1357. But when something unforeseen turns up which suddenly strikes or changes the interiors, thus if perchance his "animus" is laid open or his simulation has been made plain, the spirit is then ejected by them at once. He is exposed on various occasions, as when a certain unbecoming representation is presented, he is then suddenly ejected for making it, as if upon funeral biers, and like things. Thus his quality is recognized. 1748, Mar. 14. These things are varied because the spirits who thus expose them are not good.* * This last sentence appears to have been added later.
