3139. I spoke with him concerning the nature of that life, to wit, that when they are in battles and dangers, they must not fear death, but outside of battles to have such life [springing] from persuasion that they alone are men, and worthy of living; this is mad. In like manner they are in madness in whom a false persuasion is induced like beasts, when they are so bent back [retorquentur] that they cannot be drawn back [reduci] any farther.
