The Bannyans.

I Believe that a God of Immense Power Eter∣nal and Provident, in the beginning Created the whole World; that he made the first Man (by Name Pourous) and for his Society Created the first Woman (Parconty) both so innocent, that they would not cut any thing that had a Sensitive Life, but fed upon Herbs and Fruits; that from them sprung two couple of Boys, Bramon, Cuttery, Shud∣dery and Wise; the first a Priest, the second a Warrior, the third a Merchant, the forth a Peasant, which Peopled the four Parts of the World; but upon their Impiety, the World was Destroyed by a Deluge: That afterwards, upon Mount Mero∣purbatea, God gave the Shaster to Bremaw in Clouds, and Lightning for a rule of Living.
