of Jupiter In the root of the Fore-finger 3. of Saturn In the root of the Midâ—le-finger 4. of Sun In the root of the Ring-finger 5. of Mercury In the root of the Little-finger 3. FERIENS THE Feriens or Smiting part taking its name à Feriendo or Percutiendo is that part of the Hand which we turn about in giving or receiving of things And this is the Mount comprehended betwixt the Mensal and Discriminal Lines under the Tuberculum of the Little-finger the which is attributed to the Moon 4. CAVEA THE Cavea is the Hollow place in the middle of the Palm wherein the Three Principle Lines Cardiaca Epatica and Cephalica make the Triangle And this is given to Mars 5. MENSA THE Mensa is the Interval or Space betwixt the Thoral and Epatica the which is given to Fortune Whence the Thoral is called The Line of Fortune VERSUS Est Pollex Veneris sed Jupiter Indice gaudet Saturnus Medium Sol Medicumque tenet Hinc Stilbon Minimum Feriente candida Luna Possidet In Cavea Mars sua Castra locat Venus the Thumb and Jove the Index guides Saturn the Middle Sol the wanton Brides Stilbon the Least Luna the Ferient And Mars in Cavea doth pitch his Tent. Here we must Note That there is some difference amongst Authors concerning the places of Mars Venus and Mercury For some give the Tuberculum of the Thumb to Mars The Cavea to Mercury The Regioâ— of the Little-finger to Venus Now to satisfie my self I first of all observed such Men as were Venereal that is such as were given to Jeasting Fair Merry Agile Lovers of Musick c. And thesâ— I found had the Region of the Thumb plainly Marked with decent Signs comely Notes and Characters And that not without their Nativities portending the Luxury of Venus she being either collocated under her Proper Prerogatives in a competent place of the Figure or in a good Aspect of some Planet The like regard I had concerning Mercury Wherefore the Cavea belongs to Mars The Practical part of Chiromancy The Practick of Chiromancy is that which gathereth probable Predictions from Lines the Places of the Planets in the Hand and From the Notes and Characters every where posited in the Hand and Fingers Wherefore let this Series be Observed for Method-sake 1. Cardiaca or the Line of Life 2. Epatica or the Liver Line 3. Cephalica or the Line of the Head and Brain 4. Thoralis or the Table Line 5. Restricta or the Dragons Tayl. 6. Via Solis or the Suns way 7. Via Lactea or the Milky-way 8. Via Saturnia or Saturn's way 9. Cingulum Veneris or the Girdle of Venus 10. Via Martis or the way of Mars 11. Mons Veneris or the Mount of Venus 12. Cavea Martis or the Cave of Mars 13. Mons Jovis or Jupiter's Mount 14. Mons Saturni or Saturn's Mount 15. Mons Solis or the Sun 's Mount. 16. Locus Lunae or the Moons place 17. Mons Mercurii or Mercury's Mount 18. Mensa or the Table 19. Pollex or the Thumb 20. Index or the Fore-finger 21. Medius or the Middle-finger 22. Annularis or the Ring-finger 23. Auricularis or the Little-finger QUESTION Whether we must Judge by the Right-Hand or the Left IT is certain that in one Hand the Lines and other Signatures are very often more manifest and by their Featness more perspicuous than in the other as well in Men as Women Wherefore a Question hence arises whether in both Sexes the Right or Left Hand is to be taken Or whether the Right Hand in a Man as some teach and the Left in a Woman only ANSWER THat Hand in both Sexes which shews and exhibits the Lines thereof most clearly and abounds with a Series of Characters and Signs yet so as that the other whose Lines are more obscure may pay its contribution If in both Hands they consent and appear to be fair and comely they declare a Constancy of Fortune and Health The cause of which diversity is this He who is Born in the day time and hath a Masculine Planet the Sun Saturn Jupiter or Mars Lord of his Geniture bears the more Remarkable Signs in his Right Hand especially when the Sign Ascending is also Masculine The contrary befalls those that are Born by Night so oft as a Feminine Planet predominates and the Sign Ascending is Feminine If both Hands agree it must needs be that in a Day-Nativity the Feminine Planets Rule Or that there falls out a Mixture of Masculine and Feminine So in the Night by the contrary Reason Which Diversity must necessarily be observed 1. Of the Line of Life This is also called Cardiaca or the Heart-Line 1. WHich being Broad of a Lively-colour and decently drawn in its Bounds without Intersections and Points shews the Party Long-Lived and subject but to few Diseases 2. If slender short and Dissected with obverse little Lines and deformed either by a Pale or Black colour It presageth weakness of the Body sickness and shortness of Life 3. If orderly joyn'd to the Natural Mean and beautified in the Angle with Parallels or a little Cross it argues a good Wit or an evenness of Nature 4. If the same have Branches in the upper part thereof extending themselves towards the Natural-mean it signifies Riches and Honour 5. If those Branches be extended towards the Râ—stricta it threatens Poverty Deceits and Unfaiâ—â—fâ—lness of Servants 6. If in this Line there be found some confused little Lines like hairs be assured of Diseases and they to happen in the First Age when they appear below if towards the Cavea in the Middlâ— if towards the Epatica in the Declining Age. 7. If this Line be any where broken it threatenâ— extream danger of Life in that Age which the place of the Breach sheweth For you may find out almost ad unguem the Dangerous or Diseased Years of your Age if this Line be divided into 70 parts you begin your number and account from the lower part thereof near the Restricta for the number falling where the Breach is determines the Year 8. If the Character of the Sun as commonly it is made by Astrologers be found in this Line it presages the loss of an Eye But if two such Characters the loss both Eyes 9. A Line ascending from the Vital beneath the congress of it and the Epatica to the Tuberculum of Saturn designeth hominem 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 That is An Envious Man who rejoyceth at anothers Calamity the scite of others concurring This also frequently shews a most perillous Saturnine Disease as is the Plague c. in that part wherein it touches the Vital And so much the worse if it cut the same 10. But such a Line passing from the Vital to the Annular or Ring-finger promiseth Honours to ensue from or by means of some Famous Woman or Queen or the gainful Favour of some Lady of Honour 11. The Vital Line thicker than ordinary at the
So the same Planet doth also Luxuriate in the like Inclination being Excellently Posited both in her Exaltation and in the Horoscope Her Longitude is Calculated from the Alphonsine Tables as being the surest and best for finding of her Place 2. In like manner the Place of Jupiter appeareth in both Hands well-disposed even as he possesseth his own House in the Geniture and a good Place of the Figure For the 11 th House is called the joy of Jupiter Both these Planets administring the Geniture so Favourably Import a Glorious and Lasting Fortune the Place of Saturn excepted 3. For he brings Captivity yet not so heavily because he is in Cancer and disposing of the 12 th In the Right Hand he le ts fall a Line beyond the Place of Mars the which grows crooked towards the Ferient but is more streight in the Left Hand The Progress of the Mid-heaven to the Opposition of Saturn points out the 36 or 37 Year At what time other Characters also will appear on his Tuberculum which shall bode some Misfortune at Hand 4. The Peregrination Line proceeding from the Cavea of Mars towards the Restricta appeareth in the Left-hand But in the Right it is Cut and conveys it self to the Cephalica Hence we gather a various Fortune in Journeys Venus Lady of the 9 th House and in the Horoscope maketh the Journeys Prosperous Mars in the third impugns that Prosperity but yet Venus prevaileth Mars so posited premonstrates great strifes with Brethren and Kindred 5. The three Parallel Lines drawn from the Tuberculum of the Sun and Mercury to the Vital promise him Fortune in his own Countrey and this by the means of Courtiers Learned Men and the Nobler sort of Women Which Significations are confirmed by the small Lines that are found in the Mensa of the Right Hand All which depend upon Jupiter Venus and the Sun 6. The Place of Mercury is not altogether Barren and therefore he not destitute of Ingenuity Besides the Cephalica and Lords of the Geniture are Assisting unto him 7. The Mensal of the Right Hand is extended by a continued Tract to the utmost part thereof But in the Left it passeth not the Tuberculum of Mercury Wherefore That declareth a strength of the Principal Members or Genitals This some hurt or loss therein especially in the Genitals But what that hurt or loss will be is not so boldly to be determined 8. The Epatica of the Right Hand passeth not the Extremity of the Ferient as it doth in the Left This shews a Decrepid Old Age That otherwise notwithstanding it is decently enough produced 9. The Vital agrees in both Hands as well in the Draught as tacture of other Lines Wherefore the little hairs in the beginning thereof presage a Diseased Infancy Other Diseases are premonstrated about the 14 21 25 32 c. Year of his Age We will also observe the 56 Year wherein if the Native shall escape an Apoplexy without danger then will we allot him a Longer Life Without doubt those Years will answer to their respective Directions Example XVII Another Born in Thuringia under the Latitude of 51 Degrees A. C. 1588. September 21. at 7 in the Morning 1. THose Planets which have Predominancy in the Geniture are also very clearly to be seen in the Hand Venus Mercury Jupiter and Mars The Via Solis and Via Saturni are both Dissected The Region of the Moon presents an obscure draught 2. Therefore Venus giving a Star in her Region shews a mind that is Lascivious Ingenious Merry c. as before we have described Pag. 23. concerning her Ingenuity Wherefore the Positure of Venus most exactly agrees in the Hand and Geniture for here she glittereth in her own House and in the very Cuspe of the Horoscope Her Oblique Ascention is 202 degr 15 min. That is 15 degr 15 min. of Libra 3. Mercury by the like Reason shews his Fortunate Assistance exhibiting on his Region both a Star and a Cross with convenient Incisures So in the Geniture he is most excellenty well seated being in a competent Place of the Heavens in his own Mansion Whereby he confers the things that be of his Nature with abundance of Favour See before viz. pag. 31. where we have Treated of the Rule of Mercury 4. The Cingulum Veneris not obscure confirms the incontinent Lasciviousness and Luxury of Venus The same Dissected under the Finger of Saturn and the Sun declareth Losses by the means of Lusts This Decree is confirmed by Venus in the Horoscope Retrograde in Libra 5. You see also the Dominion of Jupiter noted by Incisures and a double Cross. This confers Honours and renders the Native a Goodly Person jocund c. He there peculiarly administers Aid Inseparable He is direct in the Geniture And although in his Detriment yet he rejoyces in that Place of the Figure as being near to the Tayl of the Lion and the Dragons Head and his Dispositor strong and Fortunate But because he is within 10 degrees of Mars and Afflicted by the Square of Saturn he abates somewhat of his Favour 6. There is indeed a Sister of Mars notwithstanding it be but obscurely drawn letting fall a cleft upon the Tuberculum of Jupiter I told you before that I had very often found out the Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars in the Geniture from such an appearance of the Sister of Mars Therâ—fore Mars thus found nigh to Basiliscus or Regulus increaseth his Courage and Anger Yet bodes it a desired end of Contentions Mars in partile Opposition to the Moon doth sometimes occasion Adversities in Honours Marriage Sons and Moneys Moreover this Position of his takes away the Favour of the People 7. The Epatica Cephalica the Triangle and Mensa are all exceeding well Formed Besides the Mensa is decently adorn'd with Lines that are drawn thither from the Region of Venus By all which we generally Conjecture not only a more Prospâ—rous and Healthful Habit of the Body than ordinary but also Ingenuity the best Endowments of the Mind and Dignities that be Excellent especially within his own Countrey and by the means of such Persons and things as are Dedicated to Venus 8. The Line that passeth from the Vital by a crooked Path through the Concave and Epatica to the Ferient in the Mensa whereunto other Incisures likewise tend beneath the Region of the Sun do intimate Strifes in Old Age for Defence of his Honour and Estimation 9. The Via Lactea being of it self fairly Furrowed denotes the Goodness of his Brain Favour of Women sweetness of Expression and Fortunate Journeys The like Mercury in the Geniture as being Lord of the Ninth House in his own Mansion in a good Place of the Figure and free from the Rays of the Malevolent Planets 10. The other Intricate Lines in the Triangle presage a confusedness in those Affairs which belong unto Mars the Moon and Mercury 11. The Via Solis is interrupted by the Cingulum Veneris
