304 NOTES. 



furores. [6] See Paracelsus, De Vermibus, c. x. (p. 243, ed. 1603): 

 Quanquam admitto imaginationem et fidem esse tarn potetites, ut per eas nos 

 ipsos reddere sanos aut cegros valeamus : imo quod mains est, possumus in 

 ceternum servari, vel perdi, sccundum usum in quern assumt&fuerint. See 

 also Crollii Basilica Chymica, Prsef. Admon. pp. 70-77 (ed. 1643). [9] 

 miracle-working faith : Comp. Matt. xvii. 20. [10] the secret passages 

 of things, &c. : Lat. occultas rerum energies et impressiones, sensuum irra- 

 diationes, contagionum de cor pore in corpus transmissions. [16] now 

 almost made civil: Lat./ac&e quasi popular es. [26] The reference to the 

 Roman church is omitted in the Latin. [32] opposing to : i. e. in oppo 

 sition to, repugnant to. [33] Gen. iii. 19. 



P. 147. [3-6] For this sentence are substituted in the Latin two desi 

 derata on Voluntary Motion, and on Sense and the Sensible, with a dis 

 cussion of the Form of light. [7] De Augm. v. I. [13-16] Lat. Nam 

 sensus idola omnigena phantasies tradit, de quibus postea ratio judicat : at 

 ratio vicissim idola electa et probala phantasies transmittit, priusquam fiat 

 executio decreti. [21] Ovid, Met. ii. 14. [25] Arist. Pol. i. 3. 



P. 148. [i] impressions: impression in ed. 1605. The plural seems 

 necessary here from what follows, although other is used as an adjec 

 tive with singular nouns. See Shakespeare, Cymbeline, iii. 4. 144. [3] 

 In the Latin this is expressed more clearly ; that where the minds of men 

 are in any way wrought upon by rhetorical artifices, the imagination is 

 roused till it triumphs over the reason, and as it were does it violence, 

 partly by blinding and partly by exciting it. On the office of rhetoric 

 see p. 177. [6] the former division : i. e. the division which is given at 

 p. 85. [8-15] And if it be . . his true place: Omitted in the Latin. [17] 

 in the doctrine De Anima : See p. 146. [21] the former division: See 

 p. 144. [27] pabulum animi : Cicero, Acad. Qusest. ii. 41. Est enim 

 animortim ingeniorumque naturale quoddam quasi pabulum consideratio con- 

 templatioque naturae. Comp. also De Senect. 14. [30] ad ollas carnium: 

 to the flesh-pots (of Egypt), Num. xi. 4-6. 



P. 149. [3] lumen siccum: See p. 8, 1. 26. [6] Aristotle, De Anima, 

 iii. 8. [ii] to shoot a nearer shoot: Lat. ut melius quis collimet. [18] 

 These divisions are adopted from Peter Ramus ; the artes logicse in 

 cluding what Ramus calls Dialectic and Rhetoric, of which the former 

 is divided into Inventio and Judicium, and the latter into Elocutio and 

 Pronunciation Ellis s note on De Augm. v. i. [22] De Augm. v. 2. 



P. 150. [6] Arist. Prior. Anal. i. 30; Eth. Mag. i. i. 17. [9] See 

 Celsus, De Re Medica, i. i, where he gives it as the opinion of the Em 

 pirics, [i 2] The reference to the Thesetetus is a mistake. It is corrected in 

 the Latin to the more general assertion Plato non semel inmdt. Bacon was 

 perhaps thinking of the Philebus, p. 17. [19] See Plutarch, De Solertia 

 Animalium, c. 20. [21] Virg. yEn. xii. 412. [28] Virg. ^En. viii. 698. 



P. 151. [1-4] Omitted in the De Augm. but retained in substance in
