some_o people_n therein_o that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o such_o as_o walk_v in_o their_o sleep_n and_o of_o such_o as_o be_v trouble_v with_o that_o which_o be_v common_o call_v the_o incubus_n or_o nightmare_n as_o touch_v of_o the_o first_o that_o some_o people_n there_o be_v who_o while_o they_o be_v fast_o asleep_a leap_v our_o of_o their_o bed_n unlock_v door_n go_v into_o the_o street_n and_o sometime_o on_o top_n of_o house_n or_o other_o dangerous_a place_n where_o they_o will_v not_o go_v wake_v and_o if_o not_o interrupe_v will_v again_o return_v to_o their_o bed_n the_o matter_n of_o fact_n i_o say_v be_v so_o notorious_a that_o i_o need_v not_o spend_v time_n to_o prove_v it_o by_o instance_n since_o i_o think_v there_o be_v few_o but_o know_v or_o have_v be_v most_o credible_o inform_v thereof_o among_o some_o of_o their_o acquaintance_n but_o the_o cause_n or_o reason_n of_o all_o this_o be_v more_o occult_a which_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o discover_v as_o it_o occur_v to_o my_o present_a thought_n it_o be_v observable_a those_o that_o have_v these_o vagary_n be_v general_o and_o i_o think_v i_o may_v say_v always_o young_a people_n in_o the_o flower_n of_o their_o year_n and_o strength_n of_o sanguine_a complexion_n active_a sprightly_a and_o full_a of_o blood_n i_o be_o therefore_o of_o opinion_n that_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o that_o abundance_n of_o blood_n swell_v and_o as_o it_o be_v froth_v out_o boil_v and_o active_a spirit_n which_o ascend_v to_o the_o brain_n stir_v up_o and_o stimulate_v its_o faculty_n whereby_o it_o perform_v its_o action_n to_o these_o strange_a motion_n and_o effect_n so_o that_o the_o body_n by_o the_o impulse_n of_o the_o animal_n spirit_n which_o contain_v in_o the_o brain_n the_o strength_n of_o the_o nerve_n and_o muscle_n that_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o motion_n be_v carry_v forth_o and_o even_o in_o sleep_n excite_v to_o those_o action_n for_o person_n of_o this_o condition_n be_v of_o a_o thin_a and_o curious_a contexture_n small_a bulk_n but_o of_o great_a agility_n and_o a_o servant_n mind_n whence_o if_o they_o can_v but_o take_v hold_n of_o any_o thing_n with_o their_o finger_n and_o toe_n be_v then_o void_a of_o all_o fear_n because_o insensible_a of_o any_o danger_n they_o sustain_v themselves_o thereupon_o and_o accomplish_v such_o thing_n as_o wake_v they_o will_v dread_v to_o attempt_v but_o if_o in_o such_o body_n the_o humour_n shall_v be_v ferment_v to_o a_o lesser_a degree_n and_o a_o small_a ardour_n and_o agitation_n of_o the_o spirit_n than_o they_o only_o talk_v cry_v out_o move_z and_o fling_v themselves_o about_o as_o if_o they_o will_v jump_v out_o but_o yet_o still_o contain_v themselves_o in_o their_o bed_n because_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o strong_a and_o violent_a enough_o to_o raise_v the_o body_n and_o the_o proper_a cure_n of_o this_o i_o conceive_v will_v be_v to_o use_v a_o spare_a diet_n and_o perhaps_o in_o some_o case_n blood-letting_a and_o especial_o to_o endeavour_v to_o keep_v their_o mind_n in_o a_o cool_a temper_n without_o inflame_v it_o with_o passion_n as_o for_o the_o other_o sort_n viz._n those_o that_o in_o their_o fleep_n be_v trouble_v with_o the_o incubus_n or_o nightmare_n they_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o a_o temper_n contrary_a to_o the_o former_a melancholy_a of_o few_o gross_a spirit_n and_o abound_v with_o phlegm_n and_o in_o child_n and_o young_a people_n through_o fear_n and_o sleep_a supine_n and_o lie_v on_o their_o back_n and_o though_o the_o vulgar_a when_o they_o be_v thus_o affect_v conceit_n it_o some_o external_a thing_n come_v and_o lie_v upon_o they_o which_o they_o fancy_v to_o be_v some_o ghost_n
