that_o be_v under_o the_o crown_n of_o danemarke_n make_v use_n of_o drum_n something_o different_a in_o fashion_n from_o the_o former_a yet_o however_o the_o difference_n be_v so_o small_a that_o i_o believe_v their_o drum_n be_v not_o of_o a_o different_a kind_n from_o we_o but_o make_v only_o for_o some_o particular_a use_n i_o shall_v give_v a_o account_n of_o one_o of_o those_o describe_v in_o wormius_n study_n who_o say_v that_o the_o laplander_n drum_n which_o they_o use_v in_o their_o magic_n and_o by_o beat_v which_o they_o discover_v those_o thing_n they_o desire_v be_v make_v of_o a_o oval_a piece_n of_o wood_n hollow_v in_o length_n a_o foot_n in_o breadth_n ten_o inch_n in_o this_o they_o make_v six_o hole_n and_o put_v a_o handle_n to_o it_o that_o they_o may_v hold_v in_o the_o left_a hand_n whilst_o they_o beat_v it_o with_o the_o other_o upon_o it_o they_o stretch_v over_o a_o skin_n paint_v with_o diverse_a rude_a figure_n draw_v with_o blood_n or_o red_a upon_o this_o lie_v a_o piece_n of_o brass_n in_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o rhomboide_n scmewhat_o convexe_a about_o two_o inch_n in_o diameter_n in_o the_o middle_n of_o this_o and_o at_o each_o corner_n hang_v a_o small_a chain_n the_o instrument_n with_o which_o they_o beat_v the_o drum_n be_v of_o bone_n six_o inch_n long_o about_o the_o thickness_n of_o a_o little_a finger_n and_o make_v much_o like_o the_o latin_a t._n this_o instrument_n the_o laplander_n use_v for_o diverse_a design_n and_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o whatever_o they_o do_v it_o be_v do_v by_o the_o help_n of_o this_o for_o this_o reason_n they_o have_v it_o in_o great_a esteem_n and_o reverence_n take_v such_o care_n in_o secure_v it_o that_o they_o wrap_v it_o with_o the_o index_n and_o hammer_n up_o in_o a_o lambskin_n and_o and_o for_o its_o great_a safety_n lay_v it_o in_o some_o private_a place_n but_o i_o think_v it_o a_o error_n to_o suppose_v they_o to_o lay_v it_o in_o a_o lambskin_n for_o it_o be_v write_v in_o some_o place_n loomskin_n which_o signify_v the_o skin_n of_o a_o bird_n that_o live_v altogether_o in_o the_o water_n they_o think_v it_o so_o sacred_a and_o holy_a that_o they_o suffer_v no_o maid_n that_o be_v marriageable_a to_o touch_v it_o and_o if_o they_o remove_v it_o from_o place_n to_o place_n they_o carry_v it_o the_o last_o of_o all_o and_o this_o must_v be_v do_v too_o only_o by_o man_n or_o else_o they_o go_v with_o it_o through_o some_o untrod_a way_n that_o no_o body_n may_v either_o meet_v or_o follow_v they_o the_o reason_n they_o give_v for_o their_o great_a care_n in_o this_o particular_a be_v because_o they_o believe_v if_o any_o one_o especial_o a_o maid_n that_o be_v marriageable_a shall_v follow_v the_o same_o way_n they_o will_v in_o three_o day_n time_n at_o least_o fall_n into_o some_o desperate_a disease_n and_o common_o without_o any_o hope_n of_o recovery_n this_o they_o seem_v to_o verify_v by_o many_o example_n that_o we_o may_v give_v the_o more_o credit_n to_o it_o and_o we_o have_v the_o less_o reason_n to_o doubt_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o since_o the_o devil_n severe_o command_v his_o worship_n to_o be_v observe_v and_o suffer_v not_o those_o rite_n and_o custom_n he_o have_v impose_v to_o be_v violate_v so_o long_o as_o god_n be_v please_v to_o grant_v he_o this_o liberty_n now_o because_o it_o may_v happen_v sometime_o that_o a_o woman_n may_v out_o of_o necessity_n be_v constrain_v to_o go_v that_o way_n by_o which_o the_o drum_n have_v be_v carry_v the_o devil_n be_v so_o favourable_a as_o to_o permit_v it_o without_o any_o danger_n upon_o condition_n she_o first_o offer_v a_o brazen_a ring_n to_o the_o drum_n those_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n that_o be_v present_a leave_v not_o off_o sing_v all_o the_o time_n he_o lie_v sweat_v in_o this_o agony_n which_o they_o do_v not_o only_o to_o put_v he_o in_o mind_n when_o he_o awake_v of_o the_o business_n he_o be_v to_o know_v but_o also_o that_o he_o recover_v out_o of_o this_o trance_n which_o he_o will_v never_o do_v as_o they_o imagine_v if_o they_o either_o cease_v sing_v or_o any_o one_o stir_v he_o with_o their_o hand_n or_o foot_n this_o perhaps_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o suffer_v no_o fly_n or_o any_o live_a creature_n to_o touch_v he_o and_o it_o be_v upon_o this_o account_n only_o that_o they_o watch_v he_o so_o diligent_o and_o not_o out_o of_o any_o fear_n they_o have_v lest_o the_o devil_n shall_v take_v away_o his_o body_n which_o opinion_n of_o peucers_n be_v altogether_o false_a it_o be_v uncertain_a how_o long_o they_o lie_v in_o this_o manner_n but_o it_o be_v common_o according_a as_o the_o place_n where_o they_o make_v their_o discovery_n be_v near_a or_o far_o off_o but_o the_o time_n never_o exceed_v 24_o hour_n let_v the_o place_n be_v at_o never_o so_o great_a a_o distance_n after_o he_o awake_v he_o show_v they_o some_o token_n to_o confirm_v their_o belief_n in_o what_o he_o tell_v they_o this_o be_v the_o
