columns, or many divisions, you should form with a line, as you see done here below in the Schematic Diagram Schematismo.

Now, the reason why these channels are to be made partly open and partly closed, as well as the cause for dividing the semicircles thus, and why those Branches are established in such a form, and the Mystery of the whole figure—I do not remain silent here about the operations to be produced by Godo and Hugo likely referring to mythical or symbolic authorities in the tradition, just as I said above concerning other figures. Specifically, I refer you to the other part of this work, in which the cause and origin of the Responses are treated very abundantly and subtly concerning these Mysteries.

It now remains to be taught in what form we ought to mark the Branches and the orbit with numbers, but first it is necessary to place in the whole figure the Roots Radices base numbers explored by us earlier in the second operation.

The first Root of any query, therefore, is to be placed before the threshold of the channel passing through the middle of the spherical orbit. The second between the doors of the Branches existing in the same channel. The third which follows should be placed between the quadrant of the doors of the first channel of the spherical orbit. Write the fourth between the open places of the third channel: and thus operate in the rest until the end of your Roots, always skipping one channel after the Root placed by you, for the Reason which is said in the other part.

Here, however, it must be noted that if any root is marked with a Cross $+$, there also inscribe either a $+$ or another sign, for the cause which will be said here below.

Furthermore, those Roots which you will see pass through any cause where the Alphabetical Number is not whole, are not to be placed there, but having rejected the Alphabetical Number as many times as it occurs there, you shall place only the Remainder in the channels, as you see done here below in its proper place.
