Nay, they had even the same superstition in the administration of it which some Christians had of baptism, to defer it to the approach of death ; so the honest farmer Trygseus, in the Pax of Aristophanes; " I must be initiated before I die. " The occasion of this solicitude, is told us by the scholiast on the 108 A DISSERTATION ON RanaE, of the sr. Me poet. " The Athenians believed, that he who was initiated, and instructed in the mysteries, would obtain divine honors after death; and therefore... all ran to be initiated. Their fondness for it became so great, that at such times as the public treasury was low, the magistrate would have recourse to the mysleries, as a fund to sup- ply the exigences of the state. " Aristogiton, says the commentator on Hermogenes, in a great scarcity of public money, procured a law, that in Athens, every one should pay a certain sum for his initiation. " Every thing in these rights was mysteriously conducted and under the most solemn obligations to secrecy* Which, how it could agree to our representation of the mysteries, as an institution for- the use of the people, we shall now endeavor to show.
