(In Four Articles)

We must now consider superstition in observances, under which head

there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Of observances for acquiring knowledge, which are prescribed by

the magic art;

(2) Of observances for causing alterations in certain bodies;

(3) Of observances practiced in fortune-telling;

(4) Of wearing sacred words at the neck.
