105. Spirits and genii induce cupidities with persuasion, and this so diligently that the man knows no otherwise than that it is from himself.* Sometimes, for the sake of seducing him, they induce a persuasion other than that in which they themselves are. (Cupiditas, Persuasio.) * Under Pertuasio, the reading is: "Spirits and genii induce cupidities with persuasion, and this so diligently, that I hardly knew otherwise than that it was from myself."
