Tokens of Earthquakes to come.
A Firie clowde, appearing in the element like a little pillar, is a token of Earthquakes to come. The obscurity or darkenes of the Sunne, without clowdes, and strangely coloured, bloodie or otherwise, is a token of Earthquakes.
Also when Well water and others are troubled, or salt, or in∣fected by sauour, &c.
A great quietnes of ayre by land and sea, and chiefly the long absence of winds.
Also strange noyses heard, as clamours of men, rushing of har∣nesse, mournings, lamentations, &c. All these haue been obserued to signifie Earthquakes at hand.
