Section III – Chapter XV
[By the colour of the Moon]
Also if the Moon in the third day after the change, and the third day before the
full, or in the midst of the quarter are found of a red colour, it causes winds;
pale and inclining to blackness and a muddy obscurity, brings rain; but being
bright and clear the end upright and free from circles promises fair weather.
[By the rainbow]
Look also to the time when a rainbow appears and by it judge the weather thus;
if it appears in fair weather, judge foul will follow; if in foul, fair will follow –
this is the opinion of some, and it stands to reason to be true, if we look to the
first ordination thereof in the 9 th of Genesis; again if it appear in the morning,
rain and moisture is thereby portended; if in the evening, fair weather.
[By comets]
From comets if we require judgment touching these matters, we are to know
that they never appear but they bring as well great and terrible alterations in the
air as on the earth. But this we shall have more occasions to treat anon in the
next section; wherefore, here only note that they cause dry weather and air,
great and high winds, especially if they appear obscure and cloudy. And their
power and efficacy judge by their greatness, smallness, length and shortness;
they also cause sickness by the corruption of the air if they appear in airy or
earthy signs.
[By clouds]
When you see thick clouds and resembling flocks gathered together in may
places, they denote rain; and so do dark, obscure thick clouds over the north
part of heaven declining to the west; if they appear like hills and somewhat
above the earth, it shows weather over-passed: black clouds promise rain; white
clouds appearing in winter two or three days together in the east part of heaven
shows cold and snow.
