Observe that gammon is spelled with a capital "G," and Bacon also is
spelled with a capital "B." Thus we have found Bacon in the second page
53. But I must not forget to inform my readers that this second page 53
is really and evidently of set purpose falsely numbered 53, because page
46 is immediately followed by 49, there being no page numbered 47 or 48
in the Histories, the second part of the Plays.
Having found what appears to be a revelation in each of the first two
pages numbered 53 in the First Folio, we must remember that a Baconian
revelation, in order to be complete, satisfactory, and certain, requires
to be repeated "three" times. The uninitiated inquirer will not be able
to perceive upon the third page 53, on which is found the beginning of
"The Tragedie of Romeo and Juliet," any trace of Bacon, or hog or pig,
or anything suggesting such things. The initiated will know that the
Great "Master-Mason" will supply two visible pillars, but that the third
pillar will be the invisible pillar, the Shibboleth; therefore, the
informed will not expect to find the third key upon the visible page 53,
but upon=
````The Invisible Page 53.=
Most of my readers will not fail to perceive that the invisible page 53
must be the page that is 53, when we count not from the beginning, but
from the end of the book of Tragedies, that is, from the end of the
volume.
The last page in the Folio is 399. This is falsely numbered 993, not
by accident or by a misprint, but (as the great cryptographic book, by
Gustavus Selenus [The man in the Moon], published in 1624, will tell
those who are able to read it) because 993 forms the word "Baconus," a
signature of Bacon. Let me repeat that the last page of the Great Folio
of the plays is page 399, and deducting 53 from 399 we obtain the number
346, which is =
````The Page 53 from the end.=
On this page, 346, in the first column, we find part of "The Tragedie of
Anthony and Cleopatra," and we there read,
_Enobar_. Or if you borrow one another's Love for the instant, you may
when you heare no more words of _Pompey_ returne it againe: you shall
have time to wrangle in, when you have nothing else to do.
_ Anth_. Thou art a Souldier, onely speake no more.
_Enob_. That trueth should be silent, I had almost forgot.
Now here we perceive that "Pompey,"
"in," and "got," by the manner in which the type is arranged in the
column, come directly under each other, and their initial letters being
P. I. G., we quite easily read "pig," which is what we were looking for.
But on this "invisible" page 53, in which the key-word is found, other
very important revelations may also be discovered, because it is the
"Shibboleth" page. If we count the headline title and all the lines that
come to the left-hand edge of the column on this page 346, we find that
"Pompey" which begins the word, "pig" is upon=
