Original source (English)
HOuses burning with a cléer fire without falling or diminishing, is Riches to the Poore; and to the Rich▪ higher Estate and Dignity: But to the Houses which burn, or fall, or consume, are ill to all and signifie death of masters, children, servants, Parents, or Friends. In like sort, trées burning before or within the house. The doore of the house séeming to be on fire is death to the good wife, and danger to him which dreams it. To kindle the Fyre easily in the Oven or Harth, is a signe of Generation: but for it to goe out straight after is hurt.
