although_o they_o will_v not_o be_v know_v by_o their_o extreme_a do_n homer_n say_v that_o the_o theban_n have_v five_o custom_n wherein_o they_o be_v more_o extreme_a than_o any_o other_o nation_n 1_o the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o child_n draw_v to_o five_o year_n of_o age_n be_v mark_v in_o the_o forehead_n with_o a_o hot_a iron_n because_o in_o what_o place_n soever_o they_o come_v they_o shall_v be_v know_v for_o theban_n by_o the_o mark_n 2_o the_o second_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v accustom_v their_o child_n to_o travail_v always_o on_o soot_n and_o the_o occasion_n why_o they_o do_v this_o be_v because_o the_o egyptian_n keep_v their_o beast_n for_o their_o god_n and_o therefore_o whensoever_o they_o travel_v they_o never_o ride_v on_o horseback_n because_o they_o shall_v not_o seem_v to_o sit_v upon_o their_o god_n 3_o the_o three_o be_v that_o none_o of_o the_o citizen_n of_o thebes_n shall_v marry_v with_o any_o of_o strange_a nation_n but_o rather_o cause_v they_o to_o marry_v parent_n with_o parent_n because_o the_o friend_n marry_v with_o friend_n they_o think_v the_o friendship_n and_o love_n shall_v be_v more_o sure_a 4_o the_o four_o custom_n be_v that_o no_o theban_n shall_v in_o any_o wise_a make_v a_o house_n for_o himself_o to_o dwell_v in_o but_o first_o christian_a he_o shall_v make_v his_o grave_n wherein_o he_o shall_v be_v bury_v â—_o i_o think_v that_o in_o this_o point_n the_o theban_n be_v not_o too_o extreme_a nor_o excessive_a but_o that_o they_o do_v like_o sage_a and_o wise_a man_n yea_o and_o by_o the_o law_n of_o verity_n i_o swear_v that_o they_o be_v sage_a than_o we_o be_v for_o if_o at_o least_o we_o do_v employ_v our_o thought_n but_o two_o hour_n in_o the_o week_n to_o make_v our_o grave_n it_o be_v unpossible_a but_o that_o we_o shall_v correct_v every_o day_n our_o life_n 3_o the_o five_o custom_n be_v that_o all_o the_o boy_n which_o be_v exceed_v fair_a in_o their_o face_n shall_v be_v by_o they_o

they_o make_v the_o man_n fair_a and_o the_o woman_n foul_a for_o the_o man_n which_o be_v very_o fair_a be_v but_o a_o unperfect_a woman_n and_o the_o woman_n which_o be_v extreme_a foul_a be_v but_o

be_v so_o bold_a to_o kill_v any_o beast_n of_o the_o same_o colour_n in_o such_o form_n and_o manner_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o kill_v both_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o not_o the_o brute_n beast_n i_o do_v not_o say_v this_o well_o do_v of_o the_o theban_n theban_n to_o slay_v their_o child_n nor_o yet_o i_o do_v say_v that_o it_o be_v well_o do_v to_o sacrifice_v man_n and_o woman_n which_o have_v red_a or_o tawny_a hair_n nor_o i_o think_v it_o a_o thing_n reasonable_a that_o they_o shall_v do_v reverence_n to_o the_o beast_n of_o that_o colour_n but_o i_o wonder_v why_o they_o shall_v so_o much_o despise_v foul_a woman_n and_o fair_a man_n since_o all_o the_o world_n be_v people_v both_o with_o with_o fair_a and_o foul_a then_o since_o those_o barbarous_a live_v as_o they_o
