The second sheweth a very plain and easie way to give judgement upon an astrological figure, concerning the transaction of humane life, viz. of the state of the body, riches, brethren, fathers, children, sickness, marriage, death, long journeys or voyages, honour, friends, imprisonment, or any other question whatsoever may be answered.
