Summary

Jacques Gaffarel Unheard-of Curiosities — Chapter Ⅰ… (1650)

The Jewes falsly accused of burning their Children to the Idol Moloc. Whence the custome of leaping over the fire of Saint John, hath been derived. They that publish to the world any new, and Unheard-of Doctrine, that they may give it the greater Authority, and make it passe with the more credit, shew first of all the Integrity of the Man, that was the first Inventor of it : that so, the good opinion that is conceived of the Author, may take away all suspicion, or jealousie, from the things that shall be delivered.
