 * 1657, The Naturall Plague becomes Firmamental and ſupernaturall, that is to ſay, when the Iliaſter or Eveſtrum of the Sun, provoked by the ſins of men to wrath and puniſhment, infecteth and puniſheth mortall men through the influx of the Stars, by reaſon of their offences, becauſe of the ſingular participarion it hath with the Eveſter of Man, nor is there any medicine ſo potent that can reſiſt aud help againſt it, for by its invenomed malignity and ſiniſter aſpect of the incendiary Stars it infecteth the Mummy and Sulphur of the microcoſm, Man, who hiddenly poſſeſſeth all innate macrocoſmicall poyſons. ― Oswald Croll [tr. Henry Pinnell], The Generation, Dignity, & Excelency of the Microcoſm, or Little World Man (in Philosophy Reformed & Improved in Four Profound Tractates), ch. V: “The Duty of Natures Miniſter, the Phyſitian”, 172–3
 * 1657, We are come now to ſpeak of the EVESTRUM, which according to its eſſence is either mortall or immortall. The Eveſter is a thing like a ſhadow on the wall. The ſhadow riſeth and waxeth greater as the body doth, and continueth with it even unto its laſt matter. The Eveſtrum takes its beginging at the firſt generation of every. Things animate and inanimate, ſenſible and inſenſible, and whatſoever caſteth a ſhadow, all of them have their Eveſter. TRARAMES is the ſhadow of an inviſible eſſence. It ſpringeth up with the reaſon and imagination of intelligent and bruite creatures. To diſcourſe rightly or Philoſophically of the Eveſtrum and Trarames requireth the higheſt wiſdome. ― Paracelsus [tr. Henry Pinnell], The Second Book of Philoſophy, Written to the Athenians (in Philosophy Reformed & Improved in Four Profound Tractates), text xviii, 47
