Sprightlinefs, moving along with many winding, circulatory 

 Girations, and waxing young again, every Year, by the cafting

 Sun. The Beetle' was alfo fubftituted for the fame Deity ♦,^•^'^'"'^^ 

 inafmuch, as among ether Reafons, all the Infeols of this Tribe 

 were fuppofed to be Males ; that, in Imitation of the Sun's 

 continuing fix Months in the Winter Signs, they continued 

 the fame Time under Ground ; and again, in Conformity alfo 

 to the Sun's Motion, after having inclofed their Embryos in 

 Balls of Dung, they rolled them along, with their Faces look- 

 ing the contrary way. The Hawk', the Thauftus Άηά Baieth'^^''^^'^'^^' 

 as the Egyptians called it, was another Symbol, being a Bird 

 of great Spirit and Vivacity, having a moil piercing Eye, 

 looking ftedfaftly upon the Sun, and foaring, as they imagined, 

 into the Region of Light. In like Manner, the Wolf \ upon Ue woif. 

 Account oi it's penetrating Sisht and Voracitv, was another.^, , 

 Emblem ; as were alfo the Lyon % and the Goofe ', both of '/^'' cooic.
