Of the small of the Leg, the Feet, and the Heel. · Book 1, encoded section 37 · Text transcription
Original source (English)
THe small of the Leg, the Féet, and the Héels, have as it were the same signification as the Knées. To have many Feet is good for Merchants and Masters of Ships, for they shall command many men: and it signifies rest to the Master himselfe: this dream is good for a poore man, to the rich it is sicknesse. Many men by this dream have lost their sight, and Malefactors having it, have béene imprisoned: to put their Feet in the fire is ill too, and signifyeth losse of goods, children, and servants: to such as undertake a wager of running it is good, for they shall run swiftly, as if they had fire on their feet.
