They say by that sign they know their ilness proceeds from the power of that God last named; but I think this happens by the power of the Hands that hold it.

The God being thus found, to him chiefly they offer their oblations and sacrifices.
[The Gods of their fortunes.] There are nine Deities, which they call Gerehah, which are the Planets (reckoning in probably the Dragons head and Tail.) From whom proceed their Fortunes.

These they reckon so powerful, that if they be ill affected towards any party, neither God nor Devil can revoke it.
[What worship they give the Planets.] When they are disposed to worship these Gerehah, they make Images of Clay according to the number that stand disaffected, towards them, which by certain Magick Tricks they know these Images, which are made by the Weavers, they paint of divers colours, of horrible and monstrous shapes; some with long tusks like a Boar, some with hornes like a Bull, all in a most deformed manner, but something resembling the shape of a man.

Before them they prostrate Victuals, the sick party sitting all the while before them.

These ceremonies are always celebrated in the night with Drums and Pipes and dancing until almost day, and then they take these Images and cast them out into the high ways to be trampled under foot: and the Victuals taken away and eaten by the attendants, and despicable people that wait there on purpose.
[What worship they give Devils.] When they worship those whom they call Devils, many of whom they hold to be the Spirits of some that died heretofore, they make no Images for them, as they did for the Planets; but only build a new house in their yard, like a Barn very slight, covered only with leaves, and adorn it with Branches and Flowers.
