Christianus per ignem. Or, A disciple warming of himself and owning of his Lord: with devout and useful meditations, fetched out of the fire, by a Christian in a cold season, sitting before it. A work though never out of season, yet more particularly, designed for the seasonable and profitable entertainment, of them that would well employ their leisure [sic] by the fire-side. : [Three lines in Latin from Alsted]Christianus per ignem.

Yea, huge Floods are vomited up, from the Abyss, o• the other Water ⟨p. 67⟩that had communication with it, and the Sea it self, without the least Breath of Wind stirring, undergoes the greatest perturbation imaginable, and swells perhaps to make whole miles of Desolation. The Fire in this hideous Disturbance now makes its own way […] also, by Volcano's and by Springs, and Baths, and the cracks of the opened Earth, and, qua data porta— wherever it can. Countries much subject unto Earthquakes, have commonly some of those Fiery Vents, which we call, Volcano's; by means whereof, the Earthquakes do less mischief, than otherwise they would. And such Countries having also much Sulphur and Nitre in them, hence Ensue the dreadful Thunderings and Lightnings, that use to be at the Explosion of those Minerals, when they are Fired; and those with other Minerals then Fired, may cause the Mortalities that Earthquakes use to be succeeded withal.
