From thence I advanced on towards the north, to the extremities of the earth.

And there I saw a great and glorious wonder at the extremities of the whole earth.

I saw there heavenly gates opening into heaven; three of them distinctly separated. The northern winds proceeded from them, blowing cold, hail, frost, snow, dew, and rain.

From one of the gates they blew mildly; but when they blew from the two other gates, it was with violence and force. They blew over the earth strongly.
