For however in matter of sensation, it [my soul] sees by the FANTASY eyes, and hears by the eares, and imagines by those fantasms that are represented unto it; yet when it comes to the higher works of intellectual elevations, how doth it leave the body below it.

Howeuer God's hand dealeth heere in this world in punishing his enemies, or howsoeuer the image of things not seene but fantasied, offer themselues to the secret cogitation of man, his sences being asleepe, by the operation or permission of God, working after some spirituall influence in our imaginations: certaine it is, that no dead man materiallie can euer rise againe or appeare, before the judgement daie.

And if that any drop of slombring rest

When feble nature felt herselfe opprest,

Streightway with dreames, and with fantastike sight
Of dreadfull things, the same was put to flight.
Spenser. Faerie Queene, book iii. can. 2.

Yea, through the indiscretions and inconsiderateness of some preachers, the fantastry and vain-babble of others, and the general disposition of the people to admire what makes a great show, and pretends to more than ordinary spirituality; things are in many places come to that pass, that those who teach Christian vertue and Religion, in plainness and simplicity without senseless phrases, and fantastick affectations, shall be reckon'd for dry moralists, and such as understand nothing of the life and power of godliness.

Glanvil. Discourses. Sermon 1.

Neither doo I anie thinge at all esteeme the fantastical dreames of them, whereby they, extenuating original sin, doe call it onlie the paine of sin, and imperfections, plainly against the manifest Scriptures, which call it sin and teach the same to be cured by grace, which is the medicine of true and fained sinne.

Nor is this corruption happened to the Greek language, as it useth to happen to others, either by the law of the conqueror, or inundation of strangers; but it is insensibly crept in by their own supine negligence and fantastickness. Howell. Letter 57. book ii. He is neither too phantastically melancholy, too slowly phlegmatick, too highly sanguine, or too rashly cholerick. Ben Jonson. Cynthia's Revells, act ii, sc. 3.

You must know he has got his estate by the China trade in the East Indies, and at that time grew so fantastically fond of the manners, language, habit, and every thing that relates to those people, that he prefers 'em not only before those of his own country, but all the world besides. Rowe. The Biter, act i.

He hath indeed in this last book of his, to my great amazement, quitted that glorious title. Not that I dare assume to myself to have put him out of conceit with it, by having convinced him of the fantasticalness of it.

Warton. Odes. On the Approach of Summer, ode 11. Though a false philosophy was permitted for a season to raise up her vain fantastic front, and to trample down the Christian establishments and institutions, yet, on a sudden, God said, "Let there be light, and there was light."

Chaucer. The Man of Lawes Tale, v. 5457. FAP. Mr. Douce says, that fap certainly means drunk, as appears from the Glossaries; and Mr. Nares declares, that he has met with it in no Glossary: and in this he is not singular. Goose-berries are in some counties called feabes or feaberries, and in Suffolk, fapes; whence Mr. Moore suggests that we may be helped to the meaning of the word. Fap, sc. intoxicated with goose or fea-berry wine, and thus (generally) drunk. Fea-berry, Skinner thinks, may be so called from fean, gefean, gaudere, to gladden; because these berries are pleasing both to the sight and palate.
