+tors and protellors of their vitioas actions, 
+they could neither think it ajlameful, nor a 
+dangerous thing to obey their fuggejiions , and 
+follow their Examples , By this means the 
+Enemy of Mankind did labour to debfroy the 
+works of God,and to deface the beautiful Image 
+of our Creator , imprinted in our Souls, with all

+their Society, and to their Divine Honours ,

+afterwards redeemed by the Trojans , and for that

+caufe was named Tnanuu , as we fliall fee in the

+After all thefe Misfortunes, Apollo re-affumed

+.noted of ail the Gods, not only by the great

+Living. It is true, that fome differ in their

+
+He invented the Lute, and a Kind of Harp, 
+which he prefented to Apolio. He was alfo the. 
+God of Eloquence, which was of great life to hint 
+in his Embattles and Negotiations. He was alfo 
+the God of Thieves, becaufe he had been a very 
+fubtil Thief himfelf,as may appear by what lie 
+did to Apollo, when he fed the (heep of King 
+Admins, for he ftole from him a great many, 
+
+and was not difcovered by any, but only by the 
+
+Shepheard Battus, who was changed afterwards 
+into a Rock by Mercury , becaufe he revealed 
+him, notwithftanding his promile to the con*

+The Hebrews tell us, that the Generation of

+fuch as werefo profane at this time, had yel¬ 
+low Beards growing on their Faces, in remem-

+blilhed in the Dominions that were under him • 
+for he placed two Golden Calves at the two 
+Extremities of the Ten Tribes, in Ban and 
+Bethel, to prevent the . return of the People tq 
+the worlhip of God in Jerufalem, and to their 
+Allegiance to their lawful Prince. It may feem 
+very ft range, that the Jfraelites, poflefled with 
+a real Opinion of Gods Power and Authority 
+over them, Ihould be fo ealily drawn to com¬ 
+mit fuch an abomination, direCtly contrary to 
+the Law of God, unlefs they had been induced 
+thereunto by their miftakes of fome Example 
+given unto them by Mofes himfelf. We find 
+that when Jeroboam intended to draw them 
+
+
+to Idolatry, he could think of no better expe¬ 
+dient, than to prefent unto them Golden 
+Calves} for they were more inclinable to the 
+adoration of them, than of any other Idol 
+becaufe, as fome imagine, they were wont 
+to fee thefe Images in the Temple of Jerufa- 
+lem , as their Forefathers had been accuftomed 
+to behold them worfhipped in Egypt *, for 
+by thefe Idols the ignorant Egyptians did a- 
+dore Nilas, otherwife called Sir is y and Op* 
+ris , becaufe their Life and Riches did pro¬ 
+ceed from the excellent virtues of the Water of 
+
+
+NJlus. 
+
+The Teraphims , mentioned in Judges 17. 5. 
+were not, as fome have imagined, the Houfe- 
+hold Gods of the Heathens, for in the fame 
+place'a Graven Image and a Molten Image 
+are named, which were the Houlhold Gods 5 
+but I do rather think, that they were fome

+Spirit to anfwer in them the demands of their 
+Worfhippers, and give Oracles. Elias Levita 
+tells us, that they were made in this manner: 
+
+They kill’d a Man, who was a Firft-born, 
+and pull’d off his head with their hands; and 
+when they had embalmed it, they did place it 
+
+npon a Plate of Gold, upon which the Name of 
+
+the unclean Spirit which they invocated for an 
+Anfwer was.firft handfomely engraven; after¬ 
+wards they put it in a place made in a Wall 
+purpofely for it *, they did light round about it 
+Torches and Lamps, and fell down before it 
+to worihip it. The Images that Rachel Hole 
+from her Father Laban are called Teraphims 
+by fome 5 they were the fame which the 
+Greeks named 2 to/x«* only j the former . did 
+return Anfwers to the Petitioners, whereas the 
+latter were the protecting Gods of a Family, 
+worfhipped near the Chimney Corners, ufually 
+
+in the Images of Dogs, who are watchful Crea¬ 
+tures 
+
+The Idol Moloch is the fame with Saturn , 
+unto whom the cruel Heathens did facrifice their 
+Sons and Daughters, caufing them to be burnt Mornaus dt 
+alive in a Brazen Image made purpofely for fuch verjtat. ch. 
+Abominations. The Ammonites, whole God Rel - ca P- 
+this Idol was, did oblige all Parents either to Maimonides 
+offer them in this manner to Moloch , or to & r. Mofes 
+caufe them to pals between two Fires in honour 
+of this God. Sometimes when Men came to modsU ^ 7# 
+years of underftanding, they did offer them-

+The two Gods of Sepharvainiy Adram -

+Names but I rather think them to be other 
+
+
+Gods T who fhared in the fame Titles of Ho¬ 
+nour, and in the fame manner of Worfhip: 
+None of our Interpreters have found the Per- 
+fons unto whom thefe Names were given; 
+but I do conjecture from the Hebrew Signifi¬ 
+cation of the Nam z A dr ammelech, and with 
+From hence a fmail alteration “"pD V 1 K t^Ador-nAfelech , 
+the Greek ^ a ftrong and glorious King, that thereby the 
+
+Man. Inhabitants of Sepharvaim did either mean fome 
+
+brave and generous Prince that had ^Reigned 
+amongft them in much glory, or elfe they did 
+intend the Sun by Adrammdech •, for he isas 
+a Prince in the Firmament, fending forth his 
+Beams of Light into every corner of the World. 
+sogere DJtt, a Anasy or Anam^ is a Chaldean word, never 
+Cbaldes word. us ’d the Scripture to my knowledge, unlefs 
+
+it be Efther 1. 8. It fignifies to force or to com¬ 
+pel, being therefore joyned with Melech , it 
+
+v makes a compelling, or an imperious King.

+
+By this Title fome Devil may be underftood, 
+
+that did imperioufly tyrannize pver them, they 
+
+did therefore endeavour to appeafe his wrath, 
+
+by facrificing their deareft Enjoyments. That Maffbtt de reb. 
+
+which makes me inclinable to this Opinion is, 
+
+that to this very day, the Inhabitants from ft erCo f m & ra ? • 
+
+whence thefe Sepharvaites did come, worfhip 
+
+the Devil in a vifible fhape, and when they 
+
+negledt their Devotion to him, he pitifully 
+
+aftiidts them. The fame is reported of the Ca- 
+
+ribhians , and of the Indians in Florida , and in 
+
+the adjacent Countries. It may alfo with fome 
+kind of probability be imagined from this word 
+D 3 N, which fignifies to compel, that thefe Hea¬ 
+thens did Sacrifice to the Imperious and unre- . 
+fiftible Emp.erour of the World Death ; for it 
+
+is Laid, that his Priefts were cloathed in black, and stlden.de vk 
+therefore named DHQD in Holy Writ. Now SyrU-Synt^ i. 
+it is certain, that this colour was an abomination 
+to all the Superiour Gods, and only us’d in the 
+Sacrifices of the Inferiour, as we may underftand 
+by thefe following Verfes of Apollonius , lib, z.. Ar¬

+
+In this IHand of Albion 
+
+
+he ftood upon an high Pillar

+
+
+were reverenced for the Sun 
+
+
+The Moon was another ancient Idol of old 
+
+England y it was reprefented as a beautiful Maid, 
+
+having her head covered, and two Ears Handing 
+out. 
+
+
+Tuifcoy a Grand-child of Noah , was adored 
+after his deceafe by all his Pofterity in Germany . 
+The Inhabitants of that Countrey are yet called 
+Tuitjh , or Duytjhmen , from this their Grand¬ 
+father, anda Day of our Week is named Tuefday , 
+
+becaufe it was appointed for the adoration of this 
+Northern Idol. 
+
+Woden was a warlike Prince of the Saxons , 
+happy in all encounters of War:, After his death 
+they worfhipped him for the God of War:, there¬ 
+fore he was reprefented as a Mighty Man in per¬ 
+fect Armor, holding in one hand his Sword lifted 
+up, and his Buckler in the other. From him our 
+Wednefday borrows the name. 
+
+Theramis , or Thor, , was a famous Idol of the 
+Northern People, adored for Jupiter *, for he 
+was placed upon a high Throne, with a Crown 
+of Gold on his head, encompalfed about with 
+many Stars, and feven Stars reprefenting the 
+
+
+
+
+Ch. 16. toe ipmijen uoas. 
+
+4 
+
+feven Placets in his left hand, and a Scepter 
+in the right. By this we may underftand who 
+
+he was, that was thus named y for this de¬ 
+fection agrees very well with the chief of the 
+Gods, who was ftyled Jupiter Olympias , and 
+
+To nans. 
+
+Friga was the Goddefs unto whom the Hea¬ 
+thens did make their addrelfes, to obtain plenty 
+of earthly blelfings and profperity in their afe 
+fairs:, therefore file may be taken for the Goddefs 
+of Juftice: For there is nothing that caufesa 
+Land to profper more, than Juftice and Equity. 
+For that reafon an Author tells us, that fhe did ' 
+ufually Hand on the right hand of the great God 
+Theramisy and Woden the God of War on the left. 
+She was pictured with a Sword in one hand, and 
+a Bow in the other,and hath left her Name to our 
+
+Friday. 
+
+Seater was an ill-favour’d Idol, painted like an 
+old envious Knave, with a thin face, a long Beard, 
+a Wheel, and a Basket of Flowers in his hand,and 
+girded about with a long Girdle y from him our 
+
+Saturday hath borrowed its name. 
+
+Ermenfewel was a favourable Idol to the Poor, 
+reprefented as a Great Man amongft. heaps of 
+Flowers, upon'his head he fupported a Cock, in 
+his Breaft a Bear, and in his right hand he held a . 
+difplayed Banner. 
+
+Flint was another Idol of our Forefathers, fo 
+named, becaufe he ufually ftood amongft or upon 
+Flints. ~ ' 
+
+Fridegafiy Sive y PronOy Helmfteedy were alfo the 
+
+Idols Of old Britain, and of the Germans. The 
+Romans did call them by Names proper to their 
+
+own Idols *, but it is the Opinion of many, that 
+
+there was a great difference between the Gods 
+
+;. ~~. of 
+
+
+
+C&e of Book f 
+
+of Rome, and of the Inhabitants of this Ifland : 
+But they were as bloody here as in other Nations; 
+for it was a common pra&ice for a Father to cut 
+the throat of his Son, upon the Altars of our Eng- 
+
+lift Gods, as a Poet inform us: 
+
+Et qaibns immitis pidc at iir [anguine diro 
+Theutatcs, horrenfq^feris Altaribus Hefus. 
+
+
+By Theutates the Romans did underftand Mer¬ 
+cury , and by Hcfm, Mars. I imagin that they 
+
+may have fome reafon for their Opinions,becaufe 
+
+the Theutates of the Gauls , and of the Germans \ 
+was in the fame, place, efteem,and order, as Mer¬ 
+cury was in the Roman Territories : And fo the 
+Hefus of our Britains , was that warlike and bloo¬ 
+dy Devil, who did delight fo much in the efFufi- 
+on of blood, and who had particular infpedion 
+over theplaces which were thus adored. 
+
+Amongft the Gauls , befides thefe Gods, there 
+were many others: Thefe are the Chief :, Om- 
+cana , whom Bochartm thinks to be Onga 'oi 
+Onca of the Phoenicians, adored for Minerva : 
+
+Cafar repfefents the Pi&ure of their Hercules, 
+
+who had many Chains proceeding out of his 
+Mouth, and fattened at the Ears of a multitude

+Oracles, that the Child that ihould be

+was prefent to fee apaftime, or a delightful Com¬ 
+bat, Per feus gave him accidentally a blow that 
+killed him. 
+
+When, this Ter feus came to be of age, he was 
+mightily honoured, and favoured of ail the Gods. 
+Minerva bellowed upon him her Looking-glafs 
+for a Buckler: Mercury gave him the Wings 
+from his feet and his Ihoulders, with his Cymeter, 
+By which he performed notable Exploits , for 
+fome fay, that he fubdued all that Countrey, that 
+is named Per fa from him. He delivered the 
+wretched Andromeda from the cruelty of the 
+
+
+Nereids

+
+
+
+who had bound her to

+Rock to be

+The horrid Impiety of this Prince was the caufe 
+of them *, for as he was one of the Sons of Ju¬ 
+piter , the Gods at a certain time palling over the 
+World, did him the honour to lodge with him 
+in his Palace. Being therefore obliged to treat 
+them at Supper, he caufed the Members of hist 
+Son Pelops to be cut in pieces, and to be pre¬ 
+pared for them to eat, that he might try whether 
+they would perceive it, and whether they were 
+
+really Gods. 
+
+Ceres was deceived at firft, for being extreme 
+hungry Ihe eat up one of the Ihoulders, but 
+the reft of the company did abominate this cruel 
+Feaft ‘j therefore in companion to the young 1 
+Prince, they reftored him to life again. For 
+
+
+Feaft 'y therefore in companion to the young 
+Prince, they reftored him to life again. For 
+Mercury went down into Hell to fetch from 
+thence his Soul, and all his Members were re¬ 
+ftored to him, and eftablilhed in their right 
+place, only in lieu of his fhoulder which had 
+
+been eaten, thev eave him one of Ivorv. 
+

+eaten 
+
+
+they 
+
+
+gave him one of Ivory, 
+
+
+which had the virtue of healing ail manner of 
+Difeafes. 
+
+But Tantalus was punifh’d for his cruelty •, be¬ 
+ing condemned to Hell, to be there tortured

+But the Heathens did com'

+
+
+Statues as Gods, and

+m 
+

+
+For we mull: take notice, that Idols pro- 
+
+nly are not Images of real things, but of falfe 
+
+winines, or offuch as were unjuftly honoured 
+o-ods .• Therefore the Apoftle informs us,that

+
+did acknowledge thefolfy of fuch pradices. This 
+is confirmed unto us in many places of Holy 
+
+
+Scripture, as in the 14 of Wifdom , and the 
+Ffalms , where David upbraids the hlolators, be¬ 
+caufe they did worfhip the Works of their own 
+Hands, God that had Eyes, and all other Mem¬ 
+bers of humane Bodies, but neither Life nor 
+Adion in them. All the Prophets do agree to this, 
+and it was in this manner that the Children of// 1 
+m/did adore the Golden Calf in the Wildernefs, 
+and that the King of 'Babylon, with all the Gran¬ 
+dees of his Court, did call upon Daniel to worfhip 
+the Idol of King Belus. And for this caufe St JW, 
+in his Epiftles, labours to make his new Difciples 
+underftand the extraordinary favour,which Chrift 
+
+
+* 
+
+heir own 
+
+
+had vouchfafed unto them 
+
+
+have withdrawn 
+
+
+them from the fervice of mute and infenfibleldols. 
+TheToly Fathers of the Church did often upbraid 
+the Heathens, that their Gods were for the mbit 
+part nothing but Marble and Metal, which Ar- 
+
+nohms, and many other worthy Perfons, did ac¬ 
+knowledge when they embraced Chriftianity. And 
+Trifmegi&us alfo, according to the faying of 
+St .Auftin, did really believe, that Idols were to 
+be worfhipped and facrificed unto, that Men 
+might obtain Favours from them, and decline the 
+
+Evils which might happen unto them. 
+
+We have taken notice of this paflage, to op- 
+pofe it to the Dodrine of Calvin, who teaches 
+the contrary, and who publifhes to the World, 
+
+
+that

+the Fathers of the Primitive Church and many 
+worthy Men fince, who have abhorred this abufe 
+that is crept in amongft the Chriftians. Claudius

+T 
+
+
+He Pagans did commonly boaft of feven 
+ftately Structures, that were named, The 
+Seven Wonders of the World. The firft was the 
+
+
+Wall of Babylon 
+
+
+which Queen Semiramlf planted 
+
+
+and the pleafant Gardens 
+
+
+About this 
+
+
+Work three hundred thoufand Men were conti- 
+
+
+nualiy imployed for many years 
+
+
+The fecond ^ lgr 
+
+
+was the ' Labyrinth of Egypt, deferibed by Hero * 
+dotns ,in which 1 6 large Apartments or fumptuous 
+Pallaces were built, to equal the ^Governments 
+or Provinces of Egypt: There were in it fo many 
+ways and artificial walks, that itwasnoeafie 
+matter to find the way out again. Vedalus took 
+
+
+his Model upon this 
+
+
+build his Labyrinth 
+
+
+the Ifle oiCrete. The third Wonder of theWorld 
+
+
+was the Pyramids of Egypt 
+
+
+which 
+
+
+ofa 
+
+
+prodigiou 
+
+
+height,‘fix hundred thoufand Men 
+
+
+were bufie in the building one of them, during 
+the fpace of twenty years, as was commonly 
+
+reported. 
+
+The next was the MaufoUum of Cana, which 
+Queen Artemifia built,as a Sepulchre for her de- 
+
+
+lib.

+
+The lixth, was the S tatue of Jupiter Olympic 
+made by G-’bid.as. of an hundred and fifty Cubits 
+high : The head was of pure Gold, but the Body 
+wasofBrafs. 
+
+But the greateft Wonder, and incomparable 
+Work, was the Temple of Epbefm, dedicated to 
+Diana. An hundred and twenty large Pillars were 
+to he feefi there, every one of them had been the 
+foie enterprife and work of a King, who was re- 
+folved to make his Piety and Magnificence appear 
+
+

+
+fufiicient to know, that Princes and Nations did 
+imploy their Riches and ingenious Inventions of 
+
+Architecture, only in building Temples to their 
+Gods. In which there were always to be feen 
+three Altars : The firft at the entry, where the 
+Victims were offered and burnt \ the fecond, in 
+the middlejand the third at the end of theTemple, 
+in the inclofure called Adytum , and Sacrarium , 
+or Seer eta, and Penetralia. Upon thefe two laft, 
+
+only Perfumes and fweetScents wereufually burnt 
+
+In this place Beds and Cuffiions were commonly 
+
+pbeed, called therefore Lettifternia and Pulvi- 
+
+
+that the Peopl 
+
+
+might fit and lean upon 
+
+
+them m theFeafts, which were there dedicated to 
+
+
+the Gods 
+
+

+Minifters, who fed in ftead of their Gods upon the

+
+Additional Note. 
+
+In this laft Chapter, thefe following particulars 
+of the Wonders of the World are omitted, which 
+
+may deferve our knowledge. 
+
+The Walls of Babylon built by that Warlike 
+
+Queen S emir amis, of a fat Clay only found near 
+Euphrate, were very large and high. Pliny fpeaks Lib 
+of 200 Feet in height, others of 2 50, and fome of 
+300 : But the ordinary opinion is, that they were 
+50 Cubits high •, and fo broad, that two or three 
+Chariots might go upon them in abreaft without 
+danger. Diodorus faith,that they were 300 or 350 
+Stadia about,(and 5 Stadia high ) that is about 22 
+Englijb miles. This.ftately Wall, and the great 
+Bridge that did reach over theRiver Euphrates,this

+
+The Pyramids of Egypt do remain to this very 
+day, if we may believe the Travellers that have sands Jour 
+
+lately been in that Country,but they are mightily nal. 
+
+defaced by time.There were three of them: The 
+greateft was built by Cbemnis King of Egypt, as a 
+ftately Monument of his Power,and to be his Se¬ 
+
+
+pulchre after his Death 
+
+
+It was placed about 16 
+
+
+Englijh miles from Memphis or Grand Cairo : 1 1 was 
+about the length of 6 Acres of Land in height, as 1 ^ 0 foot

+
+When the Arifiocracy did gain upon the Demo- 
+
+c ™ c h ai ]d that the People felt themfelves over¬

+iort 3 & from thofe grievances of which they com¬ 
+plained. The Roman Empire continued many hun¬ 
+dred years in a flourifhing Eftate. 
+
+It is fuppofed, that this mixed kind of govern- 
+mentwas one of the main helps, to raife it to that 
+excemve power, unto which it arrived in the time 
+
+
+Of Julius C Afi 
+
+
+For when there was a way opefi

+riority in Power and Riches,which when it is po¬ 
+pular & obliging, it muft needs make People for¬ 
+get the liberty to which they were born, and in* 
+fenfibly bring in a Monarchy. At firft, in fuch a 
+potent Empire, it could not but meet withoppo- 
+jition. In fuch a cafe,whatever fide did get the Vi- 
+ftory, the Publick was fure to lofe its Freedom*

+sal Intereft. Therefore, if either Pompeyov Brum 
+had overcome, it is imagined by all rational Peo¬ 
+ple, that they had never reftored unto the Romans 
+that beloved liberty, which they enjoyed before. 
+
+The truth is, that then the Empire was grown fo 
+great, and the Roman Citizens fo powerful,that if 
+there had not been one above them, to moderate 
+their pretenfions, and keep them from Divifions, 
+the Roman Empire had been often troubled with
