the father of the family or Master of the Lodging Of Egges EGges to Physitians Paynters and th●se which sell and trade with them are good to others it is good to have little store of them and signifyeth gain but plenty of them is care pain noise or law suits Of Monsters or things against Nature YOu must understand and hold in generall that all Monsters and impossibilities according to the course of Nature are vain hopes of things which shall not fall out Of Bookes BOoks are the life of him which dreams of them to dream to eat them is good to Schoolemasters and all which make profit by Bookes and which are studious for eloquence to others it is suddaine death Of Partridges PArtridges signifie men and women but most often women without conscience ungratefull hard Of Snares SNares and detaining impeachment and sicknesse to servants they are loyalty honour and authority for which the unthankefull shall be deposed To those which are not maried they are weddings to those which have no children they are a signe that they shall hade Of Stripes IT is good to whip and scourge those only which are under us except our wife for it should be a doubt that she hath been naught others bring profit to them which beate them To be scourged of the gods of the dead or of our subjects is not good but the good of them It is alwayes good to be whipped with rods or with the hand and signifyeth profit but with leather reedes or cudgels is not good Of Stripes TO dreame to be dead is wedding to him which is to marry for death and mariage represent one another And therefore for the sicke to dreame they are maried or they celebrate theyr Weddings is a signe of death For him which hath a wife to die signifies separation from her or his companions friends or parents for the dead keepe not company with the living nor the contrary To him which is at home it signifies he shall go abroad it is a good dream for fathers for poets Orators and philosophers for the first shall have children which shall live the others shall compose workes worthy of memory Moreover I have made experience that this is a good dreame for those which are in heavinesse or feare for the dead have no more feare and heavinesse Also to those which are in suit for inheritance and which would buy lands for the dead are Lords of the earth In other Law-suits this dreame is not good but for sick it heales them for the dead are sicke no more it is all one to dreame that you are dead or that you are caried and buried for dead to dream to be buried quicke is not good for often it signifyes prison and captivity Be it good or evill that death signifyes if one dreams that he is killed by an other mans hands that good or evill shall come by his means if one dreams he kils himselfe the dreamer shall have that good or evill which death signifyeth by himselfe Death by sentence of Justice makes our goods or evils greater to be hanged or strangled by another or by himself is trouble and anguish it is also change of place and house to be burned quick signifyes as much as to be scorched with Lightning whereof we have spoken above but properly to the sick it is a signe of health to yong folks calamities concupiscence and heats of youth to be crucified is good to those which would go to sea and to the poore but to the rich the contrary to the unmarried it is weddings to servants liberty it is also change of place to be crucified in the town is to have such an estate and office as the place requires where one dreams he is to have combat with beasts is good to the poore and signifyeth goods whereby they may nourish themselves and entertaine a traine to the rich it is anger and injuries To many this hath béene a token of sicknesse it is liberty to servants if they dream they are killed by the beasts Of carrying another or being carried FOr to carry another is better then to be carried inasmuch as it is more honour to give then to take For he which carrieth representeth him which doth good or a pleasure and he which is carried him which receiveth to be carried by a woman a childe or a poore person is meanes of profit and supportment It is good for a servant to be carryed by his Master and for the mean man to be carryed by the rich Of the Dead ONly to see the dead without any other accident or speech is to be in the same estate and affection wherein the aforesaid dead persons were towards us For if they were our benefactors the dream signifyeth good and joy to vs and so on the contrary it is excéeding bad when the dead séem to cary away and take from us apparell goods money or victuals for it seemeth death to the dreamer or to some of his parents or friends if the dead give us victuals money or apparell it is a good dream but to such as they give none it is another case I knew a man which dreamt that his wife being dead made all the beds in his house and the next day after many of his greatest friends fell sicke Of Money and Treasures SOme say that to dreame of money and all kinde of coyne is ill But I have tryed that little money of Brasse and Bullion signifieth heavinesse and angry words But money of silver words and talk of great affayres of gold farre greater ●t is also better to dream to have little silver then much because that one cannot employ great heapes without payne and fare to finde treasure hid in the earth if the treasure be little the evill shall be little if great the evils great with anger heavinesse or death for they open the earth for the dead as well as for the treasure Of Weeping TO weepe and grieve whether it be for any friend departed or for any cause it is joy and myrth for some good act and not without reason for our spirit hath some affinity and resemblance with the exteriour ayre which invyroneth us As therefore ayre is always subject to change from fayre weather to tempests and from tempests to fayre weather and a calm so it is likely that our spirit changeth from heavinesse to joy and again from ioy to heavinesse And therefore also to be merry is a signe of heavinesse But the party must have some cause of sadnesse otherwise to be sad without cause were a signe you should be sad for a cause Of a Tombe FOr to have a sepulchre or tombe or to build one is good for a servant for he shall have liberty and to him which hath no childe for he shall have one that shall survive him also it is often a signe of mariage and getting of lands it is a good dream in generall both to rich and poore but graves falling or fell
