In the moneth of May, there was holden a feast in the night time, which at the beginning they called _Remuria_, and afterwardes _Lemuria_. This did not differ much from the feaste called _Feralia_, whiche was instituted to pacifie soules. Touching the originall of them, and the rytes belonging therto, looke =Ouid= in his _Lib._5. _Fastorum_. One who tooke on him to pacifie the soules, arose in the night verie late, he went barefooted, and washed himselfe ouer with fresh springing water, and then taking beanes whiche he had rolled in his mouth, he threw them behinde his backe, and said, that with them he did redéeme himselfe, and after beating on a péece of brasse, he prayed the soules to depart from thence: which thing if they had done nine times, they thought they had ended their holy seruice. These were celebrated by the space of thrée dayes. The sacrifices which are done for the infernall gods, are called _Inferiæ_. We reade in =Lucan=, of the soules of =Sylla= and =Marius=, which were purged by sacrifice. We shewed before how =Athanagoras= commanded the bones which were digged vp in the entrie of his house at _Athens_, to bee orderly buried againe. &c. [Sidenote: Touching the Iewes behauiour.] The auncient Iewes had an expresse commandement of God, not to bee any thing moued with the miracles of false Prophets, and God in plaine words forbad them, not to séeke counsel of dead bodies. =Saule= in the beginning of his raigne, while he yet gaue himselfe vnto godlinesse, vtterly destroyed all Coniurers and Witches. I doo not remember that I haue euer heard or read, how the Iewes behaued themselues when any spirits appeared vnto them: yet I doubt not but that they are superstitious as well in these things, as in all others. CHAP. V. How Christian men ought to behaue themselues when they see Spirites, and first that they ought to haue a good courage, and to be stedfast in faith. Howe Christian menne oughte to behaue themselues in this behalfe, it is fully and amply declared in the holie Scriptures, in like manner as all other things are, whiche appertaine vnto our saluation. To wit, that first we ought to be of good courage without feare, being assured and constante in true faith.
