Nature in Turner’s table

Puella, and Amissio are of Venus; the first fortunate, the other (as it were) retrograde, or combust
Of Geomancy, scan p. 4 — in the Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy, Robert Turner's English, London 1655

In plain English The printing gives Amissio its nature in a sentence it shares with Puella, and distinguishes the two only as “the first” and “the second”. Amissio is the second.
