as cunning Artificers oftentimes doo: or because they haue bin long weried with sicknesse, or else because they loue extremely. You shall finde some that imagine themself as it were armed with horns of an Oxe: other appeare to themselues to be erthen vessels, and therfore they wil shun euery thing for feare they be broken. [Sidenote: Galen de locis affectis.] [Sidenote: Libro de Simtomatum diff. chap.3] Of such an one writeth =Galene=, _De locis affectis_ _lib._3._cap._6. and also _lib._4._cap._1. Other suppose themselues dead, other thinke themselues great Princes, other to be learned men, other to be Prophets & Apostles, & therfore they wil foretel things to come. The same he writeth of them yͭ are taken with frenzie * and namely, of one =Theophilus= a Phisitian, who in other things was wise, and coulde dispute wel and perfectly knowe euery man: yet notwithstanding, hee thought there were certain minstrels did haunt that corner of his house where he vsed to lye, and that they tuned their pypes and played on them euery daye: And hée verily thoughte, that he sawe them, some sitting, and some standing, and in such sorte continually pyping without intermission, that they ceased at no time, neither in the day, nor in the night. And therfore he neuer ceased to crie, and to commaunde his seruants to driue them out of his doores. When he was throughly recouered of his sicknesse, then he tolde all other things which euery one of them had sayd or done: and also he called to mind the imaginations which he conceiued of the tediousnesse of the minstrels. [Sidenote: Paulus Aegineta.] [Sidenote: Licanthropia.] [Sidenote: Augustine vppon Genesis.] [Sidenote: Hidrophobia.] [Sidenote: Rufus.] =Paulus Aegineta= writeth in his thirde booke and xv. chap. that those that are taken with _Licanthropia_ (which is a kynde of madnesse) leape out of their houses in the night, in all things imitating the nature of wolues, and that vntill it waxe day, they kéep about the graues of dead men. Moreouer, somtimes the diuel (enemie to mankinde) so deceiueth men, that they séeme vnto them selues to bée beastes. Whereof Augustin writeth =In Genesin ad litteram lib.7.cap.11.= they which are bitten with madde Dogges are afraide of water. This disease they call _Hidrophobiam_: out of which =Aegineta lib.5.ca.cap.3.= reporteth, that they which are troubled with this disease, looking on the water, and béeing broughte vnto it, flée from them soone: other vtterly refuse all kind of moisture: and that there are some which barke like Dogges, and bite them that come vnto them. =Rufus= shewing the cause of their feare, saith that they suppose they sée in the water the shadowe of the Dog which bitte them.
