or Superior Power that hath its residence in Heaven which they say is content to enjoy quietly the delights of his own Felicity without being offended at the ill actions of Men and is endued with so great goodness as not to take any Revenge even of his Enemies which makes them render Heaven neither Honour nor Adoration interpreting its literality and long sufferings as an effect of its weakness or indifference towards Mankind believing that there are a number of good and evil Spirits the good being their Gods and every one imagines that he has one designed for his conduct yet will not acknowledg them the Creators of the World and when I have told them that I adore that God which made Heaven and Earth and causeth the Earth to bring forth Fruits and Herbs for our Nourishment and binds the Divel from doing us too much harm they will only laugh at me for my pains When they recover from any Disease they set a little Table and upon one end of it their Offerings but without the least Adorations or Prayers yet sometimes they invocate their Gods but by proxy that is by their Priests and that upon four occasions to demand Revenge to be healed of Diseases to know the event of their Warrs and to invocate them to drive away their great Devil for they never Pray to him His Invocation is by singing some Words and burning some herbs the scent of which is so pleasant that it makes this Devil appear And as their several Priests invocate their several Gods at one time these Gods or rather Devils rail quarrel and seem to sight with each other These Devils suffer themselves sometimes to see bones of dead men taken out of the Graves and wrapt in Cotton and thereby give Oracles saying 't is the Soul of the deceased Person they make use of them to bewitch their Enemies the Sorcerer wrapping up these bones with something that belongs to the Enemy These Devils do sometimes too enter into the bodies of Women and speak by them clearly answering all Questions demanded After the Boy or Priest is retired the Devil stirs the Vessels and makes a Noise with his Jaws as if he were eating and drinking the presents prepared for him but the next day they find he has not meddled with any thing These poor Wretches complain that sometimes the Devil beats them and shew on their bodies the visible marks of the blows they have received sometimes they make horrible Complaints of his Cruelty You must not expect any great Morals from them that have so ill a Guide as the Devil Rapine Injustice and Treachery are the Ingredients that compose them The Nobler sort of Women are very beautiful particularly the Princess of Terhenahete Sister to the King of Tominec whose Slave it was my fortune to be not only by the will of that King who presented me to her but also by Love which had added a great deal to my Captivity I know not how it came to pass but this lovely Princess after I had served her some time begun to shew me a more favourable aspect than usually and would often make me tell the Adventures of my Life and the unlucky Accident of my Fathers Royal Voyage which he seem'd as I did my self both to pity and rejoyce at the more she admitted me to her Converse the more I was enamour'd of her Perfections and forgetting the condition Fortune had now reduc'd me to thought I might have the Priviledge to discover my Passion to her which being over-heard by one of my Fellow Slaves was immediately carry'd to the King who finding his Sisters Inclinations not much averse to me storm'd not a little and immediately caus'd her to be remov'd into the Country to a solitary Castle of his and order'd none but Women to be about her He separated me from her and dispos'd of me to a Favourite of his who us'd me with all the severity imaginable which made me resolve to venture at my Escape at least into the Neighbouring Kingdom where if I gain'd not my Liberty I was in hopes I should much lighten my Captivity I furnish'd my self therefore with what Weapons I could get and when I found an Opportunity I got a small Boat and put to Sea which by the Morning drove my Boat upon a Rock and broke it all to pieces near the shoar whither with my Arms I swam and coming to Land I found my self on a great large Heath or Wilderness on which I travell'd as Chance directed me till I began now to be faint for want of Food and Night apace coming on but no sight of any house to shelter my self in till it now being dusky I spy'd to the East a small Cottage whither I made with all my Force lest I should lose it by the hastning darkness But the speed of the Night was nimbler than mine however by the great earnestness with which I made toward this Cottage I had imprinted in my mind the place of its scituation so sure that guided by that or Chance or some Diviner Power I at last came to it and from one of the Loop-holes spying a small Light I thought it convenient to peep in first and see if with safety I might venture in or whether it were the by-retreat of some Robbers But the Object that presented it self to my eyes did not a little surprize me when I saw my beautiful Princess in danger and struggling with the mighty Onsets of a bold Ravisher whilst an old Hagg sat hard by without bringing her any Relief I staid no longer to consider but immediately burst into the place with my Weapon in my hand they expecting no such bold Intrusion had not fastned the door and were not a little surpriz'd to find their designs prevented I gave the Villain no time of Consideration but stuck him to the heart and made him fall at the feet of my beloved Terhenahete with his Life to attone for his sacrilegious intentions I had no sooner dispatched him but I found another Enemy call'd in by the old Hagg I mention'd who made at me with a long Fork he us'd about his Employments but leaping on one side he run it into the Wall with such a force that it stuck there beyond his power to pull it out if he attempted it at the same time I wounded him but not effectually enough to deprive him of doing us any further Mischief for quickly disengaging himself he run to the Window under which lay an Ax with which he us'd to fell Wood in the Forrest and at the same time the old limping Hagg had got another small Hatchet and with it was making toward my adoreable Fair One here distracted betwixt both I knew not which to prevent till soon perceiving the danger nearer her the other now begining to stagger and come on but slowly with his new acquir'd Weapon I with all my force struck at her Legs unwilling to kill a Woman in any shape so that I cut

indeed tho an innovation in our Belief and Custom bore so much of Reason that it easily gain'd admittance with the wiser sort for domestick experience gave us some knowledge how inconvenient it would be in Heaven to have many commanders since our own Isle had suffer'd so much under Civil divisions by having more than one and at that time it had a great many from this new Prophet we have this

condemn'd to punishment who in his life has done more good than harm but if their evil deeds be more ponderous he sends them to Hell The Rewards for their good Actions are divided into seven distinct Mansions of Heav'n and the Torments of Hell have the same number of divisions this Angel has the assistance of the 16th by name Rusuii to whose charge the scales are deliver'd and Mehur sits as Judge

the former the 33d is servant to Gabuel After God had created the Angels he employ'd them in the Creation of the Heavens which were finished in forty five Dayes After which a terrible Darkness appear'd 96000 Furlongs distant from God which when he perceived he considered with himself that some Enemy of his was produc'd and that he was very strong which prov'd to be the Devil Wherefore he commanded Aeudibehest Azer Shoroth and Rhy-Rhaam to Fight with him and bind and bring him prisoner The Divel was produc'd from himself and in imitation of God created Angels or Evil Spirits whose Names are 1 Gojusta-gonahmino-minedate servant to the Devil 2 Ashmogh 3 Kendorkha 4 Duria Atkoman These four Devils have command to make Wars Distractions Confusions and Enmities in the World The 5

hands and is very Terrible his Title is Melick Almud The King of Death The Devil having prepar'd this Army 't was time for God to look about him Whereas I have said he sent the four Angels to Fight him who after a sharp Battle took the great Devil Asemau prisoner and brought him to Heaven from whence he broke prison and run away Upon which another sharp War ensued wherein the Devil was brought to terms of extremity He desired Quarter and yielded himself up to the Mercy of the Conqueror Upon which God considered with himself That if he should utterly destroy the Devil and all his generation his own Glory and Mercy would not so evidently appear as it would if he suffered the Devils darkness and cruelty to have a being else that there could be no distinction between Good and Bad Vice and Vertue On these considerations God did not utterly destroy the Devil but suffered him to have a being in the world on this Account That whatsoever Good should fall out or be done in the world should be attributed to God and whatsoever Evil should be charged on the Devil Then as for the time of the continuance of the World and the Devil we hold that it was ordered by God the World from the first Creation should continue twelve thousand Years three thousand then being expired at the Conquest of the Devil and his Angels the remaining
