   • 1650, Jean Baptiste van Helmont, ‎Walter Charleton, A Ternary of Paradoxes, page 77:
     The phansy of Amber delights to allect strawes, chaffe , and other festucous bodies, by an attraction , we confesse , obscure and weake enough, yet sufficiently manifest and strong to attest an Electricity, or attractive signature; for married to the mumie of our bodies, it appears superiour to the hmane Magnet, draws counter to it, and by the interest entitleth is selfe to the dignity of a Zenexton or preservatory Amulet against contagion.
