In so far as the delusion has for its cause authority-
-begotten prejudice, the mind deluded has its source of delusion
in another mind, that other mind was itself at the time of its operation
without itself. The source of the delusion is exterior with reference
clear from the delusion, or more or less in a greater or less degree
to the mind deluded exterior.
under its influence influenced by it: if under its influence, the delusion which
it has been the means of spreading must have been the result
either of the correspondent original or indigenous weakness in the past of the mind in
question, or of an delusion produced as above in some other mind, as
above, whether by sinis original weakness or by authority begotten
prejudice.
Thus in every case in which sinister interest operates with success effect we are led to look out for some
corresponding cause for some cause other than itself which
with itself concurrs in the production of the effect: and this
other and co-operating cause must be immediately or intermediately
be a correspondent original, [inborn] or indigenous
weakness.
