the beholders saying see you these three knaues who will answer yea then pricke away one of those three that you shewed and lay the other two in the place where-from you tooke them and giue the Cards one cut or two you may then wager with them that although you cut away one of the knaues that yet three are together still which they will deny at the first hauing not regarded what knaue it was you did pricke Also if you lay all the coate Cards together and when you haue so done came your companion to cut them foure or fiue or sixe times you may affirme that by his so often cutting of them all the coate Cards are together for being once together the cutting seldome parteth which if you perceiue by the bottome Card cause him to giue them one out more so shall you haue them all together How to know if one Carde be missing what Carde it is TAke the Carss and face them and euer as you tell the pipe and alwayes at euery ten cast it out of your minde and count to ten till you come to the end then maike what number is remaining at the end and see what it wanteth of ten and that is the Card and if ten be remaining you may affirme that ten is missing And by this way may you bid your friend or acquaintance to take out of the decke any Card what he will and yhu will tell him what it is presently As for example a friend takes the Ace of the Hearts and I looke or runne ouer the Cards and passe all the tenne Cards and the rest I tell casting away ten euer as I tell and in the end I finde but nine remaining in tale therefore because nine wanteth but one of ten I know that it is an Ace and I run ouer the Cards againe quickly to see which of the Aces it is and then I affirme to my friend that it is the Ace of hearts To know what Carde one thicketh BID your friend think what Carde he will and then take the packe and lay the Cards Carde by Carde into three heaps with the faces vpward and when you haue done demand in which heape his Carde is and that heape lay nethermost and in this sort doe three times and at the last time the Card which your friend thinketh will be the vppermost of that heape marry if you cast them the fourth time also remembring the Card at the third time it will not so easily be perceiued Another SHuffle the Cards and shew vnto your friend the bottome Card bidding him marke the Card that he know it well then put the Cards behind your backe and turne that bottome backeward that is to say the backe of that Card to the backe of the decke then shew him the next bottome Card and demand if that do his Card then he will answer no and in shewing that Card the other Card is in your sight whereby you may know the Card as well as he Another MArke you the bottome Card priuily and then opening the Cards bid one draw what Card him liketh and when he hath drawne the Card and seene it lay that Card close to your knowne Card and then giue him the Cards to cut or shuffle whether he will and ay that you can tell him his Card or in drawing know when it commeth out which easily you may doe for that it will come either the next before or the next after the marked Carde How to smell out the foure Aces or foure knaues being blindfolded RUbbe the edges of them with a little beaten pepper and you may easily smell them from the rest How to know whether one take vp a King Card or a Queene being absent in another roome THis tricke requireth the helpe of another who must be in that roome and when the Card is taken vp he must first speake and aske his fellow what it is and if he see that the king is taken vp then must he aske his fellow short saying what i st but if the Queene be taken vp he must aske his fellow saying what is it And 〈◊〉 by the demand may he that is in another roome tell iustly whether of them a stander by doth take vp to the wonder of the beholders How to keepe Wine from sowring VVHen you feare that your wine will be sowre by reason of thundring or lightning haue alwayes Looke seeds in store for the same purpose then pound some of them

and sut are and it spoileth the taste o● Oyle for it will not come neere any heat bu● his owne naturall heat that it hath in it self● How to order Oxen when they are newly vnyoaked comming from labour OF all beasts Oren are most subiect t● hide binding and therefore as soone a● they be come from their labour and be vnyoaked you ought to rub their necks where th● yoake touched with your hand and to

How to know all manner of sores IF thou see an Impostume or other sore in what place of the body soeuer it be First take heed to the colour thereof and if it be red and nesh in feeling then it is ingendred of euill blood and if it be hot and moist withall the signes where of it par taketh be Gemini Libra and Aquary the Planet Iupiter and Mercury when the Moone or the Planet be in these signes or in any of them vse no medicines to such a sore If it be red and therewith hard it is ingendred of heat and is hot and dry the signes be dries Leo and Sagittarius the Planets Sol Mars while the Moone is in these vse no medicine to the griened place If if be white gray or blackish affirme saith Hypocrates that it proceedeth of cold and drinesse if it be hard and the signes there unto belonging to Taurus Uirgo and Capricorne and Saturne who is cold and dry is the Planet Whilst the Moone is abiding in one of these signes vse no medicine to such a disease but if the sore haue these last named colours or any of them and there withall be not hard in feeling but nesh say that it commeth of a cold moisture as ingendred of fleame the signes agreeing thereunto be Cancer Scorpio and Pisces the Planets there of answering be Venus and the Moone Thus easily may any one know whereof any swelling or sore doth come as Hypocias saith To make Gun-powder TAke what quantity of Salt-peter you will and halfe so much quantity of quick brimstone small coules made of sallow or willow halfe so much as of brimstone and if you thinke it conuenient you may put thereto a little quicke siluer then being them all to powder and farce them and put these in some hote place Fiue deuices at Cardes HOw to draw out the whole decke of Cauds and to tell what euery Card● is before you drawe it out Take the whole decke of Cards and hold them close together and neere vnto your eye and ouer against you hang a looking glasse and by it you shall see euery carde to the amazement of the beholders Or thus Take a péece of a looking-glasse in your left hand vn●eene to the beholders and so you shall performe the same Also if you thinke these two wayes too open or plaine take the cuppe and put a little drinke in your mouth stooping downe with your head let a little quantity fall vpon the table to the breadth of a shilling then hold your cards as before is said clo●e to your eye vnder the moisture and the cards will shadowin such sort that you may know euery card before you drawe it and it is so hard to be descryed that in seuen yeeres you may scantly be perceiued Againe if you deliuer to your fellow one Card whasoeuer it be at a venture and take two next following your selfe see how many those two are aboue ten and so many you may affirme that you are more then he and more then will make him ten as to make it plaine with an example I put the case that I deliuer to my friend standing by the sixe of Clubs and I take the two next Cards which are the Qu●●ne of Hearts and the foure of Diamonds I say therefore vnto my friend or lay a wager with him that I haue as many as he as many as will make him ten and foure pippes to spare and so is there In like manner I deliuer to a stander by two Cards and take my selfe double the number to wit foure I may say in like sort that I haue as many as he and as many as will make him twenty and so many to spars as I haue pippes in my hand aboue twenty So likewise deliuering three Cards and taking sixe to your selfe you may say that you haue as many as he and as many as will make him thirty and the odde pippes to spare and thus you may doe it to many Cards in doubling the Cards and respecting ten soeuery Card. If your familiar friends be in company you may take three knaues and lay them with their faces downewards but let two of them lye together and the third by himselfe than say to one with whom you may be bold Whether had you rather of occasion serued to make the two Cards which lie together three or to take part with this one and make him two then will he take the one or the others part if he take the two then say to him here I pray you make them three knaues Also if you take the foure knaues and lay them all together in such sort on the top or bottome that the standers by perceiue you not and take three of them and shew them to
