Then without the door, thrice to the South, every one bowing his knee in honour of the Fire; then the like to the East, in honour of the Air; then to the West, in honour of the Water; and lastly to the North, in behalf of the dead. After the Servant hath done this duty to the four quarters of the World, he returns into the House, where his Fellows stand waiting, ready with two Cups, and two Basons, to give their Master, and his Wife that lay with him that Night, to wash and drink, who must keep him company all the day following, and all his other Wives come thither to drink, where he keeps his House that day; and all the Gifts presented him till night, are laid up in her Chests; and at the door a Bench full of Cups, and drink for any of them to make merry. * * * * * {MN-1} _The description of the_ Crim-Tartar's _Court._ {MN-2} _His Houses and Carts._ {MN-3} _Baskets._ {MN-4} _Their Idolatry in their Lodgings._ {MN-5} _Cosmos is Mares Milk._ * * * * * CHAP.
