Hippocrates also of these things in a manner writeth the same namely that the mind in the day time, distributeth his powers into the senses & other faculties:1 And in the night it draweth them to the inward parts, & therefore it doth the better know them. Howbeit he maketh mention that there are certain dreams which come by god, whereby calamities are foreshowed to come unto cities, people, and other certain great men, for the expounding of which dreams, some do profess certain arts. Unto which nevertheless he seemeth to give but very small credit. When by dreams it is noted that the humours do offend, he saith that they which are in danger, must be holpen by diet, exorcist, and medicine. And whither the dreams be good or evil, he will have prayers added.

But if the dreams be unlucky, we must pray unto the gods saith he which turn away ill, namely unto the gods of the earth, and to the Heroical men, &c. Wherefore either Hippocrates was superstitious, or else he would seem so. But to me, as touching sincere godliness, that I mislike not: Yea it is very much commended, that if at any time we be vexed with troublesome and terrible dreams, we must pray unto god, that it would please him to turn away those evils, if there be any which hang over our heads.

Vnto which neuerthelesse he semeth to geue but very small credite. When by dreames it is noted that ye humors do offend, he sayth that they which are in daunger, must be holpen by diete, exorcist, and medicine.
