a thick cloud which then appeared* red, and by the
higher parts of the aire which because they are more
rarified and pure, than the neather, appear to be most
blew, which Theopkrajltts in his Book of Colours wit-
nesseth, saying:
it 0<z&i Sves’Kjxh'K \yyvttiTTu tpamTOi to kvavohMs
7?jy «f<«l97W7tt.
Again, while a candle, oyl, wood,or any thing that
consisteth of fatnessse burneth, the ssame next to the
the candle it self, at the neather end of the weeck ap-
peared blew, because there is but a thin and a weak
light joyned with a thin, weak, and airy moisture,
the top of the ssame is red, because it there adhered*
to a smoaky and thick earthy body, whereupon all
earthy and sooty ssames are red ; the ssame oi Aqua*
vita is most blew, because it is so rare and thin, that it
is scarce able to burn, but heat in Coals, Ironjand the
like, is most red, because it is contained in thick,
drossie, and earthy bodies.
Red is named in Armory Gules, it signifieth a war-
like disposition, a haughty courage,dreadleiTe of dan-
gers ; among Planets it is attributed to Mars, among
Stones to the Rubie.
Cosnt. Proceed (1 pray you) to Green, and then I
think we have done with those colours proper to
Arms.
Green is termed by the name of F>rt,and it is com-.,
posed of white and thin red,and Iastly blew ; for if you
mingle blew with a little yellow, you sinali have a Pop-
ping jay green, if with much blew and yellow, a sad or
black green, if but a little more blew than yellow, a
Seawater green, &c. It is called Verty of the Latine
wordviridify contra&ed into the French, it signifieth
hope and youth,ic appertained to Venus^among Stones
to be Emerald.
