But thepeo y are now ascertained by good witnesses, as a manifest though corrupt succession of the high priesthood in ancient Israel. Bartram says, those, with inferior priests and prophets, have been maintained in most if not all the tribes. The Indian high priest makes his yearly atonement for sin. Heappears at their tem ple, (such as it is) arraved in his white deer skin gar ments, seeming to answer to the ancient ephod. Entering on his duty, the waiter spreads a white seat wit h skin, close by the holiest apartma white dressed buck. ent of their temple; and puts on his white beads off ered by the people. A variety of curious things are described in this dress, by Mr. Adair, as pretty evidently designed imitations of the parts of ancient pontifica l dress. This dress is left in the holy place of thei r temple, till the high priest comes to officiate again. His breast-plate is made ofa white conch shell, through which two straps of otter skin pass in two perforations ; while white buttons of buck’s horn are superadded, as though in dance, eo to an their sinful bodies, as eal Oi : the death of Abel. by alluding one alluding in: to as Weill lias4S ONC! of Cain; oO! =: AND _ cs "Lbese aut = meh Hic the ancient plate of gold, and the Archi-magus has for the anci his tuft of white feathers. holy fire he obtains by rub bin g two sti cks together ; and his golden bells and pom egr ana tes are formed of the dried spurs of wild turkies, strung so as to on his fine mocasins. rattle | Mr. Adair assures us, whe . n the Indian Archi-ma (high priest) is addressin gus g his pe : ople, and enforcin “the divine speech, ” g ,and holy people,” ac that he calls them « the beloved cording to the lang ua ne ancient Israel, ge Co He urges them « to imit ncern. \ Virtuous ance ate their. stors,” and “ flourish es upon their beloy\ed land ; flowing with milk Mr. Adair describes th and honey.” e Indian feasts, and em as bearing d speaks of very near rese mblance of the Stated He gi ve s accounts that t e lndians are ab when out fo engage in Casig iN ancient Israel.
