Hillarius. But which is worse, so play the Panim with the Paynims, of whom their manner of doings approacheth nearer then of the ancient Jewish laws. For as Plutarch witnesseth, in Athens & Delphos, where the Greeks 1in like manner do keep a perpetual fire, if peradventure it were put or went out, they must kindle a new and very orange, taken from the Sun. In like manner also hath 2Macrobius written, that the first day of March, the Romans kindled a new fire upon the altar of the Goddess Vesta, the which fire must be kept by the Mestales, the nuns of Vesta always burning in her Temple, like unto ours at this day. Whereunto agreeth in like manner the witness of Ovid, saying. Men say that when the holy fire in temple ceased to burn. It was the use from time to time with new to serve the turn. And if it happen that through their negligence it be put out, they shall be grievously punished.
