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

be_v true_a that_o a_o lizard_n be_v a_o most_o inoffensive_a creature_n to_o a_o man_n unless_o it_o be_v provoke_v so_o that_o a_o great_a many_o put_v they_o into_o their_o bosom_n without_o any_o

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

it_o shall_v be_v grant_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o spirit_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o procurer_n of_o those_o action_n it_o will_v be_v impossible_a for_o vegetable_n irrational_a animal_n

no_o motion_n be_v ever_o observe_v but_o what_o be_v say_v of_o the_o fancy_n of_o animal_n and_o vegetable_n that_o convert_v our_o fancy_n to_o be_v like_o they_o as_o a_o mad-dog_n the_o

not_o operate_v by_o itself_o either_o on_o friend_n or_o foe_n by_o cause_v so_o many_o different_a compassion_n as_o be_v perform_v sympathetical_o in_o regard_n all_o action_n beside_o those_o that_o be_v proper_a to_o soul_n proceed_v from_o ferment_n i_o shall_v have_v say_v more_o at_o this_o time_n but_o that_o it_o be_v almost_o the_o discourse_n of_o every_o one_o that_o fancy_n of_o

operation_n at_o a_o distance_n say_v first_o that_o all_o body_n send_v forth_o beam_n in_o which_o the_o soul_n act_v by_o its_o own_o presence_n and_o communicate_v a_o power_n of_o act_v to_o they_o and_o that_o these_o ray_n be_v corporeal_a and_o contain_v in_o they_o a_o portion_n of_o vital_a spirit_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n live_v and_o that_o their_o life_n be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o of_o the_o animal_n who_o excrement_n they_o be_v also_o that_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o concatenation_n of_o those_o ray_n at_o every_o distance_n though_o never_o so_o great_a the_o like_a also_o be_v perform_v between_o the_o blood_n and_o any_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n that_o be_v separate_v from_o it_o at_o never_o so_o remote_a a_o distance_n but_o first_o we_o answer_v if_o grant_v these_o effluvium_n from_o blood_n urine_n sweat_n and_o excrement_n if_o they_o be_v corporeal_a it_o be_v impossible_a that_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o concatenation_n at_o any_o distance_n for_o if_o the_o great_a body_n be_v rarify_v even_o to_o invisible_a atom_n it_o will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o supply_v effluvium_n for_o a_o thousand_o league_n and_o if_o it_o be_v allow_v that_o it_o will_v suffice_v in_o regard_n they_o allow_v they_o no_o vehicle_n they_o will_v certain_o miss_v of_o the_o right_a way_n but_o if_o they_o say_v this_o concatenation_n proceed_v from_o a_o soul_n it_o must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a soul_n which_o fill_v the_o whole_a space_n from_o pole_n to_o pole_n but_o admit_v that_o there_o be_v a_o soul_n that_o extend_v itself_o to_o all_o place_n those_o corporeal_a effluvium_n can_v not_o accompany_v it_o for_o the_o reason_n before_o allege_v we_o also_o see_v that_o the_o blood_n and_o excrement_n in_o a_o glass_n or_o box_n be_v not_o diminish_v which_o will_v of_o necessity_n be_v if_o they_o be_v continual_o send_v forth_o corporeal_a effluvium_n to_o so_o great_a a_o distance_n again_o when_o they_o assert_v that_o excrement_n have_v life_n this_o indeed_o be_v true_a but_o what_o naturalist_n will_v be_v so_o impious_a to_o assert_v
