you_o but_o observe_v and_o mark_v the_o direction_n therefore_o you_o must_v first_o note_n that_o there_o be_v twelve_o leaf_n upon_o the_o which_o be_v twelve_o chapter_n contain_v the_o question_n which_o any_o one_o may_v inquire_v for_o be_v divide_v into_o twelve_o space_n now_o if_o you_o desire_v to_o know_v the_o answer_n or_o fortune_n of_o any_o of_o the_o say_a question_n then_o observe_v precise_o in_o which_o of_o the_o say_a house_n your_o demand_n be_v in_o for_o every_o of_o the_o say_a leaf_n be_v number_v at_o the_o top_n than_o you_o must_v observe_v which_o of_o the_o space_n you_o have_v choose_v for_o they_o be_v number_v in_o the_o margin_n then_o keep_v in_o your_o memory_n the_o say_v 2._o number_n first_o of_o the_o house_n then_o of_o the_o question_n with_o these_o two_o number_n resort_v to_o the_o table_n which_o on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v prepare_v for_o that_o purpose_n be_v square_a contain_v twelve_o division_n or_o space_n both_o way_n which_o be_v 144._o space_n in_o all_o then_o you_o shall_v find_v another_o particular_a number_n write_v which_o begin_v at_o the_o upper_a corner_n on_o the_o left_a hand_n &_o go_v down_o thwart_a to_o the_o low_a corner_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n continue_v his_o number_n to_o twelve_o which_o be_v the_o number_n of_o the_o twelve_o house_n so_o that_o first_o seek_v among_o these_o number_n the_o number_n of_o the_o house_n where_o your_o question_n be_v and_o there_o set_v your_o finger_n or_o mark_v it_o well_o then_o remember_v your_o second_o figure_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o

what_o number_n soever_o it_o be_v you_o must_v call_v it_o one_o and_o so_o tell_v forward_o the_o square_n towards_o the_o right_a hand_n until_o you_o have_v tell_v to_o the_o number_n of_o your_o

exceed_v twelve_o now_o if_o it_o chance_v that_o the_o house_n be_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o square_n as_o be_v the_o figure_n 6._o or_o 7._o and_o that_o you_o have_v tell_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o last_o square_n you_o must_v then_o go_v on_o to_o the_o other_o end_n of_o the_o same_o space_n continue_v your_o tell_n until_o you_o come_v to_o the_o number_n of_o your_o question_n i_o mean_v to_o tell_v so_o many_o room_n or_o square_n as_o the_o number_n of_o your_o question_n be_v so_o that_o if_o your_o number_n be_v the_o 5._o or_o 6._o you_o must_v tell_v 5._o or_o 6_o square_n from_o the_o number_n count_v it_o for_o one_o till_o you_o come_v to_o your_o number_n and_o there_o now_o again_o rest_v your_o finger_n dye_n the_o use_n of_o the_o dye_n for_o that_o you_o have_v do_v with_o the_o first_o square_n and_o now_o for_o your_o chance_n throw_v the_o dye_n dodechedron_n and_o mark_v true_o what_o number_n stand_v uppermost_a on_o the_o dye_n and_o then_o in_o the_o table_n where_o you_o hold_v your_o finger_n say_v one_o tell_v downward_o in_o the_o space_n as_o before_o you_o do_v thwart_v or_o sidewaies_o between_o the_o line_n and_o so_o continue_v tell_v until_o you_o come_v to_o the_o number_n that_o be_v on_o the_o dye_n and_o if_o you_o come_v to_o the_o bottom_n before_o you_o have_v your_o number_n go_v up_o to_o the_o upper_a end_n in_o the_o same_o space_n continue_v your_o tell_n till_o you_o come_v as_o be_v say_v to_o the_o number_n on_o the_o die_n and_o there_o in_o that_o
