Take a Pack of Fifty-Two Cards, Shuffle the same well, Seven
times. Then present the Pack to the Person whose Queries you
seek to answer, who accordingly shall be called your _Querist_.
Therewith must your _Querist_ chuse from the Pack, without
seeing the cards in it--three several Cards, which are to be called
his _Wish-Cards_; the same being chosen with a Cut between each
Choice. The _Querist_ must not seek to see these same Wish-Cards;
they are to be laid apart on the Table, or left to Repose in
the _Querist's_ care, till all that followeth of the _Square_, the
_Parallelogram_, and the _Reading_ be ended.
Of the Dealing of a _First Seven_ Cards.
Again take in hand your Pack and Shuffle it yet smartly, there
being Forty-nine Cards now left in it. Proceed next earnestly to
Deal them forth on the table in the following Order and Manner,
and without first seeing their Faces. And be solicitous of laying
them down just as they shall come, Faces upward, in a Downward
and Oblique Line; taking them from the Topmost of the Pack until
you have laid forth Seven, Cards. And while you cruise and lay
down the same, and indeed during all that here ensueth of
Directions for your following, avoid foolish Conversation and
sottish Pleasantries with those about you;
