Now we will fhew and declare which of all the goddeffes they chiefly honour, and in whofe name they folemnize and celebrate the greateft feaft. Hauing therefore moft de- uoutely fpent the eue or day before the feafl: in folemne failing and prayer, they facrifice an Oxe, whofe hyde incontinently they pull off and take out his entrayl...es, fuffering the leafe and fat to remayne within him. After that, they hewe off the fhanke bones, with the lower part of the loyne and fhoulders, likewife the head and the necke, which done, they farce and ftuffe the body with halowed bread, hony, rayfons, figges, franckincenfe, myrrhe, and other precious odours. Thefe things accompliflied they offer him vp in facrifice, pouring into him much wine and oyle, and abiding ftill faffing, vntill fuch time as the offering be finifhed.
