Pythagoras first taught the Doctrine of гЂ€ in non-Latin alphabet гЂ‰, or Transmigration of Souls into other Bodies, when speaking of himself, he said, He was at first Euphorbus, (who being slain in the Trojan War) he was then Hormotimus, next Pyrrhus a Fisherman, and now last of all Pythaв€Јgoras the Philosopher. who calls him the first Author of the Name of Philosophy.

Afterwards returning back again into his own Countrey, he continued not long there, (by reason of the Tyrannical Government of Polycrates) but departed from thence into Italy, where he set up School and was from thence call'd, Italicae Philosophiae Princeps. mos to Babylon, he there set up for the study of Astroloв€Јgy where it is reported, that he had no less than 600 Auditors fled unto him in one night: Among which were the famous Archytas Tarentinus, Alcmaeon Crotoniata, Hipв€Јpasus Metapontinus, and Philolaus Crotoniata.Pythagoras by Birth a Saв€Јmian, and Son to Mnesarchus the Jeweller, was a great Hearer of Pherecydes the Syrian, till removing from S Plato also travelling into Aegypt, and intermixв€Јing many Doctrines of their Priests and Prophets in his Writings, or like some cuв€Јrious Painter laying Colours on a rude Draught, did never yet incur the least suspiв€Јcion of Magick, although for his singular Wisdom he was not a little envy'd.

Such a misrepresentation had they of so great a Man! whereas Empedocles, Pythagoras, and Democritus, notwithanding their frequent Converse among the Magicians, were never censured for that Art. For Apollonius, who exercised things near of kind to these, and yet came nearer to divine Wisdom than Pythagoras himself, is not yet known among men, by that true Wisdom which he followed solidly and like a Philosopher, though he lived neiв€Јther very long ago, nor yet very lately: But of him one commendeth this, another that.ДЄlso there are some, who because he conversed with the Magicians of Babylon, the Brachmans of India, and the Gymnosophists of Aegypt, account him likewise a Magician: and slander him for obtaining his Wisdom by indirect means. And many other things do Historians report concerning the Followers of that Philosoв€Јpher's Manners which I must here omit, in that I hasten to my intended Discourse. It is likewise reported, that Empedocles the Agrigentine was addicted to the same kind of Philosophy, as is evident from this passage in his Poems:ДЄlso the Ox, which he (having made Wafers) is reported to have sacrificed in Olympia, was a Testimony of one that esteem'd the Doctrine of Pythagoras. They also observ'd Silence concernв€Јing Things divine for that they heard many sacred Mysteries, which were hard to understand, for those that had not first learn'd that to be silent is a kind of Reasoning. And that whatsoever he deliver'd was by his Disciples not only observ'd as a Law, but also be himself was revered as coming from Jupiter. Other men treated of divine Matters only by conjecture, (most of them contraв€Јdicting one another) yet that Apollo had appear'd to him, and told him plainly he was Apollo: As also Pallas and the Muses, (not declaring who they were) together with other Gods, whose Shapes and Names were yet unknown to men. From hence he likewise gave out, that he had learned those Prinв€Јciples which he used to deliver concerning the Nature of Things and that whereas For having been conв€Јversant with the Gods, he had there learnt what things were pleasing, and what disв€Јpleasing to them.

Furthermore they report, that he refus'd to wear any Garment made with the skin of that Creature which died of any Diв€Јsease also that he abstain'd from eating living Creatures, being of opinion, that no such thing ought ever to be sacrificed, nor that the Altars of the Gods should be defiled with blood but rather that Wafers made with Honey, Frankincense, and singing of Hymns should be rendred up unto them: For such were the only Sacrifices that he himself did offer unto the Gods asserting, that he had ever found them to be far better pleas'd with those kind of ofв€Јferings, than in any Hecatomb, or Knife with a Basket.

THey who commend Pythagoras the Samian, do generally relate that he was not at first an Ionian, but Euphorbus the Trojan, and dying (as Homer writeth) did afterwards revive again. Concerning the Rites and Silence of Pythagoras also of Empedocles the Agrigentine.
