THe knowledge of the Marks, Moles, &c, of eacli Querent by Ait ; is a good way to veritie your jFigure, and prove it Radical, as we (hewed be- ifore.
Jf the Figure that rules the hour, be in any of the four Angles -, and the Moles,e^c.ofthe Perfon enquiring correspond exaftly wi^i the Schea n erefted : The Artift may fafely proceed to judgement. Now the p.ulc£ obfervable, are thefe following.
Having projected your Figure, confider the Figure in the firft Houfe.and the Idea and Ruler that governs it, ^nd what part or member in mans body ihey govera: for the Querent hath a Mcle, Mark or Scar in that part of his body. Exar.ple : If Pucr be in the firft Houfe, it is a cutJn the head or face, or burn, or red Mole : If C(!.n']unrnn^ it is on tl^ belly , vi^. a Mole, Mark or Scar : |f F^ella be in the Hi ft, it is on the Reinsj viz, a Mark, ^c, ITK/z/'a/jj the Secrets.

Confidcr if the firii Figure go into any other Houfe out of the firft, the Querent hath a Mole in that pare alfo ; Conlider Popuhis^ and wherefoever (he is, that Houfe and Figure tells you in what part the C^iercnt hath another.
What Figure is in the fixth Houfe, notes ufiiallya Mark, Mole, or Scar in the Member it fignifieth, as you may read in the '26 Chapter of the firft book: If Career or Trifiitia fignific the Mark, &c. it is ge* nerally an excrefcence of a dark obfcure or black co* lour.

If the Significator of the Mole, &c, be iq the firft, feventh, eighth, ni!ith,tenth,eleventhand twelfth of any queftion •, it is then vilible to the eye, and other forepart of the Body : but the other Houfes fignifie the Mole is not to be ftQ[-\j but is on the back-part of the Body.
If ill Figures be in the firft, theQ^ierent is ufually hlemillied : for the Face is fignified by the firft , let what Figure foever bein it.
Thefe Failes will hold true upon the Body of the Quelitcd Mutatk Mutandis. As fuppofe one ftiould

enquire ofaMiftris, or fwcet-hcart, or wife, &c, and in the Members thofe Figures fignifie , (he (hall have Markes, Moles, or Scars.
The Hebrew, Caldean, Greek, Arabian, Latine and Egyptian Doftors of this Art , teach you, as we did in the firft Book, to frame the Witnefles and the judge. The firft Witnefs they put for the Querent : And if it were good, and agreed with thefc on the right fide 5 and if the Judge were even and good, and agreed with the (ccond , third , fourth , ninth, tenth ; they faid the fignification of the demand (liould coT.e to a good end : But the left Witne(s was contrary *, and if the Judge confented to it , and the Figure on that fide ; the queftion or thing fought after (hould come to an ill end.
Butbecaufe we could never finde truth in the Wit- nefles, we never regarded their Judge, becaufc we finde no reafon for what they faid: and fo let them pafs. We will give judgement upon the twelve Houfes , as we have experienced to be true.
