The like intendment of Sacrifices with the same rite, and like imprecation to confirm Leagues and Covenants, & end feuds, was in use among the Heathen, as might be evidenced by many Quotations, which I have met withal. To instance in one out of Livy which is most punctual ⟨p. 33⟩to the thing in hand, and parallel to the former out of Jeremiah. They cut a beast in two, ¹The midst and the head with the bowels were placed at the right hand of the way: and the hinder parts on the left hand, and both the Armies (that made the league,) passed between this divided Sacrifice. And as the same rites with the former are expressed in this, so the same imprecation is recorded at the making of this Covenant, and by Sacrifice confirmed, recorded by the same Author, when these two Nations, Albans and Romans, made this league: Si prius defexit, ²Tu illum Jupiter sic ferito, ut ego hunc porcum hodie feriam: Let God strike him that breaks it, as I strike this Swine, said the Sacrificer.
