A new prognostication for the year of our blessed Lord 1677 Being the first after leap-year. Containing the moveable feasts: the eclipses the four quarters of the year: the changes of the moon, with the disposition of the weather. The dismal dayes. And the whole known fairs of Scotland. With other observations. Serving most fitly for the most part of the Kingdom of Scotland, but more especially for our city of Glasgow, where the pole is elevated 55. deg. 55. min. At Aberdene, by an expert mathematician.

Xxx. April begins on Sunday.

Sun riseth 53. min. before 6. sets 53. min. past 6.

• Pull Moon on Saturday 7. day, 38. m. past 6. afternoon.
• Second quarter on Saturday 14. day, 30 m. past 10. morning.
• Change on Saturday 21. day, 53 m. past 7 afternoon.
• First quarter on Sunday 29. day, 10 m. past 12. at night.

This moneth begins with sharp cold weather, from thence to the 11. more temperate: the 12.13. strong hard winds: thence to the 19. calm and clear: from the 20, to the 26. dry and windy, with some rain towards the close of the moneth.

In this moneth pole your hops, sow barley and artichoaks, bark trees for Tanners, sow hemp and flax, set citrons, melons, and cucumbers, and furnish and replenish your gardens with Summer herbs.

Now wholesom baths thou mayst frequent, Let blood also, and not repent: These are good means thee to defend, From griefs the which on thee attend.
