Indeed I have wonder’d sometimes why, since by this Sorcery the Devil perform’d such Wonders, that is, play’d so many Tricks in the World, and had such universal Success, he should set up no more of them; but there might be a great many Reasons given for that, too long to tire you with at present: ’Tis true, there were not many of them, and yet considering what a great deal of Business they dispatch’d, it was enough, for six or eight Oracles were more than sufficient to amuse all the World: The chief Oracles we meet with in History are among the Greeks and the Romans, viz.
That of Jupiter Ammon, in Lybia, as above.
The Dordonian, in Epirus.
Apollo Delphicus, in the Country of Phocis in Greece.
Apollo Clavius, in Asia Minor.
Serapis, in Alexandria in Egypt.
Trophomis, in Bæotia.
Sybilla Cumæa, in Italy.
Diana, at Ephesus.
Apollo Daphneus, at Antioch.
