I T is, at this Day, in vfe, in Gaza, to couch Pot-Sbeards or Yejjels of 
Earth, in their trails, to gather the wind from the Top, and to pafte it 
downein Spouts into Roomes. It is a Deuitefor Frejhnejje, in great 
Heats; And it is faid, there are fome Roomes in Italy, and spaine, for 
Frejhnejfie,a nd Gathering the Winds,and Aire,in th zHeats of Summer. But 
they be but Vennings of the winds, and Enlarging them againe, and Ma¬ 
king them Reuerberate,and goe round in Circles,rather than this Deuice of 
Spouts in the wall.
