T Hefe Emifions, (as we faid before,) are handled, and ought to be

reall. Secondly, they Worke Swiftly. Thirdly, theyWorke at Lar?e 
Difiances. Fourthly, in Curious Varieties . Fifthly, they are not EjfeBiue 
of any Thing, Nor leauc noim&behinde thercijBut are Energies meerc-

he aduifed him, to abfcnt himfelfe, (as much as fiee could,) and re- 
mouefarre from him. This South-Sayer was thought to bee fuborned 
by Cleopatra , to make him liue in Aigypt, and other Remote Places from j 
Rome. HoWfoeuer the Conceit of a Predominant or Mafter ing spirit, 
of One Man ouer Another, is Ancient, and Receiued ftill, euen in Vul¬ 
gar Opinion .
