(s) Children at Sparta are so disciplin'd at the Altar.] On a certain day of the year, Children were scourg'd at the Temple of Diana Orthia, whose Image was conveyed away from the Taurick Chers••nese, by Orestes and Iphigenia, and there plac'd. In this Exercise, he who held out longest was called Victor at the Altar, and some were beaten even to death. Thus did that Idol still delight in humane blood; what Cicero saith he heard when he was at Sparta, of some Boys there whip'd to death, that Plutarch, an Age after, confirms that he had seen; so much is the World engag'd to that Religion, which hath freed it from those inhumane Superstitions.
