Two Observations, touching the Mounts and Fingers.

1. AS the Mounts adorned with good Figures, and Characters do carry a good and happy Omen: so likewise being vitiated with confused and unhandsome Lines, they ever∣more bode the contrary, and this as well on the Fingers as Mounts, unlesse they be re∣strained by the Confederacy of other Lines that be good.

2. Chiromancers doe Teach and Affirme, That the First Ioynt neare the Mount of the Finger, must be attributed to the First Age: The Second to the Flourishing Estate of Age; And the last unto Old Age. The Markes found ac∣cording to the Nature of the Planets, we have already ••••…••••…ined; concerning which (not∣withstanding wee have formerly admonished it) it is our Opinion, that the Directions, or Progressions of the Principall places in every Geniture, doe in due times, manifest their respective Markes and Characters, whether Fortunate or Infortunate.
