 Infidel Minifters & Inchanters had to confult with their

 his private place, whither they of that Province came 

 to worfhip it with an cxceflivc charge of things which 

 they brought for hisfervice. And thereby they fuppo. 

 fed to keep fafely in obedience,thofe Provinces which 

 they had conquered, holding their gods, as it were in
