〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉,

A Sacrifice offer'd by the Husbandmen after Harvest 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, i. e. in Gratitude to the Gods, by whose Blessing

they enjoy'd the Fruits of the Ground. The whole Festival was call'd 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, of which in another place; as also 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, i. e. from the Gathering of Fruits. Some will have it to be observ'd in honour of Ceres, and Bacchus (a) 1.1, those being the two Deities, who had a peculiar Care of the Fruits of the Earth. But Eustathius (b) 1.2 telleth us, that there was also a Solemn Procession at this Time in honour of Neptune; and addeth farther, that all the Gods had a share in the Offerings at this Festival; as appears also from Homer's own Words, who tells us, that Diana's Anger against Oeneus was caus'd by his neglect of Sacrificing to her at this Festival, wherein all the rest of the Gods had been feasted by him;

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

Diana, much incens'd, that Oeneus had To all the other Gods Oblations made, And not to Her his grateful First-fruits pay'd, Sent down this Evil to revenge his Crime.

Mr. Hutchin.

Hence comes 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, sometimes call'd 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 (c) 1.3, which was the first Bread made of the New Corn. Some there are, that will have 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 to be a general Name for all the Festivals, wherein they carry'd 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, i. e. green Boughs.
