Original source (English)

To dream to sail well, is good for all, but to be in a tempest upon the River or Sea, is ill, and signifyeth heavinesse and danger. To suffer shipwracke, the ship being overwhelmed or broken, is most dangerous to all, except those which are detained by force, for to them it signifyeth releasing and liberty. It is alwayes best to saile in a great ship which hath charge. Also, it is better to saile by sea, then by land. To have a minde to saile and not to be able, is hinderance of affayres: to see from the land, ships on the sea sailing at their ease, is good for all: and signifieth to travail, or to return from travail, or Messengers and newes from sea. Ships going fro [illegible passage] [illegible passage] Haven to sea, signifye goods and slow a [illegible passage] yres, but arriving to the Haven, the contrary: for the artificiall haven signifyeth alwayes our friends and benefactors: the Rocks those whom we love by constraint: the anchors surety, but hinderance of voyages: the ropes which keep the ship at land, are debts and impediments: the mast signifieth the master of the house, or Galley: to see any part of the ship on fire and burn, signifyes danger, lest she break on that side, or danger to him which by that side of the ship is meant.
