And if the haruest be hoter than customably, then shall followe a diseased yeare and that dangerus.
And if the Haruest be colder than customably, then shall follow the losse of the Haruest fruites both in the store and tast of them.
And the Winter colde and drie, is of all husbandmen commended, but extréeme colde, doeth then flea the trées, especially those which ioy in a warme aire, as the Pomegranade trée, the Oliue trée, the Lemmon trée, the Figge trée, the Peach trée, and such like.
And if the Winter excéede in the extremitie of coldnesse, then doth it signifie harme both vnto the Vine and the Oliue trée, the Cherie trée, and the yellow Quince trée.
And if the Winter be hote and moyst, then the same doth pronounce an vnhealthfull yeare, and daunger to séedes and fruites of the earth.
And the excesse qualitie, and distemperature of any of the foure quarters, is euill and daungerous to the fruites of the earth.
And the plentie of snowe falling in the due season of the yeare, doth batten the earth, (and if the others do helpe) then doth it signifie the plentie of corne and other fruites of the earth.
And if any washeth the handes with snowe, it doth then make them stedie, in that the snowe is ingendered of a vapour somewhat drie and earthly.
And the snowe nourisheth shéepe & other beasts in that the snow is ingendered of the moyst aire, in which life consisteth.
And the snowe increaseth the corne and other growing things on earth, in that by his coldnesse it so doth shut the poures of the earth, that the heate with the whiche the séedes of the earth be cherished, cannot then breath forth.
