CHAP. XVII.

Of the Theologie, and Religion of the Phoenicians.

PHoenicia is the Sea coast of Syria, after Plinie, or that coast and tract bordering on the Sea from Orthosa (now Tortosa) to Pelusium. Stra∣bo lib. 16. Sachoniatho a a 1.1 Phoenician, supposed to haue liued before the Troian warre, wrote in his owne language, the Historie of his Nation, which Philo Biblius translated into Greeke. This Philo in the beginning of his Worke saith, That his Author, Sachoniathe, as hee was generally learned, so especially he searched out those things, which Taan∣tus, called of the Aegyptians Thoyth, of the Greekes Mercury, the first inuen∣ter of Letters, had written: hee also blamed those, that by Allegories and Tro∣pologies peruert and obscure the Historie of their Gods; affirming plainely, That the auncient Phoenicians, Aegyptians, and others adored those men for Gods, that had beene the Authors of good things to men, applying to them also the names of those Naturall Gods, the Sunne, Moone, &c. so making some Gods mortall, some immortall. According to this Taautus therefore, the first beginnings of all things were a darke disordered Chaos, and the spirit of the darke aire. Hence proceeded Moth, which wee may interpret Mire, from whence issued the seedes and gene∣ration of all creatures in the Earth and Heauen. The Sunne by his heate separating these new-formed Creatures, their conflict in the aire produced Thunder, which noyse awaked, and caused to leape out of their earth, this slimie generation; after of the Winde Colpia, and Baan (which signifieth Night) were borne men, named Age and First-borne, of whome descended in succeeding generations those Gi∣ants, that left their names to the hills where they dwelt, Cassius & Libanus, that con∣tended against their brother Vson, who first aduentured the sea in the bodies of trees burned, (in which manner the Indians, euen yet, make their canoas or boats) and he erected two Statues to the Winde and the Fier, whom he adored with the bloud of beasts.

These first men after their death had Statues consecrated to them by posteritie, and yearely solemnities. To these succeeded others, inuenters of Artes, hunting, fishing, building, yron-workes, tents, and such like. To Misor, one of these, was borne Taautus, first Author of Letters. At that time was borne Elius, and Beruth his wife, which dwelt in Biblos, the Parents of Caelus, and Terra, (his wife and sister) who deified with rites and ceremonies their father Elius, being torne of wild beasts. To these were borne Saturne, Batilus, Dagon and Atlas.

But Caelus taking other wiues, there arose a great quarrell betwixt him and his former, aided herein by her sonnes: of whome Saturne the eldest, created Mercurie his Scribe, by whose Magicall Arts, and by those Weapons (first by him, and Minerua the daughter of Saturne deuised) Coelus was ouerthrowne: who, after two and thirtie yeeres warre betwixt them, was taken by his sonne, and depriued of his genitories.

Saturne had issue (besides his daughters Minerua and Proserpina) Amor, Cu∣pido, Saturne, Iupiter Belus, and Apollo, of his sisters, Ascarte, Rhaea, Dione. Then also were borne Typho, Nereus, Pontus, the father of Neptune. Saturne suspecting his brother Atlas, buried him in the ground, and cast vp a high hill ouer him: where, not long after, was a Temple erected to him. Dagon was inuenter of Tillage; and therefore called b 1.2 Iupiter of the Plough. But Saturne becomming a great Con∣querour, bestowed Aegypt on Taautus or Mercury, who first made a mysterie of their Theologie, as the sonne of one Thaion first did among the Phaenicians; ap∣plying allegoricall interpretations thereof to Nature; and instituting rites to Po∣steritie. This allegoricall Theologie of Taantus was interpreted by Surmobolus and Thurro. It followeth in the Historie, That it was then a custome, in great calamities, for the Prince to appease the angry Daemon with his best beloued sonne, and thus (in the time of a perillous warre) was Leüd the sonne of Saturne, by a Nymph, na∣med Anobreth, cloathed in royall apparrell, offered on an Altar erected for that purpose. This was practised long after by the King of Moab 2. King. chap. 3. who being besieged by three Kings of Israel, Iuda, and Idumaea, sacrificed his eldest sonne: which yet some interprete of the eldest sonne of the King of Idumaea.

Taautus ascribed Diuinity to the Serpent, c 1.3 as being of a most fierie and spirituall nature, mouing it selfe swiftly, and in many formes, without help of feet, and a crea∣ture which reneweth her age. The Phaenicians and Egyptians followed him here∣in, they calling it a happy Spirit or GOD; these, Eneth, and framed thereto the head of a Hawke: of which in his place we haue spoken. And thus far haue we beene in∣debted to Euseb.de praep. Euang.lt. I. In the time of those warres betwixt Saturne and Caelus was borne Hercules: to whom was a Temple of great Antiquitie at Tyre. To Hercules were also celebrated games at Tyrus, euery fiue yeares, to which Iason sent three hundred drammes for a sacrifice 2. Mac. 4. 19. Hiram in Solomons time pulled downe the old Temples of Hercules and Astarte, and built new. Hee first erected a statue to Hercules, and in the Temple of Iupiter consecrated a golden Pillar. Ioseph. antiq. lt. 8.

The Sydonians also worshipped Astarte in a stately and antient Temple to her builded: whom * 1.4 some interprete Luna, * 1.5 some Venus, and one of her Priests, to d 1.6 Luci∣an, Europa. It is more probable, that Astarte was Iuno: for she was worshipped of the Punickes (a Phaenician colony) by that name. Lucian saith, that hee sawe also at Biblos the Temple of Venus Byblia, wherein are celebrated the yeerely rites of Adonis, (who they say, was slaine in their Countrey) with beatings and wofull la∣mentings; after which they performe Obsequies vnto him, and the next day they affirme him to be aliue, and shaue their heads. And such women as will not be sha∣uen, must prostitute their bodies for one day vnto strangers, and the money hence accrewing, is sacred to Venus. Some affirme that this ridiculous lamentation is made, not for Adonis, but Osiris; in witnes whereof, a head made of paper once a yeere in seuen daies space commeth swimming from Egypt to Byblos, and that without any humane direction: Of which Lucian reporteth himselfe an eye-witnes. Heereby runneth the Riuer Adonis also, which once a yeere becommeth red and bloudie: which alteration of the colour of the water, is the warning to that their Mourning for Adonis, who at that time they say is wounded in Libanus: whereas that rednes ariseth indeede of the windes, which, at that time blowing violently, do with their force carrie downe alongst the streame a great quantity of that redde Earth or Mi∣nium of Libanus whereby it passeth. This constancie of the wind might yet seeme as meruailous as the other, if diuerse parts of the world did not yeelde vs instance of the like. In Libanus also was an auncient Temple dedicated to Venus by Cinyras.

Astarte or Astaroth was worshipped in the formes of sheepe, not of the Sydoni∣ans onely, but of the Philistims also. I. Sam. vlt. in whose Temple they hanged the armor of Saul. And wise Salomon was brought by doting on women to a worse do∣tage of Idolatrie e 1.7 with this Sydonian idoll among others. And not then first did the Israelites commit that fault, but from their first neighborhood with them, pre∣sently after the dayes of Ioshua. f 1.8 This Sidon, the ancient Metropolis of the Phoenici∣ans (now called Saito) in likelihood was built by Sidon, eldest sonne of Canaan, Gen. 10.15. and fell to the lot of Asher. Iof. 16. 28. whence it is called Great Sidon. It was famous g 1.9 for the first Glasse-shops, and destroyed by Ochus the Persian. This faire mother yeelded the world a daughter farre fairer; namely, Tyrus, now called Sur, (whose glory is sufficiently blazed by the Prophets Esuy, and Ezechiel) being situ∣ate in an Iland seuen hundred paces from the shore, to which Alexander in his siege vnited it; whome it held out eight moneths (as it had done Nabuchodonosor thir∣teen yeeres, which long siege is mentioned Ezec. 26. 7.) in nothing more famous, then for helping Salomon vnder Hiram their king, h 1.10 to build the Temple a hundred fifty fiue yeres before the building of Carthage. This Hiram ( i 1.11 Iosephus reports it out of Dius a Phoenician Historiographer) inlarged the Citie, and compassed within the same the temple of Iupiter Olimpius, & (as he addeth out of Menander Ephesius) there∣in placed a golden Pillar: he pulled downe the old temples and built new, and dedi∣cated the temples of Hercules and Astarte. Ithobalus, Astartes priest, slew Phelles the King, and vsurped the Crowne. He was great grandfather to Pygmalion the brother of Dido, Founder of Carthage.

The Phoenicians, famous for Marchandise and Marinership, sailed from the red sea round about Afrike, and returning by Hercules pillars, arriued againe in Egypt the third yeere after, reporting (that which Herodotus k 1.12 doubted of, and to vs makes the Storle more credible) that they sailed to the South-ward of the Sunne: They were sent by Pharao Neco. Cadmus a Phaenician was the first Author of Letters also to the Greekes. At Tyrus was the fishing for purple: not far off was Arad, a popu∣lous Towne, seated on a rocke in the sea, like Venice.

Alongst the shore is Ptolemais, neere which runneth the Riuer Belaeus, and nigh to it the Sepulchte of Memnon hauing hard by it, the space of a hundred cubits, l 1.13 yiel∣ding a glassie sand: and how great a quantitie so euer is by ships carried thence, is supplied by the Windes, which minister new sands to be by the nature of the place changed into glasse. That would seeme strange, if this were not yet stranger, that this new glasse if it be cast vpon the brinks of this place, receiueth the former nature of sand againe.

Belus and Hercules Tyrius and the Sunne, called of them Heliogabalus, were Phoe∣nician Deities. m 1.14 Eusebius also relateth other Phoenician abhominations, both bloudy and beastly: the one in yeerely sacrifice of the deerest pledges of Nature to Saturne: the other in that temple of Venus, built in the most secret retreit of Libanus, where Sodome (burned with fire from aboue, and drowned in a dead sea) seemed to reuiue: such was their practice of impure lusts, intemperately vsing the Naturall sex, & vnna∣turally abusing their owne: worse in this then the Sodomites, that these intended sensuality; they pretended Religion. Constantine rased these suburbs of Hell, & de∣stroyed both the customs, statues, and temple it selfe. n 1.15 Augustine saith, That the Phoe∣nicians prostituted their daughters to Venus, before they married them. Of Mel∣canthor, Vsor, and other their gods (sometimes men) I forbeare to speake. Alexan∣der o 1.16 ab Alexandro, affirmeth, That the priest of the Sunne in Phoenicia, was attired with a long sleeued garment, hanging downe to the feet, and a golden Crowne.

We may adde to these Phoenician superstitions, their mysticall interpretation by p 1.17 Macrobius. He expoundeth Venus and Adonis, to signifie the Earth and the Sunne. The wild Boare which wounded Adonis, is the Winter, which for the absence of her Louer maketh the Earth to put on her mourning weedes (at whose approch she af∣•••••• putteth on her new apparrell, saith q 1.18 our English Arcadian Oracle;) This was shado∣wed in a certaine Image in mount Libanus, pourtrayed in mourning habite. And to

this sense he applieth the Aegyptian rites of Osiris and Isis, and of Orus, which is A∣pollo or the Sunne, and likewise the Phrygian mysteries of Atinis, and the mother of the Gods. He saith that they abstained from swines flesh.

The Philistims and all that Sea-coast, by r 1.19 Strabo and Plinie, are reckoned to the Phoenicians. Their originall is attributed to Misraim; They had fiue principall Cities, Ascalon, Accaron, Azotus, Gath, Gaza. Of their sheepish Astarte yee heard euen now, and of their Legend of Dagon. Their superstitions the Scripture often s 1.20 mentioneth. What this Dagon was (saith t 1.21 Martyr) is not well knowne. But by the deriuation of his name (which signifieth a fish) it seemeth he was a Sea-god. For such Sea-deities had the Greekes and Latines, as Neptune, Leucothea, Triton: aboue his belly hee was of humane shape, beneath like a fish. Such is Idolatrie, diuine it will not be, it cannot content it selfe with humane, but proueth monstrous in the vg∣ly and deformed image, exhibiting the character of the true Author of this falshood. When Cicero u 1.22 saith, the Syrians worshipped a fish; it may be construed of this Da∣gon. Happily (saith Martyr x 1.23 ) they intended Neptune, or I know not what Deuill. y 1.24 y 1.25 Tremellius thinketh Triton. This may we see and say, when men are giuen ouer to themselues, then they become beasts, monsters, deuills: yea, worse then such, for while they worship such, they professe themselues as Clients and Votaries to bee worse and baser then their Deities. Drusius deriueth not this Dagon of Dag a fish; but of Dagan, which signifieth Wheate, whereof Eusebius saith, Dagon inuento fru∣mento & aratro vocatus est 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 & Philo Byblius, Dagon, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉: that is, is called Wheate or Bread-corne.

When the Philistims had placed the captiued Arke in Dagons Temple, hee fell on his face before the Arke: But they placing him againe in his roome, with a second fall, his head and hands were cut off vpon the threshold: The stump (or as Tremellius and Vatablus reade it) Dagon, or that part of him which resembled a fish, remained. And, therefore the Priests of DAGON, and all that come into DAGONS house, tread not on the threshold of DAGON. Thus true Religion, the more opposed, the more it flourished: the prison-house of her captiuity is the throne of her Empire: blinde su∣perstition, the more it is detected, the more enraged, addeth new deuotion, to in∣crease, not caring to amend the former.

Of Astaroth, we haue before shewed, why it is vsed in the plurall number, as z 1.26 Ribera affirmeth for her many Idols, as we say our Lady of Walsingham, our Lady of Loretto, &c. The word Astar signifieth a flocke of sheepe: and it is likely, this their Iuno was in the forme of a sheepe worshipped, as Iupiter Ammon in likenesse of a Ramme. Their Dagon, it seemeth (seeming wee haue, no true being nor being of truth, in Idols) was the same which Poets a 1.27 call Derceto or Dercetis, the mother of Semiramis, whose Image Lucian b 1.28 saith he saw in Phoenicia, not vnlike to that which is reported of the Mermaid, the vpper halfe like a woman, the other like a fish: (therefore of Plinie c 1.29 called Prodigiosa;) in reuerence of whom the Phoenicians were said to abstaine from fish. Authors doe also call this Idoll Atergatis: and d 1.30 Athenaeus reporteth, That the Country-lawe of the Syrians depriued them of fish: and that Gatis (a Syrian queene) prohibited the eating of fish Ater Gatis, that is, without Gatis, without her licence, and therefore was called Atergatis, as a forestaller of the fish to her owne delicate tooth. Mopsus, a Lydian, after drowned her in the lake of Ascalon, where this fish-deuourer was of fishes deuoured. They yet esteemed her a Goddesse, and offred vnto her fishes of gold & siluer: and the Priests all day long set before her true fishes rosted and sodden, which after themselues did eate; & it is not to be doubted but the mettall-mawes of those Ostriges could also digest the other.

Diod. Siculus e 1.31 telleth, That hard by a lake, full of fish, neere vnto Ascalon was a Temple dedicated to this fish-woman: her Story followeth, That shee yeelding to the lust of a yong man, had by that copulation Semiramis, whome (now too late re∣penting of her folly, she exposed on the rockes, where she was nourished by birds: of which birds (called in their language Semiramis) shee receiued that name. The Sheepheards after espying this hospitalitie of the birds, found the childe, and presen∣ted

her to Simma the Kings sheepheard, who brought her vp as his owne daughter. The mother(not able to swallow her shame and griefe) cast her selfe into the lake to be swallowed of the water, but there by a new Metamorphosis, was turned into a fish, and hallowed for a Goddesse; and (for company) the fishes of that lake, and the Birds of that Rocke were canonized also in this deifying deuotion.

In Ascalon was a Temple of Apollo: and Herod father of Antipater, f 1.32 grandfather to Herod the Great, hence called Ascalonita, was seruant to Apollo's Priest. At Ac∣caron was worshipped Baalzebub, that is, the Lord of Flies, g 1.33 either of contempt of his idolatry, so called; or rather of the multitude of Flies, which attended the mul∣titude of his sacrifices; or for that he was their Larder-god (as the Roman Hercules) to driue away slies: or for that h 1.34 forme of a Flie, in which he was worshipped, as Na∣zianzeno against Iulian reporteth. He was called Sminibius or Myiothes: and was their Aeseulapius or Physicke-god, as appeareth by Ahaziab i 1.35 who sent to consult with him in his sickenesse. And perhappes for this cause the blaspheming Phari∣ses, rather applied the name of this then any other idoll to our blessed Sauior, k 1.36 whom they sawe indeede to performe miraculous cures, which superstition had conceiued of Baalzebub, and if any thing were done by that idoll, it could by no other cause be effected, but by the Deuill, as tending (like the popish miracles) to the confir∣mation of idolatry.

What the deuil had at Beelzebubs Shrine to this end performed, blinded with rage and malice, they imputed to the miracles of CHRIST, which, in regard of the Ef∣ficient, were more excellent then could bee Satans impostures, as countermaun∣ding him and all his proiects: for the matter, were meerely supernaturall; in the Forme were acted by his will, signified by his naked word: and for the end (which is l 1.37 the only touch-stone for vs to trie all miracles) were to seale no other truth then was contained (for substance) in the Lawe and the Prophets, whith hee came not to de∣stroy, but to fulfill. If an Angell from heauen, yea with heauenly miracles, (if it were possible) should preach vnto vs otherwise, Paul biddeth vs to holde him accursed: and cursed be that deuill of Hell, that vnder colour of miracles (one of Antichrists ensignes, 2. Thess. 2.9.) hath taught the World to worship the m 1.38 Lipsian n 1.39 Lauretan, and I know not what other Ladies: not that Virgin, on Earth holy, in Heauen glo∣rious; but their idol-conceits, and idol-blockes of her. Our Lord hath taught vs plainely in Mathew, chapter 4. verse 10. to serue God onely, without sophisticall di∣stinctions.

As for these Heathenish & Popish, and all those other packets of miracles, which we receiue by the Iesuites annuall relations from the East and West Indies; I esteem them with Doctor Hall (a hall of Elegance, all-Elegance) Dec. I. epi. 6. That they are either falsely reported, or falsely done, or falsely miraculous, or falsely ascribed to Hea∣uen. But I know not how (pardon it Reader) I am transported to Hale, Zichem and Loretto, from our Phoenician ports. The name of Beelzebub hath beene occasion of this parenthesis. But the power of Beelzebub (I feare) hath induced Bellarmine, to fall downe, and thus to worship, him, for his purple aduauncement. For amongst the Notes of the Church, he hath reckoned for one, this of miracles: Maiusipse mira∣culum, a greater miracle hee, that now will not beleeue without miracles that go∣spel, which at first was thereby sufficiently proued. We reade that the o 1.40 Iewes seeke for signes, and are therefore called, an euill and adulterons generation; and not only * 1.41 false Christs and false Prophets, and Antichrist himselfe, but the heathens had their Legends of miracles: as the whole course of our History will shew. Goe now and reckon a Catalogue of miracles through all Ages, euen to the time of blessed Ignatius and his Societie: and aske of vs miracles for proofe of our doctrine. Our doctrine hath alrea∣dy by the Apostles and Prophets (Pen-men of holy Scriptures) beene proued that way; and we leaue to you the stile of Mirabiliarij Miracle-mongers, which August. Tractat. in Io. 13. for like bragges of things miraculous-ly wrought by them, giueth the Donatists. With vs, Miracles must be proued by the Truth and the Church, and not they by miracles. But let vs come backe to Phoenicia.

The Phoenicians are accounted first authors of Arithmeticke and Astronomie; as also of the Art of Nauigation (Primaratem ventis credere docta Tyrus, saith Tibullus) and obserued the North-starre to that Sea-skill. The Sidonians are reputed first au∣thors of Weights and Measures. q 1.42 Herodotus affirmeth, That the Phoenicians, which came with Cadmus into Greece, taught the Graecians both other Sciences, and also Letters, which before that time they knew not. These letters after changed their sound and forme, being by the Ionikes principally learned, who called them Phoeni∣cian, and called their Skinnes or Parchments biblos (haply of Byblos in Phoenicia.) He saw the Cadmean letters engrauen in a Temple at Thebes, much like the Ionike let∣ters. r 1.43 Scaliger hath giuen vs a view of the one and the other, the auncient Ionike, then the onely Greeke letters, out of certaine old inscriptions, much resembling the present Latine letters; and the auncienter Phoenician (I may say with him, the aunci∣entest) vsed by the Canaanites and Hebrewes of old, and by the Samaritanes at this day: For those which the Iewes now vse, he affirmeth to be new, corrupted from the Syrian, and these from the Samaritan. His learned discourse thereof were worthie the reading, but here would be too prolixe.

Of the Phoenician Kings here might be inserted a large Historie; but I feare tedi∣ousnesse. Their Catalogue is thus in Scaligers s 1.44 Canons; first Abibalus, two yeares; Hirom, the sonne of Abibalus, 38. yeares; Baleazaros, 7; Abdestartus, 9; the Nurces sonne, 12; Astartus Dalaeastri F. 12; Aserymus, 9; Pheles, 8. moneths; Ithobaal, the Priest of Astarte, 32. yeares; Bad••zorus, 6; Margenus, 9; Pygmalion, 47. In his time Dido fled into Lybia. A long time after this raigned another Ithobalus 19. yeares; Baal, 10; and then Iudges ruled: Ecnibalus, 2. moneths; Helbes, 10. moneths; Abba∣rus the high Priest, 11. moneths; Balator, 1. yeare; Mytgonus and Gerestratus, 6; Mer∣bal (sent from Babylon) 4; Hirom his brother, 20. Thus much out of the Phoenician Antiquities: the rest of their Historie is for substance, the same with the Syrian before handled.

Ioppe t 1.45 (sayth Mela and Plinie) was built before the Floud; and Cepheus raigned there, witnesse certaine auncient Altars, there obserued religiously, and bearing titles of him and his brother Phineus. They shew monstrous bones, the Reliques of the Whale, from which Perseus freed Andromeda. Mount Casius had in it the Temple of Iupiter Casius, and Pompeyes Tombe.
