- "sincerity. His advance will be accompanied with good fortune. "

- "2. The second line, divided, shows one who reaps without having "
- "ploughed (that he might reap), and gathers the produce of his third "
- "year's field without having cultivated them the first year for that "
- "end. To such a one there will be advantage in whatever direction "
- "he may move. "

- "3. The third line, divided, shows calamity happening to one who is "
- "free from insincerity;-as in the case of an ox that has been tied up. "
- "A passer by finds it (and carries it off), while the people in the "
- "neighborhood have the calamity (of being accused and apprehended). "

- "subject can remain firm and correct, there will be no error. "
- " "
- "5. The fifth line, undivided, shows one who is free from insincerity, "
- "and yet has fallen ill. Let him not use medicine, and he will have "
- "occasion for joy (in his recovery). "
- " "
- "6. The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject free from "
- "insincerity, yet sure to fall into error, if he takes action. (His "
- "action) will not be advantageous in any way. "
