a Monday the twentieth of June If a line in the like nature end in the plain of Mars with one cross denotes a man born on the tenth of March two crosses on the twentieth If so it happen to a woman or woman-kind she is born on the same days in October If it end toward Mercury's mount in the like nature then Wednesday for man in May the woman in August If so it end under the mount of Jupiter Thursday is the day and November and February the months assigned The middle line failing towards the mount of Venus denotes Friday the day in April or September If the same line fail towards the mount of Saturn then is Saturday the day and the month December and January If it fail towards the mount of the Sun it falls out on a Sunday July being assigned for the month And so according to the crosses and figures which frequently happen at the end of that line according to their signification may be found any day of the months already assigned Now the next thing which remains is to know the hour which is generally observed by the colour of the Eyes if they retain their native colour and are not perished by bruises or defective by other accidents and must be taken thus If the Birth be directly about midnight then will the eyes appear extream black If at one of the clock they will be somewhat shining At two of the clock the party being born the eyes will have somewhat of a dark green in them with dusky balls Those that are born at four will be greenish but the green a little lighter inclining to an Olive-colour After four or at five the party being born the Apples ●f the eyes will incline to a whitish though somewhat related to a bluish The party born at or between six and seven will have the apples of his eyes half blue and the remainder a kind of a wall colour The party born at or between eight and nine hath the circuit of the centre of the apple blue and the centre of a party-colour At or between ten and eleven the party born has the eyes all blue with a few marks At twelve they begin to be somewhat greenish though much shining At or between one and two in the afternoon the party being born has eyes between blue and green At or between three or four they are of a pale green At or between seven or eight they are coloured yellowish with some small matter of green At or between nine and ten they have red spots in them though being of the same colour with those immediately foregoing The party born at or between eleven and twelve are as for the eleventh hour somewhat inclinable to redness but from that time blacken to the twelfth And thus much for the hours of Night and Day in every one of which throughout the year either Male or Female if not both are born and although it cannot be positively affirmed to be an infallible sign yet it is wonderfully to be observed seldom failing the party in his Judgement who makes due inquiry As for the year if we have regard to Chiromancy in that case it is known divers ways as by the lines of the Wrist Forehead as for the Wrist the lines signifies thirties of years but as age increases those lines are extinct decreasing by little and little as if the first line be half extinct then shows it that the party is fifteen years of age and to be quite extinct thirty four lines in the Wrist being generally the most though some have five and by an equal measure in this case any year may be known by dividing a whole line into thirty parts a half line into fifteen and so to the quarter or almost extinction or end As for Age it 's likewise seen in the Forehead and this by the Rule of Metaposcopy and on the first year appear but to the seventh year when upon the left side extending to or towards the Temple from the Ear there is a little line which denotes that age and if it descend to the Forehead it denotes the party to be between ten and twelve years of age if it so fall out that it is apparent in cutting through the Forehead it signifies the party to be in the twenty fifth year and according to its length the years under twenty five are to be guessed or imagined according to the Rule of this Art and Science If there appear considerably divided thirty years are signified and from five and twenty to thirty according to the length of the third If there happen a fourth it signifies by its length forty fifty sixty seventy and eighty years especially if there happen another half line on the right side the Forehead but beyond this or especially exceeding five they are referred to the Alfridaries and cannot or at least but with great uncertainty in this case be known but is better understood by wrinkles or lines in the extremities of the Eyes reckoning twenty years to every line and equally for the rest though in young people especially of the Female Sex these rarely unless they laugh or frown much and then you must take heed lest you are deceived by taking those for lines that are none but rather appear so by the parties distorting his or her Face CHAP. XXIX A Discovery of the time of Marriages or in what year of their Age the party will be Married by certain marks and rules appearing in the Hand IN this case several things are to be considered as first Consider the space between the root of the little finger and the end of the Table-line upon the mount of Mercury measuring from the root of the little finger to the middle of the mount not on the edge or side for in that a great mistake oft happens and in so measuring account from the root of the finger to the middle of the mount thirty years and from thence to the Mensual or Table-line the like quantity of years and so begin at the root of the finger according to proportion counting half of the first half which amounts to fifteen and proportion it by degrees to seventeen eighteen twenty or more till you bring it to thirty observing what year according to this proportion touches the first line and at that number of years according to the division of the proportion the party whether Male or Female shall alter his or her condition by Marriage if more lines appear measure them by proportion from thirty thirty-five forty fifty and all the years between according to a due proportion a second Marriage is to be noted or a third if any such thing is designed or more and may thus fully be known by a due proportion and mensuration answering to Marriage or Marriages according to the division and course of time To know your fortune or misfortune on this occasion note that where the lines are fair as also the usual Characters as Parallels Crosses Stars Scales

the birth by reason Libra follows which is her proper House As for Mars and Saturn it is held on all hands that their Influence is not so pernicious in their own Houses as in Houses proper to other Planets by reason their proper Houses being more natural to them they pour not out their malign influence to that degree as is other cases As for the rule of the Planets by turns they are these On Saturday the first hour of midnight reigneth Saturn The second hour Jupiter The third Mars The fourth Sol. The fifth Venus The sixth Mercury The seventh the Moon And so beginning again in the like order hold on their course throughout all time making their changes each Planet ruling the first hour of that day attributed to it as Sol Sunday Luna Monday Mars Tuesday Mercury Wednesday Jupiter Thurday Venus Friday Saturn Saturday And their dispositions are these Saturn causes a firm and stable prudence Jupiter a righteous justice Mars a constant force and puissence Sol an ardent charity and good nature Venus mildness and affability Mercury fluentness of speech and a wary cunning Luna a moderate temper softness and effeminancy Therefore the hour of Saturn is good to undertake deep Councils and Affairs that require great prudence to conduct and bring them to perfection The hour of Mars ●o undertake warlike enterprizes or any ●iolent or dangerous attempts Jupiter's hour ●s good to enter upon Places Offices and Preferment The hour of Sol is good to require and seek for the favour of Potentates and great men The hour of Venus to sollicite Love and seek a reconciliation with those who are at enmity with you The hour of Mercury to undertake the out-witting or circumventing your adversary The hour of the Moon to enterprize business of Navigation or any thing relating to Water Again Saturn causeth death dearth and peace Jupiter a cessation of quarrels and strife a quiet and temperate life Mars Winds Thunder Lightnings Quarrels Contentions Strife and Blood-shed Sol Long-life Health and Prosperity Venus causeth Vigor-Love Friendship and Fruitfulness Mercury causeth Controversies Law-suits Contests and Contentions The Moon causes great Floods and Inundations Dropsies and all watery Diseases incident to either Sex And thus much as to these particulars CHAP. XXXVI Of the Pythagorean Wheel commonly called the Wheel of Fortune and what is to be observed thereby as to good or bad Fortune relating to man or woman ALthough this by some may be esteemed needless in a treatise so amply furnished with variety yet that nothing that may contribute to the advantage of the Reader in this nature may be omitted I have thought fit to insert these following Instructions Would you know the result of any Question chuse a number not exceeding thirty that you best fancy to that add the number or the day and the first Letters of your Name which probably may stand Figures divide the number by three and if the result be even then will what you demand come to pass but if odd not or at least not without vexation and delay Would you know whether you shall enjoy the party you love in this case take the first Letters of your Christian and Sirnames add thereto the number of the Planet and day of the Week all which in one conjunct number divide by thirty and if it fall out in the upper part of the Wheel you will have your wish but if it happen in the lower part you will find many crosses if not altogether miscarry therein Another understanding of this Wheel is thus Chuse a number according to your pleasure add to it the day of the Month then the Letters of your Name which united in one sum divide by thirty which number if it happen to be 154 so divided the overplus will be 14 which number being found in the upper part of the Wheel promises success but if in the lower part renders it doubtful if not altogether impossible to bring to pass Another way there is by Alphasier in case of Victory or who shall overcome which is by comparing the Names of the parties and substracting the numbers of signification adding to each the number three and in such cases the day of the Month and the Planet being the additional if the three or thirteen remain the Supernumerary to one of the parties he may expect success and so in other cases relating to love business friendship fidelity riches truth falshood prosperity and adversity honesty dishonesty malice evil intention fraud or the like too tedious herein to be inserted CHAP. XXXVII An account of the good and bad days in each Month relating to Sickness and Health IF any party fall sick on the first day of the Month the third day is to be feared the which if he pass he will in all probability recover If on the second day he or she fall sick though the sickness may be tedious yet is there great hopes of recovery He rhat falleth sick on the third day if he pass the next change of the Moon there is great likelihood of his recovery He or she that falleth sick on the fourth day is in danger of continuing sick to the twenty-eighth day To fall sick on the fifth day denotes much pain and trouble yet promises a recovery To fall Eck on the sixth day threatens the party with danger of death after a long sickness To ●ll sick of any dangerous disease on the se●enth day may notwithstanding hope for recovery To fall sick on the ninth day pro●ises a speedy recovery To fall sick on the ●enth day is dangerous To fall sick on the ●leventh day promises a speedy recovery To sll sick on the twelfth day is in danger of ●eath within fifteen days following To fall Eck on the thirteenth day denotes the recovery will not be besore the eighteenth day To fall sick on the fourteenth day promises ● quick recovery To fall sick on the fifteenth day denotes danger of life unless the party recover within eighteen days after following To fall sick on the sixteenth day promises a recovery after much affliction To ●ll sick on the seventeenth day denotes the party to be in danger of death To fall sick on the eighteenth day denotes the party soon to recover To fall sick the nineteenth day ●enotes the party shall recover To fall sick the twentieth day signifies that sickness to be ●hort and that it will end in health To fall sick the twenty-first day promises a recovery if the party escape the ten days following To fall sick on the twenty-second day promises the same with the twenty-first He that falleth sick the twenty-third day though he shall endure much pain shall recover To fall sick the twenty-fourth day signifies the sickness to be very short and the like is signified to the party falling sick on the twenty-fifth day he that falleth sick on the twenty-sixth day shall before the sixth day of the insuing Month recover He that falleth sick on the

As for example if the party be white have a long Nose fair Hair and thick Eye-brows a brown and shining Eye he or she so having is born under Venus being ad Instar in the first part of Taurus which is found to be the first House of that Planet and that known in the manner aforesaid proceed by way of question having well considered the month day hour and minute you will past doubt find this Sign Taurus whether it be in the House of Life which is the First or Tenth called Helligiack the House of Dignities and Honour Riches and Prosperity and from the figure you shall thereupon erect you may draw the certain significations as the learned Belat did of a great man in France of which he gives us this description My procceding says he were thus without desiring to know the day or hour of his Nativity or his Age having well considered his Physiognomy I plainly perceived he was Flegmatick having black Hair red Eyes great Eye-brows and a Mouth sufficiently rising up great Teeth a fat Neck and corpulent Body my question being made the eighteenth day of March at seven of the Clock in the Morning in the Year 1623 I sound that the Ascendant of his Physiognomical question was Libra in the tenth Degree which is the last of the first part My question was to know how long he should live what should be his fortunes or misfortunes briefly what should happen in his days I erected the Figure and thereupon made certain quadrains and resolutions the better to have the signification understood As thus The FIGURE The Tenth House 12 of Cancer The Eleventh House 19 of Leo. The Twelfth-House 17 of Capricorn The Ascendant 10 of Libra The Second House 3 of Scorpio The Third House 3 of Sagitary The opposite Signs and Degrees making the Figure compleat thus The position of the Planets Saturn in the 5 of Capricorn the North-Angle Jupiter in the 3 of Virgo Mars in the 2 of Aries Sol in the 2 of Sagitary Venus in the 13 of Capricorn the North-Angle Mercury in the 22 of Sagitary The Moon in the 3 of Gemini the Angle of the Ninth House So that computing these he found he would be very prosperous in his affairs but be of an unhealthful constitution that he should live long be happy in his relations that he was born in 1601 on a Tuesday 2 Min. past 3 in the Morning Mars being Radix in his Nativity which all appeared to be true and gave the party infinite satisfaction And thus much may suffice as to Nativities and their Calculation a thing not to be pried too far into seeing we are Gods Creatures and therefore ought to submi wholly to his will and disposal CHAP. XXVII A short Discourse of Corilimancy and of the Rod by which hidden Treasure is sound THis tho' it may seem strange to some has been proved to the advantage of divers If you seek for a Mine of any Metal or suspect Treasure to be hid in any place you may take a Hazel-rod forked in the manner of ♈ and it being according to the Rules of Astrology gathered when the Sun enters Aries or Leo Mercury being combust strip off the Bark and fasten to the forked ends a string with a piece of Metal at the end of it equally poized and then stick it lightly in the ground the Metal hanging above ground and notwithstanding your endeavor to poize it never so equal it will by degrees bend or incline towards the place where the Mine or Treasure is doing so by sympathy or a secret instinct for which no man could ever give an exact reason no more than for the Needle touched with a Load stone's turning to it beloved North and by this means some Persons have enrich'd themselves in discovering Mines and hidden Treasure But ever observe the Metal on your Wound must be the same with that you search after that is of the same sort whether Gold Silver Brass Lead or the like and this fortune mostly happens to such as have a V or Y in their hands a sacred character of which I have before spoken CHAP. XXVIII A second Observation of Nativities here known or give wonderful guesses by the marks or lines of the Hand Eyes Forehead and the like CErtain is it that man according to the opinion of Ancient Philosophers and Learned Men of all Ages being a little world that is the Epitome of the great one many rare and wonderful things are to be observed if seriously considered but more especially in these particulars for from the Nativities of either Sex many future events derive their power and efficacy and fall not out as some will have it by chance but in a manner by course and are liable in a great nature to be foreseen though hardly to be prevented for when man intending so to do uses divers means and moves with great circumspection yet by ways he perhaps dreams not of many accidents and contingencies fall out between the Cradle and the Grave some happy and some unhappy and the best way to prevent any danger threatned by the malignant influence of the Planet or other causes is with humiliation and low prostration to beseech the Supream Maker Governour and Disposer of all things to avert it who is only able and whose sole will is fate in whose power all things are and with the same readiness obey his voice Mankind excepted as at his word they were made still we see the Sun keeps his course distributing to the World light and suffering darkness to take its turn the Moon and Stars move orderly and know their appointed times and seasons heat and cold dispossesses each other by turns The Clouds give rain and the Earth fails not to give her Increase the Fowls of the Air the Fishes of the Sea and the Beast of the Field serve to the end for which they were ordained with many more too tedious to recite when men for the most refuse to live up to that more immediate knowledge that they are endowed withal and improve that to their Maker's Glory which in the end will redound to their immortal felicity But not to paraphrase too long upon the general I shall proceed to the proposed particulars As thus Taking the hand of the party the day of whose Nativity and what future Observations you are desirous to make it being that Hand on which the lines are fairest for in some Hands by labour they are worn out and well marking the middle natural line where it ends the beginning of it being at the root of the line of Life take notice whether there be a cross there or not or that some other line cut it not as also to what part of the Hand they bend for if so it happen that it bend and end near the Moons mount it signifies the party to be born on a Monday being the tenth of June if there be two crosses it denotes the Birth to be on
