Somewhat prolix, but necessary. 7. The ☌ contri∣butes to Warmth. 8. And yet also to Cold; how the Congress of Two Catorifick Bodies may increase, yea, and abate Heat. 9.

Though the prolixity of our Table be disadvantageous to our Method, we find notwithstanding a Moyety for Moisture in the Direct. The Retrograde Aspect brings moisture once within the Triduum. 15, 16. Presentment of some days from the Table which brought store of Rain, and not a few, which rain'd all the day long. Divine Providence proved thereby. How ♀ con∣tributes to such lasting Rains. Astrology demonstrates. 17, 18. Fleec'd Clouds, strip'd Clouds have their determinate Cause. 19. Some ac∣count of Clouds riding contrary. 20. Of the Morn, and Evening Tincture of the Clouds. 21.

Yea some Comets and Earthquakes occur. 30. Shortness of understanding it may be, to multiply Prodigies; to acknowledge them is None. Nature not wholly excluded from Prodigy. 31.
