That spirits have desire, and induce their desire on people, I have observed clearly and frequently [cf. 597, 741], so that they desire things which are entirely unnecessary to them, such as articles of human clothing. Indeed, they burn with an uncontrollable passion for them, even while they know that such things are not for them, but for the person [they are with], as for myself for example. I spoke about this matter with a spirit, and he knew and confirmed the fact, but did not rest until I had bought a certain sort of clothing.
