ANSWER.

THat Hand (in both Sexes) which shews and ex∣hibits 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 ap∣pear to be fair and comely, they declare a Constancy of Fortune and Health. The cause of which diver∣sity 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 Remark∣able Signs in his Right Hand, especially when the Sign Ascending is also Masculine. The contrary be∣falls those that are Born by Night, so oft as a Femi∣nine

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.
