A Direction, shewing how they who are so
disposed, shall find out their Chance, in the
Lotteries aforegoing.
TUrne about one of the Indexes in the Figures, which are in the following Page, without casting your eyes thereupon, so observe where it stayeth untill your hand ceaseth to give it motion. If it be the upper Figure, whose Index you moved; than, that Number whereupon it resteth, is the number of your Lot, or Blancke.
This being knowne, move the other Index in like manner, and that Quarter of the said Figure whereon the same standeth (when your hand is taken away) sheweth in which of the foure Bookes, or Lotteries, that Chance is to be expected, whereunto your Number doth send you, whether it be Lot, or Blancke. If it be any Number above Fifty, it is a Blancke Chance, and you are to looke no further. If it be any of the other Numbers, it sends you to the Emblem answering to the same Number, in the Booke next before the same Lotterie.
If the letter M. be placed before the alotted Number; then, that Lot is proper onely to a Man: If W. stand before it, it is proper onely to a Woman: if there be no letter, it is indifferent to both Sexes: And, therefore, when a Man or Woman happneth on a Chance impertinent to their proper Sexe, they are then, to take the next Chance which pertaineth properly to their Sexe, whether it be Blancke or Lot; the triall whereof, I have thus contrived, without the use of Dice; lest by bringing them into sight, they might, sometimes, occasion worse Gaming.
If King, Queene, Prince, or any one that springs
From Persons, knowne to be deriv'd from Kings,
Shall seeke, for Sport sake, hence to draw their Lot;
Our Author sayes; that, hee provided not
