There is a Small Red Flower in the Stubble Fields, which Country Peo¬

Euenin Men, Aches , and Hurts, and Cowes, doe engrietic, either to¬ 
wards Raine, or towards Frofl : For the one maketh the Humours more 
to Abound; And the Other maketh them Sharper. So we fee both Ex¬ 
tremes bring the Qput. 
Wormes, Fermine, &c. doe fore-fhew (likewife) Raine : For Earth¬ 
worms will come forth, aad Moulcs will caft vp more, and Fleas bite 
more, again It Raine. 
Bolide Bodies likewife fore-fhew Raine. As Stones, and Wain/cot, when 
they Sweat : And Boxes* and Pegs of wood, when they Draw, rm&mnde 
hard\ Though the iormer be but from an outward Caufe.; For that the 
Stove, or Waits [cot, turneth and beateth backe the-^ireagainiUt felfe. 
But the latter is an Inward Swelling of the Body of the Wood it felfe. 
A ppetite is moued chiefly by Things that are Cold, and Dru : The 
Cau/eis, for that Cold is a Kinde of Indigence of Nature, andcalleth

cafe, which they call Appetites Camnua, confifteth in th<t Matter of an A- 
cide an J G la fie Flegme, in the Mouth tithe Stomach. Appetite is alfb moued 
by Soitre Things . For that Sowre Things, induce a Contraction in the 
Nerues* placed in the Mouth of the Stomach * Which is a great Cau/e of 
Appetite. As for the Caufe, why Onions s and Salt, and Pepper , in Baked 
Meats, moue Appetite, it is by VeUication of thofe Nerues - For Motion 
whetteth. As for Worme-wood, olives , Gapers, and Others of that kinde, 
which participate of Bitternejje, they moue Appetite by Abfterfion. So as 
there be foure Principall Cavfes of Appetite - The Refrigeration of the Sto

the Stomach draw Humours ; And ftich Humours as are Light, and C ho*
