Nor when the Priests do this, is the same considered as a punishment, or arising from the orders of the general, but from the immediate command of the Deity, Him whom they believe to accompany them in war. They therefore carry with them when going to fight, certain images and figures taken out of their holy groves.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
