ANNOTATIONS.

HOw wonderful the Strength of Imagination is, we have experi∣ence in many Persons, for that by the Motions of the Mind it frequently works Miracles. And thus in these two Gentlewomen through a continual and constant Cogitation caused by the Preceding Fear, that Idea of the Small Pox so strongly Imprinted in their Minds, and thence in the Spirits and Humours, begat therein a disposition and Aptitude to receive the Small Pox. I remember the same Year, I went to Visit a Noble German, who Dream•…•… that he was drawn against his Will to visit one that was Sick of the Small Pox, and was very much Disfigur'd; which Dream made such an Impression in his Mind, that he could by no means drive it out of his thoughts. He lived free for three Weeks, but then falling into a Fever was pepper'd with the Small Pox.
