A Discourse of the Planets and Signs of the Zodiack with Observations upon their power and influence on the Bodies of Men Women and Children GOverning the body of man as second Causes substituted as it were by the wise Creator and Governor of all things are 7 Planets called wandering Stars whose influence greatly operates in all Sea●ons and disposes the mind to act and do as well as urging or pushing on their good o● bad Fortune and the highest of these is Saturn a Planet disposing men to slowness in business melancholy danger and such ways as expose them to many Misfortunes The next in order is Jupiter whose influence is more mild and benign giving a chearful heart ●nd prosperous progress in affairs whose kind ●spect many times qualifies and allays the malignity of his superiour Planet Mars is ●beneath him who predominates over fiery ●pirits stirs up to rashness war wranglings ●roils and the like but he again is temperaed by the Sun's influence who moves beneath ●im and in men creates chearfulness dispo●ing them to be healthful and vigorous and ●ose that are born under the Domination of ●is glorious Planet for the most part attain ●onour and high preferment Venus moving ●ext beneath the Sun disposes those o're ●hom she has a peculiar influence to a gentle ●ild and loving temper dispelling wrath ●d hatred Mercury is next creating levi● and fickleness of mind where he has domi●on Beneath him and moving nearest the errestial Globe is the Moon which imme●●ately governs all watery bodies and flegma●k humours her powers the Ocean feels in ●● Ebbs and Flows as does the blood of man ●any other things are attributed to these anets as secundary causes disposing the bo●●es and minds of men rendering them for●ate or unfortunate of which I shall have ●asion to discourse hereafter Their chief ●ts in man's body are these and are known by these Characters viz. Saturn ♄ in th● left Foot Jupiter ♃ in the Stomach M●● ♂ in the Genitals the Sun ☉ in the Head Venus ♀ in the left Arm Mercury ☿ in t●● right Arm the Moon ☽ in the Head a●● from these Parts their influence moves ●●● turns as they are predominant througho● the whole Body and have more or l●● force according to the sign they are in 〈◊〉 respect to the time of the Party's Nativity which Signs of the Zodiack or Imagina● Circle are known by these Characters vi● Aries ♈ Taurus ♉ Gemini ♊ Cancer ● Leo ♌ Virgo ♍ Libra ♎ Scorpio ♏ Sagitarius ♐ Capricorn ♑ Aquarius ♒ Pisces ♓ Through the twelve Signs t●● Suns progress makes our Year and rende● the Seasons to Mankind distributing He● or Cold as it ascends or retrogrades A● thus much at present for the Planets and Celestial Signs CHAP. II. A Description of the Lines in the Hand and Mounts their Scituate How they communicate with the other parts of the Body and by what Planets they are chiefly governed HAving given you Reader some insight into this great and mysterious Science shall now come nearer to the material matter and let you understand by what mea● the Fates of Mortals may be foreseen and many eminent dangers prevented by a time● imploration of that God in whose hand● is all the breath of Life and on whom alon● our safety depends And first you must understand that of all the members of the b●dy none so plainly exposes our Fortunes ●● Fates as the Hand for in that the God of N●ture has ingraven legible Characters to b● read by the studious and industrious ●● whom it is his pleasure to reveal such Secre● And those are the Lines and Joynts ● apparent in the Palm Thumb and Finger● which have an immediate intercourse though by devious ways with the chief seats of lif● having divers Names derived partly from the place of intercourse But for the mo● easy understanding I shall give you only the● usual and proper Names As 1. The Line ●● Life or Line of the Heart governed by th● Sun 2. The Cephalique or middle Natura● Line governed by Jupiter and the Moon ● The Line of the Brain governed by Mercury 4. The Table Line or the Line of Fortune governed by Jupiter 5. Venus's Girdle governed by that Planet 6. The Line of Death● or Sister to the Line of Life governed by Saturn 7. The Percussion governed by Mars and the Moon 8. The Circle of th● Wrist is left to Mars in Aries Besides these are divers other Lines not common to all Hands As the way of the Sun and milky way and way of Saturn and therefore are called uncertain Lines not greatly taken notice of in Chiromancy The scituation or place of the Lines above-named I thus discover viz. The Line of Life incloses the Thumb separating it from the plain of Mars The middle Natural Line takes its beginning at the rising of the fore-finger near the Line of Life and ends at the mount of the Moon The Line of the Brain commonly called the Liver-line reaches to the Table-line making a Triangle thus The Table-line or Line of Fortune begins under the mount of Mercury and ends near the Index and the middle finger The Girdle of Venus begins near the Joynt of the little finger and ends between the fore-finger and middle finger The Line of Death c. when it plainly appears is a counter-line to that of Life and therefore is called it's Sister ending as it ends The Percussion is between the mounts of Venus and the Moon The Wrist-Lines commonly called Rescetta are no other than those Joynts that part the Hand As for the mounts before-mentioned they are no other than the fleshy parts or little risings at the Roots of the fingers c. And are called by the Names of sundry Planet● that rule them nor are they insignificant in this Science As for the Fingers and Thumb there are divers marks on them worthy of consideration and are governed viz. the Thumb by Venus the Fore-finger by Jupiter the middle by Saturn the third by the Sun the last by Mercury and of all others tha● has the nearest communication with the Heart As for the hollow of the Hand it i● attributed to Mars according to the following Verse To Venus rule the Thumb we do commit The Finger first to rule mild Jove thinks fit The next old Saturn does dispose and guide To Sol's bright rule the third is ever ty'd The Brawn the Moon with watery Beams directs The Hollow Mars with pointed Rays affects The least Finger has Mercury's Aspects And thus much at present for the Line c. of the Hand from discoursing of which I shall proceed to other Marks worthy 〈◊〉 Observation CHAP. III. An Explanation of Marks or Sacred Characters on the Hands of Men and Women as they signifie either good or bad Fortune IN the Hands

debility of the parts with extream leanness are tokens of Death And thus much I have thought worthy to be noted as to these Observations useful in many kinds whereby the sudden or latter approach of Death is signified or threatned to languishing Mortals and is one main pare and one main end of Physiognomy CHAP. XXXII How to find out the Genius of a Countrey and be sensible of its wonderful effects THough this may seem strange to the in credulous even to such as will not be lieve any thing beyond the ocular demonstration yet certain it is there is a secret influence proper to peculiar places more immediately affecting and protecting one place than another that is participating of th● nature of the Planet has greater Influence and as a secundary cause much augments to the felicity or infelicity of Mankind and therefore is called the good or evil Genius and by the Ancients was much observed in all their undertakings nay was stiled their Guardian or the Goddess Fortune To know the Genius consider the humour that predominates in the Body whether Flegm cholerick blood or Melancholy which may be known by the lines in the hand A● for instance if they be red he or she is of a cholerick humour which sympathizeth with the nature of fire and consequently the Genius is of the fiery Region of the Hierarchy of Gargatel or depends upon Tariel Tubel Gaviel his Substitutes which may be discovered by the colour of the lines according to their agreeableness with Fire Air and Water or consistent with Earth The first being red the second pale or whitish the third of an azr re or bluish and the fourth of a dusky or dar kish colour and the Genius's participating of these Elements have their stations assigned in the four Quarters of the Universe If i● happen to be one of the fiery Figures of Geomancy which are in number four viz. Fortuna-Minor Amisso Rubeus and Cauda Draconis or if it happen in one of those of Mars which are Acquisitio Puer Tristitia past doubt the Angle or Genius is of the Region of Fire having its Regency in the South and coucludes Tuesdays to be the fortunate days of those who are born under their influence If in the Hand the lines and veins be narrow and long appearing of whitish complection somewhat inclining to redness they denote an airy or sanguine Constitution the Genius in that case being of the Hierarchy of the Air attributed to Raphael and under him to Miel and Seraphiel and those born under them are generally wise virtuous great studiers of Arts and Sciences having their happy days on Wednesdays If in the Hand Lines and Veins appear long and bluish mixed with white strokes that denotes the party to be of a flegmatick Constitution the Genius in that case referring to water and have their Regency in the North the principal is Gabriel having under him Samuel Mediel Mael and the person born under their protection shall be wonderful fortunate in Sea-affairs If the Lines and lesser Veins in the Hand are found broad short and thick of a dark dusky colour the Constitution is Melancholick in which cause the Genius is found in the West Uriel being Superior and under him Cassiel Salchiel and Assasiel inducing to learning the study of profound Sciences and their happy days are Thursdays As for these Geniuses they do not always dispence their immediate influence or assistance to mankind but predominate more at one time than another communicating strange things As for the Genius of the fiery Hierarchy ruling in cholerick persons it is to be observed powerful in its operation when the Sun is in Aries and Leo in the Months of March and July As for the Genius of the Air it is most powerful in March and April the Sun being in Aries and Taurus The Genius of the Water when the Sun is in Capricorn and Aquarius in the Months of December and January The Genius of the Earth when the Sun is in Libra and Sagittarius in the Months of September and November and at these times in Critical hours the Ancients affirm that they appear to the sight of such as they protect or infiuence in sundry shapes representing their power and grandeur according to their Hierarchical degrees but it being a mystery too deep for the capacity of the unlearned full of ambiguities I shall the brieflier pass it over and proceed to other useful matters CHAP.
