Bernard Weymar and Generall Gotz at the black Wood in Iuly last past The battell of the Prince Palatine and Generall Hartzfield in Westphalia neere Minden where Prince Robert and the Lord Craven were taken prisoners A PRODIGIOVS Eruption of Fire which exhaled in the middest of the Ocean sea over against the Isle of Saint Michael one of the Tercera's and the new Island which it hath made It tooke beginning the third of Iuly of this present yeare 1638. BEtwixt the Tercera's Islands so known to those who saile to the East and West Indies and to Brasile there is a site of water in the midst of the sea distant two leagues from the Island of Saint Michael which the adjoining inhabitants call Ferraria so abounding with fish that it is doubtfull whether there bee any place more plentifull in all the seas In this place nature hath wrought the most portentous case that the ages have seen it was thus On the third of the last Iuly within the bottome of the sea which in the sayd place is one hundred and fifty fadomes deepe like the springing of a mine with a horrible noyse and great horror a space of earth separated it self which would take the sowing of halfe a bushell of wheate with the vehemencie and force of an impetuous fire against which all the waters of the ocean sea it selfe could make no resistance casting up to the clouds the water and earth in severed parts as it were burning torches and very great stones some whereof ascending while others descended and so encountring each other returned by vertue of the new impulse to fly up more than three pikes high others dissolved in pieces did fly as if they had sailed large distances and the broken pieces beeing handled dissolved into blacke ashes and all that circuit of water changing its nature like withered and dry wood ministreth matter if not aliment to the fire which without ceasing doth continue burning A fatall wonder which is so much the more to see that with the multitude of stones which the fire hath cast up there is composed and formed a new Island which takes up a league and a half in length and is threescore fadomes high and it did continue its augmentation and burning until the tenth day of the sayd Iuly as appeareth by an assured relation which was sent to his Majesty whom God protect and is in the registry of State belonging to Portugall All the fish which were within more than eight leagues distance round about died consumed and made worth nothing and the sea cast forth upon the shores of the Island of Saint Michael so great a quantity that it would have filled many of those ships which saile to the East Indies and lest the aire should bee infected they made great pits in which they buried them All the sea boyled for many leagues the smell of the brimstone was felt by the most remote of those Islands the smoake and the ashes filled the aire and hid the light of the Sunne to the admiration of all the inhabitants of those Islands Before this fire there preceded an earthquake which continued more than eight dayes perceived in all those seas and Islands and with a greater noise in that of Saint Michael so that the inhabitants terrified confounded and astonished lest they should perish amidst the ruines of the buildings fled into the fields where they remained for some days confessing fasting and making processions of bloud and other acts of penance as those who feared to to die either drowned with the Islands themselves or consumed and burned with another equall fire Our Lord God was pleased that the wind should be from the land for had it beene from sea it had burned all the townes of the neighbouring Islands and would have occasioned another cineration like that which hapned in those parts in the year 1630. There went many persons to sound the depth of that place and they have found that it hath of depth in the sea more than one hundred and fifty fadoms Let the Speculative ponder and the philosopher search out the cause of so portentuous an eff●ct in as much as the Mathematician seekes rects for his judgement and the Historian knowledges for his discourse Madrid the eighth of September 1638.
