Venomous Vex

...and Babylon shall become heaps; an hissing without an inhabitation; the venom spreads into the body of the transgressor and may bring forth unwholesome thoughts, griefs and discontents.

In this, and also in dreams her influence hath no little predominance, for even as from water that is troubled, the mind dispersingly ascendeth from the bottom to the top; so when our blood is chafed, disquieted and vexed, all light imperfect humours of our body ascend aloft into the mind, therein to form impure, imperfect thoughts, as though visited upon by a morphine.

Fall not under the spell of this temptation.
