of_o the_o paripetecians_n aristotle_n say_v the_o hand_n of_o man_n to_o be_v make_v of_o nature_n the_o principal_a organ_n and_o instrument_n in_o man_n body_n for_o since_o it_o be_v his_o office_n to_o minister_v and_o serve_v all_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o that_o in_o human_a generation_n the_o virtue_n power_n and_o strength_n of_o all_o membre_n do_v come_v together_o it_o be_v very_o consequente_a and_o agreeable_a some_o certain_a sign_n and_o token_n of_o the_o quality_n and_o complexion_n of_o man_n to_o be_v know_v and_o perceive_v by_o the_o hand_n such_o be_v the_o proportion_n of_o membre_n among_o themselves_o that_o they_o do_v partake_v one_o with_o another_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o further_o that_o this_o art_n of_o chiromancy_n be_v use_v in_o the_o time_n of_o pliny_n he_o himself_o do_v affirm_v wherefore_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v my_o duty_n to_o admonyshe_v you_o what_o you_o ought_v to_o attribute_v to_o this_o art_n and_o what_o

with_o few_o disease_n or_o sickness_n pliny_n affirm_v the_o same_o say_v that_o it_o be_v token_n of_o long_a life_n to_o have_v upryght_o shoulder_n &_o two_o long_a incision_n or_o line_n in_o

of_o this_o thing_n for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_z as_z the_o blood_n be_v pure_a or_o unpure_a so_o the_o line_n shall_v be_v colour_v either_o clear_a or_o dark_a so_o as_o long_o as_o

towards_o the_o mean_a natural_a it_o signify_v a_o man_n of_o good_a counsel_n of_o subtle_a understand_v and_o of_o a_o high_a and_o princely_a mind_n and_o stomach_n and_o if_o it_o be_v broad_a

red_a in_o the_o part_n next_o the_o wrest_v it_o signify_v cruelty_n and_o oftentimes_o it_o chance_v to_o be_v fork_v in_o the_o upper_a corner_n which_o betoken_v a_o unstable_a man_n a_o runner_n about_o country_n and_o marueslous_a in_o all_o his_o do_n the_o which_o if_o it_o be_v crooked_a &_o writhen_a towards_o the_o mean_a natural_a line_n if_o signify_v a_o crafty_a disceitfull_a wanton_a and_o a_o man_n of_o a_o perverse_a and_o froward_a mind_n and_o if_o you_o happen_v to_o find_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o woman_n a_o cross_n with_o three_o small_a line_n at_o the_o upper_a corner_n of_o the_o line_n of_o life_n it_o signify_v a_o unshamefaste_a and_o unhonest_a woman_n but_o if_o that_o cross_n be_v find_v about_o the_o right_a corner_n in_o the_o line_n itself_o and_o be_v deep_a in_o it_o signify_v a_o ungodlye_a and_o mischevous_a woman_n which_o shall_v suffer_v great_a punishment_n for_o her_o mischief_n for_o such_o a_o cross_n in_o that_o
