The old Latin hath it: Sacrifice men, in the Imperative: 1so the Greek. In zeal to their Idols they sacrificed men. [According to which reading the sense would be] Those are worthy to kiss the Calves that sacrifice men. This was forbidden, Levit. 18. 21. and Chap. 20. 2. But it was done in a perverse imitation of Abraham, who would have offered up Isaac. It prevailed much among the Heathen. The King of MOAB as we read in 2 King. 3. 27. sacrificed his eldest Son, that should have reigned in his stead. Tertullian says 2(Apolog. Cap. 9.) That it continued till the time of Tiberius. Lactantius hath a story of the Carthaginians, who 3being vanquished by Agathocles King of Sicily, they thought the gods to be displeased with them, and that they might appease them, they sacrificed two hundred of the Noblemen's sons.
