A TREATISE 4 l? 



tafie accompanied with other circumstances , then of play or 

 of warmth : and therefore hunger ( which calleth onely 

 the fpecies of meate out of the memory into the fantafy ) 

 would never bring the Deere thither, for remedy of that 

 paflion. 



And that which often happeneth to thole men', In whom 

 the fantafie onely worketh, is no' much unliJc-e to this : among 

 whom I have feene fome frenticke perinns, that if they be per- 

 fwaded they are tyed, and cannot ftirre from the p 'ace where 

 they are; they will lye ft ill, and make great complaints for 

 their imprifbnmeht -, and not goe a fteepe, to reach any meate 

 or drinke, that flionld lye in fightneerethetn, although they 

 were never fb much preffed with hunger or with thirft. The 

 realbn is evident, for the apprehenfion of being tyed, is Co ftrong 

 in their fantafie, that their fantafie can fend no Spirits into other 

 parts of their body, whereby to cauie motion. 



And thus the deere was beholding to the tygars fantafie, not 

 to his difcourte of morall honefty, for his life. The like of this 

 tygar and decre, is to be feene every day in the tower of Lon- 

 don ; where a little dog^e, that was bred with a lyon from his 

 birth, is fo familiar and bold with them, that they not onely 

 fleep together, but fbmetimes .the dog will be angry with him, 

 and will bite him ; which the lyon never refTenteth from him, 

 though any other dogge that is put to him, he prefently teareth 

 in pieces. 



And thus weplainely fee, how it commeth about, that beafts 

 may have ftrangeaverfions from things, which are of annoying 

 or deftruclive nature to them, even at the firft fight of them : 

 andagaine, may have great likings of other things, in a manner 

 contrary to their nature, without needing to allow them reafon, 

 whereby to difcourfe and judge what is hurtfull to them or to 

 inftruft the tyger we have fpoken of, or Androdus his lyon, the 

 duties of friendship and of gratitude. 



The longing markes which are o ftentimes feen in children, of longing 

 and doe remaine with them all their life, feeme to bee an oft- mar kes feen in 

 fpring of the fame root or caufe : but in truth, they proceed children, 

 from another, although of kinne to this : for the operation of 

 the feed ispaffed, whenthele longing markej arc imprinted;
