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.

that_o this_o sympathetical_a power_n proceed_v from_o the_o star_n and_o sun_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o book_n where_o we_o have_v show_v that_o the_o matter_n do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o
