If the fourth remove into a place not beholding it, or be afflifted of the infortunes ; it is an argument the Caftle will be taten, and the Governours thereof fiibjeft to danger.
If ill Figures be in the fourth Houfe, the place be* fieged will be taken by treachery and bafenefs , and that inaftiorttime. t
If a Figure in the fourth be in the fecond, firft or tenth, the Governour no doubt hath received a good fum of money for the delivery of the place, and in (horc time will furrender it.
But if none of thefeAfpei^s happen , but on the con- trary the fourth Hoiife and his Lord fliall be fortunate, and free from all manner of impediments , and that the fourth be in no manner of amity with the firlt ; the City. ^er. then befieged (hall not be taken by the Army begirting it.

Although there be but few perfons in the world but have piiblick Enemies ; yet I prefume there may be fome (although they are rare to be found) that have none 5 confideri/ig that he is curfed that all men fpeak well of. And we look upon a perfon evil {po- ken of and envied, to have fome notable parts beyond other men : but to finde whether a perfon have enemies or not, thefe Rules following will fliew you.

Thofe Figures are enemies that are Dor cP to the firft, and the Rulers and Idea's fignifie the quality of *hem : the Houfes they are in, help your judge rent much in this point.
The Figure in the feventh Houfe teaches you to know what manner of perfoa he is or ihe is.

tioii , and give aftivity and fpeed in all things. Now the feventh Houfe, atidthe Ruler and Idea that governs the Figure that is accidentally projefted, particularly are fignificators thereof, unlefs the thing ftiayedbea Beaftjd^c.
If the firft and feventh be in company or good a- fpCtfls, it declares the Fugitive^ &c, to be coming home again.
But if the aforefaid fignificators behold each other by D or cP, or fnall move into thofe places, where they have no afpeftatall; it denote-; the Fugitive to be un- willing to return again, and an unlikelyhood of the Que- rents having him again. If the feventh Wheel about the third or ninth Houies , you 'i^ay judge the Fugitive is gone a journey, and will not fnddenly be found again. IfaHorfe, Ox or Cow^e^c. beftrayed, obfei-ve what is in the twelfth Houfe; and obferve the fame Rule as before, onely with the change of the Figure of your Houfe.
The feventh Figure by projecting falling into the twelfth Houfe of the Figure or queftion, denotes the Fugitive to be under the bonds of Reftraint, perhapi in prifon: B^rz^i^e/projeftedfo, argues the fame.
If the fccond Figure ftiall be found in another Houfe, theBeaftjC^c. or thing ftrayed is taken into cuftody, and driven and fold.
If the fixth or twelfth m.ove into the ninth or tenth; it argues the Beaft ftrayed to be either in the pound, or under the command of fome Of- ficer.
The feventh, twelfth or fixth, fortunated by the good Figures of Hifmael and Kedemel , and theii* Idea's Fi- gures fortunate in the iecond, fifth or eleventh Houfes, or Fortu7ia Major in A unto them there, they are very likely to be found again.

If the figijificators be in watry Houfts, and Idea's wa- try incorporated into their Figures , theStrays,f^c. are Northward, and in fome moift morifh place: Ifthe Idea's and Figures be Airy, they are V Veftward, and in Mountainous and high places : If Earthy, they are Southward, and in melancholy defert places of WoodF^ &c. If Fiery^ they are Eaftward, and in open places, where ground hath been lately digged up, &c.

Of things lofi^ if recoverable or not ?
FOitunate Figures in Cs ot -^ to the firft Figure or fecond, or ot the Part of Fortune, and pofited in '^ pe firft or fecond Houfe, declare a recovery of the thing loft ; either of the fortune Figures in the fiift and fecond, are very certain arguments of a recovery of the thing or things loft.
Bi]t if the feventh (hall remoye into the eighth, or if fhefirftandftcond cannot agree, ovi^Sorath be in your Figure, and Hafmoday^ not beholding each other,or 0 5 or when they are under tbc Earth, there can lie ao refti- jutjon pf the goods Ipft.

Who is the Thief? and of his age andfex.
THe Figure in thefeventh hath naturally fignificatlon of Theft and Thieves.
Now they ufually obferve the nature of the fecond, and what Figure afflifts Tiiitrqf a contrary Ruler and Idea , and that fignilies the Thief.
if the Figure be mafculine afflifting the fubftance, it denotes the Thief to be a man: If the Figure be Femi- nine, and move into a Feminine quarter, you may judge the Thief is a woman.
ZazH fignificator of the Thief, (hews the Thief to be old, except in the firft, twelfth or eleventh Houfesj Hifmael y B arzabe I 3ind ^Sor^?^, about thirty, or fome- what more; Kederneimd Taphthartharath^ youthful; Hafmoday according to her age in the Figure Oriental, young ; Occidental, more aged. And thus much may inftrud you how to finde the age and fex.
V.
Are there more Thieves then one ?
MAny Figures afflifting thefignificatorsof fubftancc ( it matters not whether they be peregrine oj: not) (liew many Thieves, or more then one.
If the figniticatorof the Thief be in -X- or^, with double-bodied- Figures, there are more Thieves thea one.
The Angles fixed, and the fignificator of the Thief fixed , in no afpeft with any good Figure, fave with the iignificators of fubftance or ©3 thefe denote but one Thief.
