To know whether the Thief be in town or not.

Behold the significator of the Thief, and if that you find him in the end of a sign direct or separating from combu∣stion, or applying to a Planet in a Ca∣dent house, say that he is gone or going out of town.

Also if the Lord of the Ascendant

be in one quarter, and the Moon with the significator of the Thief be in ano∣ther above 90 degrees asunder. It de∣notes the Thief is out of Town a pret∣ty large distance from the querent.

But if they be in Angles and apply∣ing to Planets in Angles, then say that the Thief is no large distance from the Querent, more especially if that the Sun and Moon be both in one quarter of heaven.

If that you find the significator of the Thief going out of one sign into a∣nother, the Thief is either gone or go∣ing out of town.

Say the same if you find the signifi∣cator of the Thief departing from the Sun beams.

And according to the place and quarter that the significator of the Thief is in, and likewise the sign that he is in, judge that way he is gone.

If that the significator of the Thief,

or one of them be in Angles, he is not gone out of Town as yet but is near the Querent.

If in succedant houses not far from him, and chiefly if that the Lord of the Ascendant and the Moon be both in one quarter.

If the significator of the Theif be in a Cadent house then he is gone far, especially if that the Lord, the Ascen∣dant and the Moon, be more then 90 degrees asunder.

If that the Lord of the seventh be in Angles with the Lord of the second, the Thief is not out of the Town and Parish of the Querent.
