and debate When this line is ioyned with the mean natural so that they both make a sharpe corner the same man shal be in many daūgers bothe of bodye and minde that he shall be euen wearye of his life And if he lacke the meane natural line that the table line ioyninge to the line of life do make a sharp corner or point I iudge that that manne shall lose hys heade or bee deadlye wounded and shall neuer bringe nothinge to passe If this line be deuided that one part loke towarde the meane natural thother towarde the hil of Saturne it is a token that he shall be often in daunger of his life and yet escape The same line beinge subtile and straite at the ende vnder the hil of Iupiter it signifieth a gouernor of houshold and promotiō or rule ouer his brethren kindred and equalles If it hathe incisions ouer againste the middle finger it betokeneth a flatterer and a double tonged manne whome fewe menne shall loue If a line comminge directlye from the quadrangle to the hil of Saturne deuidinge the table line do make a little crosse there it threateneth violent death For as this line is a token of greate felicitie and good fortune if it passe by the hill of the middle finger and stretche beyonde the hill of the forefinger so likewise not touchinge the middle finger and endinge vnder the hil thereof is a signe of extreme pouerty and many calamities and daungers Thē this line hauing any interruptiōs or incisions liyng scattered it signifieth a folish and an vnconstant man whose study or desire is to be in contētion with women as now to loue now to hate oftentimes to chide fighte with them And this line being depe subtile pale at the end aforesaid declareth an honest chaste man but weake much troubled with sicknesse and diseases But it is an ill signe and specially in a woman whē the line beginninge at the meane natural going to the hil of the middle finger doth both deuide the table and the table line and is forked in the ende And that woman whiche hathe a line comminge from the line of life to the hil aforsaide it signifieth that woman to haue killed her owne childe The whiche line if it turne backeward to the hil of Iupiter it betokeneth that woman shal haue great inheritaunce if that line be redder then the other it betokeneth pain in the bowels knawing about the nauel Again if that line be double cuttinge the table line it sheweth that the man shal dye a miserable death For bothe in man and woman it is a tokē of an il end And often the table line towarde the hill of Saturne or Iupiter is sene forked whiche doth note the man shal suffer many wery laboures and trauailes in his life the whiche the redder it is it sheweth him the more inclined to anger When there appeareth in the same line certaine small lines risinge one by another the more there be the more honorable thei declare him to be to haue the greater power and rule But in whose hande there is no table line at all I coniecture them to be of both kinds il willing contentious angry vnfaithful vnconstant ready to al mischief More ouer if there appeare a line cōming from the table line toward the little finger it is obserued that man neither to be good nor fortunate but couetous angry and horribly sad and also filthie enuioue and a companion of mischief if there apere any lines red betwene the table line the eare finger it betokeneth so many mariages as thei be in nomber but if they be croked and pale thei be already past Again if there be found vnder the roote of the table line certaine croked crosses so many as there bee so many deadly enemies do they betoken When that a line comming from the table to the hyl of Saturne deuide the table line and make a crosse on the ende therof it is saide to be a token of a violent death And certaine wise menne in this science saie that if there be small incisions about the vpper end of the same line it betokeneth sickenes in youth If they be in the middest in middle age if at the other ende in age and if the same lines runne downeward the discase shal be of cholore if they ascend of fleume if they rise out of the midst vpward it shal be of bloude and if contrariwise thei turne downewarde it shall be of melancholye after as his coloure is brighte or darcke Here is to be vnderstande that Cancer Scorpio and Pisces do rule the salt fleume and Saturne causeth all diseases that come of a viscouse or slimye fleume as the morphew leprosy canker goute Taurus Virgo and Capricorne are of like nature colde and drye and rule the melancoly And therfore Venus dothe cause colde and moiste diseases in the throte and priuy membres Likewise the Moone causeth the dropsye fallynge sickenes and appopleri Aries Leo and Sagittarius haue dominion of the cholere agues and biles which come of bloud Likewise Mars dothe rule hote agues fronsies and the worme in the head vnto Iupiter we attribute the cōbust bloud vnto Mercury is applied the diseases of the minde bitter and heauy thoughtes troubled conscience The Sonne bringeth hote drye diseases Al which thinges shal appeare more plaine hereafter wher the nature of the planets signes shal be spokē of wherfore note always that the rednesse of the lines or incisiōs come of the heat of Mars Therefore in all the iudgements of this manuel diuinatiō I wil you to haue respect to the nature of that planets signes wherin the sunne was the time of natiuity or birth And so likewise the Phisiognomy must be taken hede of by that meane the wise iudge shal get both profite praise L. mēsal If there be founde in the line of fortune called also the line of prosperitie thre smal braunches and be ioyned with the line of life and therwith deuide the wreast it betokeneth a good and quicke witte but if it ioyne to those lines as it is here described with a certaine writhinge or crokednesse it signifieth an euel peruerse wicked and a malitious slaunderer and one whiche coueteth alwaie to shede bloude For when so euer you shal see these maner of lines straite remember and haue recourse to the nature of Mars L. mensalis The table line thus disposed that it begin and ende in his due places do declare the good state of the body strēgth of the members of generation But contrariwise if there be no table line at all or that it be withoute braunches shorte and grosse stretchinge oute beyonde the hill of the forefinger it signifieth a mischeuous persone and hard of learninge or vnderstandinge ¶ These three Braunches in the ende about the hyll of the forefinger agaynste the vpper corner is a good sygne bothe in manne and woman Also

childe or els in the place of Venus it she weth a venerous man geuen to incest and aduoutrie and specially if the markes be in the hill Of the finger of Iupiter IVpiter hathe also his proper markes who possesseth that forefinger as is here presccibed in the first ioint they signifie an aduoutrer in thupper ioints riches and speciallye in age The other signes for the most part betoken no yll Of the finger of Saturne SAturne the highest amōgst thē kepeth the midle finger with his priuate charectes here discribed which declare a saturnine mā whose nature you may partly gather bi that which is aforesaid and partly we wil define more at large hereafter Of the finger of the Sunne A Line portured in this sort appearing in the ring finger called properly the finger of the Sunne signifieth long life and prosperitie al other apparances are tokens of euill Of the finger of Mercury THey haue appointed vnto Mercurys the little finger with certaine lines whereby you may perceiue and know a Mercurial here briefly expressed they betoken benefites or offices all other signifie sadnesse melancholy and heauines Of the place of the Moone THe place of the Mone is in the pomel of the hande Wherfore if thou perceiue the lines here discribed rising from the wreste it sheweth sluggishnes in the place of Iupiter dulnesse and folishnes speciallye in women whiche by nature are not very wise
