Brief Instruction in Geomancy

I have served this science so that such people may see from what foundation it stems. The ignorant, however, can not only make a good beginning in this science but also see that much lies hidden in nature from which one can draw something good. Therefore, I recommend myself to the honored reader's high affection favor. May the same use this geomantic instruction for the amusement of his spirit and read it with pleasure, for which I remain,

To each according to their rank,

Given in March
The Year 1701.

Most obedient and devoted
Servant,
