Hierom upon the place hath this Note,1 he saith that the Romans in disgrace of the French used to separate Priests of that Nation for that Idol and to make them Eunuchs, from whence all such Priests to that Idol that they had (which was the like to that of Baal-Peor the Jews had) they used to call Gallos, French-men to put an ignominy upon that Nation for some especial revenge they had to them, and they would have them to serve that Idol being first made Eunuchs.
