Shews the Native shall meet with many Afflictions and Adversities, which he shall sustain with much Resolution: Yet it also shews him a••gry and fretful, and one that keeps naughty Company. It also makes him merry and chearful; yet he may fall in love to that degree, that he may be ready to die for his Mistress; but if the Nativity be by Night; he shall be Unconstant: It also shews that in Age he shall grow covetous: He shall thrive by Navigation, especially if he Trade toward the East; for from thence his Fortune shall arise. If the Native be a Women, she shall be modest and bashful, of a fearful disposition, and very much addict∣ed to travel.
