two halfe part's or moities thereof : the one containing the 
warmer fcafbn, as from the end of Ariesto the end of Libra , 
the other the colder, as from the end of Libra to the end of 
Aries.

But they are more certainly notified by thecommingof the Fidde fare, 
and of the Swallow: the one bringing cold Winter, the other warme 
Summer with her. Hir Sifter VhiUmtla, that ihrowdes htr felfe in the

Tr.gne lfayeth after that vnrill (lie finde it warme abroad. If fome foolifh

The Spring hauing replenifhed the Hines with plentieof 
Bees, the Summer is readie with his plentie of H onie to en- 
terrainethem. During vdtich feafon the Hiues muft haue

netre of the Hiues be hurtful! vn tot hem, feeing now there is 
no feareof enemies. 
A t Gemini therefore fet the doores^: wide open, without 
Barrc or Wicket : and fo let them ftandall this quarter. 
Cjemini being part, if rhe weather be vfually code, when 
there commeth a calme warme day, take off the hackles from 
thofe Hiues that are likely tofwarme. Butif the weatherbe
