Who are the Querents secret Enemies?

When you finde by the former Rules that the Querent hath secret Enemies, then by the following Rules you may know who they are: If the Lord of the 12th afflict the Lord of the Ascendant from the third, and the Lord of the third also afflict the Lord of the Ascendant in like manner, you may judge it is some Neighbour, Brother, Kinsman, &c.

If he be posited in the 4th, it signifies the Querents Father; if in the 5th, a Fellow∣gamester, Alehouse-keeper, or some of the Querents Children, if he have any, are his e∣nemies. If from the 6th House, an Uncle, or some of the Querents Servants: if the Lord of the 12th afflict the Significators of the Querent, an over-thwart Neigh∣bour, Page  270the Querents Wife, and one that in time will make himself publick; and so of the rest of the Houses in order. And so I conclude with the resolution of this Question.
