 The hour of Mercury is very good, but chiefly from the beginning to the middle. He that is born in this hour, has stature inclining to tallness, a sharp long face, large eyes, a long nosonose [sic], his forehead narrow, a long beard, and thin hair, long arm and fingers, of a good disposition, and obliging temper, much given to reading, and very desirous of knowlodgeknowledge [sic], delighting to be among books, very eloquent in his speech, and yet addicted to lying, and if he is poor, he is commonly light fingoredfingered [sic].

The hour of the moon is both good and evil, according to the day; for from the fourth to the seventeenth it is good to thosothose [sic] that aroare [sic] born under it; but from the seventeenth to thothe [sic] twentieth it is counted unfortunatounfortunate [sic] to be born under it; and from the twentieth to thothe [sic] twenty-seventh very happy. He that is born in tho hour of the moon (especially upon her own day) shall bobe [sic] palopale [sic] faced, of a thin meagre visage, with hollow oyeseyes [sic], and of a middling staturostature [sic]; he appears very courteous and obliging, but is very crafty and deceitful, variablovariable [sic] in his humour, malicious, and his constitution phlegmatic.

Thus have I given thothe [sic] reader thothe [sic] judgment of ancients upon thothe [sic] planctaryplanetary [sic] hours, and what thoythey [sic] portend to those that are born under thomthem [sic], by which a person, comparing himself to what is here set down, may easily know under what planet he was born.

To be born the first day of thothe [sic] new moon, is very fortunate, for to such all things shall succeed well; their sleep will bobe [sic] swectsweet [sic], and their dreams pleasant; thevthey [sic] shall have long life and increase of riches.
