4551. CONCERNING THE CRUELTY OF CERTAIN ONES, OPERATED BY MEANS OF FIRE AND TOW, IN PHANTASY. Certain spirits practice that cruelty by means of the phantasy, that they have, as it were, a lighted candle, and with it they burn others who are round about, in whom they endeavour to induce, as it were, bodily sensation. Some set tow on fire; and they burn others with this, by means of phantasies; also inducing sensation.
