what_o they_o affirm_v i_o demand_v then_o what_o reason_n they_o have_v to_o condemn_v his_o history_n as_o false_a and_o fabulous_a will_v they_o say_v they_o know_v they_o better_o than_o the_o

consider_v here_o gentle_a reader_n how_o logical_o they_o reason_n when_o they_o infer_v that_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o true_a because_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v false_a but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o i_o have_v to_o say_v for_o i_o further_o deny_v that_o to_o be_v true_a which_o they_o take_v as_o grant_v and_o already_o prove_v viz._n that_o these_o history_n have_v neither_o substance_n nor_o shadow_n of_o truth_n in_o they_o yet_o admit_v it_o be_v so_o whereon_o i_o beseech_v you_o do_v they_o ground_v their_o opinion_n very_o upon_o these_o two_o reason_n first_o the_o exceed_a great_a impiety_n which_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o some_o particular_n describe_v by_o herodotus_n and_o the_o extreme_a folly_n which_o bewray_v itself_o in_o othersome_a seem_v to_o they_o altogether_o incredible_a second_o consider_v that_o most_o of_o that_o which_o we_o read_v in_o his_o history_n have_v no_o correspondence_n to_o the_o custom_n and_o fashion_n of_o these_o time_n they_o suppose_v ancient_a story_n to_o be_v as_o dissonant_n from_o truth_n as_o they_o be_v from_o that_o which_o they_o daily_o hear_v and_o see_v the_o former_a of_o which_o two_o reason_n branch_a forth_o into_o two_o stem_n or_o head_n i_o have_v encounter_v before_o for_o doubtless_o we_o shall_v find_v some_o as_o notorious_a fact_n as_o any_o mention_v in_o herodotus_n which_o we_o can_v but_o believe_v as_o have_v be_v eye-witness_n thereof_o the_o like_a i_o affirm_v of_o the_o sottishness_n of_o those_o time_n for_o though_o it_o may_v seem_v incredible_a to_o some_o yet_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o if_o it_o be_v compare_v with_o the_o simplicity_n of_o our_o late_a forefather_n it_o will_v be_v find_v but_o as_o a_o molehill_n in_o comparison_n of_o a_o mountain_n or_o a_o dwarf_n of_o a_o giant_n i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a how_o the_o poor_a egyptian_n in_o herodotus_n be_v deride_v and_o laugh_v to_o scorn_v for_o their_o religion_n if_o it_o may_v be_v so_o call_v and_o deserve_o i_o confess_v as_o may_v appear_v by_o their_o exceed_v trifle_a ceremony_n but_o if_o we_o come_v to_o the_o superstitious_a masspriest_n which_o have_v be_v within_o these_o threescore_o year_n and_o narrow_o search_v all_o their_o trash_n and_o trinket_n we_o shall_v be_v in_o a_o manner_n enforce_v to_o confess_v that_o the_o egyptian_n may_v in_o comparison_n even_o glory_n and_o boast_v of_o their_o religion_n i_o say_v in_o comparison_n as_o willing_a of_o two_o evil_n to_o point_n at_o the_o less_o notwithstanding_o lest_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v that_o i_o

great_a fool_n be_v these_o egyptian_n to_o worship_n bruit_n beast_n i_o confess_v they_o be_v great_a fool_n indeed_o yet_o so_o as_o that_o they_o also_o confess_v that_o worshipper_n of_o liveless_a creature_n be_v great_a fool_n than_o those_o that_o worship_n live_v creature_n which_o be_v grant_v the_o masspriest_n cake_n be_v all_o dough_n for_o they_o worship_v both_o dead_a and_o

and_o gold_n but_o wood_n and_o stone_n also_o for_o if_o they_o do_v prostrate_v themselves_o only_o before_o gold_n or_o silver_n their_o worship_n will_v be_v somewhat_o more_o honourable_a as_o the_o heathen_a when_o they_o will_v have_v a_o god_n carry_v some_o majesty_n with_o he_o frame_v he_o of_o one_o of_o these_o two_o metal_n and_o they_o may_v allege_v that_o

jupiter_n transform_v himself_o into_o a_o shower_n of_o gold_n as_o also_o that_o in_o all_o age_n even_o in_o those_o country_n where_o image_n be_v not_o in_o use_n covetous_a man_n have_v worship_v these_o metal_n as_o their_o god_n which_o can_v be_v say_v of_o wood_n and_o stone_n howbeit_o we_o have_v a_o story_n in_o this_o author_n which_o show_v what_o disgrace_n may_v befall_v the_o worshipper_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n as_o well_o as_o of_o wood_n and_o stone_n for_o we_o read_v how_o that_o amasis_n of_o a_o golden_a basin_n wherein_o he_o be_v accustom_v to_o wash_v his_o foot_n make_v a_o god_n and_o why_o may_v he_o not_o as_o well_o make_v a_o basin_n or_o chamber-pot_n of_o his_o god_n as_o a_o god_n of_o his_o basin_n but_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o reader_n consideration_n what_o a_o grief_n and_o shame_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v to_o a_o man_n to_o see_v that_o before_o which_o he_o have_v prostrate_v himself_o convert_v to_o so_o base_a and_o sordid_a use_n as_o can_v once_o be_v name_v with_o modesty_n and_o here_o doubtless_o the_o egyptian_n will_v allege_v for_o themselves_o that_o their_o worship_n be_v direct_v to_o and_o terminate_v in_o live_a creature_n though_o they_o have_v picture_n also_o and_o grave_v image_n be_v not_o liable_a to_o such_o disgrace_n and_o infamy_n i_o omit_v such_o reason_n as_o common_a sense_n lead_v we_o unto_o to_o prefer_v a_o live_a thing_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v before_o that_o which_o be_v void_a of_o life_n or_o which_o never_o have_v life_n and_o come_v to_o the_o other_o point_n viz._n that_o as_o the_o egyptian_n be_v not_o so_o sottish_a in_o their_o worship_n neither_o be_v they_o so_o foolish_a in_o defend_v it_o and_o therefore_o that_o which_o diodorus_n siculus_n report_v of_o the_o alexandrian_n who_o will_v not_o pardon_v a_o roman_a for_o kill_v one_o of_o their_o cat_n be_v more_o excusable_a and_o tolerable_a than_o the_o deal_n of_o our_o massmonger_n whereof_o we_o have_v be_v eye-witness_n when_o they_o cruel_o massacre_v those_o that_o maim_v their_o image_n for_o a_o live_a creature_n maim_v in_o some_o member_n be_v hinder_v of_o the_o natural_a motion_n whereof_o that_o member_n be_v a_o instrument_n but_o do_v he_o i_o beseech_v you_o that_o cut_v off_o the_o leg_n of_o a_o image_n deprive_v it_o of_o walk_v or_o do_v he_o that_o put_v out_o the_o eye_n of_o it_o if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v bereave_v it_o of_o sight_n and_o yet_o the_o egyptian_n never_o take_v such_o cruel_a revenge_n upon_o any_o for_o kill_v their_o cat_n as_o they_o have_v do_v of_o late_a time_n in_o wreck_v their_o malice_n upon_o such_o as_o maim_v any_o of_o their_o marmouset_n or_o puppet_n but_o since_o the_o comparison_n stand_v between_o these_o two_o folly_n whether_o shall_v be_v the_o great_a and_o that_o all_o massmonger_n do_v not_o worship_v image_n we_o will_v come_v to_o that_o which_o all_o the_o professor_n of_o that_o religion_n general_o worship_n which_o be_v their_o great_a goddess_n diana_n the_o pillar_n as_o it_o be_v of_o popery_n &_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o their_o foolery_n which_o they_o maintain_v with_o fire_n and_o sword_n let_v we_o therefore_o weigh_v without_o partiality_n or_o passion_n what_o we_o will_v think_v or_o say_v if_o herodotus_n or_o some_o other_o ancient_a historian_n shall_v tell_v we_o that_o man_n in_o certain_a country_n be_v theophage_n that_o be_v god-eater_n as_o they_o report_v of_o anthropophage_n elephantophage_n acridophage_n phthirophage_n and_o such_o like_a

the_o discretion_n of_o the_o reader_n from_o who_o eye_n god_n of_o his_o goodness_n have_v remove_v the_o veil_n of_o superstition_n not_o doubt_v but_o that_o when_o he_o have_v well_o weigh_v
