In our cognition of God he is at once knower and known; our being and all being is a being known by him; our self-consciousness is a consciousness of being known by God: cogitor, ergo cogito et sum; my being and thinking are based on my being thought by God. The relation between the known and the knower is threefold.
I assume the notion of applying a mustard plaster outside one's stomach when one has a pain inside one's stomach is based on the same principle. However, one doesn't have to go clear back to medieval times to note the radical differences in the plan of treating human ailments.

She reached up her slim hands, caught his wrists firmly, and, slightly putting him aside, said: "There, Edward?" "I drove out from Warensboro, so as to get here to-night, as I have to return to the city on Tuesday.
Meiggs invited me to go with him to a rich mercantile house on Clay Street, whose partners belonged in Hamburg, and there, in the presence of the principals of the house, he demonstrated, as clearly as a proposition in mathematics, that his business at Mendocino was based on calculations that could not fail.
In actions on theft, robbery, outrage, and fraud, it is not only infamous to be condemned, but also to compound, as indeed is only just; for obligation based on delict differs widely from obligation based on contract.
The most splendid temple in China was built over his grave, and he received a homage little removed from worship. His writings became a sacred rule of faith and practice; schools were based upon them, and scholars devoted themselves to their interpretation. For two thousand years Confucius has reigned supreme, the undisputed teacher of a population of three or four hundred millions.
