THe propertie of this water is to ascend with cold , and descend with heate , vpon the least and euery change of the outward ayre , certainely . Secondly , the sudden falling of the water is a certaine signe of raine ; for example , if the water fall a degree or two in seuen or eight houres , it will surely raine then presently , or within tenne or twelue houres after . Thirdly , if the water fall in the night season , it will surely raine , for example ; if the water be fallen any lower in the morning at Sun-rising , then it was ouer night after Sun-setting , it will surely raine that day following before midnight : Probatum est . Fourthly , you must marke at what degree the water standeth when it first beginneth to fall against raine ; for vntill it riseth vp againe to the same degree from whence it first fell against raine , the weather will still bee rainie more or lesse : Probatum est . Fiftly , so long as the water continueth certaine at any one degree whatsoeuer , so long the weather will continue certaine at the same stay that it is then at , whether it be faire or foule , frost or raine ; but if the water rise or fall a degree or two , and so standeth , the weather will presently change : Probatum est . Sixtly , Note that at the figures of 1. 2. and 3. is the extreame heate of the Summer . At 4. and 5. not so hot , At 6. more temperate , At 7 is a degree more hot then cold , At 8. is the medium , or very temperate , At 9. is a degree more cold then hot , At 10. is a frost certainely , At 11. and 12. harder frost , At 13. and 14. store of Ice vpon the Thames at London , and other riuers in the Countrey , At 15. boates cannot passe for Ice , At 16. men may goe ouer the Thames on the Ice on foote , Porbatum est . Seuenthly , Note that so long as the water continueth aboue the figure of 10. so long the frost will last , but if the water fall below the figure of 10. and so standeth , the frost will breake certainely . Eightly , Note that in the time of frost , the water standing aboue the figures o● 11. or 12. the sudden falling of the water a degree or two , is a certaine signe of Snow , or sleeky weather certainely . You may also know the temperature of your body , whether your body bee hotter or colder , more at one time then at another , by holding your hand vpon the head of the glasse . These rules are all certaine and truely proued by Iohn Slade dwelling at the blew Bell at Lambith .
