censists of one Nave or Body, very high, broad,
and strongly roofed ; the Vestry is full of Riches,
and they want no Relicks: They Ihewed us a
Vertebra, or Joint of the Back-bone as big as that
of an Elephant, or some huge Animal; and this
great Bone, as we were inform'd, is in great ve-

All that come to Worship in those Churches have
a lighted Wax-Candle in their Hands; and that
Candle is bigger or lesser, according to the Qua-

The out-side of the Elector’s Palace is not suit-
able to the Magnificence within ; and tho’ the
greatell part of its Apartments are well contriv’d,
it may be said, that they are all irregular : The
reason is, that this great Mass of Building was
not erected at the same time; every one built
