CHAP. XXIII. Of a dowery and other goods by the meanes of marriage.
BEcause the eyght house is succeeding to the sea∣uenth, by good reason it signifieth the profit of the significations of the seauenth, (that is to say) of mar∣riage. If then in the eyght there bee any fortunate Planet, or any part fortunate, the chyld shall haue great dowrie by his wife, and of that side shall meet with great inheritaunces & great goods. To the contrary, if Saturne and Mars be vnfortunate in the said house, hee shall haue small dowery, and the same shall neuer be fully payd.
When the fortunes be in the sayd house vnfortunate, he hath hope of great goods the which in the end he shal not enioy. The Lord of the said place vnfortunate, deno∣teth as much: and if hee be fortunate and coupled with the Significators of riches, it denoteth great goods and great profite on that side. It happeneth well sometimes when the seauenth house is fortunate, and the eyght vn∣fortunate. As that which signifieth a little dowery & des∣peration of other goods towards his wife, & that alwaies he shall be inriched by the diligence, industry, and faith∣fulnesse of his wife.
