1. IF you chaunge hands, it is the losse of the Set, 2. If you renounce, it is the losse of the Set. 3. If you leade when your Mate shoulde, it is the losse of that game and vied cardes. 4. If you lose dealing, it is the losse of fower cardes, but if the loser of the dealing deale not againe, you acquite the fower, and no gaine to either of both parties. 5. If you looke either on the asked carde, or the bottome carde, it is the losse of that game and vied cardes, in whom the fault is found. 6. If you roub (not having the Ace) you lose fower, & al the vied cards although you lay downe the same carde which you tooke up. 7. If you make out the carde when your Mate rubbeth it is the losse of fower, for the roubber must make out the carde himselfe. 8. If you turne up the Ace of Hartes you gaine fower thereby. 9. If you turne up the Ace of Hartes, and thereby make either partie above xxvi. the contrary part must have Livings, but if the con- trary parte bee xxv. by meanes whereof Livings sets them out, then is he who turned up the Ace of Hartes to make for the Set, so that he make not one Game nor the first Tricke, without the consent of both parties. 10 The partie that asketh a carde, may not vie any carde, before the first tricke be played. 11 You may not vie it after your card is led, but the contrary part may. 12 Three cardes crossed, no carde by any meanes given backe. 13 Neither partie may give backe his owne vied card, though none be crossed. 14 You may not aske a carde to set the contrary parte or yourselfe at Livings or out. 15 Provided alwaies, that if the contrary parte bee xxiii. or above, by reason that fower sets the other partie behinde the Livinges, it shal be lawfull for the partie which is behinde to aske a carde, al- though the carde so asked put the other to Livings. 16 Provided also that if you meane to lead a helpe, you may vie it upon your owne asked carde, so as it be done before the helpe be out of your hand, the contrary part may pledge you a card after he seeth your helpe upon the boord, so as it be done before his yes card be played.
