VVe thought it mete before we spake of Mars, to place hī in the caue of the hād in the triangle, ouer against the na∣tural line: in the which if there apere an∣other perfit triangle according to al the natural properties of the Martialists: you may pronosticate, ye by hew much ye same is larger & bigger the man is to be iud∣ged the more vicious. And specially if it be wel proportioned with the lines. The phisnamye herein is not to be dispised, which I haue therfore adioyned because it shuld helpe the Chiromancier the bet∣ter in iudgemente, otherwise it can not be so exactly iudged. Thei be hie colored in the face, as burnte of the Sunne, thinne heered and curled, small eyes, somewhat croked bodied, with a sharpe and fiers aspecte, boulde, couetous, disceitful, a briber, vnfaithful, a iester, vnshamefast, lighte, vnconstant, angry, seditious, suspicious, impaciente, a mur∣derer, a boaster, a mocker, periured, and a counterfaiter of all thinges, that maye be counterfaited.
