Ohfervations in Egypt. ^9^ 



Sprightlinefs, moving along with many winding, circulatory 

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

 of it's Skin, was one of the fymbolical Reprefentations of the 

 Sun. The Beetle' was alfo fubftituted for the fame Deity •/''^^ b="1^» 

 inafmuch, as among other Reafons, all the Infe£ls 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 and Ba'teth '^' ^^''■'^' 

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

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

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

 into the Region of Light. In like Manner, the Wolf-, upon r/.^ woif. 

 Account of it's penetrating Sight and Voracity, was another ^^^j^ ^^^^^^ 

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