con los días, meses y años, al cual pertenece entender bien los caracteres deste arte. Y el tal, si es hábil nigromántico, cognosce y entiende muy bien los caracteres en que nace cada uno, y tiene en la memoria lo que por los caracteres se representa, y por ellos da a entender lo venidero. Y si es inhábil nigromántico es enganador, mentiroso, amigo de hechicerías conque engaña a los hombres.\nEl hombre que tiene pacto con el Demonio se transfigura en diversos animales, y por odio desea muerte a los otros, usando hechicerías y muchos maleficios contra ellos, por lo cual él viene a mucha pobreza, y tanta que aun no alcanza tras qué parar, ni un pan que comer en su casa; al fin, que en él se junta toda la pobreza y miseria, que anda siempre lacerado y mal aventurado.
