Seven spirits are given to man to enable work: life, sight, hearing, smell, speech, taste, procreation. An eighth spirit is also given: sleep, which brings the trance of nature and the image of death.

Seven others pervert the seven good: fornication, gluttony, fighting, chicanery, pride, jealousy, injustice. The spirit of sleep (aka error and fantasy) works together with the seven lying spirits.
