tn 102 years fomewhat ofthe fame Revolu-
tion may come about.
P 40. Concerning the Parelia, though we lhall fee them happen under
other Afpefls, yet the Revolution of this Afpedt, co-incident with
the Variety of the Appearance, doth befpeak the curious to make further
enquiry; we cannot heredigrelsabcut the matter which reflefls the Lighr,
whether the Vapor be Dry, or Icy, as DeUanes juftly imagines; only
we fay. the Luftre reflefted is not meerly Solar, but borrow from feme
other Afiral Radiations ;for though theSecondary Sunsmuft by courfeof
Nature be left brave and bright than the chief L uminary, yet i t doth not
always prove fo, they fay -, Upon no other accout lure, but upon that of
other Luminous Bodies, which help to advance the weaker Reflexion.

will undertake the trouble of their Confutation. Yet I muft needs own

9 can call a Shadow by her felf; But then why an inverft Shadow ? I could
fpeak to that,but I wonnt gralp too much. For thelridesour ForeinDia-

< 43, I lhall not pleafe my felf in (peaking to the Cumnts under this
Afpedl, but fliall refer it to a Further place. Only myldleHead asks
the queftion about the White Milky-Waters, what maybe the Realbn;
and becaufe, I confefs, I hive a Months mind to impute its appearance
to the Heavens. ForFirft, it is but an appearance, though laftingfor a
Night or fo; at Day Light it vanilbeth. If it were any_ mixture of any
WhitifliFfr»;rat,it would befenflefsto think of amEtherialProcurement.
But the Field is too large for any fuch Mixture, the Ship being under Sail
all the time of its Obfervation.- hence there is no thinking of any
Inch SAva. We lhail therefore confider next, whether this appearance
is obferved at any times moreremarkable than others, as to the Heavenly
Politions; and i f that proves, we may next confider,whether it be Non-
fenfe to fay, That the Heaven may own fuch EffeCis on the Water, as it
hath in the Air.' The Sun can G«fW the Clouds, and the ) can paint
them with a Pole hue: The others, we fee, can make their hides and
Halo's-, yea, helptotheColouring ofa Solarand LunarOne, Whymay
not this M'feu® hue of the Water bean Impreflionfrom U and 9,and
others^nalogically to the appearance of the Halo ? AsforthePofition, It
and 9 are extraordinarily circumftantiated, by relation one to the other,
and by the Station of I'emts each of the 3 days fpecified, A' 1617. Yea, j1'.
1616. I have met with the fame appearance before, U and 9 not in tf
t'tis truej but in a □ Aipe<ft,which is a chance that calls for our Attention;
U and 9 have Brightnefs enough to make a NeBiluca of the Sea, and all
agreeableto thole Principles,which theIVowi/r Author of that Difeonrfe
advanceth. We lliall fee further, it may be, and if I (peed here, I (hall

Phyfical and Hyphyfical Agents in the Affair. But of this hitherto y
only for the Truth of the Phenomenon, if you defire the Jewifh Hillory,

you have among the AntientsS. Gregory, if the Moderns, Melanchtan,

to defeat Natural,but onljr unite them, and make them agree; thereby
confirming us in theRaiional belief of that good Record, which tells
Stories of Spirits, making ufe of Nature for natural Efledts, fuch as

affords. Nor mull it be argued that we have laid as much before of

may all (hew their Vehemencies, and yet be dillinguidied by him who

to alien, do not break in fo often under this Afpefl, as under fome o-
thers. Yet, fo it haps that the Three Firlt In/lances of this Table are
folely concerning Flouds. The Afpedt with 9 mud carry away the name
forFlouds; fometimes with 0; ibmetimes with 9 but mod with d.
That T; and d may fometimes wet their Feet, or wade deep into the

and it are the Signs, for the mod part, where a Floud appears under h d,
being the Equinoctial Signs.
Next, it may not be amils fo fee whether; when a Floud happens under
our Alpedl, an Afpetft of d or 0 with 9 be not as Paramount thereas
T> d can be? Iffoplie Effad mud rather be imputed to that Caufe which
oftner obtains 5 though he who hath the fewer Votes mud not be exclu-

the main procurer of the Eft'edl. The Rain and Snow which'centributed

it mfi; grant it : And',it is haul. It may inaSenfe be fo. But here is
Room for Religion : For God can Deliver, even in Fatal Dangers. A
Danger that is unavoidable, adventum; SluoniiEventm,a«t exitum,
mayhe fafely pafTed. A Storm is Fatal, and the Mariners know that fitch
a timeof year in fuch a Reach, it muft be Tempeftuous. But then by

nie live Religioufly , mt in hopes, it may be, that God will never fend a
Storm; butthat in cafe of fitch danger, I may 1 Veatber it. There'sFruiC
enough of Religion ; yea, in cafe of Shipwrack, If I come fafetoLand;

as to be an Enemy to Religion; then I lay we pretend to nothing but what
is clear and confefled; even by the Vulgar themfelves, but that they are.
not ufed to fpinning of new Condufions from a Plain Thread, viz. that
the times of the year unfeafontbk , are unhealthy. That an exeefs of
Heat, even in Seafon, much more out of Seafon, is dangerous to all Bo-
diet This Diftemper proceeding from the Planet, which the Vulgar
themfelves,, that can fpell the Wotd, will not deny. Nothing hinders but
that'an Afpedtof the Superiour Planets may be reckoned moreorlefs
dangerous at certain times. Foggy Air is umvholfom; Harvefttimeis
obnoxious to Feavers; and a Hoc May makes a fat Church-yard. Put

of thofe, who dipping upon this place, perhaps .maybe ant to condemn

though the greaternnmber of the Days be free from it.

net hath moft Prevaleney, aod why? becaufe if Jime prevails, happy go
lucky: but if Jprevail, then come Droughts and Sicknels. and Alia Mala
(ubmuntur. To which I fay, I hardly acknowledge U and cf to bea
Weighty and Dire Afpedf, I may fay,- and I fear others will be of my
Mind before we have done. But I underftand not the Mamareth, or He-
vatioo of the Arabs 1 or ifl do, I fee not the fuicable difference of the
Effea: Fortitudes and Dignities of Planets, are Terms not to he wholly
exibilated; for a Planet abme the Horizon is more Jrang than below; Of
Northern Ladtnde they fay more firong; than the Southern, concerning
which in another place. But yet. as they are vulgarly caught (1 fpeak as to
out Affair) They are tcf me JguicltSands, I find no Footing. This I was
willing to do ; what Ptolemy aod Others fpeak of Dominion of a Planer,
toapply it to a <S, or fomegreat Afpefi, <f or □, andl fbnndit 10 ac-

or will be ever made out: The Eifedis which we teach have a mturd de-
pendance on their Caufes; as Rain depends on Heat, as the Colour of the
Rainbow depends on Light.
915. But to make amends,for Sickly Seafons,Accute Dileafes,arc,which
Magims adds, Let the Learned World pardon me, if I do.again avert it,
and iirike the Nail homer yet, than I have done already, with all fafety to
our moft Holy Religion, arid the blefled Author of it
y 16. For is it not Argument to fay, God made ai things
Good (i.e.) conformed to his own Mw; riiercforc, there is no .Makfiq/dt
Creature? Nottoeaquirecuriouily, what fJiould have been the natural
Courfe in the Inmeent State,we fsjo;off our Apoftacy and Rebellion towards
God, and fo we believe with Simides, that Fire and Teeth of Wild
Beafis, and Stings of Serpents were made for Vengeance; that the Sun
may now burn us by Day, andthe 5 annoy us by Night; that the Stars
of Heaven may be Worr.-med, and have a bitter and unkind Influence.

Solitary, for Methods (ake, in Nature mere not Id 3 when they mounted
fo high as to produce isxtresaiitiet, they were united and backed with
Equal ■, yea, with greater AfpeSs than themfelves. It being an undoubted
Truth that the Afpefls of the Supermrs, the Pure Superiour Afpeits, are
of
 PmeT of Suferior Con jig, demonjlrated. Book III;
of mrefigMl, more MajelHck Influence, then the Pure Inferiours; or
when a Superiour is mingled with one below him. For, as, belide the
Vote of Holy-Writ, it is apparent that in an Elephant or IVhok, the
Power of God is more llupendioufly Teen in the very Bulk and Dimenfloni
of the Animal, and the Propottionable Strength lb is it among the Ce-
leftial Bodies, the Congrefles and Oppofitions, &c. oftheSuperiourss the

dare convince Lytafihenes of a flip, who poft-pones that wet Spring to

ofwhich Slips there are too many, faving the great nfefolnefs of the De-

there are more obvious means by comparing other Records.1, &c.

'tis more apt to forget it felf by overtopp'mg its Hounds to a more furious
Eruption. Somewhat to this purpofe I have laid before,' difcourfing of
the Tides, and their encreafe. I gather my proof at prefent from the
Hour of thelnvafion, which was, faith Crh/ihue, in that of 1530 at
Noon, gt which time, not the 0 alone, but and cf with him, were
on the Meridian .* this railed and difrurbed the Waves to that unpfevienti-
ble Height, as they overflowed All, though the Spring-Tide wanted twb
Hours of its Height. And thus much for aTocch at Flouds and Deluges.
. V 44. Now, remembring that I make it, in lome Cafes, a Refifter of
Moifiurel maybe asked how he comes to beaDoudingPlanetfAsbyoiir
Table it appears ; lanfwer, The Charafferof the Planet is not to be
drawn from the extraordinary Pbfition. There are fome Mmftrm Po-
fitions in Heaven, where you may not know what to fnakeof theCelefti.
alBody, unlefs you define it by liny: There happens a certain irritation
fometimes amonglt thefe Celeflials,w herein they leem to differ from their
ordinaryTemper: U mayalfill or abate the M'oifl Influence of this or
that Planet, but you mufl: not imagine He can give Check to them All-,
He may deal with one, be it d it felf ■, He cannot oppofe an Army:
When they are indifferently inclined, he grudgeth the Moifl effeft. He
can crumble a Showr into a Drifle, or Dull it into a Fog, &c. But when
they are in a heighmed elevated Eftate, He is fcjfar from Moderating,
that heAggrivates theEffedl; fo a Good Horfeihan, by a feafbnable
Check, prelerves his Beafl from ftumbh'ng; and in a greater Hazard,
wherehe cannot recover that Stumble, his own Weight adds to his Fall.
. We met with fome few Flouds under U and s, and fbme under it and
9, and more, now, under U with <5 . Ail we can conclude hence, is,
that thisljtter Afpedf is more apt to excefs of Rain, than the two former,
which muff be granted, as by his Prerogative above 9 and S. But.a truly
Moid. Influence condilcechto a kindly, as well as a llolrnt Moifture; as
id d and 9, 9 and S, © and 5 , &t. is manifeft. TheObjeftidri Tie af-
fureyou, is no furprize; for lalwaysobfery'dit, thlt U is the only Pla-
net of a Singular Speculation; where he cannot prevail, he doth as the
reft; and being a Superiour, adds no frhall Weight to the ProdudHon. I
Call a Moujlhus Pohtiori, Tuch as Firft,is not Tranlitory, bur lafting, and
that, of tedidus, extrdrdinary, unmeafurable. Length. Secondly, I call
tliat Monftrous, which within the term of its duration, mixes and incor-
porates it felf with Afpedts of the fame Excefs and Fury. On thd Fifft ac-
count all the Superiour Afpedts are concerned , becaufeof th'eir line dura-
tion,from whence it comes to pafs, that whenfoever the laferiours, fuppofe, -
dfe jet foe extraordinary Rain, they being nor expired, fall in with the
reft, and where they light,they fall heavily. On the fecondaccount,which
is the next notion (for Moriftrofi.ty oft-times is founded in Mixture) we
find our prefent Afpedf, of it felf not fo furious, for excels of Wet, bur
where he is mixed with Configurations of <3, of as great Inclination. So

muft have its ill difpofition from the Waters, as the one not Potable, fo
the other rsotTotaile alib, for the Lungs and Spirits do draw as well as
the Stomach; I would it were as eafieTor Them to obferve the Afpedf of
the Superiour Planets, that they may be cautious under them, and learn

have abated in Proportion; but 'tis fome other more particulardifpofition
of that Wofnl year tfidy. Hoivbeit in the midlt of OSoier , it re-
mitted by 1800 again, in <f though ftill; yet upon leaving the/Edival
Signal, (which Signs Aidivalare the Ltfr of the Death, theVigourand
Sting, ncxtto Sin,) is the caufe of all: Here I obfefved, that if it had
abated a 1000, per week by Xwrmlxn midlt, there (hould have been but
twohundred, or fay 3. or 460 Funerals; but in the midlt of Nov. we find
1300. and the following gzo. becaufe, in my opinion . the Afpefl was
not difengaged till that time; Then it was, and lo! the Week was content
witha prettyrealbnable andordinarySumofjcoandodd. To thembe
it, who make ill ufe of thefeDifcourfes, who can believe a Prime Caufe,
and yet admit no fecond, or will not Worfliip him, unlels he adls by Mi-
racle. No man ieems to mngnifie the Deity, morethan an Enthafajfi
but the Sober Principle refilling no Light, Loves and fears God as He is,
apdashelliews himlelf, not ridiculous either to Chriltians, orHeathens.

Claritas Septeutrionalis, which happening in the Night time, cannot then
arife from the © alone. As to the greater appearance of the Farelia, and
Parafele/ix, we have here a confidprable number, a Vodecade of fuch Ra-
rities:andfuch aNumber,in fpite of fate,proves they have fome dependance
on the Afpedinhandjhoweverwe caft about to mike it out..The great Jo-
feph Scaliger on Eufeltm, was engaged by his Argument to give; us (onte
Chronological Notes of thefe Phenomena but he fcarce tells us the fdopth,
much lefs the Day : A Fault that more are guilty of, befides him, having
no Opinion of Geleftial Philofophy. We do not trouble our felves here
about their fignification, Frmond modeflly takes off Gemma for his Va-
nity in that refpeft 5 Hepropofes perhaps, his own Fancies for fending
Rules. They can't well reconcile Arijotle, and others, who make the Fa-
reliayo be the Forerunners of Tempeftsand Showry Weather,, with Dtf-
Cartes his opinion before commended of a Solar Reflexion from fome Icy
Particles, which at that time may hang in the Air. For nothing hinders
but that mch'Particles may hang in a cold clumfie Air, as well as a Sheet
of Snow, 'tis certain, floats before'tis portion'd into Flakes. Secondly,
becaufel well remember that upon the report of three Sims feeri at Ox-
ftfdom certain day.befpre noon, which I neither had hap to fee, nor yet
to record; I took notice that the morning was cold: Nor does any of
thefe appearances fhew themfelves at Sea, out under a chill Latitude. 5o
by a good token Scaliger tells,us that his Hollanders faw it in theLathude of

have owned, and lhall farther prove, of a Dry and Cold Energy.

Tindhiress Now the Refolution of thefe Mites in fome may be more ea-
fie, in others more difficult; as a Bloudy Showr fuppofe, is moreeaiie,
than that of Milk; in that the Red Earth may be more refolvable into
Minims, than a Whitt Ghil^, or Marile. That which is more eafily diP
lolvable, as inChymifts Operations, is content with a gentle Heat; that
which is more difficult, reciuireth a keener Flame. Now the Afpefls differ
like the Chymiffs Fire: wherefore thefe rare appearances belong to the
Stronger Fires, the glowing of the Superiour Heats. For raining of Allies
we own them, perhaps, to be nothing elfe but the defcent, in a calmer
Air, of what was before taken up by a Turbulent •• as in the Arenadt, if
we remember; but thefe appearances found only under the Superiour Ai-
pedis, do commonly argue a more intimate Influence into the Effedl, not

jS 8. My Reader would, I fear, be at a lofs, if I (hoiild tranferibe the
Chara&er of this Afpeft from our Elders, as from CortUn , the Congrefs
' of h andu,faith he, as to the qualities of the Fixed^nd the iSigns, where
' it happens, does effrS the Air for nuny days with fair Weather, or Ralp
' or Winds, Cmment. in FtoL if the Luminaries at lead be Afpefled. &
he not almoft ridiculous f But that he hath a Stlvo from the Sign and the
Fixed Stars which determine the Dis-junSm. Rigitmunttnus faith, For
' mtny days before and after, it brings a great Drought in v at t the Fiery
'Signs-, and in Watry Signs, smx, it brings Rains, Flouds, Inundati-
' ons, & Ptrtitvhtrii Dibmia. This is very well, But then in Aerial
Signs, I hope, it brings Winds, in n eiss. in Earthy Signs, Froft and
Snow, tsnrsy. Regtimont dareifot fay fo of this, whatfbever he hath
faidof an Afpeft in General. Moginus is as cautelous, confenting as to
the Drought and Floods.- but palBng by the other Moiety of the Deno-
mination of the Signs, He comes to the Quarters of the year; and tells
' its that. In Spring it brings turbid Clouds, and moid Air; In Summer,
Hail and Thunder. In Autumn, Winds and Rain ; In Winter, Turbid
Air again. Tagliatozzo accords, only he reflrains the Turbid Conftituti-
on to the Spring,the Hail to the Summer.the Rains and Flouds to Attmhj
and the Turbid Air in Winter , to the Humid Signs only, in which
the other feems to be indifferent, regardfiig only the Diverfity of the
Seafons; Eichfttd, afttr all, (He went by his own experience) ventures not
on the ptemiffes or their variety, but afferts, though not from hisown ex-
perience (what I donow from mine.) that h and U firft, hath an Influence for
Drought, while he brings Inflances from ijid.oridiq,of which in due place,
and oipreffing himfelf filrther in Keplers way, who fancies that the great
<5 of the Supetiours hinders the CotKoBionol the Earth, fb that it cannot
tttruB the Waters of the Ocean, whereupon mud iflue Droight.
jS 9. We, I hope, more intelligibly fay, that h and U produce a Dry
Conftitution, becaufe it produces a Cdd one, being the, two mod remote
Planets (if there were to more but Thot) Cold being the Parent of (at lead)
fomeSpecies of Drought, ifr. We fay it produces a Cold Air more of-
ten; and metre Naturally, than Heat. This, few agree to, thoughthey
admit Hail in Summer; whichlsfomeToken, hot it appears Confequenr,
from their veiy didance, beftde what elfe hath bin Cud before of the. Pla-
net U.'s Influence; jdfy. Itproduceth often with the ColdandtbeDrought
a mifiy Air, Fog and Frailext, confcffed at lead, in Winter. But Jrgol,
who hath added fomewhat of ufe to what be found in MAginm, and cbn-

Obferved-iits or after foggy Mornings.

publique Stamp upon them, and have their Diaries recorded. As thofe
that were feen after theConjunCfion in , 1664. about Chriftmas, at what
rime h and U were both in wh Three Comets then feen by my felf, and
all the World bclide, (we know, this may bemention'd before? un-

who did not: mean lo, as ifa d off and U tverea private Al'peCl ? They
knew it w as Imp.u tird, of a large extent and Dominion, Martialling
Minor Afpeds under it; and upon that account ought not we Chriflians to
deny that thefe Configurations often bring Comets w ith them. Ye fee here
are two together; Firft, that in 16S4. then that in 16S2. Whatlhould
we cavil ? 1 acknow ledge it is not X\. years punctually,' but they both
roam? within the Verge of the d. The fame d comes but once in XX.yearS
may be, but it firetcheth its Wings forward and backward, fo that the

foremy (cantling time; For how came the Ai dians to dream of it ? But
enough of that. Go we backward; have we known any Comet about
1644, Verily none appears, we muff be content then. Let us retreat to
theyear 1625. where h and u arebuta Signdiffant, which to me isas
good as if they were about balfa Sign, or XII. degrees diffant, feeing
there is differenceof Communicationof one Planet to another, according
to the difference of their Station in the Firmament. We have ventur'dto
(ay thelnfluence runs beyondjo degrees (bmetimes; of which we may per- .
haps in due place give tome account. 'TisaWonder, and no Wonder ;
None, becaufe a Comet is not accomplilbed without the concurrence ot-
thelnfcriours; and yet a Wonder, becaufe h and W carry fuch aftroke
with them, that they feldom are without fuch I due; being more, as we
lay, than half the bathers of it.

for infuch relation h and U are always in <S, feeming in a right Line
drawn through their Centres,whereloeverthey are,will terminate on feme

fwer, this Argument proves that no Afpeft in the Heavehs can produce
either Wind, or Clouds, or Showrs Of Rains no, nor the very Mew

Is there ao Specialty upon a perpendicular Ray terminated on the Earth, and

though it make Summer and Winter} A Line drawnthrough two Planets,
lace them where you will,terminates on the Firmamentfor one extremes
ut lhall it terminate on the Earth for the other? But theArgument firikes

great diftance of the place from whence it (hone, even the Firmament

is known it muft be in it felf much bigger. I anfwer, the Argumenc
fmells well of _ Learning and Eeafpn, and deferves a ftir aflent,
or a fair Solution: and this .we take to be fuch, while we give two
Reafons: Firfti that T; and U are intended not for ihefole Progenitors of
the Star, but only the more notable , or Eminent Contributors toward
the fame: for who can exclude the Sim} Who, cf ? S or, > it (elf ? In

our Northern Regions, Germany, and the like. Nearer the Mediterrane-
an, it may be true, with Regard to the Wind, though not with Regard to
Lightning} it being agreed on as Pliny Dates the Quelfion, neque ali„d in

nearaKin. For whereas they take it forcertain, that Minds are the Caufe
of Earthquakes, they mull mean Spirits; there is no other way to re-
concile the Antients to Truth. But Pliny tells us farther, thatEartfi-
quakes may be predidled. So they were, by Jnaximnder and Fherec]-
des. He means Predidlions PhilofophicaK Conjedlures taken fr om Ibme
certainSigns, and that, it may be, iseane in places that are Obnoxious
thereto. But I don't hear any of his early Chaldeans have foretold it by
Allrological Predidlions, by Arguments taken from the Caufl, though up-
on the Truth of their Principle,diey might. He tells us in the next Chap-
ter 80. ol the Dire Elfedis, throwing down. Swallowing up, Beijing

veral Noifa that are heard, according to the variety of the Event) he
tellsusthat they are felt oftner in the Night time, then in the Day -, yet
fometimes at Noon. He mentions allb Morning and Evenings for Cri-
tical Hours, alt which flmgly declare a Celejlial caufe. The Sun I mean,
and He, you mull know , is never without his Retinae. Confequently,
he tells US that Earthquakes happen many times at Eclipfei. And have

> 79. To proceed, in thenextChapterSq. He informs us of Inundati-
ons and Earthquakes that they go together, even as it may be noted in Ari-
Jlotle himlelf, which is no untruth , and may be proved from thePremi-
fes, whether the Inundation be as 1 may term it, wetordry, cauledby
Rain and Wind, or by Spirit and Inflation only, As we have conlider d
before, when vie treated of the Rarefadlion of the Watry Element,which
in Flouds join'd with Earthquakes is mod certain : and in Flouds in di-
ilant Countrys mull beprelumed in (bmeProporiion,if not from theHeat

ted, that Comets go along with thofe Earthquakes and Inundations, as be-
ing united in a cowffliOT Efficient, where matter isdi(p»fed, though F/wy

will be laid, That this isold Stuff-, Earthquakes, Inundations, Comets,

hot with the New Philoiophy. 1 may anfwer, ifir agrees with Proof

that 1 believe you know that Earthquakes are the Caufes of Pelts, but
that the Three Superiouts, as the Chaldrm have laid of Earthquakes,
are the Ciufes, under God, of Epidemical Diltempers, Agues, Beavers.
Nor will it conclude againll this Dodirine, that lometimes our Earthl
' quakes appear without an Inuudation; a Comet, without an Earthquake;
'or Plague, without a Comet,therefore their meeting is CaliiaU For ma-
ny things in Nature are not reciprocal, which yet nave Connexion one
with the otherthough the Connexion always appears not. To Inltance in

areof kin to Earthquakes, yet not always doth an Earthquake follow.

JDidurbance and Diftemperature of our Tenour of Life, our Bloud,Spirit
and Humour; and I hope we need not beg any Mans Belief of the lefs
Condulion, when we have demonltrated the greater. Thole Planets
which we have demonltrated to beInceendiaries,Perturbers ofHeaven and

take the Word in a good or bad Sence,'I mean them no harm. If I have
mention'd fometimes, Comets, Droughts, Floods, we intimate thereby
that fuch are the Attendants', of Diftemper'd years, ana therefore imports
fomuch: Comets, I (ay, among the reft, imply an unhealthy Conftitution,
of Diftempers extant, and co-exiflent with it. I could confirm the

and yet infatuate. If a Monarch perhaps through his more generous
Education, fees bimlelf Bound not toTruckleunder them, or conniva

i 5 .We have madevou believe that the Charafterof this Afpedl holds
forth Cold and FroftySealbns, (Winter at lead) and Droughty Sealons
with Cold or Heat, as they happen. And 'tis admirable to fee, that not
only before, but, after we know the reafon, how Cool, Calm and Civil
the Afpedtis at times, acother times as M"?? and boiftrous; yea, wild
and prodigious, and inliipportable. For whit noife, I pray, does the

(Froft or Fog) as in Jmury and mvembtr 1664. But fee 1 thefe Planets
are not diflrihutcd, they are too near one another, whether Three or
more, to fliew any remarkable Influence, as we have faid. 'Twasa
great miftake therefore of Poor Stufier, to alarum all the Country with
fears of a Deluge, when time was, to make the Country build, or pro-
cure boats for their lafeguard, or fly to the remote and hieler places, in
Vtbr. 1524. becaufeall the Planets, forfooth, met in the ffatiy Sign K,
fas they are apt enough to'do, if the Superiours wait for them there) for
what was the llfue, to the Infamy of Allrology, through ignorance and
ill management, the whole Month proved Fair and Serene, asinfucli
cafe, according to our Principles, 'us very apt to do 5 On the other fide,
when Diftriiuttd, what do they not? Shify the Earth, Burn it, Drawn
it, riiCeMsunliim out of the Sea (for mn Jflandi mull be fuch) bring
Lakes out of Mountains, italilh Cities, Inhabitants, burying
them alive inEinhquikst, and aajhing them away in Flouds. Concer-
ning which take one Pangriph in Furcbo!, when he comes to fpeak of
GuatimaU, a fertile Province and City of the fame flame in the Wefl-
India. Hetellsusthat theCity wasonceSituate at the Footofa FuIcm,
butwas removedTwoMiles thence, becaufe in the Year 1542. (one of
our years) on Detemicr t6, A Lakehiddenin theBowelsof thatHill,
forth in many places with fuch Violence, that it ruined mod pate
of the City. But (mark ye) All is well for a matter of 40 years, fo one
d isharmleli, yet in the year 1581. (which is a Borderer, as we call it)
there ilfued from another Vulcan two miles off fuch an Eruption of Hre,
as threatned to confume all before it; and (iich a Showr of Alhes as bom
filledthe Vallies, and almoft burled the City. Now the nextyear 1582.
(a year claimed by our Afpeft) there ilfued for 24 hours fiich aStream of
Fire that burned the Stones and Rocks, drank up 5 Streams of Water.
He adds this remarkable Note, that before that nm Eruption of Waters,
fome Indians came and told the Bilhcp, that they had heard an incredible
Noife at the Foot of the Hill 5 The Chridcan Bifliop reproved ihem, that
they (hould not trouble diemfelves with vain, yea, Superllitious Pears.

Men who lived in 1582. Now at none of thefe Terrors, I wis, when-

as if they were pat out upon duty to execute their orders ; forinalifuch
great Produdls, Nature ufes her Mechimckf , her Diitances, her Lines,
her Angles, of unequal Meafures and Proportions. All the Planets lye
notinoneConcentridtOib, as neither do the Fixed. Wherefore by
the Rule of the t'rHis, the higher Planet Ctteris Fi'itiu muft have the
greater Force. I fee fome Emblem of this in my hand, the ftrengthof
that Organ lies in the unequal meafure of the Fingers, of ivhich the Lit-
tle Finger is the weakeft, and the Longeft is the luftieft.

bedifcerned fo convincingly, by difir&Bii Inftances hitherto prefented

heavy Influences according to the Series of time • Wherefore we may fur-
ther think lit to prefent you an example of Two or Three, for the Mod
part from our own Englilh Annals, wherein we are more ««7y concer-
ned : that by comparing our lad d k ai in oT, with that of 1582. where .
the laid Planets are in opptfite Signs to the former, or elfe with that of

may we not then ufefully compare our Years of the Later Century, viz.

together, as to Comets , Flouds, Lightnings , Earthquakes ; the

are we indebted to the Great Moderator; though fome parts of the

and, (which I think I have reaion to take noticeoO in thefe two laftln-
ftances, there is mention of Showres of Bloud , at, or near the time of
thefe appearances. (Prodigies oft-times draw in a Chain , and make a
Train.) Thefe appearances come again, Aug. 5. pag. 358, for I will not
take notice of what is reported^ at to qt Night, July 24. how Armies met

lofophers to give fame account of Rains of Bloud. We obferved but
now, that they happen fometirnetimes with other Prodigious Appearan-
ces, as of Three Suns, and the like. Bur, as Superftitiousas we are, we
labour not to give account of every ftrange Circumflance ; Nay, we ra-

the reafonfrom thevery Textureof theGarment, the Woof lying acrois

ment, the experiment will not prove; wherefore he juftly refers it to
what mud be owned, the D'evine Finger pointing at fomething that is
fhorcly to fucceed. For the Story fpeaks not of a bloudy Showr, nor of
any Rain properly fo called i Nay, they ibeak of fuch Figures found in
Veils of Churches, and Garments under Lock and Key , nor of Crofles
always of one Colour. What is the Mue? There followed a Plague, fays

Clutches of our Planets. What follows is of lelfer concern, but
ftrange Hill; Hail which w'as falhioned like_ Spur-rowls,d-f. I commend
Cartejnu's Diligtnct, but I applaud not his Utfign. Alfuredly not all
Tlncnomcna in Nature can be folved excluding Miracle 5 or not, i( you
will bear it, without Planets and Angelical Subftances. And yet I
heartily allow that our Phllofophy , whatever it aims at, (hoots
(hort. Ponds or Fountains turned into the appearance of Bloud, may be
accounted for, by the Theory of Damps 5 (when the Earth being diftur-
bedfrom the Heavens, is apt to fall into a quaking Fit! a difpofttionM,

In Thefe Births there is more than a Planet.

and have me fore-Ilall the Second Part, becaule there is no fuch Book
yet in being, and Age begins to faint, be pleafed to Cake notice; what we
have laid before, that the Planets lying in immtdiitr order, well dijlri-

ther, then when they are difcontinued, or lye in a lefler Arcli Secondly,

the Planets are difcontinued, that is to (ay, above 30 degrees diftance,
the Weather is the Cooler, the Dryer, the Wholfomer, a Northerly
Wind is apt to blow in the Summer, and Froft in Winter. When the
Planets lyecominued, without anyrPlfoma Superiour Planet, ifthe Sun
rifes firft, the Morning is the Colder, if it riles lad, the Warmer. For
Summer, thenigher D comes to the Planets well diflributed, in the
■Ncrthern Hemifphere, the Warmer is the Day ; the further itreceeds
from them in.the Souther.i Hemifphere, the cooler is the day.
The Planets mud lye in Six Signs, or 5, or4, or 5, or 2, on.

THe-Author willing to rid himfdf of hisCumberiome Papers, com-
mitted forae part of them to the Prefs above ten years iince, and it
will be allowed by all fair-fpoken Perfons, that we may reclifie an opini-
on, under a longer experience. What hinders, but that he may take no-
tice of an Inftance or two, which are to be read cum gram Salv, or to fave
that Charge, to be retrained. The fir/l of thefe, concerns prodigious
Showrsof Dull and Alhes, which I fee fince, are not generated in the
Air, as pag. 2. is reported , but elevated thither. Neither do 1 know,
whether it be the more probable Opinion that the Frog is generated in the
Airy Region. The Thunderbolt alfo, mention'd .» 2. Cap. 2.1 have
been taught," is not any body aggregate of Earthly Particles, but only the
dint of Harmful Lightning, call'd by that Name by the Vulgar, notwith-
ftanding fometimes, if mult be granted that Stones have fallen from the
Clouds. But rhechiefell Contradifiion that requires a Conciliator, is,
that we make Jmc colder than Saturn, pag. ay. and yet after make
him a Warm Star, pag. 317. 'tis the hardeff Word in all the Scroul of
Heaven, and yet if we look on it, it is writ in Capital Letters., Tis
hard to fay, 1 confefs, that U is the Coldeft, when he is nearer than h,
and to fight, greater. So there we eat our Words, and Jet h be the
Coldeft, for his remote diftance, and his lefs Diameter. All this while
we {peak of Cold in a Comparative Senfe, not denying, but what is
comparatively Cold, may be abfolutely Warm. So h himfelf is Warm
too and the Cold we impute to a ftate of Defettion, for reckon b s di-
ftance as high as you pleafe, in <f to the 0 in Summer Signs, tinlefs in ftate
of Defertion, he's a warm Planet. 'Tis but a folly to diifemble, in all
Cold Winters U ads his part as well as h , and the moft Prodigious
Winters fucceed under their mutual Afpefts. So let X be the next Cold
to h. Nay, Imuft fpeak all; whofoeverdeals in Prognoftick, lhall
find X to be a Refifter of Moifture, more than any; and now fhould X
be dryer than h, and notwithftanding have no Title to be efteemed Col-
der , let greater Men determin: Sure all diftind minute Prognoftic
