troubled, such as phrenetic persons, or those who are mad in any

speaking to people verily present, and as well with absent as with
present, whose images they perceive, whether persons living or
dead. But just as they which live, are unconscious that they are

themselves present, or themselves make speeches, but through
troubled senses, these persons are wrought upon by such-like
imaginary visions; just so they also who have departed this life,
to persons thus affected appear as present, while they be absent,
and whether any man sees them in regard of their image,27432743 are
themselves utterly unconscious.
