Vol.I. to ITALY.
according to the Fancy os his Time,
or his own private Fancy ; and
that hath been the cause of the dis-
proportionableness of its Parts: But
if it be taken altogether, it may

Structure. You mult not expert,
that I should give you an ample
Description of a Place that is so vast,
and lb full of Rarities. And there-

of Beauties and Riches are found
there in abundance. The great Flail
of the Emperor’s Apartment is One
Hundred and Eighteen Foot in
length
breadth. We may justly say, that
it is in every respect Magnificent.
All the Paintings are highly esteem-
ed: They are Histories, the Sacred
on one side, and the Prophane on
the other; there are Zmrzw Verses to
every History. I will set down the Distich for

and Gems of all Fafliions. They keep a great D. O. M. ad
many Relicks there, among which I took noticec“ltu
of a piece of Gold Mohair, which, they say, was pis'”saium®
part of one of the Virgin’s Gowns. genirricis ge-
