keepeth them irv, and tranfporteih chem into the late Spring and Summer 
following. 
Birds that vfc to change Countries, at certaine Seafons, if they conic 
Earlier, doe Chew the Temperatureoiweather, according to that Countrey 
whence they came: As the winter-Birds , (namely Woodcockes, Feldeftires, j 
&c.) if they come earlier, and out of the Northerne Countries , with vs 
fhew Cold Winters. And if it be in the lame Countrey , then they fhew a 
Temperature of Seafon, like vnto that Seafon in which they come : As 
Sml/owes, Bats, Cuckooes, &c. that come towards Summer, if they come 
early, fhew a Hot Summer to follow. 
The Prognofiickes , more Immediate, of weather to follow foone af¬ 
ter, are more Certaine than thofe of Sea fins. The Refounding of the 
SeaxponthcShoare, And the Murmur of Winds in th c woods, without 
apparent Wind • fhew wind to follow: Forfuch Winds, breathing chief!v 
out of the Earth , are not at the firft pe'rceiued, except tbev bee pe :t, by 
Water, or wood. And therefore a Murmur out of Canes likewife porteti- 
deth as much. 
The Tpper Regions of the Aire, perceiwe the Collettm of the Matter 
of Temp eft, and winds , before the Aire here below: And therefore the 
Ok fairing of the Smaller Starr es is a Signc of Tempers following. And 
of this kinde you {hall finde a Number of Infiances in our Inyuifition 
De Went is. 
Great Moumaines haue a Perception of the Difpofition of the Aire to 
Tempefis , foonerthan the Valley's or Plaines below : And therefore they 
fay in wales, when certaine Hills haue their Night-Cap's on, they mean'e I 
Mifchiefc. The Caufe is, for that Tempefis, which arc for the molt Part I 
bredaboue, in the Middle Region, (as they call it,) are fooneft perceiuedj 
to colled in the Places next i t. j 
The Aire, and Fire, haue Subtill Perceptions of wind Rifmg, before Men 
finde it. We fee the Trembling of a. Candle will difeouer a wind that o- 
therwife wee doe not feelc • And the Flexuous Burning of Flames doth 
fhew the Aire beginneth to be vnqniet; And fo doe Coales of Fire by Ca¬ 
sing off the Ajhes more than they life. The Caufe is, for that no wind, at 
the firft, till it hath ftrooke and driuen the Aire , is Appareht to the 
Senfe: Butffwzeis eafier tomoue, than Aire : And for the Ajhes, it is 
nomaruell, though Wind nnperceiued fliake them off j For wee nfually 
trie, which way the^Wbioweth, by calling vp Grajje , or Chajfc , or 
fuch light Things, into the Aire . 
When wind expireth from vnder the Sea % As it cauferh fotrie Refoun- 
dingoi the water, (whereof wee fpake before,) lb it caufeth fome Light 
Motions of Bubbles, and White Circles of Froth. The Caufe is,for that the 
wind cannot beperceiucd by the senfe, vntill there bee an Eruption of a 
great Quant me, from vnder the water-. And fo it getteth into a Bo die: 
Whereas in the firft Puttingnop it commeth in little Portions. 
We fpake of the Ajhes, that Coales,caik off- Andof Graffe,and Chaffs
