The
original
of
the
Heathen
Goddes
.
WHAT
tyme
the
spirites
of
the
aire
(
whom
the
scripture
callethe
rulers
of
thys
worlde
)
began
to
geue
answeres
of
Prophecie
out
of
Images
made
to
resemble
mortall
menne
,
Isis
:
the
Assirians
Neptune
:
Faunus
▪
the
Romaines
Quirene
,
Athens
Pallas
,
the
Delphians
Apollo
,
Iupiter
,
the
Assirians
Belus
,
and
manye
countries
had
diuerse
other
goddes
,
&
some
whiche
is
shame
to
speake
,
worshypped
brut
beastes
,
&
tooke
theim
for
goddes
,
by
reason
wherof
the
Grecians
had
the
opinion
that
the
goddes
had
their
beginnyng
of
men
.
And
thus
when
menne
withdrewe
their
phantasies
from
imagerie
to
the
spirites
inuisable
,
they
persuaded
them selues
that
there
wer
many
goddes
,
&
of
no
smaller
nombre
then
mortal
men
.
Of
this
varietie
of
opinions
the
Philosophiers
,
Thales
Milesius
,
which
fyrst
serched
suche
maters
,
sayd
that
God
was
an
vnderstandyng
,
Pythagoras
called
him
a
liuely
mynde
,
that
pearsed
and
passed
through
al
thynges
,
of
whom
all
liuyng
creatures
receyued
theyr
lyfe
:
and
Cleanthes
defined
God
to
be
the
ayre
.
Anaxagoras
estemed
him
to
be
an
infinite
mynde
,
whiche
did
moue
it self
,
Chrysippus
thought
he
was
a
natural
power
endued
with
godly
reason
,
Some
were
of
the
opinion
that
there
was
no
goddes
.
As
Diagoras
and
Theodorus
affirmed
plaine
that
there
was
no
God
at
al.
Protagoras
reported
that
he
knew
no
certaintie
of
the
Goddes
,
Epicurus
graunted
there
was
a
god
,
but
suche
one
as
was
neither
liberal
,
bounteful
,
nor
that
had
any
regarde
of
thinges
:
that
is
to
say
,
God
is
no
God
,
but
a
cruel
&
vnkynde
monster
.
Anaximander
supposed
the
Goddes
to
be
borne
and
not
to
dye
tyll
after
many
ages
.
Osiris
,
&
the
Moone
that
was
named
Isis
.
Notwithstandyng
Lactancius
writeth
,
that
Saturnus
was
the
first
father
of
the
goddes
,
Iupiter
,
Iuno
,
Neptune
,
Pluto
and
Glauca
by
his
wyfe
Ops.
And
for
the
benefites
that
they
shewed
to
their
subiectes
,
they
were
deified
of
them
.
But
in
suche
varietee
of
opinions
it
is
a
thyng
difficile
too
determine
the
first
ofspryng
of
the
goddes
both
bycause
they
be
but
vayne
,
and
also
sprong
out
of
mortal
humanitie
.
And
againe
to
speake
of
God
as
he
is
in
his
supernatural
essence
is
a
thing
daungerous
,
Simonides
dyd
declare
verie
well
:
Hiero
to
shew
him
what
thyng
and
of
what
sorte
God
was
,
he
desired
to
haue
one
day
respite
:
when
he
asked
him
the
nexte
daye
,
he
praied
to
haue
two
dayes
:
and
so
often
as
the
kyng
enquired
of
him
an
answere
he
encreased
the
nomber
of
the
daies
of
deliberacion
:
the
kyng
meruelyng
that
he
doubled
so
many
tymes
the
daies
,
enquired
why
he
dyd
so
?
For
the
more
(
ꝙ
he
)
that
I
considre
the
thyng
and
muse
on
●t
,
the
more
obscure
and
in●ricate
it
semeth
to
me
.
The
wh●che
thyng
if
the
Philosophiers
,
●●●che
lyke
to
blynde
warriers
,
wanderyng
in
darkenesse
had
doone
,
they
would
not
haue
diuised
so
many
lyes
to
offende
or
displease
their
creator
.
For
it
is
better
to
be
ignoraunt
in
the
trueth
,
then
to
teache
errour
.
Therfore
to
conclud
(
as
Macrobie
writeth
)
there
is
but
one
God
,
Virgil
writeth
thus
.
Heauen
,
and
yearth
,
and
the
water
large
,
The
bright
circle
of
the
heauenly
sphere
,
The

fostereth

and

ful
charge
Passyng
through
all
,
to
guyde
it
euery

.
AND
Plato
saieth
there
is
but
one
God
,
and
affirmeth
that
this
worlde
was
created
by
him
:
and
was
called
God

The
principles
of
natural
thinges
.
ALBEIT
it
was
conuenient
to
haue
begonne
this
present
treatise
of
declaryng
the
principles
of
naturall
creatures
,
and
so
consequently
to
haue
expounded
the
originall
of
the
Goddes
,
forsomuche
as
they
haue
their
beginnyng
of
the
same
thynges
:
yet
the
reuerence
that
I
haue
to
the
true
God
,
whiche
was
afore
all
other
creatures
,
moueth
me
to
begynne
at
hym
as
the
cause
principal
of
the
rest
.
Therefore
as
concernyng
the
causes
of
thinges
,
I
wyl
shewe
fyrst
the
myndes
of
the
Philosophiers
that
be
moost
probable
,
vntyl
I
come
to
the
trueth
self
.
Thales
one
of
the
seuen
wyse
men
of
Grece
holdeth
opinion
that
water
was
matter
of
all
thynges
.
Heraclitus
an
Ephesian
and
Hippasus
suppose
al
to
be
procreated
of
fire
Empedocles
saieth
the
foure
elementes
wer
the
causes
of
thinges
as
Lucretius
writeth
.
Of
water
,
earth
,
aire
,
&
firye
glede
,
All
thinges
natural
duely
procede
.
Anaximenes
thynketh
al
thynges
to
haue
their
beginnyng
of
the
ayre
,
Metrodorus
affirmeth
the
vniuersal
worlde
to
be
eternal
without
beginnyng
or
end
.
Epicurus
one
of
Democritus
disciples
putteth
two
causes
Atomos
or
Motes
&
vacuite
or
emptines
,
Moses
&
Iosephus
recorde
)
the
scripture
concludeth
that
God
made
all
thinges
of
nothing
in
the
beginnyng
,
Lactantius
writeth
)
let
no
man
be
curious
in
searching
of
what
stuffe
God
made
these
great
and
wonderfull
workes
,
for
he
fourmed
them
al
of
nothyng
by
the
power
of
his
mightie
worde
.
For
as
Dauid
the
prophet
singeth
,
he
spake
the
worde
and
they
were
made
,
he
gaue
commaundement
and
they
were
created
.
Of
the
same
opinion
is
Plato
in
his
booke
called
Tymaeus
.

¶
The
procreacion
of
man
,
the
diuersitee
of
languages
,
and
diuision
of
nations
.
THE
most
famous
writers
of
naturall
hystories
(
as
Diodorus
recordeth
)
spake
of
two
sondry
maners
of
birth
:
Pythagoras
,
Architas
,
Xenocrates
,
&
Aristotle
with
other
Per●patetekes
,
affirmyng
that
al
thinges
in
the
eternal
world
,
whiche
haue
bene
or
shall
hereafter
come
to
passe
,
be
by
generation
endles
and
without
beginnyng
,
and
haue
onely
a
circuite
and
course
of
generacions
,
wherin
both
the
birth
&
natural
resolucion
of
thynges
may
be
perceyued
.
Other
that
suppose
this
worlde
had
both
an
originall
cause
of
beyng
and
shal
also
sustein
an
end
by
putrifaction
,
Nilus
,
whiche
,
for
the
lustye
fatnes
of
the
slyme
,
dothe
procreate
diuerse
kyndes
of
beastes
,
&
hath
in
it selfe
naturally
a
certeyn
power
nutratiue
.
For
in
the
countree
of
Thebais
Mice
be
engendered
of
the
mudde
:
Neuerthelesse
Psammaticus
their
kyng
,
Becos
,
which
in
the
Phrigians
language
signifieth
breade
.
Thus
it
was
knowen
that
the
Phrigians
were
the
eldest
linage
and
fyrst
borne
.
The
Ethiopians
,
of
this
coniecture
,
Diodorus
sayeth
)
it
is
probable
that
those
vnder
the
Meridional
equator
should
be
the
auncientest
of
al.
For
seyng
the
heate
of
the
sunne
dryeth
vp
the
moysture
of
the
yearth
,
and
hath
also
of
it selfe
a
power
to
geue
and
preserue
the
life
of
thynges
,
it
is
like
that
the
place
whiche
marcheth
nerest
to
the
sunne
shuld
bryng
furth
the
fyrst
liuyng
creatures
.
Anaximander
taught
that
men
fyrst
sprong
of
water
and
yearth
warmed
with
liuely
heate
.
Empedocles
in
a
maner
confirmeth
the
same
,
where
he
writeth
,
that
euerye
particular
membre
was
seuerally
made
&
proporcioned
of
the
yearth
(
as
a
mother
)
and
so
to
haue
bene
compacted
and
conglutinated
by
heate
and
moysture
into
the
perfecte
figure
and
shappe
of
a
man
.
Democritus
thinketh
menne
were
fyrst
made
of
water
and
mudde
tempered
together
.
Zeno
iudgeth
the
cause
of
mankynde
to
haue
proceded
of
the
newe
worlde
.
And
menne
to
be
onely
begotten
by
the
ayde
and
comfort
of
the
diuine
fyre
,
that
is
the
prouidence
of
God
.
As
for
the
Poetes
,
some
faine
howe
man
was
made
out
of
softe
claye
by
Prometheus
,
Deucalion
and
Pyrtha
cast
,
and
thus
muche
is
of
the
vaine
opinions
of
Gērilitee
.
But
to
speake
the
truth
(
as
scripture
teacheth
)
the
beginnyng
of
manne
was
in
Iurye
.
Nemroth
the
sonne
of
Cham
that
was
sonne
to
Noe
,
after
the
vniuersall
flud
went
about
to
withdrawe
men
(
whiche
dreade
the
daunger
of
drounyng
)
from
the
feare
of
God
,
Noe
were
dispersed
and
scattered
a
broade
.
For
when
one
could
not
vnderstand
anothers
language
,
it
came
to
passe
that
euery
man
departed
into
sundry
prouinces
and
countries
,
Eusebius
testifyeth
.
The
sonnes
of
Noe
were
Sem
,
Cham
,
and
Iaphet
.
The
yssue
of
Sem
was
Elam
,
whereof
the
Elamites
came
.
Assur
,
of
whom
the
Assirians
were
named
Arphaxad
was
auctoure
of
the
Arabians
and
Lud
of
the
Lidians
:
the
children
of
Cham
were
Chus
that
named
the
Ethiopians
,
and
Mesre
the
beginner
of
the
Egyptians
.
Chanaan
of
whom
the
Cananites
had
their
name
:
the
linage
of
Chus
was
Saba
wherof
the
Sabees
came
,
&
Euila
auctoure
of
the
Euelites
.
And
semblably
we
must
beleue
that
of
them
came
al
other
nations
and
people
of
the
worlde
,
whiche
be
now
in
so
great
nombre
,
that
they
cannot
easely
be
nombred
&
counted

The

some

it

Grammer
is
an

of
Poetes
,
the
knowlage
of

exposicion
of

and
a

It

the

of

,
whiche
thyng
menne
counterfettyng
in

made
this

euen
as

was
perceiued

For
it
is
the
duetie
bothe
of
Grammariens
and
oratours
to
haue
a
regarde

respecte
howe
to
speake
.
Hermippus
saieth
that
Epicurus
fyrst
taught
the
arte
of

espyed

It

onelesse
he
haue
fyrst
his
principles
of
Grammer
perfectly
knowen

perceiued

Therfore
in
olde
tyme
Grammariens
were
called
iudges
and
allowers
of
all
other
writers
,
&
for
that
cause
they
were

Critici

In

TRVSE
,
that
is
called
a
couenaunte
of
peace
for
a
season
was
instituted
by
Licaon
:
it
was
taken
somtyme
for
yeres
,
as
the
Romanes
toke
truse
with
the
Veientes
for

yeres

Caius

Theseus
dyd
ordeyne

,
but
Diodorus
assigneth
it
to
Mercurie
.
Neuertheles
they
were
in
frequent
vse
long
afore
that
tyme
in
Assirie
and
Aegipt
,
and
namely
among
the
Hebrues
▪
For
Iacob
made
a
leage
with
Laban
.
Iehosuah
stroke
vp
a
bonde
of
peace
,
and
made
a
loue
day
with
the
Gabaonites
.
Therfore
it
is
a
great
difficultie
to
appoinct
the
inuentor
of
it
.
Ther
were
diuerse
fashions
of
makyng
leages
,
as
the
Romanes
maner
was
of
this
fashion
.
The
Heraulde
of
armes
at
the
commaundemente
of
the
kyng
tooke
and
smit
a
hogge
appointed
for
that
purpose
,
saiyng
:
Iupiter
smyt
him
that
disanulleth
this
holye
leage
,
as
I
stryke
this
hogge
.
But
Polibius
wryteth
that
the
herolde
toke
a
stone
in
his
hand
and
sayd
:
If
I
performe
and
stande
to
the
couenaunte
of
this
leage
without
gyle
or
fraud
,
the
goddes
geue
me
all
thynges
prosperous
:
If
I
either
do
or
thinke
the
contrary
,
I
pray
God
that
I
alone
be
destroyed
and
cast
away
,
as
I
cast
this
stone
from
me
,
and
furth
with
he
threwe
doune
the
stone
.
When
the
Arabiens
make
a
leage
of
peace
,
ther
standeth
one
betwene
the
twoo
parties
that
cutteth
with
a
sharp
stone
the
holowe
of
the
hande
of
the
confederates
,
and
with
the
blode
,
that
issueth
out
,
he
anoynteth
with

taken
out

.vii
sto●es
that
stande
betwene
them
and
inuocateth
Dionisius
and
Vrania

:
then
the
soliciter
and
entreater
for
the
peace
findeth
suretie
for
the
straunger

citezen
that
was
partie
.
The
like
order
was
vsed
in

made
leages

Caue

so
long

,
so
the
pacte
endured

Dionisius
,
whiche
was
replenished
with
the
spoyles
of
many
countrees
led
the

triumph

Acron
Kyng

Ceninens
,
crouned
with
Laurell
and
caried
in

with
foure
horses
entred
into
the
citee
triumphantly
.
And
dedicated
his
praie
and
spoyles
to
Iupiter
as
Dionisius
writeth
.
Albeit
,
Eutropius
saieth
that
Tarquinius
Priscus
first
triumphed
of
the
conquest
of
the
Sabines
.
Camillus
ledde

And

senate
goyng
before
into
the
Capitole
to
Iupiters
temple
,
where
thei
offered
a
white
Bull
and
then

It
was

for

The
sacrifices
that
were
offred

were
named
Saturnalia

After
Hercules
as
he
passed
through

when
he
had
conquered
&
subdued
Ger●on
,
aduertised
them
to
chaunge
that
vnlucky
sacrifice
into
fortunate
oblacions
,
and
taught
them
to
make
Images
of
lytle
boones
and
to
offer
them
to
Pluto
:
And
to
light
tapers
of

in

of
Saturne
.
Lactantius
sayeth
,
Prometheus
made
fyrst
Images
of

&
taught

way
to

Some
say
,
as
Diodorus
writeth
,
that
the
Ethiopians
found
the
fyrst
vse
of
Images
,
&
of
them
the
Egyptiens
learned

Notwithstandyng
I
fynd
that
Images
were
long

For
Rachel
when
her

fled
out
of
Mesopotamia
,
from
Laban
his
father
in
lawe
,
dyd
steale
away
her
fathers
goddes
,
and
therfore
it
appeareth
that
Imagery
is
of
an
auncient
beginnyng
.
And
some
there
be
that
thynke
men
toke
occasyon
of
God
to
make
Images
,
whiche
willyng
to
shewe
to
the
grosse
wyttes

some
perceiueraunce
of
him selfe
,
toke
on

the
shap

Abraham

Iacob

And
the

semeth
in

places
to
attribute
to
him
handes
,
feete
,
eyes
and
eares
,
whiche
be
partes

of

.
And
by

meanes
men
gathered
the
maner
of
making
ymages
of
God
,
bicause
to
kepe
him
in
freshe
memory
.
And
this
is
the

Clement

dooth
signifie

,
Antherius
permitted
that

Caius
firste
made
a
statute

that
a

Entichianus

but
onely
in
matters
concernyng
our

THE
maner
of

was
in

of
this
sorte
:
He

,
they
shuld
,
one
beate

miserably

The

came
of

whiche
had
diuers
felowshyppes
as
Sodales

Ceres
Goddesse

Another
sort
there
is
not

idle

also
theuishe

they
be

bicause

The
occasion
that

it

pitie
that
