CHAP. V. Concerning the Concomitants of the Eruption and burning of Aetna.
Whilst the Mountain of Aetna or Gibel did thus vomit flames of fire at the top, and streams of fire at the side, accompanied with such horrid noise and cracking in the Air, such dreadful trembling and shaking of the Earth; other things also were very observable at the same time; such as the swelling of the Sea unto a great and unaccustomed height, with great raging and roaring Waves, the Floods of Water did seem to lift up their heads to see this dreadful spectacle of the Floods of fire, and the Waves of the Sea did lift their voice in great tumult, as being amazed at the horrid aspect of the Waves and Streams of Flames and Brimstone.
WHilst the Mountain of Aetna or Gibel did thus vomit flames of fire at the top, and streams of fire at the side, accompained with such horrid noise and cracking in the Air, such dreadful trembling and shaking of the Earth; other things also were very observable at the same time; such as the swelling of the Sea unto a great and unaccustomed height, with great raging and roaring Waves, the Floods of Water did seem to lift up their heads to see this dreadful spectacle of the Floods of fire, and the Waves of the Sea did lift their voice in great tumult, as being amazed at the horrid aspect of the Waves and Streams of Flames and Brimstone.
The Winds also, which raised this Tempest in the Sea, were high, having broken loose from their habitation, and with great noise and blustering whirled about the Land, in fierce blasts beating upon the houses and unsheltered people in the Fields, as if they would contend for force with the raging and irresistible fire.
