2. If the Line of life extends itself from the root of the fore finger to the mount of the Moon, or the brawn of the hand, it then denotes long life: but if it be cut short, and divided by many crosses, the contrary.
3. If the girdle of Venus, which reaches from the outside of the hand to the root of the middle finger, be fair and well proportioned, not cut or divided by cross lines, it denotes to the party extraordinary advantage by marriage.——Several little crosses upon the Liver line, which runs directly upon the hand, denotes sickness and an unhealthy constitution; but if it be fair and clean it signifies health and long life.
