Which they do as frequently offer to the Devil, as Papists do Wax-Candles to Saints.

This Offering they carry out into a remote place in the Woods, and prostrate it to the honour and service of the Grand Devil, before which there are men in an horrible disguise like Devils, with Bells about their Legs and Doublets of a strange fashion, dancing and singing, to call, it it were possible, the Devil himself to come and eat of the Sacrifices they have brought; the sick Party is all the while present.
[Their Festivals.] I have hitherto spoke of their ordinary and daily Worship, and their private and occasional Devotions; besides these they have their solemn and annual Festivals.

Now of these there are two sorts, some belonging to their Gods that govern the Earth, and all things referring to this life; and some belonging to the Buddou whose Province is to take care of the Soul and future well-being of Men.
[Festivals to the honour of the Gods that govern this World.] I shall first mention the Festivals of the former sort.

They are two or three.

That they may therefore honour these Gods, and procure their aid and assistance, they do yearly in the Month of [The great Festival in June.] June or July, at a New Moon, observe a solemn Feast and general Meeting, called Perahar; but none are compelled, and some go to one Pagoda, and some to another.
