Sometimes they had other significations as where a serpent was put for a liquor they are put for liquors or fluid substances & a serpent biting its tail \either/ for the world & for\sometimes (Horus 2)/ the year. The Dragons on the Roman standards \signified hostile force & astonishing terrour/ & the serpents on the breast |&| Sheild \& breast/ of Pallas signified only\only/ h{illeg}|o|stile force & \astonishing/ terror, & the like signification serpents may have on the Gyants leggs & need not a reflecting signification unless any man be minded to reflect make a reflexion \For with these serpents Typho laid hold of Jupiter./.
