The Special Practice of Chiro∣mancy, and its Genethli∣cal Concordancy, in Nine∣teen Examples.

I Have Read in Authors, That the Characters of Places, and the Faces of Lines, are represnted according to the Position and Habitude of the Predo∣minating Planets, in every Geniture: And I found it so: Nor shall I (anon) deny it verified in my own: But met with none that had ever brought Exampls, or Collected any thing of this Nature. Whereupon, I more Ardently endeavoured to make Tryal thereof my self, That so the Truth, and Excellency of this Science, might (both with me and others) remain fully approved of and certain. And having observed one, and another Example, manifesting their Concor∣dancy, by a more Covetous and diligent search, I quickly found the like Harmony in divers others, Nine∣teen whereof (Ingenious Readers) I now expose to thy view: Read, Understand, and Judge. As for the Ig∣norant, let him either Learn, or be Silent: And for the Envious, God send him his Health, and let him upbraid where he pleaseth.
