1563. About bodily cravings

There are spirits who constitute [that function] which is called craving, and indeed, bodily craving. There are various kinds of craving, not just the appetite for eating, but for many objects, as is known. A kind of craving causes us to desire numerous things, such as baths, the clothes we like to wear, and so on.
