  This is a strange Chronicle , written by a strong hand : The best Antiquary in the World hath set it downe , for God himselfe puts his owne Name to it : A few leaues of his Filling , are an ample Volume : Euery small Epitome Written by him , is a Booke in Folio . SO Benummed wee are in our Sences , that albeit God himselfe Holla in our Eares , wee by our wills are loath to heare him .

  A strange relation of the suddain and violent tempest, which happened at Oxford May 31, Anno Domini 1682 together with an enquiry into the probable cause and usual consequents of such like tempests and storms.

summary:
  Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. Now therefore these Airy , Fiery , and Watry Clouds have large Superficies's considering their Matter , as Sense can testifie ; and therefore are suffulted by the Air 's Resistance , lest they should descend , even against their own Inclinations : but by the supervening Heat , and perhaps other Qualities of Celestial bodies , some ( or all ) of their Particles are Liquefacted , or otherwise prepared , and thereby unite the rest together more closely and compactly , and consequently become more Heavy ( for ponderosity proceeds from the smallness or Paucity of Pores ) till at length their own weight press and force them downwards ; being adjuted sometime by an Impulse of the superiour , sometime by a Recess of the inferiour Air ; through which they are strained , and as it were sifted , so that accordingly as That is more laxe or presst , the Rain or Wind are greater or less ; or as They connect with Analogus Vapours or Exhalations occurring in their Descent .
