These had been instructed in another and new way of making delights for Mahomed, or of introducing enjoyments, which he said he wanted to have transmitted to me: but it was not permitted. But he said that he had obtained permission to transmit spirits that he might show their docility and obedience. These were then instructed that they should adore God Messiah alone, and indeed both the small and the great, for to everyone leave is given to adore God Messiah Who governs the universe.

They have been taught to induce a kind of bath from head to foot, with delight.
