1. VEnus, Mercury, and Iupiter rule the Geniture: and therefore you see their Regions in the Hand, decently enough a∣dorned.
2. Hence therefore we Prognosticate a happy wit, and other things that flow from Iupiter, Venus, and Mercury.
3. The Triangle drawne with the best Con∣formity helpes the Ingenuity and all the In∣dowments both of Body and Mind.
4. The Region also of the Moon showes her Dominion, the same being Marked with no despicable Incisures: It occasioneth prospe∣rous Journeys, addeth Splendour both to the Body, and Manners of the Native, and gaines the Favour of Women; which very thing the Moone (in Cancer, and in the 10 House of the Heavens) most plainly demonstrates.
5. The Lines of Jupiter are somewhat troubled, and therefore his Condition is but indifferent: yet gives he Honours not con∣temptible, although with some Difficulties, some Impediments.
6. The Conjunction of Venus and Mercury in the House of Venus, and in a Partile Trine of Iupiter, is accounted very Fortunate. For thereby his Mind is excellently enclined unto all such Arts as are dedicated to Venus and Mercury. I see he will prove a most Eloquent Man. The two Parallel Lines (which are drawn in the Forme of a Scale, or Ladder, from the Region of Mercury, to that of Venus;) doe clearly manifest this Conjunction, and the very same judgement. Wee have almost
the same Scale or Ladder in the 15. Example, which gave that Native the Benefit of a vo∣luble Tongue, and a quick Pronunciation.
7. Saturne hath Ominous Signatures upon his Tuberculum, intimating wounds and other grie∣vous Accidents: And the Line which runneth underneath the same from the Thorall, to the Concave of the Hand, threatens a fall from an High Place, or Drowning. The same is Denounced by the Sun in the Geniture, who is Afflicted of Saturne by his Conjunction with him, neare to the Hyades: Mars (Lord of the Eight House) being in his Detriment.
8. The Vitall is thrice touched: First, by a Line running from the Cephalica: but because it breaks not the Vitall, wee suppose the Dis∣ease (thereby signifyed) will not be so grie∣vous, as otherwise: the Moon comes by Direction to the Quartile of Mars, about the 18 yeare of his Age. Besides, the Progresse of the Horoscope to the Body of Mars, about the 47 yeare will agree to the other Incisures. And lastly, the Progression of the Moon to the Square of Saturne, about the 54. year; in all which years, the Native must take heed of a violent Death.
9. The Mensa excellently Rased, confirmes the goodnesse of Wit, and temperament, and the continuance of a plentifull Fortune, &c.
But here it is to be Noted, by every one Desirous of this knowledge: that in the prece∣dent Examples, the Incisures and small Lines, are not all of them Delineated, partly for that they were excedingly slender, and partly be∣cause they could not be described so accuratly as requisite. Besides, we must observe, that even of those Lines which wee have posited, some ought to be more obscure, and slender: others more cleare and Conspicuous; and therefore good Caution must be had, when we would apply them to other Examples. The skill of the Engraver can never follow the Forme of the Lines so precisely, as they present themselves in the Hand. Moreover, we have often omitted some Accommodati∣ons in the Geniture; lest their significations (as considered in themselves) might Nauseat the Readers.
