1011. The spirits of the spleen are those who commingle profane with holy things, and separate them. The spirits of the liver act in like manner as to moral things, that is, those which are essentially honorable and dishonorable. The spirits of the pancreas do the same as to those things which are becoming, thus as to the formal things of what is honorable. 1748, Feb. 25. Whether the pancreas does the same as to forensic and civil matters, abstractedly from what is becoming, I do not as yet know.
