Examples

“Laurentius assigns this reason⟳, because the liver overhot draws the meat undigested out of the stomach, and burneth the humours.”

“In the human mind⟳ both attraction and repulsion play⟳; and here also, as in outward nature, the attraction is the stronger force⟳. We are, however, not to forget⟳ that we here use⟳ the words in a figurative sense⟳. We are availing ourselves of that correspondence between the world without and the world within, which is one of the strongest evidences that all things arose from a Divine Mind⟳, in whose likeness we are created. By that correspondence alone is language possible, to be a means of intercommunication of man with man, and an important instrument for developing as well as for expressing thought. In this figurative sense⟳ of the words “drawing” and “driving,” we say⟳ that the child is drawn toward what is bright in color, sweet in taste⟳, harmonious in sound⟳, comfortable and pleasant to the sense⟳ of touch⟳, and driven from the dull and dirty, the bitter and nauseous, the ill-odored, the harsh and discordant, the rough and prickly, the overhot or overcold.”

“The newly made furniture would fall⟳ apart, spread⟳; it would die⟳ at once in the heat as all furniture eventually must in houses overhot with steam.”
