in the adorning of their Churches and say that the Nation is so much given to their saying No ti sidare as that they are in Church policy bound to have those old representations exposed to the publike view for that the Italians are promot to reply to the best Orators Non ti sidare they say words are but copies and shadows of those Originall objects Printing was but in practise since later Ages old Manuscripts to be but for the I earned in the Hebrew Greek Syriack and Caldean tongues Images and pictures to be the Books of the most Ignorant and the quality of Quakers not known among them The more licentious Writers mentioned in the Epistle to the Reader will tell you that Srrangers must not expect from the Roman Prelats the Hospitality of Old England Cardinals to have Porta d' intrata e non d'●scita the Neopolitan to be Largo di b ca e streeto de mano But I must not omit to note that as for Ceremonies and Civilities there are none so formall and neat as those of the Romans who would teach any other Nation their good behaviour and especially English men on the High way when the King happens to pas for it would be taken as a monstrous disrespect for men to remain in their Coach or on Horseback at the Kings coming neer but answerable to duty to go forth the Coach light from the Horse and bow to him who is the head of a Nation As for Cavalier-like Civilities the Gallantry of the Napolitans deserves the visiting them as also the Antiquities of Puteoli where the Apostle St Paul was where the Inhabitants profer his Medall to Travellers There is to be observed in the first place Mont Cenere a Hill of Ashes which did rise in the space of 48 howers Secondly la Solfatera as the Cave out of which Mount Cenere did rise whereof the perpetuall noyse proceeding from the Sulphureous exhalations is heard many miles from that place as the discharge of Chambres on the Kings Coronation day in that Solfatara a world of Sulphur is made Then see la Crota del Canic the Grotto of dogs wherein is such an infectious exhalation as kills a Dog outright if thrust therein but if immediatly after he seems to be sta●k dead blew and black thrown into the Lake which is neer comes to himselfe againe thence see la Pessina admirabile which is a most vast building under ground as big as half Pauls Church and was to keep water for the military Cohortes thence see le Cente Camere la Sepulture de lei Nobili Romani the receptacle of the Noble Romans ashes being a room the walls whereof within set with ancient Urnes wherein the Ashes were put thence go io la Grota Leone and to the Elyzian fields the Baths of Cicero his Villa the ruins of the stone Bridge built by Caligula who riding over the same to crosse the bay vaunted to have Triumpht over Neptune and brav'd that God whereon may be said that Religion makes not a man more honest Then see Grotto of the Sibilla Cumana wherin as yet her resting place is seen with a gilded arched vault in Mosaick work Then returne to Naples see Gaieta and on its Gate the Tombe of Bourbon who did scale Rome read the inscription and you shall find Francia mi da la Vita Spania la Forca é la Ventura Roma la Morte Gaieta la Sepultura France gave me life Spaine force and adventure Rome my death Gaieta a Sepulcher And being satisfied of those parts returning by Loretta see a Chappell more considerable to the Romans then the Stable wherein the Saviour of the World was Borne since this was never said to have been built but by some Mason or Carpenter that by the hands of Angels who are said to have brought it where it stands garnisht within not with Hay and Cobwebbs as many Stables in ordinary Innes are but with unestimable treasures Pasquin excuseth this to Morphorius that it is a custome for Women to part from their Children in a mock but when they appear with the Baby as in Holland in the pranking room then all is glistering trickt up and fine And let my Princely Traveller but remember passing the Gulfe of Leon and at his arrivall into Spaine to speak in termes of respect of la Madona de Loretta he will be said to be a muy buon Catholico Romano and not be questioned by the Dons SECT IX LEt not a Princely Traveller suffer himselfe to be surprised with a prepossest opinion against the Dons nor that continent though with craggy Hills on the one part yet so fruitfull on the other as that nothing can be better the which moved a Traveller who had not converst with the best of the Dons to say that all was good there except what could speake But as for the mighty Pireneans they are of more consequence then the wall of China was for Tartars cannot break through them It pleased providence for the good of Spaine and France to place the Pirenean Hills between those two great continents and to strengthen that body of Spaine by Rivers of living waters which for comparison may be applyed to the blood which runs all along the King of Spaines vaines that of Austria besides the Banks of Silver and Gold from Potosi in the American continent whereby Spaine is enabled to vvage Warr in divers parts A Princely Traveller will certainly meet with a Nobility who puts its own stamp on their forehead who need not as Scholars go to read the saying on the Temple of Apollo in Delphos they teach it to their striplings of whom rhey make men from their Adolescency by infusing Valour into them and warning them never to fight so as that when past in the bed of Mars there may no wound be seen in their back Their common motto is Mas moros mas ganancia the more Moores the more is the gain meaning Enemies On towards Madrid with this assurance that whosoever trusts in an old Castilsan shall ever find him a friend If to my Princely Traveller the Escuriall be on his roade he will see therein a most glorious Pantheon the receptacle of sacred Ashes of Kings and Queenes of Spaine it is built under the great Altar the dores thereof are of copper mixt with ornaments in moldings of massy Gold the staires of polisht Jas●is the inside walls of White and Green polisht Marble the Sepulchers of white Marble placed as the Urnes of the Noble Romans in the side walls there are three on the left hand the First that of the Emperour Charles the 5th the 2d of King Philip the 2d the 3d that of King Philip the 3d that for Philip the 4th is ready prepared on the right side are the Tombes of 4 Queenes whereof Elizabeth of Bourbon is one On the Altar is a great Cross the height of a man enricht with massy gold in the midst of this Pantheon hangs a great branched Candlestick

Feast the Order hath its Prelate Chancellor Guster Steward and Roy d' Armes called Garter The Order of the Bath The Knights of the Bath consists properly to cover the Kings Table on the day of Coronation and to ride before the King the Blazon of the Order is three Crownes with these words Tria in unum with the Ceremonies of their installment I shall not trouble my Princely Traveller who by the digression of these severall Orders will have sufficient matter to entertaine the German from Adell And having thus treated of the two maine points very much stood upon by the High German Nobility a Princely Traveller having discoursed thereon may if he please speake of Arts and sciences and begin with Geometry without which no man can be a good Astronomer nor understand Perspective Cosmography Architecture Fortifications and Navigation as without it Euclides Archimedes Apollonius Pergens Diophantus Ptolomeus and diverse others cannot be understood and their knowledge attained unto as that of distances course and strange intricate miraculous motions of the resplendent Heavenly Globes the Sun Moon Planets and fixed starres nor can it otherwise be received for a possibility that Archimedes with a glasse framed by revolution of a parabolicall section did fire the Roman Navy in the Sea coming to Syracusa nor could the fabrick of Noahs Arke be understood without some mean skill in Geometry The Sciagraphy of the Temple set out by Ezechiel nor sundry words both in the New and Old Testament whose proper signification is meerly Geometricall nor made good the saying of Plato that God doth alwaies work by Geometry that is as the Wise man doth interpret it Sap. Xl. v 21. Omnia in mensurà numero pondere disponere dispose all things by measure and number and weight By Geometry a Generall of an Army can best order a fit stand for the same conduct Mines under the Earth discharge Canon discover by Sea the distance of shipps the exact dividing of Grounds after Inundations which take away the bounds and markes of Lands It teacheth the Architect quantities and proportions of all parcells appertaining to any kind of Buildings and for the exact measuring of sundry solid regular or irregular In a word it teacheth to make a scale to the whole world and all that therein is of Bodies Surfaces Lines and whatsoever else is to be measured as Arithmetick which is the first of the foure parts of Mathematicks doth teach the proceeding the property and the practick of numbers resolves all kind of questions concerning trade and the most noble parts of the Mathematicks so Cosmography wherein the German delights doth further that of the whole Universe composed of Heaven and Earth Celestiall and Elementary regions Geography which doth comprehend the Chorographie the Topographie and the Hydrographie by the first to comprehend parts of the Earth or Kingdoms by the second a City or some other place with the adjacent Neighbourhood by the third the particular description of the water and its part By Perspective is given true proportion in distances and shortning of Objects and of the shadows which the Sun by shining on a body doth cause on the opposite part for that the lines and rules of Perspective do proceed from equall distances and tend to a fixt poynt The light and shadows which the beams of the Sun do give to a body having their infallible measures because such bodies on which the Sun beams extend themselves have a proportion which doth not change by the beams of the light neither by the faculties of our sight so that the light which spreads it selfe on those bodies gives a form to the shadow according to the bignesse the height and forme thereof and as to the Art of excellent expressive drawing all dimensions it consists not only in forme but in the representing of quick motions proceeding from passions as Anger Feare Sorrow and Joy besides the true colouring which all Painters did not attaine unto though Leonardo de Vinci Andrea del Sarto Perin del Vago Gracious Farmentio and even Raphael d' Urbin were of the first classs yet did Coregio Titian Jorgeon Pourdenon Paulo Veronese and even the rough Tintoret colour more like flesh and blood then the above named Imagerie called Sculptura is highly minded by the Germans their Albert Durer having made good progresse therein both in Ivory and hard wood but he did not observe the custome of the Grecians who did make choyce of the most compleat parts and united them into one body Architecture followeth the Carver his prime parts are Solidity Conveniency and Ornament for what serves strength if not of use and how can Solidity and conveniency please without a gracious aspect of such buildings a Princely Traveller will see in some parts of Germany France Italy and Spaine in Germany the admirable structure of the Duke of Bavaria at Muneken in France for a Kings pallace the long begun Louure with its extent to the Tuilleries the Pallace of Orleans its Garden and Waterworks with diverse great Pallaces of Cardinalls and of the Nobility The French Kings Pallaces at St Germain and Fountain Bleau for Waterworks and rare gardens of all sorts at Chaliot St Clou Ruel Liancour the Seate of the President Belieure that of the President Mayson and Richelieu in Italy every where in every Citty and Towne and every street adorned with extraordinary great Statues the Country set with Palaces as if all cast into one mould like to those of Caprarola Frescati and the like Churches so sumptuous as if all built by Solomons directions Chappell 's in the Churches enriched with precious stones whereof that at Florence is most notable and so are the sundry rarities in the Arcenall of that Duke not inferiour to those rich Imperiall Cabinets in Germany France Italy and Spaine So of rare Horses which the Germans ride well the French teach well and sets out well the Napolitan Cavallier who affects to have his great Saddle Horse taught more by gentlenesse then by spurr or whip So will a Princely Traveller meet with rare Orators in every Art Science and Noble exercise Men that speake words preserved in salt and with grace Men that really can not in shew as Seneca did despise the means of Fortune which is a true operation of a well placed soule the greatnesse whereof raiseth man above all things Men that teach to lovers of Knowledge the most precious use of all Arts and Sciences by Arithmetick to number their dayes to apply their hearts unto wisdome by Geometry to be just in the reparations of each mans Meum Tuum by Cosmography to move the soule of man the more towards the seat of Angels and not to fix his mind on Imaginary Elysian fields as those between Naples and Puteoli where my Princely Traveller shall not be confind by Geography to find the extent of subalterne things but by the many lines which tend to a point in Perspective be led to leave all
