CHAP. XXV. Of the Antipathy of some Human Creatures, to some Forrein Objects.

AS I have often said, There is often both Sympa∣thy and Antipathy between the Parts of some particular Human and Forrein Objects; in so much, that some will occasion such a general Disturbance, as will cause a general Alteration, viz. cause a Man to swound, or at least, to be very faint, or sick: as for example, Some will Swound at some sorts of Sounds, some sorts of Scents, some sorts of Tast, some sorts of Touches, and some sorts of Sights. Again, on the other side, some Human Creatures will so sympa∣thize with some sorts of Forrein Objects, as some will Long for that, another will Swound to have.
