Nature in Turner’s table

Conjunctio and Albus are both Figures of Mercury, and are both good; but the first the more Fortunate
Of Geomancy, scan p. 4 — in the Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy, Robert Turner's English, London 1655

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