customary or attend wind of the four and five article connexion the word of  attend wind be we and we think good to give it that the observation concern  they be not lose nor confound the meaning be this divide the year if you  please in what country soever you be into three four or five part and if any  one certain wind blow then two three or four of those part and a contrary wind  but one we call that wind which blow most frequent the customary or attend  wind of that country and likewise of the time the south and Northwinds be  attendant of the world for they with those which be within their section or  division blow often over all the world than either the east or the west all  free wind not the customary be more attendant in the winter than in the summer  but most of all in the autumn and spring all free wind be attendant rather in  the country without the tropics and about the polar circle than within for in  freeze and in torrid country for the most part they blow more spare in the  middle region they be more frequent also all free wind especial the strong and  most forcible of they do blow often and more strong morning and evening than  at noon and night free wind blow frequent in hollow place and where there be  cave than in solid and firm ground injunction humane diligence have almost  cease and stand still in the observation of attend wind in particular place  which notwithstanding shall not have be that observation be profitable for  many thing I remember I ask a certain merchant a wise and discreet man who  have make a plantation in Greenland and have winter there why that country be  so extreme cold see it stand in a reasonable temperate climate he say it be  not so great as it be report but that the cause be twofold one be that the  mass and heap of ice which come out of the scythian sea be carry thither the  other which he also think to be the better reason be because the west wind  there blow many part of the year more than the east wind as also say he it do  with we but there it blow from the continent and cold but with we from the sea  and warmish and say he if the east wind shall blow here in England so often  constant as the Westwind do there we shall have far cold weather even equal to  that as be there the west wind be attendant of the postmeridian or afternoon  hour for towards the decline of the sun the wind blow often from the east then  from the west the south wind be attendant on the night for it rise and blow  more strong in the night and the north wind in the day time but there be many  and great difference between wind which be attendant on the sea and those  which be attendant upon the land that be one of the chief which give Columbus  occasion to find out the new world namely that sea-wind be not stay but land  wind be for the sea abound in vapour which be indifferent every where wind be  also engender indifferent every where and with great inconstancy be carry here  and there have no certain beginning nor source but the earth be much unlike  for the the beget of wind some place be more efficacious to engender and  increase wind some less wherefore they stand most from that part where they  have their nourishment and take their rise from thence acosta be unconstant in  his own position he say that at Peru and the sea coast of the south sea south  wind do blow almost the whole year and he say in another place that upon those  coast sea wind do blow chief but the south wind to they be a land wind as  likewise the north and east wind also and the west wind be their only sea wind  we must take that which he set down more certain namely that the south wind be  a attend and familiar wind of those country unless peradventure in the name of  the south sea he have corrupt his meaning or his speech meaning the west by  the south which blow from the South-sea but the sea which they call the  South-sea be not proper the South-Sea but as a second western ocean be stretch  out in the like situation as the atlantic sea be sea wind be questionless more  moist than land wind but yet they be more pure and will easy and with more  equality be incorporate with the pure air for terrestrial wind be ill compose  and smoky neither let any one object that they ought to be gross by reason of  the saltness of the sea for the nature of terrestrial salt do not rise in  vapour sea wind be luck warm or cold by reason of the two foresay quality  humidity and pureness for by humidity they mitigate the cold for dryness  increase both heat and cold and with their pureness they cool therefore  without the tropics they be luck warm within the tropics they be cold I  believe that sea wind be every where attendant upon particular country  especial such as stand upon the sea coast that be to say wind blow more  frequent from that side where the sea be by reason of the great plenty of  matter which wind have in the sea than in the land unless there be some firm  wind blow from the land for some peculiar reason but let no man confound firm  or stay wind with attendant wind the attendant be always more frequent but the  stay one for the most part blow more seldom but that be common to they both  namely to blow from that place from which they receive their nourishment sea  wind be common more vehement than land wind yet when they cease the sea be  Calm from the shore than near unto they insomuch that mariner to avoid calm  will sometime coast along the shore rather than launch into the deep wind  which be call tropei that be to say retort namely such as when they have blow  a little way sudden turn again such wind I say blow from the sea towards the  shore but retort wind and whirlwind be most common in gulf of sea some small  gale blow for the most part about all great water and they be most feel in a  morning but more about river than at sea because of the difference which be  between a land gale and a watergale in place which be near the sea tree bow  and bend as shun the sea air but that come not through any averseness in they  but sea wind by reason of their humidity and thickness be as it be more heavy  and ponderous the quality and power of wind to the article connexion concern  the quality and power of wind man have make careless and various observation  we will cull out the most certain and the rest as too light we will leave to  the wind themselves with we the south wind be rainy and the northern wind  clear and fair the one gather together and nourish the cloud the other scatter  and cast they off wherefore the poet when they speak of the deluge feign the  Northern wind at that time to be shut up in prison and the south wind to be  send out with very large commission the west wind have with we be hold to be  the wind which blue in the golden age the companion of a perpetual spring and  a cherisher of flower Paracelsus his scholar when they seek for a place for  their three principle in Juno temple also which be the air place three but  find no place for the east wind they Mercury ascribe to the south wind to the  rich western blast the sulphur i and rugged boreas blast the sad salt find but  with we in England the east wind be think to be mischievous so that it go for  a proverb that when the wind be in the east it be neither good for man nor  beast the south wind blow from the presence of the sun the north from the  absence in our hemisphere the east wind in order to the motion of the air the  west wind from the sea the east wind from the continent most common in Europe  and the western part of Asia these be the most radical and essential  difference of wind from which true and real depend most of the quality and  power of the wind the south wind be not so anniversary or yearly nor so stay  as the Northern wind be but more wander and free and when it be stay it be so  soft and mild that it can scarce be perceive the south wind be low and more  lateral and blow of one side the Northern wind be high and blow from above we  do not mean the polar elevation and depression of which we have speak former  but because the north wind for the most part have its beginning high and the  south wind for the most part near to we the south wind to we be rain as we say  before but in Africa it cause clear weather but bring great heat along with it  and not cold as some have affirm in Africa it be pretty healthful but to we if  the south wind last long with fair weather and without rain it be very  pestilent the south wind and west wind do not engender vapour but they blow  from those coast where there be great store of they by reason of the increase  of the sun heat which draw forth the vapour and therefore they be rainy but if  they blow from dry place which have no vapour in they they be fair but  notwithstanding sometime they be pure and sometime turbulent the south and  west wind here with we seem to be confederate and be warm and moist and on the  other side the north and east wind have some affinity between they be cold and  dry the north and south wind whereof we have also speak before do blow often  than the east and west wind because there be a great inequality of vapour in  those part by reason of the absence and presence of the sun but to the east  and to the west the sun be as it be indifferent the south wind be very  healthful when it come from the sea but when it blow from the continent it be  more unhealthful and so contrariwise the north wind be suspicious blow from  the sea from the continent it be healthful likewise the south sea wind be very  agreeable with plant and fruit kill their canker or rust and other hurtful  annoyance a gentle south wind do assemble and gather together cloud much  especial if it continue but a short while but if it blow too boisterous or  long it cloud the sky and bring in rain but especial when it cease or grow  remiss more than in its beginning and when it be in its chief vigour when the  south wind either begin to blow or cease for the most there be change of  weather from fair to cloudy and from hot to cold and contrariwise the north  wind many time rise and cease the former weather remain and continue after  hoary frost and long continue snow there scarce blow any other wind than a  south wind there be as it be a concoction or digestion make of cold which then  at last dissolve neither do rain also follow but this likewise happen in  change or interval of fair weather the south wind rise often and blow strong  in the night than in the day especial in winter night but the north wind if it  rise in the night which be contrary to its custom it do usual last above three  day when the south wind blow the wave swell high than when the north wind blow  though it blow with a equal or lesser force the south wind blow the sea become  blue and more bright than when the north wind blow which cause it to look dark  and black when the air become warm on a sudden it sometime betoken rain and  again at other time when on a sudden it grow cold it likewise betoken rain but  this happen accord to the nature of the wind for if the air grow warm while  the south or east wind blow there be rain at hand and likewise when it grow  cold during the Northern or western blast the south wind blow for the most  part entire and alone but the north wind blow especial the east north east or  the north west often time contrary and various or diverse wind blow together  whereby they be break and disturb beware a Northern wind when you sow seed  neither will I wish any one to inoculate or graft in a southern wind leave  fall from tree soon on the south side but vine sprout or stalk bud forth and  grow most that way in large pasture shepherd must take care as Pliny say to  bring their flock to the north side that they may feed against the south for  if they feed towards the north they grow lame and bleereyed and distemper in  their belly the Northern wind also do so weaken their couple that if they  couple look that way they will for the most part bring forth Ewe-Lambs but  Pliny do not stand very stiff to this opinion have as it be but take it up  upon trust and borrow it wind be hurtful to wheat and all manner of grain at  three time namely at the open and at the fall of the flower and when the grain  it self be ripe for then they blow the corn out of the ear and at the other  two time either they blast the flower or blow it off while the south wind blow  man breath grow rank all creature appetite decay pestilent disease reign man  wax more slow and dull but when the wind be northwardly man be more lively  healthful and greedy after food yet the Northern wind be hurtful for they that  be trouble with the phthisic cough gout or any other sharp defluxion a east  wind be dry pierce and mortify the west wind moist meek and nourish if the  east wind blow when the spring be any thing forward it be hurtful to fruit  bring in of worm and caterpillar so that the leave be hardly spare neither be  it very good to grain contrariwise the west wind be very propitious and  friendly to herb flower and all manner of vegetable and so be the east wind  too about the autumnal equinoctial western wind be more vehement than eastern  wind and bow and bend tree more rainy weather which begin when the east wind  blow do last long than that which begin when a west wind blow and may  peradventure hold out for a whole day the east and north wind when they once  begin to blow blow more constant the south and west wind be more mutable in a  eastern wind all visible thing do appear big but in a western wind all audible  thing be hear further as sound of bell and the like the east north east wind  draw cloud to it it be a proverb among the Greek to compare it to usurer who  by lie out money do swallow it up it be a vehement and large wind which can  remove cloud so fast as they will turn back and press upon it which be  likewise see in great fire which grow strong against the wind cardinal or Semi  cardinal wind be not so stormy as the median median wind from north to north  east be more fair from north east to east more stormy likewise from east to  south east more fair from south east to south more stormy likewise from south  to south west more fair from south west to west more stormy likewise from west  to north west more fair from north west to north more stormy so that proceed  accord to the order of the heaven the median wind of the first half ward be  always dispose to fair weather those of the latter half ward to storm and  tempest thunder and lightning and storm with fall of break cloud be when cold  wind as participate of the north do blow as the north west north north west  north north east north east and east north east wherefore those thunder likely  be accompany with hail likewise snowy wind come from the north but it be from  those median wind which be not stormy as the north west and north east and by  north wind gain their nature and property five way only either by the absence  or presence of the sun or by agree or disagree with the natural motion of the  air or by the diversity of the matter which feed they by which they be  engender as sea snow Marishes or the like or by the tincture of the country  through which they pass or by their original local beginning on high under  ground in the middle all which thing the ensue article will better declare and  explain all wind have a power to dry yea more than the sun it self because the  sun draw out the vapour but if it be not very fervent it do not disperse they  but the wind both draw they out and carry they away but the south wind do this  least of any and both timber and stone sweat more when the south wind blow a  little than when it be calm and lie still march wind be far more dry than  summer wind insomuch that such as make musical instrument will stay for march  wind to dry their stuff they make their instrument of to make it more porous  and better sound all manner of wind purge the air and cleanse it from all  putrefaction so that such year as be most windy be most healthful the sun be  like to prince who sometime have appoint deputy in some remote country the  subject there be more obsequious to those deputy and yield they more respect  than to the prince himself and so the wind which have their power and origin  from the sun do govern the temperature of the country and the disposition of  the air as much or more than the sun it self insomuch that Peru which by  reason of the nearness of the ocean the vastness of river and exceed great and  high hill have abundance of wind and blast blow there may contend with Europe  for a temperate and sweet air it be no wonder if the force and power of wind  be so great as it be find to be vehement wind be as inundation torrent and  flow of the spacious air neither if we attentive heed it be their power any  great matter they can throw down tree which with their top like unto spread  sail give they advantage to do it and be a burden to themselves likewise they  can blow down weak building strong and firm one they can without earthquake  join with they sometime they will blow all the snow off the top of hill buryng  the valley that be below they with it as it befall Soliman in the Sultanian  field they will also sometime drive in water and cause great inundation  sometime wind will dry up river and leave the channel bear for if after a  great drought a strong wind blow with the current for many day so that it as  it be sweep away the water of the river into the sea and keep the sea water  from come in the river will dry up in many place where it do vow use to be so  monition turn the pole and withal turn the observation as concern the north  and south for the presence and absence of the sun be the cause it must vary  accord to the pole but this may be a constant thing that there be more sea  towards the south and more land towards the north which do not a little help  the wind monition wind be make or engender a thousand way as by the subsequent  inquisition it will appear so to fix that observation in a thing so various be  not very easy yet those thing which we have set down be for the most part most  certain local beginning of wind to the eight article connexion TO know the  local beginning of wind be a thing which require a deep search and inquisition  see that the whence and whither of wind be thing note even in scripture to be  abstruse and hide neither do we now speak of the fountain or beginning of  particular wind of which more shall be say hereafter but of the matrix of wind  in general some fetch they from above some search for they in the deep but in  the middle where they be for the most part engender no body hardly look for  they such be the custom of man to inquire after thing which be obscure and  omit those thing which lie as it be in their way this be certain that wind be  either inbred or stranger for wind be as it be merchant of vapour which be by  they gather into cloud they carry out and bring in again into country from  whence wind be again return as it be by exchange but let we now inquire  concern Native wind for those which come from another place be stranger be in  another place native there be three local beginning of they they either breath  or spring out of the ground or be cast down from above or be here make up in  the body of the air those which be cast down from above be of a double  generation for they be either cast down before they be from into cloud or  afterward compose of rarefy and disperse cloud let we now see what be the  history of these thing the poet feign eolus his kingdom to be place under  ground in Dens and cave where the wind prison be out of which they be at time  let forth some philosophical divine move by those word of scripture he bring  forth the wind out of his treasure think that the wind come out of some  treasury namely place under ground among the i of mineral but this be nothing  for the scripture speak likewise of the treasure of snow and hail which  doubtless be engender above questionless in subterraneal place there be great  store of air which it be very likely sometime breathe out by little and little  and sometime again upon urgent cause must needs come rush forth together a  indirect experiment in great drought and in the middle of summer when the  ground be cleave and chap there break out water many time in dry and sandy  place which if water be a gross body do though it be but seldom it be probable  that the air which be a subtle and tenuous body may often do it if the air  breathe out of the earth by little and little and scatter it be little  perceive at the first but when many of those small emanation or come out be  come together there be a wind produce as a river out of several spring and  this seem to be so because it have be observe by the ancient that many wind in  those place where they begin do at first blow but soft which afterward grow  strong and increase in their progress like unto river there be some place in  the sea and some lake also which swell extreme when there be no wind stir  which apparent proceed from some subterraneal wind there be great quantity of  subterraneal spirit require to shake or cleave the earth less will serve turn  for the raise of water wherefore earthquake come but seldom rise and swell of  water be more frequent likewise it be every where take notice of that water do  somewhat swell and rise before tempest the weak subterraneal spirit which be  breathe out scatter be not perceive upon the earth until it be gather into  wind by reason the earth be full of poor but when it issue from under the  water it be present perceive by reason of the water continuity by some manner  swell we resolve before that in cavernous and Denny place there be attendant  wind insomuch that those wind seem to have their local beginning out of the  earth in great and rocky hill wind be find to breath soon namely before they  be perceive in the valley and more frequent namely when it be calm weather in  the valley but all mountain and rock be cavernous and hollow in Wales in the  county of Denbigh a mountainous and rocky country out of certain cave as  gilbertus relate be such vehement eruption of wind that clothes or linen lie  out there upon any occasion be blow up and carry a great way up into the air  in aber Barry near Severn in Wales in a rocky cliff be certain hold to which  if you lie your ear you shall hear diverse sound and murmur of wind under  ground a indirect experiment acosta have observe that the town of Plata and  Potosa in Peru be not far distant one from the other and both situate upon a  high and hilly ground so that they differ not in that and yet Potosa have a  cold and winter like air and Plata have a mild and spring like temperature  which difference it seem may be attribute to the silver i which be near Potosa  which show that there be breathe place of the earth as in relation to hot and  cold if the earth be the first cold thing accord to Parmenides who opinion be  not contemptible see cold and density be knit together by a strict knot it be  no less probable that there be hot breathe send out from the Central cold of  the earth than be cast down from the cold of the high air there be certain  well in Dalmatia and the country of Cyrene as some of the ancient record into  which if you cast a stone there will present arise tempest as if the stone  have break some cover of a place in which the force of the wind be enclose a  indirect experiment Aetna and diverse other mountain cast out fire therefore  it be likely that air may likewise break forth especial be dilatated and set  into motion by heat in subterraneal place it have be note that both before and  after earth quake there have blow certain noxious and foreign wind as there be  certain little smother usual before and after great fire and burn monition the  air shut up in the earth be force to break out for several cause sometime a  mass of earth ill join together fall into a hollow place of the earth sometime  water do ingulf themselves sometime the air be extend by subterraneal heat and  seek for more room sometime the earth which before be solid and vault be by  fire turn into ash no long able to bear it self up fall and many such like  cause and so these inquisition have be make concern the first local beginning  of wind now follow the second origin or beginning from above namely from that  which they call the middle region of the air monition but let no man  understand what have be speak so far amiss as if we shall deny the rest of the  wind also be bring forth of the earth by vapour but this first kind be of wind  which come forth of the earth be already perfect frame wind it have be observe  that there be a murmur of wood before we do plain perceive the wind whereby it  be conjecture that the wind descend from a high place which be likewise  observe in hill as we say before but the cause be more ambiguous by reason of  the concavity and hollowness of the hill wind follow dart or as we call they  shoot star and it come that way as the star have shoot whereby it appear that  the air have be move above before the motion come to we the open of the  firmament and dispersion of cloud be prognostic of wind before they blow here  on earth which also show that the wind begin above small star be not see  before the rise of wind though the night be clear and fair because it shall  seem the air grow thick and be less transparent by reason of that matter which  afterward be turn into wind there appear circle about the body of the moon the  sun look sometime blood read at its set the moon rise read at her four rise  and there be many more prognostic of wind on high whereof we will speak in its  proper place which show that the matter of the wind be there begin and prepare  in these experiment you must note that difference we speak of namely of the  twofold generation of wind on high that be to say before the gather together  of vapour into a cloud and after for the prognostic of circle about and colour  of the sun and moon have something of the cloud but that dart and occultation  of the lesser star be in fair and clear weather when the wind come out of a  cloud ready from either the cloud be total disperse and turn into wind or it  be tear and rend in sunder and the wind break out as in a storm there be many  indirect experiment in the world concern the repercussion by cold so that it  be certain that there be most extreme cold in the middle region of the air it  be likewise plain that vapour for the most part can break through that place  without be join and gather together or dart accord to the opinion of the  ancient which in this particular be true and sound the three local beginning  of wind be of those which be engender here in the low part of the air which we  also call swell or overburthenings of the air a thing very familiar and  frequent yet pass over with silence a commentation the generation of those  wind which be make up in this low part of the air be a thing no more obscure  than this namely that the air new compose and make up of water and attenuate  and resolve vapour join with the first air can be contain within the same bind  as it be before but grow out and be turn and take up further room yet there be  in this two thing to be grant first that one drop of water turn into air  whatsoever they fabulous speak of the ten proportion of the element require at  least a hundred time more room than it have before second that a little new  air and move add to the old air shake the whole and set it into motion as we  may perceive by a little wind that come forth of a pair of bellows or in at a  little crevice of a window or wall that will set all the air which be in a  room in motion as appear by the blaze of the light which be in the same room  as due and miss be engender here in the low air never come to be cloud nor  penetrate to the middle region of the air in the like manner be also many wind  a continual gale blow about the sea and other water which be nothing but a  small wind new make up the rainbow which be as it be the low of meteor and  near to we when it do not appear whole but curtail and as it be only some  piece of the horn of it be dissolve into wind as often or rather often than  into rain it have be observe that there be some wind in country which be  divide and separate by hill which ordinary blow on the one side of the hill  and do not reach to the other whereby it manifest appear that they be engender  below the height of the say hill there be a infinite sort of wind that blow in  fair and clear day and also in country where it never rain which be engender  where they blow and never be cloud nor do ever ascend into the middle region  of the air indirect experiment whosoever shall know how easy a vapour be  dissolve into air and how great a quantity of vapour there be and how much  room a drop of water turn into air take up more than it do before as we say  already and how little the air will endure to be thrust up together will  questionless affirm that of necessity wind must be every where engender from  the very superficies of the earth even to the high part of the air for it can  be that a great abundance of vapour when they begin to be dilatated and expand  can be lift up to the middle region of the air without a over burden of the  air and make a noise by the way accidental generation of wind to the nine  article connexion we call those accidental generation of wind which do not  make or beget the impulsive motion of wind but with compression do sharpen it  by repercussion turn it by sinuation or wind do agitate and tumble it which be  do by extrinsical cause and the posture of the adjoin body in place where  there be hill which be not very high border upon valley and beyond they again  high hill there be a great agitation of the air and sense of wind than there  be in mountainous or plain place in city if there be any place somewhat broad  than ordinary and narrow go out as portal or porch and cross street wind and  fresh gale be there to be perceive in house cool room be make by wind or  happen to be so where the air blow through and come in on the one side and go  out at the other but much more if the air come in several way and meet in the  corner and have one common passage from thence the vault likewise and  roundness do contribute much to coolness because the air be move be Beatrice  back in every line also the wind of porch be better than if they be build  straight out for a direct blast though it be not shut up but have a free  egress do not make the air so unequal and voluminous and wave as the meeting  at Angles and hollow place and wind round and the like after great tempest at  sea a accidental wind continue for a time after the original be lie which wind  be make by the collision and percussion of the air through the curl of the  wave in garden common there be a repercussion of wind from the wall and bank  so that one will imagine the wind to come the contrary way from that whence it  real come if hill enclose a country on the one side and the wind blow for some  space of time from the plain against the hill by the very repercussion of the  hill either the wind be turn into rain if it be a moist wind or into a  contrary wind which will last but a little while in the turn of promontory  mariner do often find change and alteration of wind
