APPENDIX. 11.5 having been at first the wonderful art of visionaries, it afterwards became that of impostors. This art pretends to teach the method of predicting all sorts of events that shall happen upon the earth, as well such as relate to public as to private persons; and that by the inspection of the stars and planets. II. Huroscopy, or casting of nativities, which Inay also be considered as a part of astrology, is the art by which they draw a fignre, or celestial scheme, containing 12 houses, wherein they mark' the disposition of the heavens at a certain moment; for example, that at which a man is born, in order to forete111~is fortune, or the incidents of his life. But as there cannot be any . probable or possible relation between the constellations and the human race, all the principles they lay down, .and the prophecies they draw from them, arc chimerical, false, absurd, and a c!'iminal imposition on mankind. Surely it is not less absurd, to pretend to predict future events by the inspection of the ~rmmds of a cup of tea or coffee, or by cards, ~liti many other like matters. III. Chiromancy is the art "!lich teaches to know, by inspecting the hanrl, not only the iuclination of a man, but his future destiny. The impostors who practise this art, pretend that the different parts, or the lines, of the hand have a relation to the internal parts of the body. - The notion connected with the substance sold under the name of tho" Chinese Sensitive Leaf,It is to be considered equally as ridiculous as Chiromancy. By putting this substance into the hand, a person's disposition is supposed to be ascertained. In Scripture we find mention made of several kinds of Divinations. The ancient Britons were greatlY'addictcd to Divination, and excelled so much in the practice of all its arts, that they might have given a lesson to the ancients themselves. Besides those which the Britons practised in common with other nations, they hall one of a very' horrid Datur::. "On great occasions," says an histo Tian, Hthe Britonfi pr'llcthse a "CJ'jT strange and incrcdibl

They take a man who is to be sacrificed, and kill him by one stroke of the sword; mid by observing the posture in which he falls, his dif Ferent convulsions, and the direction in which the blood flows from the body, they form their predictions, according to certain rnles which have been left them by their nnceetor.!."
