Of the sudden appearing of the Fair _Cross_.
Observe that each side of your Figure thereby has Four Cards, and
its midmost Rows, horizontal and perpendicular contain, like the
first Row laid, Seven cards apiece; and offer thereby a Fair
_Cross_, the Goodliest Sign.
The first Figure needed, the _Square_, is now nearing Shape; its
Rows, diagonal or horizontal or perpendicular, equalizing. Shuffle,
and deal from the Bottom of the Pack, a Rightward Border of
_Three_ Cards, upward laid. (Fig. 8.) You have now four rows of
sevens, in your figure: a _Cross_, withal still to be found in its
middle--reckoned up and down and right and left.
You must now Shuffle--so well as your lessened cards will allow,
yet with but one Shuffle--and deal, from your Pack's Top, a
downward Left-Hand Border of _Three_ Cards. (Fig.9.) Note that
you now have in your Figure _three Rows of Sevens_; which you
