Neimpáug pesk hómwock, Thunderbolts are shot. Obs: From this the Natives conceiving a consimilitude between our Guns and Thunder, call a Gunne _Péskunck_, and to discharge _Peskhommin_ that is to thunder. _Observation generall of the Weather._ That judgement which the Lord Jesus pronounced against the Weather-wise (but ignorant of the God of the Weather) will fall most justly upon those Natives, and all Men who are wise in Naturall things, but willingly blind in spirituall. English and Indians spie a storme And seeke a hiding place: O Hearts of stone that thinke and dreame, Th’ everlasting stormes t’out face. Proud filthy Sodome saw the Sunne Shine ore her head most bright; The very day that turn’d she was To Stincking heaps, ’fore night. How many millions now alive, Within few yeeres shall rot? O blest that Soule, whose portion is That Rocke that changeth not. CHAP. XIV. _Of the Winds._ W Aûpi, The Wind. Wâupanash, The Winds. Tashínash waupanash, How many winds are there? Obs: Some of them account of seven, some eight, or nine; and in truth, they doe upon the matter reckon and observe not onely the foure but the eight Cardinall winds although they come not to the accurate division of the 32: upon the 32 points of the compasse as we doe. Nanúmmatin, & The North wind. Sunnâdin, Chepewéssin, The North east. Sáchimoachepewéssin, Strong North east wind. Nopâtin, The East wind. Nanóckquittin, The South east wind. Touwúttin, South wind. Papônetin, West wind. Chékesu, The Northwest. Chékesitch, When the wind blowes Northwest. Tucketunnántum? What thinke you? Nqénowhick wouttín, I Stay for a wind. Tou pìtch wuttin, Where will the wind be? Yo pìtch wuttìn Sàuop, Here the wind will be to morrow. Pitch Sowwanishew, It will be Southwest. Obs: This is the pleasingest, warmest wind in the Climate, most desired of the _Indians_, making faire weather ordinarily; and therefore they have a _tradition_, that to the Southwest, which they call _Sowwainiù_ the Gods chiefly dwell; and hither the soules of all their Great and Good Men and women goe. This Southwest wind is called by the _New-English_ the sea turne, which comes from the Sunne in the Morning, about nine or ten of the Clock Southeast, and about South, and then strongest Southwest in the after-noone, and towards night, when it dies away.
