Montanus coniectureth Parias in the West Indies to haue come but with little probabilitie which I can see And of the most before named we haue probable coniectures not certaine proofes as appeareth by the difference of opinions of Authours concerning them Neither may we thinke that Moses intended so much a Geographicall Historie of all the Nations of the World many of which were not long after this time planted or peopled but of the first Fathers who peopled the places by degrees as they increased in multitude which were neerest that Armenian Centre and especially hee relateth and dilateth of them whom it most concerned the Israelites to know as the Cananites whose bounds and Nations are exactly described I could adde much touching the seuerall Nations descending of these three Brethren and the bounds of their Habitations in which Africanus sometime tooke profitable paines and Eusebius out of him although both be in this part lost somewhat hath beene barbarously translated into Latine by an vnknowne Authour for the Soloecismes tedious for the substance of History profitable to the Reader and therefore by Scaliger in his Edition of Eusebius communicated to the World But the vncertaintie maketh me vnwilling to proceed in this Argument further Of this vncertaintie no greater cause can bee alleaged then the diuision and confusion of Tongues the Historie whereof Moses declareth For whereas God had giuen to Man two Priuiledges and principall Prerogatiues whereof other creatures are no way capable his inward Reason and abilitie to vtter the same by Speech this benefit of God in Nature was turned into a Conspiracie against God and Nature They said one to another Come let vs make Bricke for stone and slime had they in stead of morter Also they said Let vs build vs a Citie and Tower whose top may reach vnto the Heauen that we may get vs a name lest we be scattered vpon the whole Earth This was their vaine arrogance and presumption that when their guiltie consciences threatned a dissipation and scattering by diuine Iustice they would thus hearten and harden themselues against GOD and Man in stead of thankefulnesse to GOD and honouring his Name they would winne themselues a name and honour in stead of preuenting punishment by Repentance they would in this Gyant-like fighting against GOD preuent future iudgements But euen that by which they intended to keepe them from scattering was the true and first cause of their scattering So doth GOD scatter the counsels of his Enemies and taketh the wise in their craftinesse Babel or confusion is alway the Attendant of Pride Sibylla alleaged by Iosephus for the Sibyls which wee haue in Greeke Verse translated by Castalion into Latine are but counterfeits if 〈◊〉 Scaliger iudge rightly Pseudo sybyllina oracula quae Christiani gentibus obijciebant quum ramen è Christianorum officina prodijssent c. but that more ancient Sibyll testifieth of this confusion of Tongues in these words When all men before vsed one speech they erected a high Tower as if they would ascend to Heauen but the Gods by Tempests ouerthrew 〈…〉 Tower and gaue to each of them seuerall Languages whereof the Citie was named Babylon According to that of Moses Therefore the name of it was called Babel , because the Lord did there confound the language of all the Earth From thence then did the Lord scatter them vpon all the Earth The Atheists and Naturalists 〈…〉 the World to eternal and conceiue that all all men could not be of one cause of this diuersitie of sinne caused If such had beene at Hierusalem and heard the Apostle not the expertest men in their owne vulgar speake all Languages they 〈…〉 then haue like seen the power in a contrarie effect to this of Babylon Mans 〈…〉 this Gods 〈…〉 that the one came from Babylon the other from Hierusalem that old Hierusalem giuing a taste and earnest of that which the new Ierusalem shall once fully accomplish when all shall be made new and all shall be one and God shall be in all It appeareth that these builders lost the the vnderstanding of their owne speech and were endued with other Languages whereto their Vnderstandings and Tongues were framed in stead of that former What his former Language was hath beene doubted either of ignorance or of c●riositie and selfe-loue Theodoret esteemeth Syrian the first language and that Hebrew 〈…〉 with Moses Ioseph Scaliger affirmeth that the Syrian Maronites attribute greater Antiqutie to the ancient Syrian then to the Hebrew which is all one saith he as if one should contend that the Italian Idiome were

Bembus full of mysticall Characters explained by Laurentius Pignorius in a Treatise of this Argument may further acquaint the desirous Reader Diodorus thinketh this the cause why they consecrated Goats and erected Images of Satyres in their Temples ; affirming that their Priests are first initiated in these bawdie Rites §. II. The causes of Consecrating their Beasts and the mysticall sences of their Superstitions THeir canonized Beasts of which the Aegyptians and Syrians saith Tully conceiued stronger opinions of Deuotion then the Romans of their most sacred Temples were Dogges Cats Wolues Crocodiles Ichnumods Rammes Goates Bulls and Lions in honour of Isis their sacred Birds were the Hawke Ibis Phoenicopterus besides Dragons Aspes Beetles amongst things creeping and of Fishes whatsoeuer had scales and the Eele Yea their reason did not onely to sensible things ascribe Diuinitie but Garlike and Onions were free of their Temples devided therefore by Ia●end Porrum coepe nofas violare frangere morsu O sanctas gentes quibus haec nascuntur in hortis Numina For this cause some thinke the Hebrewes were in such abhomination to the Aegyptians that they would not eate with them as eating and sacrificing those things which the other worshipped Example whereof Deodorus an eye-witnesse telleth That when Ptolemey gaue entertainment to the Romans whose friend hee was declared ; a Roman at vnawares hauing killed a Cat could not by the Kings authoritie sending Officers for his rescue nor for feare of the Romans bee detayined from their butcherly furie For such was their custome for the murther of those sacred Creatures to put to death by exquisite torments him that had done it wittingly and for the Bird Ibis and a Cat although vnwittingly slaine And therefore if any espie any of them lying dead hee standeth aloofe lamenting and protesting his owne innocencie The cause of this blinde zeale was the metamorphosis of their distressed Gods into these shapes Secondly their ancient Ensignes Thirdly the profit of them in common life Origen addeth a fourth because they were vsed to diuination and therefore saith hee forbidden to the Israelites as vncleane Eusebius out of the Poet citeth a fifth cause namely the Diuine Nature diffused into all Creatures after that of the Poet Deum namque ire per omnes Terrasque tractusque maris coelumque profundum God goes thorow Sea and Land and loftie Skies I might adde a sixth that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or transanimation which Pythagoras it seemeth borrowed hence and from India Yea Aeneas Gazeus a Platonike in his Theophrastus or Dialogue of the Soules immortalitie affirmeth That Plato learned this opinion of the Egyptians and dispersed it through all his Bookes as did Plotinus and other his followers after him numbring amongst the rest Prophyrius and Iamblichus If I might with the Readers patience I would adde somewhat of their Mysterie of iniquitie and this mysticall sense of this iniquitie For as many haue sweat in vnfolding the mysteries of that Church which spiritually is called Sodome and Aegypt as Ambrosius de Amariolo Amalarius Durandus Durantus and others so heere haue not wanted mysticall Interpreters Porphirius Iambliochus Plutarch and the rest Such is the deepenesse of Sathan in the shallownesse of humane both reason and truth Water and Fire they vsed in all their Sacrifices and doe them deuoutest worship saith Porphiry because those Elements are so profitable to mans vse and for this vse sake they adored so many Creatures at Anubis they worshipped a Man But especially they held in veneration those creatures which seemed to hold some affinitie with the Sunne Euen that stinking Beetele or Scarabee did these more blinde then Beetles in their stinking superstitions obserue as a liuing Image of the Sunne because forsooth all Scarabees are of Male sexe and therefore also saith Aelian Souldiers wore the figure of the Scarabee in their Rings as thereby insinuating their masculine spirits and hauing shed their seed in the dung doe make a ball thereof which they rowle too and fro with their feete imitating the Sunne in his circular journey Iulius Firmicus inueigheth against them for their worship and supplications and superstitious vowes made to the Water and for that their fabulous Legend of Osiris Isis and Typhon vnfolding the Historie and Mysterie Eusebius followeth this Argument in the seuerall Beasts which they worship but to auoyd tediousnesse I leaue him to looke on Plutarchs paines in this Argument Hee maketh Isis to bee deriued of the Verbe 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to know as being the Goddesse of Wisedome and Knowledge to whom Typhon for his ignorance is an enemie For without Knowledge Immortalitie it selfe could not deserue the name of Life but of Time Their Priests shaued their owne haire and wore not woollen but linnen garments because of their professed puritie to which the haire of Man or Beast being but an excrement disagreed and for this cause they reiected Beeues Mutton and Porke as meates which cause much excrements Yea their Apis might not drinke of Nilus for this Riuers fatning qualitie but of a Fountaine peculiar to his holinesse At Heliopolis they might not bring wine into the Temple holding it vnseemely to drinke in the presence of their Lord They had many purifications wherein Wine was forbidden Their Kings which were also Priests had their sacred stints of wine and did not drinke it at all before Psammoticus time esteeming Wine to be the Bloud of them which sometime warred against the gods out of whose slaine carkasses Vines proceeded and hence proceedeth drunkennesse and madnesse by wine Their Priests abstaine from all fish they eate not Onions because they grow most in the wane of the Moone they procure also teares and thirst Their Kings were chosen either of the Priests or of the Souldiers and these also after their election were presently chosen into the Colledge of Priests Osiris signifieth many eyes in the Egyptian language Os is much and Eri an eye The Image of Minerua at Sai had this inscription I am all which is which hath beene which shall be whose shining light no mortall man hath opened Ammon they call Am the same as is before said with Ham or Cham the sonne of Noah in the vocatiue case as inuocating him whom they hold the chiefe God of the World to manifest himselfe They esteemed children
