THE
痴鲍尝颁础狈翱鈥橲:
OR,
Burning and Fire-vomiting Mountains,
Famous in the World:
With their Remarkables.
Collected for the most part out of KIRCHER鈥橲
Subterraneous World;
And expos鈥榙 to more general view in English, upon the Relation
of the late Wonderful and Prodigious Eruption of AETNA.
Therby to occasion greater admirations of the Wonders of Na--
ture (and of the God of Nature) in the mighty Element of Fire.
Res semper aliquid apportat novi.
None sadlier knows the unresisted Ire,
Then Thou, Poor London! Of th鈥檃ll- raging Fire.
But these occasion鈥檇 kindlings are but Blazes,
To th鈥檓ighty burnings, which fierce Nature raises.
If then a Town, or Hills blaze be so dire;
What will be th鈥� last, and universal Fire?
Licensed and Entred according to Order.
London, Printed by J. Darby, for John Allen; and are to sold by him at the White Horse in Wentworth Street near Bell Lane; and by Benjamin Billingsly at the Printing-Press in Broad-street near Gresham College, 1669.
