CHAP. LVI.
* 1.1HE••ACLITVS thinketh that fulguration is but an effect of fire, that beginneth to enkindle it selfe, and a first flame as yet vncertaine, that now is extinguished, and then lighted againe: these did the Ancients call Fulgetra, that is to say, Fulgurations, but wee call them thunders in the plurall number, but the Ancients called it thunder, or a sound. This haue I found in Cicynna, a man very eloquent, who had had some reputation for his eloquence, except Ciceroes shadow had obscu∣red him. The Ancients haue vsed this word, making it shorter by a syllable in the midst, which now we make long. For as we say, Splendere, that is, to shine, we say likewise Fulgere, that is, to lighten: but they were accustomed to pro∣nounce the second syllable short, and to say, Fulgere, to signifie the sudden brea∣king out of light from the clouds.
Notes
* 1.1
The definition of thunder, and whence it is caused.
