FIG. 12

For now have you before you the very _Square of Sevens_: being
a magicall Square Figure of Forty-nine Cards, whose Rows
include ever _Seven_ Cards, taken anyways. And that same
mysticall Square now must be made ready for use in Reading your
Querist's Fortune (or Experiences) by making it into a
Parallelogram of smaller compass, through what is called its
formal _Reduction_.

_Of the Square Formally Reduced to The Parallelogram; and of
The Master-Cards & The Sacrifice_.

Having thus built your Square, chuse the extreme right-hand card
in its Uppermost Row. Lay it on such card of the same Suit as lieth
nearest it, in the same Row, if there be such; save on the last Card
on the Left of the Row.

Of the _Master-Card _and_ Master-Column_.

This Leftward Card in each Row is called the Row's _Master-Card_,
and it cannot be covered by any other card, nor be moved.
It must open and alone abide as it is; and the Seven Master-Cards,
counted downward on the Square's left Edge, make what is called
the _Master-Column_.

If you have no other card of the same Suit as your right-ward card
--or none save those of the _Master-Column_--let it lie. But if you
can lay it on another, not a _Master-Card_, of any degree in the
Suit--for observe the degree here matters not--so do. And then
mark if, leftward and toward the _Master-Card_ of the Row, lies
another of the same Suit. If so, take up the two cards you laid
toget
