Bacon very frequently signed with some form of cypher the first page
of his secret books. Let us, then, look at the first page of the
Great Folio of 1623, on which is the commencement of the play of "The
Tempest." In the first column of that first page we shall read=
``is perfect Gallowes: stand fast good Fate to his han
``ging, make the rope of his destiny our cable, for our
``owne doth little advantage: If he be not borne to bee
``hang'd, our case is miserable.=
Here, reading upwards from hang'd, we read hang'd, H. O. G., the "h" of
hang'd being twice used. And just as "_Pompey"_ the commencement of Pig,
is upon the 43rd line of page 346 (the invisible page 53), so here on
page 1 the commencing word "hang'd" is also upon=
```The 43rd Line (Example 2.)=
counting all the lines without exception, including as before the
head-line titles. Observe, that it is only made possible for us to
read "hang'd hog," because by the printer's "error" hanging is divided
improperly as han-ging instead of hang-ing. This apparent misprint is a
most careful arrangement made by the great author himself.
I must once again repeat that there are no misprints or errors in
the First Folio, 1623, because the great author was alive, and most
carefully arranged every column in every page, and every word in every
column, so that we should find every word exactly where we do find such
particular word. Hang'd hog is, therefore, clearly the signature of
the great author upon the first page of the Folio, just as 993 is his
signature upon the last page of the Folio. But, as I have already said,
in order to obtain a full, certain and complete revelation we must
discover a third example. This we shall find in the second column of
```The First Page 43. (Example 3.)=
wherein is the first scene of the second act of "The Merry Wives of
Windsor," where we read as follows:--
_Mis. Page_. What's the matter, woman?
_Mi. Ford_. O woman: if it were not for one trifling respect, I could
come to such honour.
_Mi. Page_. Hang the trifle (woman) take the honour.
Here, reading the initial letters of each line upwards from "Hang," we
get quite clearly S. O. W., and we perceive that "Hang sow" is just as
much Bacon as is Hang hog. Thus, we get a triplet of No. 43, as we had
a triplet of page 53, but we should also realise that we get a third
triplet, because we find=
```Hang HOG (Example 1.)=
on page one in the Comedies, the first portion of the plays, and we
find=
```Hang SOW (Example 2.)=
which is practically the same thing as Hang hog, upon page 43 in the
Comedies, the first portion of the plays, and we find that=
```Hang-hog is latten for Bacon (Example 3.)=
is on page 53 in the Comedies, the first portion of the plays, and
"Hang-hog is Bacon," gives the Shibboleth, and affords the explanation
of the two previous examples. Thus we have a revelation of Bacon's
authorship in "three times three" forms, and the revelation is,
therefore, "absolutely perfect."=
