Chapter X , § I.—Of Loango.
[ Offerings. ]
... Andrew Battell lived among them [the Bramas of Loango]230 for two years and a half. They are, saith he, heathens, and observe many superstitions. They have their Mokissos or images [nkishi] to which they offer in proportion to their sorts and suits;231 the fisher offereth fish when he sueth for his help in his fishing; the countryman, wheat; the weaver, Alibungos,232 [that is] pieces of cloth; others bring bottles of wine; all wanting that they would have, and bringing what they want, furnishing their Mokisso with those things whereof they complain themselves to be disfurnished.
