Sect. 2.
Error it had before, it was not true to say, that all natural dreams come from the agitation of the inward parts; for as the greatest Philosopher that was meer man, Solo∣mon, expresseth it, Eccles. 5.3. A Dream cometh through the multitude of businesse, not onely when the in∣ward parts of a man are unquiet and violent, but even then when they are in the best Composure; if a Man have his Fancy disturbed with earnestnesse of thoughts about any businesse in the day, in the Night, when he takes his rest, and both the Outward and Inward Senses are lockt up by Sleep, his Fancy, being op∣p••est with the Negotiations of the day, will busie its self about them in the Night, as is most apparent; so that I remember, that the first Latine verses, which I made, were made in my sleep, my thoughts, having run upon nothing else in the day, busied themselves about them in the night; and you shall observe, that a dog, used to hunting, barks in his sleep, with the like, earnestness and useth actions of that nature; so that all natural dreams spring not from the inward parts.
Notes
Solomons o∣pinion of dreams diffe∣rent from Mr. Hobbes's.
