The third Tract consisteth of their being distinguished into Casts and Tribes, with peculiar observations for each. The _Brammanes_ being first, have their name either of _Brammon_, who was the first of that Tribe; or else from _Breman_, who was the first of the second Age, to whom the Law was delivered, of which there are two sorts, the common, and the more special; the common _Brammane_ hath eighty two Casts or Tribes; which are distinguished by the names of the places of their first habitations. These discharge the Ministerial function, in praying and reading their Law to the People, in which they use a kind of minical fantastical gesture, and a singing tone. They are first received into that Order at seven years of age, using the ceremony of washing and shaving their heads, only leaving one lock; they are bound to a Pythagorean silence, and prohibited haulking, spitting, or coughing, wearing about their loyns a girdle of an Antilop’s skin, and another thong of the same about their neck, descending under the left arm: At fourteen years of age they are admitted to be _Brammanes_, exchanging those leather thongs for four sealing threads that come over the right shoulder, and under the right arm, which they sleep withal, in honour of God and the three persons; they are enjoyned to keep all things in the _Brammanes_ Law. The more special sort of _Brammanes_ are of the Cast of the _Shudderys_ or _Merchant-man_, who for devotion take this condition; He wears a wollen garment of white, reaching down to the middle of the thigh, the rest is naked: his head is alwayes uncovered; they do not shave, but pluck off all the hair from their heads and beards, leaving only one lock. There are several Casts of these, that live more strictly than the rest; for these never Marry, are very moderate in their Diet, and drink nothing but water boyled, that so the vapour, which they suppose to be life, may go out; they sweep away and disperse their dung, lest it should generate worms that may have life, and be destroyed, they keep an Hospital of lame and maimed flying fowl, which they redeem with a price; they have all things common, but place no faith in outward washings, but rather imbrace a careless and sordid nastiness. The second Tribe or Cast was _Cutteryes_, who had their name from _Cuttery_, the second son of _Ponrous_, who having Dominion and Rule committed to him; therefore all Souldiers and Kings are said to be of his Tribe.
