it_o be_v to_o much_o to_o flatter_v the_o blindeness_n of_o those_o who_o afford_v they_o more_o faith_n than_o they_o deserve_v and_o even_o to_o abuse_v the_o time_n which_o our_o employment_n require_v but_o that_o you_o may_v not_o complain_v of_o this_o fore-shortning_a i_o shall_v add_v to_o those_o discourse_n which_o i_o entertain_v you_o with_o all_o those_o reason_n which_o at_o first_o make_v i_o have_v a_o suspicion_n that_o there_o be_v some_o truth_n in_o chiromancy_n and_o that_o it_o may_v have_v more_o assure_a ground_n then_o many_o have_v imagine_v and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o they_o will_v produce_v the_o same_o effect_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o such_o who_o will_v consider_v they_o without_o preoccupation_n since_o those_o very_a thing_n which_o ought_v to_o render_v they_o suspect_v and_o give_v a_o repulse_n to_o those_o who_o will_v employ_v themselves_o therein_o be_v those_o which_o may_v authorise_v it_o and_o breed_v a_o desire_n in_o they_o to_o have_v the_o knowledge_n thereof_o in_o effect_n as_o the_o first_o and_o principal_a foundation_n of_o chiromancy_n be_v the_o disposition_n of_o the_o planet_n which_o it_o have_v diverse_o place_v in_o the_o hand_n for_o it_o have_v place_v jupiter_n on_o the_o forefinger_n call_v the_o index_n saturn_n on_o the_o next_o the_o sun_n on_o the_o three_o mercury_n on_o the_o four_o venus_n on_o the_o thumb_n and_o the_o moon_n on_o its_o inferior_a part_n this_o foundation_n i_o say_v which_o overthrow_v the_o natural_a order_n of_o the_o planet_n and_o which_o consequent_o rather_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o capritio_n of_o the_o first_o inventor_n of_o this_o science_n than_o any_o reason_n they_o have_v to_o rank_v they_o so_o be_v far_o from_o render_v it_o suspect_v of_o falsehood_n from_o thence_o i_o conceive_v it_o rather_o one_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o afford_v we_o the_o first_o suspicion_n of_o the_o truth_n thereof_o for_o the_o humane_a soul_n which_o be_v so_o great_a a_o lover_n of_o proportion_n and_o which_o never_o fail_v to_o adorn_v and_o enrich_v her_o imagination_n wheresoever_o she_o can_v insinuate_v it_o can_v have_v forget_v it_o here_o without_o cause_n and_o that_o she_o have_v be_v force_v by_o the_o truth_n of_o experience_n which_o have_v be_v make_v to_o change_v the_o order_n of_o the_o planet_n which_o it_o have_v so_o exact_o preserve_v in_o metaposcopy_n and_o in_o a_o thousand_o other_o occasion_n where_o it_o have_v the_o liberty_n of_o application_n and_o without_o doubt_n be_v it_o a_o pure_a imagination_n it_o will_v have_v be_v more_o easy_a and_o more_o reasonable_a to_o have_v place_v saturn_n on_o the_o forefinger_n jupiter_n on_o the_o second_o the_o sun_n on_o the_o four_o and_o so_o to_o have_v follow_v that_o order_n which_o the_o star_n observe_v among_o themselves_o than_o so_o to_o transpose_v they_o as_o they_o have_v now_o if_o they_o be_v to_o have_v be_v change_v it_o seem_v it_o will_v have_v be_v more_o fit_a to_o have_v make_v the_o great_a finger_n govern_v by_o the_o great_a star_n or_o to_o have_v assign_v it_o that_o which_o be_v most_o movable_a rather_o than_o the_o three_o which_o be_v least_o active_a so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a probability_n that_o so_o extraordinary_a a_o disposition_n of_o the_o planet_n be_v not_o the_o work_n of_o their_o fancy_n who_o first_o find_v out_o this_o science_n but_o of_o that_o necessity_n which_o they_o have_v to_o follow_v the_o reason_n and_o experience_n which_o mark_v out_o this_o truth_n but_o the_o observation_n which_o aristotle_n report_v in_o his_o history_n of_o animal_n increase_v this_o first_o suspicion_n for_o in_o that_o incomparable_a work_n wherein_o we_o may_v say_v nature_n have_v discover_v and_o explicate_v herself_o he_o assure_v we_o that_o there_o be_v line_n in_o the_o hand_n which_o according_a as_o they_o be_v long_o or_o short_a remark_n the_o length_n or_o shortness_n of_o life_n and_o as_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o first_o of_o the_o rule_n of_o chiromancy_n it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o he_o be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o it_o and_o that_o that_o admirable_a man_n will_v not_o introduce_v into_o a_o history_n which_o be_v to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o fair_a picture_n of_o nature_n any_o thing_n that_o be_v doubtful_a of_o the_o truth_n whereof_o he_o be_v not_o well_o assure_v that_o if_o it_o be_v certain_a as_o experience_n have_v since_o confirm_v it_o there_o be_v no_o reasonable_a person_n who_o will_v not_o judge_v but_o the_o hand_n ought_v to_o have_v a_o strong_a connexion_n with_o the_o principle_n of_o life_n then_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o exterior_a part_n whereon_o these_o mark_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v that_o these_o mark_n be_v the_o effect_n whereby_o the_o good_a or_o ill_a disposition_n of_o those_o principle_n from_o whence_o they_o proceed_v aught_o to_o be_v make_v know_v and_o final_o that_o in_o this_o part_n there_o be_v wonder_n which_o hitherto_o be_v not_o well_o know_v and_o that_o if_o we_o can_v find_v out_o the_o knowledge_n of_o they_o we_o may_v perhaps_o discover_v that_o which_o chiromancy_n boast_v of_o to_o conclude_v he_o that_o will_v but_o mind_n that_o those_o line_n which_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n be_v in_o all_o man_n different_a that_o in_o one_o person_n they_o change_v from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o that_o all_o this_o diversity_n can_v proceed_v from_o no_o other_o internal_a or_o external_a cause_n which_o be_v know_v to_o we_o he_o must_v be_v

the_o articulation_n or_o motion_n of_o the_o hand_n as_o some_o have_v be_v what_o can_v be_v maintain_v see_v articulation_n be_v equal_a to_o all_o man_n who_o nevertheless_o have_v all_o unequal_a line_n that_o there_o be_v many_o where_o no_o articulation_n be_v as_o in_o the_o space_n which_o be_v betwixt_o the_o joint_n of_o the_o finger_n that_o child_n new_o bear_v and_o who_o all_o shut_v their_o hand_n after_o one_o manner_n without_o almost_o make_v any_o motion_n yet_o have_v many_o line_n which_o be_v different_a in_o every_o of_o they_o that_o those_o who_o exercise_v the_o same_o

the_o antiquity_n of_o chiromancy_n which_o must_v have_v be_v in_o use_n before_o aristotle_n since_o what_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o line_n of_o the_o hand_n be_v one_o of_o its_o observation_n and_o
