August's Observations.

THe Lord defend this Nation from pestilential Ayrs, ill Weather, Thunder, Lightnings, likely to happen about the beginning of this Month; but it ends with sundry cross sea-fights, much bloud, and great tribulation in many parts, occasioned by violent Feavers and Abortions. Spain, Rome, and Italy, are much afflicted; and so are some great ones in England; which make the Farmer smile, to see some Oppressors li••ted higher then ever their fore-fathers were; but I dare not declare what I think; whet your wits about it: onely thus much by the way, some will prove headless. Very hot weather begins the month. Store of Rain about the 4^th day; after which the air will be very calm and seasonable: The 13 day New moon. The 16 day Thunder and Lightning. The 23 day wind and rain. The 28 Full Moon. Some Thunder about the 29 day.
