dark Hair, and no comely person; he is inclined to vitious and sordid acti∣ons, delights in letchery, whoring, and all beastial actions.

In Gemini, he represents one of an in∣different tall Stature, an oval Visage, the Hair black, or a sad brown, a well pro∣portioned Body, humane, and ingenious; but of a perverse nature.

In Cancer, he signifies one of an in∣different Stature, of a sickly constitution of body, thin Face, sad brown Hair; some∣times the person is crooked, ill-shaped, and ill-conditioned, inclined to malice and hatred.

In Leo, he represents one something tall, big-boned, not very much inclined to fatness; the Hair of a light brown; his conditions are indifferent good, but something passionate and revengeful.

In Virgo, he signifies a tall spare body, swarthy Complexion, sad brown or black Hair; a melancholy person, something inclined to Study; malicious; and when angry, it will be long before he be plea∣sed again: he is inclined sometimes to theft, and a person of reserved thoughts.

In Libra, he represents a person of a large Stature, a well-composed Body, an

oval Visage, a large Forehead; he hath sad brown Hair, he is high spirited, well conceited of his own actions, some∣what prodigal and expensive, soon mo∣ved to anger.

In Scorpio, he signifies a person of a low Stature, broad Shoulders, sad brown or black Hair; he is quarrelsome, and much given to debate and contentions, and all sordid actions.

In Sagittary, he represents a well-com∣posed person, of an indifferent large Sta∣ture, brown Hair, courteous in his beha∣viour to all persons, but will not take a∣ny abuse; he is cholerick, but soon re∣conciled.

In Capricorn, he represents one of a middle Stature, not very tall, a lean spare person, long Visage, little Eyes, sad brown or black Hair, a duskish Complexion; he is covetous of worldly goods, a melan∣choly person using but few words; he is peevish, and will retain anger a long time.

In Aquarius, he gives a middle Stature, brown or black Hair, rather inclined to fatness than otherwise; he is of a cour∣teous disposition, of an ingenious fancy; a lover of Arts, yet conceited of his own ingenuity.
