What divination is; the passage Proverbs 16:10 on judicial divination; examples from Solomon, Daniel, Ariopharnes, Alfonso I of Naples, Tiberius, King Theodoric, Charlemagne, Frederick III, and Suleiman the Turk.
What conjectation is, and in what way these words are to be taken hereafter. The miracle of St. Beatrice of Este after her burial.
