Now if besides this occasional mistake, any man shall contend a propriety in this picture, and that no injury is done unto Truth by this description, because an horn is the Hieroglyphick of authority, power and dignity, and in this Metaphor is often used in Scripture; the piece I confess in this acception is harmless and agreeable unto _Moses_: and under such emblematical constructions, we find that _Alexander_ the Great, and _Attila_ King of _Hunnes_, in ancient Medals are described with horns. But if from the common mistake, or any solary consideration we persist in this description, we vilify the mystery of the irradiation, and authorize a dangerous piece conformable unto that of _Jupiter Hammon_; which was the Sun, and therefore described with horns; as is delivered by _Macrobius; Hammonem quem Deum solem occidentem Lybies existimant, arietinis cornibus fingunt, quibus id animal valet, sicut radiis sol_. We herein also imitate the Picture of _Pan_, and _Pagan_ emblem of Nature. And if (as _Macrobius_ and very good Authors concede) _Bacchus_, (who is also described with horns) be the same Deity with the Sun; and if (as _Vossius_ well contendeth) [SN: Moses _and_ Bacchus _supposed to be the same person_, De origine Idolatriæ.] _Moses_ and _Bacchus_ were the same person; their descriptions must be relative, or the Tauricornous picture of the one, perhaps the same with the other. CHAPTER X Of the Scutcheons of the Tribes of Israel. We will not pass over the Scutcheons of the Tribes of _Israel_, as they are usually described in the Maps of _Canaan_ and several other pieces; generally conceived to be the proper coats, and distinctive badges of their several Tribes. So _Reuben_ is conceived to bear three Bars wave, _Judah_ a Lyon Rampant, _Dan_ a Serpent nowed, _Simeon_ a sword inpale the point erected, etc. The ground whereof is the last Benediction of _Jacob_[SN: Gen. 49.], wherein he respectively draweth comparisons from things here represented. Now herein although we allow a considerable measure of truth, yet whether as they are usually described, these were the proper cognizances, and coat-arms of the Tribes; whether in this manner applyed, and upon the grounds presumed, material doubts remain.
