[e] At this Day it is customary for Servants to wear the Livery of their Masters, and others to bear Badges of their Order, Profession, Servility, &c. So in former Ages, and divers Countries, it was usual to bear Badges, Marks and Signs on divers Occasions. In Ezek. ix. 4. A Mark was to be set on the Forehead of those that lamented the Abominations of the City. The like was to be done upon them in Rev. vii. 3. and ix. 4. So the Worshippers of the Beast, Rev. xiii. 16. were to receive a χάραγμα, A Mark in their right Hind, on their Foreheads. Those χαράγματα, Σφραγίδες, Badges, &c. were very common. Soldiers and Slaves bare them in their Arms or Foreheads; such as were matriculated in the Heteriæ, or Companies, bare the Badge or Mark of their Company; and whoever listed himself into the Society of any of the several Gods, received a χάραγμα, or a Mark in his Body, (commonly made with red-hot Needles, or some burning in the Flesh,) of the God he had listed himself under. And after Christianity was planted, the Christians had also their Sign of the Cross. And not only Marks in their Flesh, Badges on their Cloaths, &c. were usual; but also the Dedication of Days to their imaginary Deities. Not to speak of their Festivals, &c. the Days of the Week were all dedicated to some of their Deities. Among the Romans, Sunday and Monday, to the Sun and Moon; Tuesday to Mars, Wednesday to Mercury, &c. So our Saxon Ancestors did the same; Sunday and Monday, (as the Romans did,) to the Sun and Moon; Tuesday to Tuysco; Wednesday to Woden; Thursday to Thor; Friday to Friga; and Saturday to Seater: An Account of which Deities, with the Figures under which they were worshipp’d, may be met with in our learned Verstegan, Chap. 3. p. 68.
