A43447 The art of curing sympathetically, or magnetically, proved to be most true by its theory and practice exemplified by several cures performed that way: with a discourse concerning the cure of madness, and an appendix to prove the reality of sympathy : also an account of some cures perform'd by it in London / written originally in Latin by H.M. Herwig ...; Ars curandi sympathetice sive magnetice. English Herwig, H. M. (Henning Michael). 1700 (1700) Wing H1604; ESTC R21531 59,613 172

can_v be_v no_o disparity_n beside_o they_o say_v they_o be_v endue_v with_o magnitude_n figure_n gravity_n etc._n etc._n and_o that_o one_o be_v great_a and_o heavy_a than_o another_o and_o that_o

of_o wild_a beast_n will_v be_v of_o a_o savage_a temper_n the_o bite_n of_o a_o asp_n beside_o other_o bad_a symptom_n will_v cause_v the_o a●sticulations_n of_o that_o creature_n as_o frequent_v

these_o thing_n be_v lay_v down_o i_o say_v first_o when_o the_o sensitive_a soul_n of_o man_n for_o this_o venom_n do_v not_o affect_v the_o immortal_a and_o rational_a soul_n at_o least_o not_o

and_o their_o form_n shall_v remain_v entire_a and_o unchanged_a there_o may_v innumerable_a example_n be_v produce_v for_o the_o distinction_n of_o ferment_n therefore_o ferment_n make_v the_o form_n

to_o attract_v well_o but_o the_o magnet_n and_o those_o thing_n that_o act_n by_o love_n or_o hatred_n do_v not_o electrical_a body_n also_o will_v not_o attract_v if_o any_o body_n be_v interpose_v

that_o want_v to_o be_v excite_v from_o death_n in_o regard_n it_o be_v sleepy_a by_o a_o exalt_a imagination_n a_o vehement_a desire_n or_o some_o such_o like_a art_n as_o in_o the_o sympathetical_a

of_o the_o wound_n from_o whence_o the_o blood_n proceed_v and_o that_o this_o may_v be_v perform_v at_o a_o distance_n they_o say_v that_o there_o do_v lie_v conceal_v in_o the_o universe_n a_o certain_a spirit_n which_o they_o call_v the_o great_a magnale_fw-la which_o be_v the_o procurer_n confederate_a and_o assistant_n to_o the_o action_n of_o sympathy_n and_o antipathy_n and_o by_o

different_a from_o form_n which_o they_o call_v their_o great_a magnale_fw-la and_o moreover_o it_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o their_o principle_n for_o they_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v a_o soul_n of_o the_o world_n or_o a_o universal_a form_n in_o regard_n they_o say_v that_o all_o specifical_a distinction_n do_v immediate_o proceed_v from_o form_n also_o they_o assert_v that_o form_n be_v
