3158. then, [I said,] since my spirit acts in [its] body, they imagine they are acting in my body: and now, that it is impossible for another spirit to be able to possess the body of someone else without the other acting as one obsessed. For no spirit suits my body but my own. According to my own spirit all things of the body to the very least harmonize, or interact, so that by interacting they make one. There is a nexus of my spirit with [my] body that can never exist between a different spirit and my body. 1748, 14 Sept.
