ILITHYIA,

A Divinity called up∣on by Women in labour; we learn of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 that this Goddess was Diana.

Tauc cùm matura vecabis Praepositam timidis parientibus Ilithyiam.

The word Ilythyia comes from the Hebre•••• not from the Greek 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, as if this God∣dess came to help. Dionysius Halicarnass•••• speaks thus of her: Ilithyiam Romani Voc•••• Junoners luciferam; but Orpheus in his Hym•••• Diana Ilythyia, & casta eadem Prothuraea: 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Plutarch says plainly, that this Goddess is the Moon, Unde censeo etiam Dianam Lochiam 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Partns praesidem & Ilithyiam, ut quae non alia 〈◊〉〈◊〉 à Lunâ, esse nominatam.
