528. That they can tell the thoughts of others from their face, or speak by means of the face - especially those who speak little from childhood on, and do not learn to put on pretenses - is clear from much evidence. For [when they so speak], all thoughts, in their every least distinction, are marked upon the face. The spirits can display this adroitly by creating faces that pass through all the variations of a single affection in a continuous transformation.
