Monsieur
L'
EPY's
TRAVELS
INTO
TARTARY
.
SO
glorious
is
the
Beauty
of
the
Sun
,
and
the
Sphere
of
his
Activity
so
large
,
that
of
all
those
People
who
adore
the
Creature
to
the
Prejudice
and
Dishonour
of
the
Creator
,
those
are
to
be
deem'd
less
culpable
,
who
pay
their
homage
to
this
,
of
all
the
Beings
or
Things
of
Heaven
which
we
behold
,
the
most
noble
and
beautiful
.
In
short
,
his
Characters
have
such
a
Correspondence
with
those
of
the
Deity
,
that
were
it
not
for
that
Revelation
which
informs
us
to
the
contrary
,
we
could
not
be
blam'd
for
adoring
him
as
the
God
of
this
sublunary
World.
The
Earth
,
which
seems
to
undergo
a
kind
of
Death
at
his
departure
,
seems
to
rise
again
at
his
return
;
while
the
Plants
sending
forth
their
Flowers
and
Leaves
,
recloath
her
with
their
gayest
Ornaments
.
The
Birds
renew
their
Amours
;
the
very
Insects
propagate
;
the
more
perfect
Animals
resume
new
vigor
to
engender
their
like
:
And
,
in
a
word
,
this
common
Mother
of
all
things
grows
young
again
,
when
he
has
finished
his
Southern
Retrogradation
,
and
comes
back
to
us
.
Or
,
if
it
be
he
that
stands
still
,
when
she
,
according
to
the
Order
of
her
Revolution
,
opposes
against
him
one
or
other
of
his
Tropicks
.
For
then
it
is
that
she
keeps
open-house
for
all
her
Inhabitants
,
by
the
Production
of
her
Fruits
,
by
the
Favour
of
his
lovely
Aspect
,
from
which
nothing
is
conceal'd
.
For
the
vast
extent
of
his
Beams
renders
him
present
over
all
the
Universe
,
of
which
he
penetrates
the
deep
Abysses
,
there
to
produce
Gold
,
Diamonds
and
Pearls
.
He
is
the
inexhaustible
Fountain
of
that
heat
which
enlivens
us
,
and
our
real
Fellow-parent
in
the
Generation
of
our
Children
,
if
we
may
give
credit
to
Aristotle
.
He
is
lovely
for
his
Beauty
,
to
be
adored
for
his
Power
,
unspeakable
for
his
Effects
,
formidable
for
his
Chastisements
,
which
he
shall
quickly
feel
,
that
stares
upon
his
lustre
,
with
disrespectul
Eyes
,
as
being
dazl'd
with
the
sight
;
and
if
he
continue
obstinate
in
his
curiosity
,
he
fails
not
to
find
himself
overwhelmed
with
the
spendor
of
his
Glory
.
Now
if
all
these
Attributes
will
not
serve
to
excuse
People
that
want
the
light
of
the
Sun
of
Justice
,
and
that
to
be
only
a
more
specifick
Character
of
the
Divinity
,
we
may
add
in
their
favour
,
That
he
is
only
single
;
for
which
reason
it
was
that
the
Greeks
call'd
him
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
by
a
name
excluding
Multitude
.
The
Assyrians
nam'd
him
Adad
,
signifying
One
,
and
acknowledged
him
for
the
chiefest
of
the
Gods
,
together
with
the
Persians
,
who
called
him
by
another
name
,
which
signifies
in
their
Language
,
He
in
whom
resides
the
Soveraignty
of
Command
.
If
Pliny
his
admirer
did
not
adore
him
,
he
deem'd
him
worthy
the
Adoration
of
the
People
,
which
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Fortunate
Islands
never
refus'd
him
.
The
Massagetes
acknowledge
no
other
Deity
but
him
.
Also
at
this
day
we
find
in
China
a
Temple
dedicated
to
the
Atoms
of
the
Sun
,
whose
Palace
is
thought
to
be
the
Paradise
of
that
People
.
All
the
Heathen
upon
the
Coast
of
Malabar
pay
him
homage
,
as
also
some
part
of
the
Jappons
,
and
the
Great
Tartars
,
as
we
are
told
by
several
Geographers
.
For
my
own
part
,
in
truth
,
I
never
observ'd
any
such
sort
of
Worship
in
all
that
vast
extent
of
Territory
,
which
I
have
travell'd
;
only
I
met
with
one
small
corner
inhabited
by
Philosophers
originally
descended
from
the
Greeks
,
who
mov'd
by
these
,
or
some
other
more
important
Reflections
,
were
convinc'd
not
of
his
Divinity
,
but
of
his
Superiority
,
and
consecrated
Holy-days
;
and
ordain'd
Ceremonies
,
wherein
they
acknowledge
the
Benefits
which
they
receive
by
his
Influences
.
Their
Form
of
Government
is
Aristocratical
,
under
Laws
that
seem
to
have
been
borrowed
from
Plato's
Commonwealth
,
or
else
from
the
primitive
Christians
,
as
injoying
all
things
in
common
,
tho'
it
be
not
really
so
,
as
you
shall
see
in
reading
these
Travels
,
which
I
was
induced
to
undertake
upon
the
following
occasion
.
In
the
third
year
of
my
Age
,
and
the
year
of
our
Lord
1636.
I
was
sent
by
my
Parents
from
a
Country-house
upon
the
Saone
two
Leagues
above
Lyons
,
with
my
Governess
in
a
Boat
,
which
through
the
carelessness
of
the
Master
,
was
overset
by
another
larger
Vessel
that
was
tow'd
along
the
same
River
.
I
remember
I
heard
the
confused
noise
of
Shrieks
and
crying-out
,
We
are
lost
,
we
are
lost
;
I
ask'd
what
was
the
matter
?
they
made
answer
,
That
they
believed
me
to
be
the
Cause
of
their
disaster
,
while
the
Boat-men
stood
gazing
to
see
me
play
in
the
Water
.
At
length
I
lost
my
senses
,
I
know
not
how
.
But
no
sooner
recovering
my self
,
I
saw
a
Lady
floating
upon
the
Water
,
that
with
a
lamentable
voice
called
me
by
name
;
whereupon
I
called
to
her
and
others
whom
I
saw
perishing
before
my
Eyes
,
to
do
as
I
did
:
For
I
fansied
my self
holding
fast
by
the
Piles
of
a
wooden-Bridge
,
believing
certainly
that
I
could
not
be
drowned
so
long
as
I
kept
my
hold
.
Methought
also
that
some
body
went
about
to
hinder
me
from
saving
my self
,
by
thrusting
away
my
Head
with
a
Pole
,
which
made
me
call
him
Cruel
.
Being
thus
lost
a
second
time
,
I
remain'd
senceless
,
till
I
found
my self
in
a
Bed
,
where
some
People
had
laid
me
,
who
perceiving
me
from
the
shoar
about
half
a
League
lower
,
and
believing
me
to
be
a
Bundle
of
Goods
,
came
and
fetch'd
me
out
of
the
middle
of
the
River
,
where
they
found
me
carried
by
the
Stream
upon
a
Bavin
of
Vine-Twigs
.
About
two
hours
after
the
Boat
was
sunk
,
wherein
were
fourteen
Persons
all
unfortunately
drown'd
.
From
that
time
forward
,
being
at
the
disposal
of
those
to
whom
I
was
beholding
for
my
life
,
I
rowl'd
from
School
to
School
,
learning
Greek
,
Latin
,
and
Poetry
,
with
whatever
besides
the
Circle
of
the
Sciences
contains
,
till
I
was
fourteen
years
of
age
;
at
what
time
being
fallen
into
the
hands
of
a
sort
of
Persons
,
who
have
the
subtilty
to
insinuate
themselves
into
the
simple
Minds
of
Youth
,
and
to
make
what
impression
they
please
therein
,
I
suffer'd
my self
to
be
led
by
their
perswasions
to
follow
their
Maxims
.
I
remain'd
in
their
Society
travelling
from
City
to
City
,
from
Country
to
Country
,
till
I
was
four
and
twenty
years
of
Age
;
at
what
time
finding
my self
at
Rome
in
full
leisure
to
examine
the
Sciences
,
which
I
thought
I
had
acquir'd
,
I
found
by
my self
,
that
I
knew
nothing
because
I
had
been
ill
taught
:
Therefore
I
translated
my self
from
the
Lycaeum
to
the
Portico
,
to
the
end
I
might
give
my self
wholly
up
to
the
Study
of
Morality
,
till
the
Reflections
which
I
made
upon
the
several
Objects
that
presented
themselves
to
my
Senses
,
furnish'd
me
with
other
Principles
,
that
made
me
apply
my self
to
the
study
of
Philosophy
and
Physick
,
with
a
greater
satisfaction
than
before
.
During
this
leisure
of
mine
,
I
open'd
my
Eyes
to
observe
the
Cheats
that
had
been
put
upon
me
,
and
bethought
my self
that
it
was
my
duty
to
abandon
those
People
,
whose
ill
lead
Lives
gave
the
Lye
so
manifestly
to
their
Tenents
.
There
having
communicated
my
Design
to
Monthreso
,
the
honestest
and
the
most
Learned
among
the
whole
Tribe
,
he
not
only
approv'd
it
,
but
desir'd
he
might
have
the
honour
to
accompany
me
in
so
laudable
an
Enterprize
.
With
these
Resolutions
we
departed
from
the
Capital
of
the
Roman
Empire
the
Twentieth
of
January
1663.
by
St.
John
Lateran's
Gate
,
and
arrive
at
Naples
by
the
25th
.
where
after
we
had
seen
the
Curiosities
of
Puzzuolo
,
and
Vesuvius
,
tir'd
with
our
Travels
through
the
Principal
Parts
of
Europe
,
we
resolv'd
to
see
the
Varieties
of
other
Countries
and
Territories
of
the
World.
Thereupon
resolving
to
go
aboard
the
first
Vessel
that
set
sail
for
the
Levant
,
we
went
to
the
Sea-side
,
where
we
met
with
Signor
Hippolito
,
Captain
of
the
good
Ship
call'd
the
Hope
;
who
understanding
our
design
,
made
us
an
obliging
Proffer
of
his
Service
,
which
we
readily
accepting
,
embark'd
the
fourth
of
February
,
with
a
Wind
so
favourable
,
that
in
a
short
time
we
lost
sight
of
the
Land
,
which
by
Sickness
laying
in
my
Cabin
I
saw
no
more
till
we
arriv'd
at
Porto
Lione
,
where
we
again
had
a
view
of
it
the
Fifteenth
.
Overjoy'd
that
I
was
so
near
a
Place
which
was
formerly
the
Mansion
of
all
Human
Wisdom
,
I
soon
forgot
the
tiresome
hardships
of
the
Sea
.
So
soon
as
I
cast
my
Eyes
upon
the
ancient
Pyraeum
,
so
ill
treated
by
Time
,
that
it
does
not
preserve
so
much
as
its
Name
,
chang'd
into
that
which
it
carries
at
present
,
by
reason
of
the
ill-shap'd
figure
of
a
Lyon.
In
the
same
Place
we
hir'd
Post-Horses
to
visit
Athens
,
distant
from
the
Port
about
five
Miles
.
So
soon
as
I
arriv'd
there
,
I
began
to
look
for
the
rugged
Ruins
of
that
Famous
Piece
of
Antiquity
.
Wherein
I
found
great
Assistance
from
the
knowledge
of
the
Learned
Demetrius
,
to
whom
I
was
recommended
by
his
Friends
at
Venice
.
Neither
was
my
own
Skill
in
the
Greek
unprofitable
to
me
.
For
though
the
Vulgar
Greek
differs
very
little
from
that
in
the
Schools
,
the
Corruption
of
this
is
not
so
great
,
but
that
it
may
be
understood
,
when
it
is
spoken
according
to
the
Pronunciation
of
the
Country
.
Besides
that
it
is
as
common
among
Persons
of
Quality
,
as
Latin
among
the
Polonians
.
Moreover
,
they
told
me
,
that
there
is
no
other
Greek
to
speak
properly
than
that
.
In
regard
that
what
is
call'd
Vulgar
Greek
is
a
kind
of
Pedlars
French
,
which
differs
according
to
the
several
Jurisdictions
of
the
Country
:
that
it
was
the
same
in
the
time
of
Demosthenes
;
that
then
,
besides
the
four
Dialects
most
known
,
there
were
some
other
in
use
among
the
Vulgar
People
;
but
that
the
Orators
in
their
publick
Pleadings
made
use
of
the
common
Speech
,
which
was
understood
by
the
ordinary
sort
,
although
they
did
not
speak
it
;
which
they
confirm'd
to
me
by
the
Letters
of
private
Persons
written
at
that
time
,
and
which
were
afterwards
found
in
the
Ruins
of
old
Walls
.
Their
Books
also
were
written
in
that
sort
of
Greek
,
which
we
call
for
that
Reason
Literal
,
and
which
is
the
very
same
that
the
Preachers
at
this
day
make
use
of
in
their
Sermons
.
In
a
word
that
Person
is
deem'd
to
write
and
speak
best
among
them
,
who
comes
nearest
the
Language
of
the
Ancient
Authors
;
which
is
at
this
day
the
only
Standard
of
the
Language
,
as
the
Paragon
in
Italy
,
and
the
Parisian
in
France
in
respect
of
the
other
Provinces
,
where
though
it
be
not
spoken
,
yet
it
is
understood
by
the
meaner
sort
.
The
Citadel
or
Acropolis
seated
upon
a
Rock
commands
the
City
,
and
is
seen
at
Sea
.
Being
not
permitted
to
go
in
I
could
see
no
more
than
the
outward
side
of
it
;
but
my
Friend
told
me
that
there
was
a
noble
Piece
of
Antiquity
,
viz.
the
Temple
of
Diana
.
However
all
that
we
could
meet
with
of
the
Ancient
Ornaments
of
that
City
,
built
many
Ages
before
Rome
was
,
only
certain
small
Towers
erected
in
honour
of
those
who
had
been
Victors
in
the
Olympick
Games
,
and
some
Portico's
of
ruin'd
Temples
;
among
which
there
is
one
which
resembles
that
of
Virile
Fortune
,
which
is
now
the
Egyptian
St.
Mary's
at
Rome
,
upon
the
Banks
of
Tiber
,
in
the
Flesh-market
.
They
shew'd
me
also
a
certain
piece
of
carv'd
Work
,
representing
Diana
in
her
hunting
Habit
,
attended
in
a
Wood
by
her
Nymphs
.
It
was
a
wonderful
Piece
of
Workmanship
,
and
the
Inscription
gave
us
to
understand
,
that
it
was
wrought
by
the
hand
of
Phidias
,
having
been
digg'd
,
but
a
little
before
we
came
thither
,
out
of
the
Ruins
of
the
Areopagus
;
which
does
not
now
stand
within
the
compass
of
the
City
,
that
is
now
reduc'd
within
a
lesser
compass
.
They
also
shew'd
me
the
place
of
the
Temple
or
Altar
Erected
to
the
unknown
God.
Several
Statues
are
digg'd
up
out
of
the
Earth
every
day
,
of
which
not
one
that
I
have
seen
comes
near
to
those
of
Italy
.
Thereupon
being
amaz'd
to
see
so
few
Signs
of
its
ancient
Splendor
,
they
made
me
answer
,
that
I
might
see
them
in
other
Places
,
whither
the
War
had
transplanted
them
,
or
else
Barter
in
Traffick
.
Indeed
there
was
one
Piece
which
I
saw
the
last
time
I
was
at
Venice
,
in
the
House
of
Signor
Michele
Peruli
,
an
Athenian
Merchant
,
which
had
been
sent
him
as
a
Present
,
representing
in
Bass
Relief
,
a
young
man
stark
naked
,
holding
a
[
*
](B25774-e11930-b)
*
Or
else
a
Horn-Owlet
,
for
the
word
signifies
the
same
.
Jack-daw
in
his
Right
hand
.
The
botom
of
the
Sculpture
was
adorn'd
with
a
Palm-tree
,
upon
the
Trunk
of
which
a
certain
kind
of
Beetle
was
engrav'd
in
a
creeping
Posture
.
The
Cornish
comes
forth
as
far
as
the
Statue
,
and
is
raised
by
two
borders
,
between
which
at
the
Top
these
words
are
to
be
read
in
Greek
Letters
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
which
some
will
therefore
have
to
be
the
Son
of
the
Great
Demosthenes
.
The
Piece
is
good
from
the
Belly
downward
;
but
the
Head
is
not
very
extraordinary
,
and
the
left
hand
is
broke
off
.
Every
Body
knows
that
the
Statue
of
Venus
which
formerly
stood
upon
Mount
Pincius
at
Rome
,
and
is
now
to
be
seen
in
the
Galleries
of
Florence
,
leave
being
given
to
the
Grand
Duke
by
the
present
Pope
to
remove
it
thither
,
was
the
Work
of
an
Athenian
,
whose
name
is
engrav'd
at
the
bottom
of
the
Statue

Kleomenes
the
Son
of
Apollodorus
an
Athenian
made
this
.
A
favour
which
the
Dukes
Predecessors
could
ne'er
obtain
,
though
from
Popes
of
the
same
Family
.
So
cautious
they
were
of
parting
with
any
of
the
Ornaments
of
their
City
;
whereas
the
present
Pope
suffers
them
to
be
daily
taken
away
,
notwithstanding
all
the
grumbling
of
the
Romans
.
So
that
all
that
remains
at
this
day
of
the
Athenian
Antiquity
is
their
Olive
Trees
and
their
Wit
.
These
Olive
Trees
encompass
it
round
,
and
are
the
chief
Revenue
of
the
Athenians
.
Their
other
Fruits
are
very
Excellent
,
and
it
may
be
the
best
in
the
World.
But
as
for
the
Inhabitants
they
are
no
less
naturally
Witty
and
Ingenious
than
ever
;
so
that
if
they
were
but
well
manur'd
by
Education
,
they
would
prove
as
Good
Poets
,
Orators
,
Philosophers
,
Statuaries
or
other
Artists
whatever
,
as
ever
were
known
at
the
time
when
it
flourish'd
in
its
highest
Splendour
.
The
Turks
have
the
same
respect
for
them
as
the
Romans
had
;
who
suffer
them
to
live
according
to
their
own
Laws
,
and
to
be
govern'd
by
their
own
Magistrates
,
for
the
Grand
Signior
is
contented
only
with
sending
thither
one
of
his
Favourite
Eunuchs
,
who
receives
the
Duty
impos'd
,
without
farther
concerning
himself
with
their
Affairs
;
besides
that
his
Garrison
is
very
inconsiderable
.
The
Bishop
is
Judge
of
the
Differences
between
the
Diocesans
,
who
generally
submit
to
his
Determination
for
fear
of
Ecclesiastical
Censures
.
They
trade
into
Italy
with
their
Commodities
,
for
which
they
receive
in
exchange
Cloth
,
and
all
manner
of
Iron
Tools
.
Their
Women
are
handsome
,
and
richly
clad
in
their
Garments
embroider'd
with
Gold
down
to
their
very
Shooes
,
which
their
Husbands
,
though
poor
,
willingly
let
them
have
,
for
fear
of
a
greater
mischief
.
The
Citizens
of
Quality
wear
a
long
black
robe
with
short
Sleeves
;
but
their
Priests
are
habited
much
like
the
Ministers
of
the
English
Church
,
only
the
Sleeve
is
not
gathered
into
Pleats
:
In
the
City
they
always
wear
upon
their
Heads
a
round
Cap
;
but
in
the
Country
a
flat
Hat
;
which
they
call
an
Ischiodon
,
because
it
covers
them
from
the
Sun
;
their
Beds
are
Quilts
laid
down
on
the
Sopsa
,
but
some
of
them
are
furnish'd
after
our
own
fashion
.
They
believe
the
presence
of
Jesus
Christ
in
the
Sacrament
;
though
the
most
Learned
among
them
have
acknowledg'd
to
me
,
that
the
Fathers
never
understood
what
Transubstantiation
meant
.
They
say
moreover
that
Christ
is
not
there
present
in
that
manner
which
the
Latins
hold
,
when
the
Priest
pronounces
these
Words
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
.
This
is
my
Body
;
which
they
affirm
to
be
purely
Historical
,
but
by
virtue
of
the
Prayer
when
he
says
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
.
Make
this
Bread
the
worthy
Body
of
Christ
.
I
observ'd
that
they
never
kneel'd
before
the
Sacrament
,
but
only
bow'd
with
their
Shoulders
to
the
Bread
,
as
well
before
as
after
Consecration
.
The
Liturgy
being
ended
,
the
Priest
invites
the
People
to
the
Communion
,
if
no
body
come
,
he
eats
the
remainder
upon
a
Table
which
stands
at
the
side
of
the
North
Door
.
As
for
the
Sick
,
they
communicate
of
the
Bread
and
Wine
Consecrated
by
the
Bishop
upon
Maundy
Thursday
for
the
whole
year
.
To
which
purpose
they
keep
the
Bread
steep'd
in
the
Wine
,
by
the
side
of
the
Altar
in
a
Cup-board
without
Light.
I
ask'd
them
,
whither
the
Sacrament
so
preserv'd
,
did
not
putrifie
;
but
they
assur'd
me
,
it
did
not
.
The
Bishops
Miter
is
not
cloven
,
but
round
,
and
all
beset
with
precious
Stones
.
All
the
Bishops
believe
themselves
to
be
equal
as
to
the
Function
,
but
not
as
to
the
Sea
,
the
Dignity
of
which
exalts
the
one
above
the
other
,
by
virtue
of
an
Institution
purely
Humane
,
and
not
Divine
.
They
never
stay
till
they
are
sick
to
receive
the
Sacrament
of
Extream
Unction
;
but
they
receive
it
all
every
year
in
the
holy
Week
,
after
this
manner
:
Two
Archbishops
bless
the
Oil
;
afterwards
the
Archbishop
of
the
Church
being
seated
in
his
Chair
,
and
five
or
six
Priests
in
theirs
,
the
People
present
themselves
to
be
anointed
,
first
by
the
Prelate
,
who
holding
a
Wax
Candle
in
his
hand
,
dips
the
Cotten
in
the
holy
Oil
,
and
then
anoints
the
Forhead
,
the
Face
,
and
Palm
of
the
Hand
;
after
which
the
same
Person
goes
to
the
other
Priests
who
do
the
same
.
They
pray
for
the
dead
,
whose
Souls
they
believe
remain
in
this
World
in
expectation
of
the
General
day
of
Judgment
;
not
admitting
any
parcicular
Judgment
.
They
frequently
perfume
with
Frankincense
in
their
Ceremonies
,
which
are
very
decent
,
and
fill
the
Soul
with
a
sensible
Devotion
.
I
ask'd
them
the
reason
why
they
made
such
frequent
use
of
their
Perfumes
;
to
which
they
answer'd
,
That
it
was
to
admonish
the
People
to
send
up
their
Prayers
with
the
Perfume
,
which
ascends
toward
Heaven
.
As
to
what
remains
,
the
Eastern
Church
glories
in
its
Priority
,
which
they
assume
to
themselves
,
and
which
is
no
more
than
Truth
;
neither
do
the
Latins
dispute
the
Point
of
Eldership
.
That
which
surpriz'd
me
was
this
,
that
they
should
preserve
themselves
under
the
Tyranny
of
the
Mahometans
,
who
neither
by
their
oppressive
Impositions
,
nor
fair
Promises
,
could
ever
oblige
the
Eastern
Christians
to
change
the
Gospel
for
the
Alcoran
.
To
which
purpose
I
will
impart
to
the
Reader
two
Remarkable
Passages
,
that
happen'd
about
six
years
since
;
the
one
at
Constantinople
,
that
befel
a
young
man
between
seventeen
and
eighteen
years
of
Age
,
whose
Name
was
Anthony
,
Learned
for
his
Age
in
the
Turkish
Language
above
any
,
belov'd
by
every
one
for
his
Excellent
Qualities
,
even
of
the
Turks
themselves
,
who
for
that
reason
would
fain
have
brought
him
over
to
the
Mahometan
Religion
.
To
which
purpose
they
shew'd
him
a
little
Note
to
read
,
wherein
were
written
,
in
Arabian
,
these
words
,
I
believe
in
God
,
and
in
Mahomet
his
Apostle
.
So
soon
as
he
had
read
it
,
they
saluted
him
as
one
of
their
Brethren
,
saying
he
was
a
Turk
,
as
having
made
a
Profession
of
their
Religion
by
reading
that
Note
.
He
deny'd
it
;
upon
which
they
carried
him
before
a
Judge
who
condemn'd
him
.
From
thence
they
hal'd
him
to
the
Grand
Visier
,
who
upon
the
Testimony
of
those
wicked
People
who
had
so
surpriz'd
him
,
condemn'd
him
also
to
make
profession
of
the
Law
,
as
being
thereto
oblig'd
by
his
reading
.
Upon
his
refusal
they
carried
him
to
Prison
,
where
for
thirty
days
he
endured
most
horrible
torments
;
of
which
one
among
the
rest
was
the
thrusting
of
sharp
Reeds
between
the
Flesh
and
the
Nails
of
his
Fingers
:
After
which
he
had
his
Head
cut
off
,
which
the
Embassador
of
France
bought
of
the
Executioner
as
a
precious
Relique
.
The
other
,
named
Diamanti
,
aged
about
thirty
years
,
and
of
a
charming
Beauty
,
was
rowing
naked
in
a
Boat
upon
a
River
of
Asia
,
with
certain
Turks
,
who
mov'd
with
compassion
that
so
lovely
a
Man
should
perish
for
want
of
embracing
their
Religion
,
put
a
white
Turbant
upon
his
Head.
Which
done
,
he
was
used
with
the
same
severity
as
Anthony
was
,
after
he
had
refused
the
chiefest
Preferments
in
the
Empire
.
But
a
Jacobin
Monk
,
who
was
there
at
the
same
time
,
renouncing
his
Christianity
,
was
the
occasion
of
their
recovering
by
his
Apostacy
,
what
they
had
lost
by
the
generous
Constancy
of
Diamanti
.
I
could
give
a
more
ample
Description
of
the
Religion
of
the
Greeks
,
but
having
done
it
in
another
place
,
I
shall
not
study
to
enlarge
this
Volume
.
Neither
was
Demetrius
content
to
shew
me
what
was
within
the
City
,
but
extending
his
kindness
,
resolv'd
to
let
me
see
what
was
without
.
To
which
purpose
he
invited
me
to
take
a
walk
with
him
to
the
Country-house
of
one
Constantine
his
particular
Friend
,
distant
about
ten
miles
;
which
we
resolv'd
to
walk
according
to
the
custom
of
the
Country
.
We
set
out
by
day-break
,
and
with
great
delight
cross'd
over
several
delicious
Gardens
and
Fields
planted
with
Olive-trees
,
promising
our selves
a
most
pleasant
Journey
,
perceiving
the
Sun
to
rise
upon
the
Lilies
whiteness
.
But
contrary
to
the
Maxim
of
the
Weather-wise
we
were
deceived
.
For
a
black
Cloud
behind
us
being
driven
forward
by
a
West
wind
,
soon
got
under
the
Sun
,
and
deprived
us
of
the
sight
of
that
noble
Planet
.
Presently
the
Sky
became
so
dark
that
we
could
hardly
discern
one
another
,
which
were
the
fore-runners
of
a
most
dreadful
Thunder
;
which
,
however
,
did
not
terrifie
me
so
much
as
the
Rain
that
followed
did
me
mischief
.
For
besides
that
continuing
all
that
day
,
it
soak'd
through
my
Shirt
to
my
very
Skin
;
the
Fat
Soil
of
the
Fields
through
which
we
were
to
pass
to
get
the
nearest
way
,
being
dissolv'd
,
we
sunk
in
the
Mud
up
to
our
very
Knees
,
so
that
we
were
forc'd
every
step
we
took
to
pull
out
our
Legs
with
our
Hands
.
This
same
Combat
with
the
bad
Weather
and
worse
Way
,
tired
me
so
much
,
that
I
was
forced
to
make
a
stop
.
Nevertheless
I
encourag'd
Monthresor
to
follow
Demetrius
;
I
bid
them
also
drink
and
be
merry
,
and
take
no
notice
of
my
indisposition
,
telling
them
withal
,
That
after
I
had
rested
my self
upon
the
descent
of
a
Turfy
Bank
,
where
I
was
laid
down
through
meer
faintness
,
I
would
endeavour
to
overtake
them
the
next
day
.
After
that
,
falling
insensibly
asleep
,
I
knew
not
what
became
of
them
,
till
wak'd
with
the
noise
,
I
perceiv'd
them
upon
two
Camels
followed
by
a
Countryman
who
led
a
third
,
which
carried
me
to
the
Friends
House
.
Constantine
treated
us
with
that
magnificence
,
that
it
was
easie
to
see
he
had
been
advertised
of
our
coming
.
But
having
lost
all
my
Strength
and
Spirits
,
not
all
the
Delicacy
of
his
Viands
could
force
my
languishing
Appetite
;
so
that
the
good
Wine
was
all
the
Refreshment
I
could
take
that
Evening
.
However
I
took
some
pleasure
to
see
the
Company
fall
on
so
heartily
,
sometimes
casting
my
Eyes
upon
a
Lady
that
sate
over-against
me
,
young
,
handsome
,
and
plump
,
yet
one
that
eat
no
more
than
my self
;
which
I
wondered
at
the
more
,
because
I
could
not
see
any
reason
she
had
to
be
so
tender-stomach'd
,
I
observ'd
also
,
that
she
would
be
still
staring
upon
me
,
and
could
read
in
her
Eyes
that
I
was
not
a
person
out
of
her
Favour
.
However
,
Modesty
would
not
permit
me
to
inform
my self
any
farther
,
and
my
Indisposition
was
Excuse
enough
for
me
to
take
leave
of
the
Company
,
that
I
might
repair
the
Losses
of
my
Strength
by
the
Refreshment
of
a
good
Bed.
After
a
short
Nap
,
I
observ'd
Monthresor
earnestly
peeping
through
the
crevice
of
a
Door
that
lead
out
of
my
Chamber
into
another
,
and
finding
by
my
stirring
,
that
I
was
awake
,
he
came
to
me
,
and
made
me
put
my
Head
out
of
Bed
,
and
look
through
the
same
chink
into
the
next
Chamber
,
where
I
saw
a
young
man
performing
the
Duty
of
a
Chambermaid
to
the
young
Lady
:
But
neither
of
us
knew
what
the
meaning
of
it
was
;
thereupon
I
fell
asleep
again
,
and
Monthresor
went
to
bed
.
About
midnight
I
was
awaked
again
by
the
hard
treading
of
some
body
in
the
Chamber
;
at
what
time
,
putting
by
the
Curtain
of
the
Bed
,
which
was
of
Cloth
of
Gold
,
I
was
strangely
surprized
to
see
the
same
young
man
in
his
Shirt
,
with
a
Scimiter
drawn
in
his
right
Hand
,
and
his
Eyes
sparkling
like
the
light
that
glitter'd
out
of
the
Lanthorn
which
he
held
in
his
left
,
with
my
own
Night-cap
.
Nor
was
I
less
terrified
to
see
him
in
that
posture
making
toward
Monthresor's
Bed
;
which
however
,
he
presently
left
to
come
to
mine
;
and
so
soon
as
he
perceived
my
bare
Head
,
which
I
thrust
out
from
between
the
Curtains
to
see
what
was
the
matter
;
Oh!
is
it
you
,
cry'd
he
?
The
noise
which
he
made
,
wakned
my
Companion
,
and
I
at
the
same
time
leap'd
out
of
my
Bed
stark
naked
as
I
was
,
having
lain
after
the
Italian
manner
,
the
better
to
ease
my self
,
snatch'd
up
my
Cloak
and
wound
it
about
my
Arm
to
send
off
the
Blows
which
the
enraged
young
Fellow
laid
on
without
mercy
.
By
this
Monthresor
coming
to
my
assistance
,
clasp'd
the
young
man
about
both
his
Arms
,
and
stopp'd
his
Fury
,
which
was
as
much
as
he
could
do
,
in
regard
we
had
both
left
our
Swords
in
the
place
where
we
supp'd
.
Presently
after
the
Lady
coming
out
of
her
Chamber
,
made
a
hideous
out-cry
which
raised
all
the
House
,
and
brought
them
into
the
Room
;
and
Demetrius
without
any
more
to
do
,
took
my
part
.
At
which
the
Aggressor
began
to
vomit
forth
against
me
all
the
Reproaches
and
ill
Language
that
his
Passion
could
invent
,
out
of
a
false
belief
,
that
I
had
attempted
the
Honour
of
his
Sister
,
shews
my
Cap
to
Constantine
,
as
being
the
most
proper
Judge
of
the
Trespass
which
was
supposed
to
have
been
committed
in
his
House
;
and
adds
,
That
having
heard
a
noise
in
her
Chamber
,
he
hastned
thither
and
found
what
I
wanted
,
lying
at
her
Beds
feet
.
However
,
though
the
Presumption
were
very
rational
,
Demetrius
had
a
better
opinion
of
me
,
as
well
in
respect
of
his
experience
of
my
Conversation
,
and
the
Recommendations
of
his
Friends
in
my
behalf
,
and
stifly
maintain'd
that
I
was
a
Person
that
scorn'd
such
a
dishonourable
Action
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Lady
who
had
thrown
her self
between
her
Brother
and
me
,
to
stop
his
Fury
,
conjured
him
by
her
own
Honour
,
not
to
believe
any
thing
that
might
tend
to
her
Scandal
;
alledging
,
that
the
Cap
might
have
been
carried
into
the
Chamber
by
some
unthought-of
Accident
.
This
Constantine
confirm'd
,
assuring
the
Company
,
That
the
Rats
,
of
which
the
House
was
full
for
want
of
Cats
,
the
sight
of
which
he
could
not
endure
,
did
often
play
him
such
Tricks
,
many
times
carrying
away
his
Stockings
and
other
Clothes
,
sometimes
into
one
Corner
,
sometimes
into
another
,
and
that
so
my
Cap
might
have
fallen
accidentally
from
my
Head
,
and
have
been
carried
where
the
young
man
found
it
;
therefore
he
desired
Lascaris
to
pacifie
his
Wrath
,
and
me
to
pardon
his
zealous
Fury
in
his
Sister's
behalf
.
Thereupon
,
every
one
acquiescing
in
his
Judgment
,
they
all
return'd
to
their
Beds
.
By
break
of
day
my
Enemy
gave
me
another
visit
,
not
like
a
Mad-man
,
but
with
a
serene
and
smiling
Countenance
,
crav'd
my
Excuse
for
the
Transports
of
his
Rage
;
and
so
saying
,
he
brought
me
one
of
his
own
Shooes
that
a
Rat
had
likewise
carried
away
,
all
gnaw'd
and
Vermin-eaten
as
it
was
:
And
this
,
added
he
,
puts
me
out
of
doubt
of
Constantine's
Conjecture
.
After
that
he
made
me
privy
to
his
Sister
's
Concerns
,
and
his
design
to
carry
her
privately
out
of
the
way
,
that
he
might
release
her
from
the
importunate
Addresses
of
the
Eunuch
Governour
of
Athens
,
who
was
passionately
in
love
with
her
,
but
whose
vain
and
impotent
Caresses
were
loathsome
to
her
.
Demetrius
would
fain
have
had
me
travelled
farther
up
into
the
Country
;
but
in
regard
I
had
seen
enough
to
judge
of
the
Nature
of
the
rest
by
what
I
had
seen
already
,
that
is
to
say
,
That
it
was
enriched
with
excellent
Fruits
,
abounding
in
Corn
and
Oil
,
without
any
deficiency
of
Bacchus's
Liquor
,
I
determined
to
return
to
the
City
,
where
finding
my
Landlord
Epiphanes
tied
Legs
and
Feet
by
the
Fetters
of
that
Distemper
which
proceeds
from
Wine
and
good
Chear
,
where
men
indulge
their
Appetites
to
excess
,
I
relieved
him
with
my
Antipodagricon
,
or
Antidote
against
the
Gout
;
and
understanding
that
our
Vessel
was
ready
to
set
sail
for
Constantinople
,
tho'
there
still
remained
many
things
for
me
to
have
seen
in
this
so
highly
renowned
Province
of
Greece
;
I
rather
chose
to
deferr
the
Satisfaction
of
my
Curiosity
till
my
Return
,
than
to
lose
the
opportunity
of
our
Vessel
;
so
that
we
embark'd
the
25th
.
New-stile
,
and
the
15th
.
Old-stile
,
which
the
Greeks
retain
as
well
as
the
English
.
Scarce
were
we
got
clear
of
the
Road
,
but
my
usual
Distemper
seized
me
,
which
obliged
me
to
keep
my
Cabin
,
where
I
lay
ill
till
we
came
to
Byzantium
,
where
we
arrived
the
4th
.
of
March.
Upon
our
landing
,
a
French
Slave
that
stood
upon
the
Key
,
offered
to
conduct
us
to
the
House
of
Signior
Lorenzo
,
to
whom
I
had
Letters
to
deliver
;
by
the
way
we
met
with
two
Turks
,
one
of
which
took
off
my
Hat
,
and
with
his
Foot
tossed
it
up
into
the
Air
,
like
a
Foot-ball
,
diverting
himself
and
his
Companion
for
some
time
with
his
rude
Sport
,
laughing
and
houting
all
the
while
.
The
reason
was
,
as
our
Guide
told
us
,
because
those
sort
of
People
bear
an
inveterate
hatred
to
our
Habits
,
which
they
look
upon
to
be
very
paltry
and
ridiculous
,
nevertheless
we
think
them
to
be
very
graceful
,
and
account
our selves
the
wisest
People
in
the
World.
This
Capital
City
of
the
Ottoman
Empire
having
been
several
times
described
by
other
Travellers
who
have
been
very
exact
in
their
relations
,
I
shall
say
nothing
of
it
,
only
that
after
I
had
satisfied
my self
with
the
sight
of
the
Hippodrome
,
and
several
other
the
most
remarkable
parts
of
it
,
I
departed
thence
the
7th
.
of
March
,
having
the
opportunity
of
a
Vessel
,
which
carried
me
through
the
Euxine
Sea
to
Lonati
,
where
we
arrived
the
17th
.
my
desire
to
see
Tartary
,
of
which
Country
there
has
been
so
little
said
,
causing
me
to
make
choice
of
that
Passage
.
However
,
not
having
any
information
that
might
assist
me
to
find
out
the
most
commodious
and
safest
way
to
steer
my
Travels
,
I
made
it
my
business
to
frequent
the
Coffee-Houses
,
where
I
had
the
good
luck
to
meet
with
Aristides
,
a
young
man
,
well-featur'd
,
and
infinitely
civil
,
the
Son
of
a
rich
Merchant
of
Jamina
in
Epirus
,
famous
for
the
Birth
of
Pyrrhus
,
and
well
stored
with
Learning
.
This
Person
was
also
a
Traveller
for
his
pleasure
,
and
with
the
same
design
that
we
had
,
which
was
to
see
the
most
remote
Places
,
rarely
frequented
,
and
of
which
the
Relations
are
hitherto
very
imperfect
.
He
understood
the
Turkish
perfectly
well
,
but
excell'd
in
the
Litteral
Greek
.
Seeing
therefore
that
I
had
a
smattering
of
both
the
Languages
,
and
that
our
humours
corresponded
,
he
was
desirous
to
make
a
Third
in
our
Society
.
Thereupon
we
concluded
to
range
the
remainder
of
Turky
,
being
inform'd
that
we
should
find
Vessels
at
Santa
Maria
,
which
would
transport
us
into
Tartary
through
the
Caspian
Sea
,
and
that
we
might
take
that
way
without
any
danger
,
having
a
Janizary
to
attend
us
,
with
whom
we
might
agree
for
the
whole
expence
of
the
Journey
.
With
these
Instructions
we
pitch'd
upon
a
Rough
hewn
Blade
,
who
undertook
to
conduct
us
for
Twenty
five
Crowns
a
Head
,
for
whose
Fidelity
,
besides
that
he
lookt
like
an
honest
stout
fellow
,
a
Merchant
of
Aristides's
Acquaintance
engag'd
.
A
Crown
is
a
Spanish
Real
,
which
Money
,
as
well
as
that
of
the
German
Empire
and
Holland
,
goes
through
all
Turky
with
Venetian
Sequins
,
to
the
great
advantage
of
Travellers
;
upon
every
Sequin
you
get
five
Shillings
,
upon
every
Real
one
Shilling
.
Upon
the
Twentieth
of
March
we
got
a
Horse-back
,
the
Weather
being
very
fair
,
and
so
continuing
till
the
Thirtieth
,
at
what
time
we
got
to
Santa
Maria
,
by
easie
Journeys
,
setting
up
our
Tents
in
those
places
which
seem'd
to
us
most
convenient
;
and
yet
for
all
that
we
travell'd
at
least
Twelve
Leagues
a
day
.
All
that
Country
which
comprehends
Mingrelia
and
Georgia
,
is
sufficiently
beautiful
,
but
ill
peopled
and
consequently
worse
manur'd
.
The
Georgians
are
acompted
Hereticks
by
the
Greeks
,
though
they
observe
their
Ceremonies
.
The
difference
between
them
consists
chiefly
in
this
,
that
they
will
not
acknowledge
the
Holy
Virgin
to
be
the
Mother
of
God
;
alleadging
that
God
could
have
no
Mother
:
However
though
they
blame
the
Greeks
for
being
of
a
contrary
Opinion
,
yet
they
do
not
forbear
to
frequent
their
Churches
in
Italy
,
and
prefer
them
before
the
Latins
.
Aristides
and
my
self
were
present
at
their
Ceremonies
in
the
Passion
Week
,
at
what
time
Monthresor
lay
sick
of
a
Dysentry
;
but
by
virtue
of
an
infallible
Cure
which
I
brought
with
me
from
Rome
he
recover'd
,
and
was
in
a
Condition
to
put
to
Sea
,
the
Third
of
April
,
which
we
did
with
a
fair
Wind
that
brought
us
to
Mora
the
Seventh
.
However
we
did
not
land
there
,
by
reason
of
the
Pestilence
that
was
very
violent
in
that
Place
:
Which
was
to
me
a
grievous
Affliction
by
reason
of
the
racking
Pains
which
I
endur'd
upon
the
Sea
,
and
which
only
going
ashore
could
relieve
.
Thereupon
we
were
constrain'd
to
put
out
again
into
the
open
Sea
,
which
being
offended
at
our
Return
,
began
to
murmur
,
and
by
and
by
all
in
a
raging
fury
began
to
threaten
the
destruction
of
our
Vessel
,
and
swallow
us
up
in
his
Mounting
Waves
.
Nor
did
the
Storm
cease
till
some
hours
after
Night
was
shut
in
;
but
then
it
became
so
calm
and
smooth
that
I
felt
some
ease
.
The
next
day
being
the
Eighth
I
got
upon
the
Deck
,
and
descrying
Land
with
a
small
Town
about
three
Miles
distant
from
the
Shore
,
I
propos'd
to
our
Friends
,
that
we
might
be
row'd
ashore
in
our
Skiff
,
to
which
they
agreed
,
and
our
Captain
was
no
less
willing
,
and
in
respect
to
Aristides
,
order'd
the
Seamen
to
carry
our
Luggage
to
the
Town
,
which
afterwards
we
found
to
be
Sabatan
.
There
we
were
curteously
receiv'd
by
the
Inhabitants
,
who
caress'd
us
after
an
extraordinary
manner
,
and
without
any
hopes
of
Profit
,
in
regard
there
are
no
Inns
in
that
place
,
as
in
France
and
other
Countries
of
Europe
;
the
Person
that
entertains
you
being
satisfi'd
with
having
perform'd
a
laudable
Act
of
Hospitality
.
Happy
was
he
that
could
have
us
;
and
therefore
to
please
more
then
one
we
divided
our selves
.
However
though
we
lodg'd
in
several
Houses
,
we
kept
together
all
day
long
.
They
also
recommended
to
our
Service
a
Tartarian
,
who
having
liv'd
among
the
Franks
at
Constantinople
,
had
learnt
the
Italian
Language
;
and
therefore
finding
him
inclin'd
to
serve
us
we
accepted
of
him
.
And
thus
having
recover'd
our
former
health
by
rest
and
good
feeding
,
we
set
forwards
again
the
Eleventh
,
without
any
other
design
,
than
to
travel
at
a
venture
in
a
Country
that
let
us
come
where
we
would
,
we
had
what
we
aim'd
at
.
About
a
Mile
from
Sabatan
we
travell'd
over
a
rising
Ground
,
from
whence
we
might
take
a
view
of
the
Country
;
and
after
we
had
for
some
time
lookt
as
far
as
we
could
see
,
we
chose
the
South
East
,
as
seeming
the
most
pleasant
,
and
so
march'd
on
with
Caraman
our
Tartar
before
us
,
carrying
a
Basket
of
Provisions
,
with
a
Partisan
in
his
hand
,
and
his
Bow
and
Arrows
at
his
Back
.
We
carry'd
every
one
a
Carbine
in
our
hands
,
as
well
for
sport
as
defence
,
two
Pistols
in
our
Pockets
,
and
a
Scimitar
by
our
sides
;
and
as
for
our
Coats
and
Bags
of
Linnen
for
change
,
we
threw
them
upon
a
Horse
which
we
had
provided
to
serve
us
in
time
of
necessity
.
Moreover
Aristides
had
one
more
attendant
than
any
of
the
rest
;
a
stout
Mastiff
,
which
he
had
bred
up
of
a
Whelp
,
fierce
to
all
others
but
his
Masters
Friends
;
and
which
his
Master
had
arm'd
with
a
strange
fantastical
Cap
of
Steel
to
defend
him
from
the
Claws
and
Fangs
of
Wild
Beasts
,
which
covering
his
head
like
the
hollow
half
of
a
Pruen
Stone
,
ended
a
little
below
his
Nose
,
like
the
Horn
of
a
Rinoceros
,
with
a
Point
so
sharp
to
be
able
to
pierce
a
Bufolo's
Skin
.
This
Dogs
Name
was
Pamphagos
,
in
plain
English
All-devour
.
And
thus
accouter'd
and
provided
we
travell'd
all
that
day
till
night
without
meeting
any
Living
thing
;
nor
was
the
night
less
tedious
to
us
for
want
of
a
good
lodging
.
The
Twelfth
,
setting
forward
again
betimes
in
the
Morning
,
and
we
found
by
Caramans
pace
,
that
we
had
made
a
shift
to
find
the
way
to
our
Mouths
in
the
Dark
.
But
when
we
had
made
a
farther
Breach
in
his
Basket
at
Noon
,
he
began
to
out-strip
us
so
fast
that
we
were
forc'd
to
order
him
to
keep
behind
.
Toward
Evening
we
discover'd
a
Cottage
made
of
Stone
without
Morter
cover'd
with
Grass
.
Thereupon
we
desir'd
All-devour
to
open
his
Mouth
and
speak
to
the
Cottage
,
believing
that
upon
his
surly
summons
they
that
were
within
would
make
their
appearance
;
but
no
answer
being
return'd
,
we
conjectur'd
it
to
be
as
we
found
it
,
empty
;
and
thereupon
thought
fit
to
take
possession
,
not
knowing
where
to
find
a
better
Lodging
.
The
rest
of
the
Evening
we
spent
in
cutting
Fern
for
our
Bedding
.
The
Wolves
however
being
come
,
Monthresor
strook
a
light
with
his
steel
and
flint
,
to
the
end
we
might
sup
with
more
pleasure
by
the
light
of
a
small
Wax
Candle
;
Caraman
was
extreamly
pleas'd
to
see
us
feed
like
Hunters
,
in
hopes
that
he
should
have
nothing
to
carry
next
day
;
and
truly
there
was
but
a
very
small
Modicum
left
,
which
we
reserv'd
with
an
equal
proportion
of
Wine
for
breakfast
.
Thus
after
we
had
supp'd
we
took
our
repose
very
sweetly
under
the
Guard
of
All-devour
,
who
kept
Sentinel
at
the
Door
of
the
Cottage
.
The
Thirteenth
All-devour
started
a
Hare
,
which
it
was
Monthresor's
good
fortune
to
kill
.
Presently
we
got
a
good
heap
of
Brush
Wood
together
to
roast
our
Venison
.
And
after
we
had
din'd
we
agreed
together
,
that
if
any
Misfortune
should
threaten
us
,
the
last
living
should
inherit
all
the
Goods
.
All
this
while
the
apprehension
of
wanting
Victuals
had
put
us
quite
out
of
conceit
with
these
Deserts
,
at
what
time
we
discover'd
about
four
Miles
off
a
rising
Hillock
,
of
which
the
White
and
Green
put
it
into
our
heads
that
we
should
make
a
discovery
what
it
really
was
.
Thereupon
we
made
up
to
it
,
and
the
nearer
we
approach'd
the
Objects
rendring
themselves
more
distinct
,
at
length
we
perceiv'd
them
to
be
a
knot
of
Shepherds
Lodgings
,
who
understanding
by
Caraman
the
Cause
of
our
coming
,
feasted
us
in
their
Tents
to
the
best
of
their
Power
:
For
their
usual
Dyet
is
Milk
,
Cheese
,
Butter
and
Pulse
,
such
as
the
Earth
naturally
produces
without
labour
.
Some
there
are
that
eat
Flesh
;
but
they
are
lookt
upon
as
Savages
and
Brutes
.
They
have
also
a
sort
of
Wheat
which
grows
like
their
Pulse
without
the
assistance
of
Husbandry
;
but
they
make
no
Bread
of
it
,
no
more
than
they
make
Wine
of
their
Grapes
.
In
a
word
,
they
live
upon
all
the
Productions
of
the
Earth
,
which
it
affords
them
without
any
other
preparation
than
that
of
nature
.
Nevertheless
,
as
having
the
forecast
of
Bees
and
Emets
,
they
make
their
Provision
in
its
proper
Seasons
against
Winter
.
As
to
their
Stature
,
they
are
generally
about
four
foot
and
a
half
high
,
but
never
exceed
five
.
Their
Faces
are
generally
square
,
but
well
shap'd
,
only
that
their
Noses
are
generally
flat
:
They
are
strong
and
couragious
;
their
Cloathing
for
the
more
careless
sort
is
only
a
Sheeps
Skin
;
but
the
more
neat
and
curious
make
use
of
the
Skins
of
Hares
,
Martins
,
Foxes
or
Tygers
,
which
they
kill
in
Hunting
.
Nor
is
the
Habit
of
the
Women
much
different
from
that
of
the
Men
;
for
they
say
that
the
Beard
is
a
sufficient
distinction
between
the
two
Sexes
.
They
are
faithful
to
their
Husbands
,
equally
sharing
with
them
in
their
Cares
and
Pains
,
according
to
the
practise
of
Holland
.
When
they
have
a
mind
to
eat
,
their
Provision
is
brought
in
an
old
Hart
,
or
Elan's
Skin
;
which
being
spread
upon
the
Ground
serves
instead
of
a
Table
,
Napkin
and
Platter
much
like
the
Greeks
and
Turks
;
they
sit
down
upon
Cushions
made
of
Sheep
Skins
with
the
Wooll
on
;
every
one
takes
what
best
pleases
his
Palate
.
For
they
have
Fruits
of
all
sorts
,
fresh
in
their
Season
,
and
preserv'd
in
Winter
;
Apples
,
Pears
,
Cherries
,
Figs
,
Grapes
,
Wheat
,
Milk
,
and
Roots
,
which
they
preserve
in
Honey
instead
of
Salt
,
of
which
they
make
no
use
at
all
;
they
begin
their
Meals
with
a
large
draught
of
Milk
,
and
so
conclude
them
.
After
that
,
if
they
chance
to
be
a
drye
,
they
quench
their
Thirsts
with
the
next
fair
Water
they
meet
.
They
lye
in
their
Cloaths
upon
Skins
spread
upon
the
Ground
,
and
cover
themselves
with
Skins
of
the
same
sort
:
Which
I
find
to
be
more
convenient
than
the
Beds
of
Germany
and
Switzerland
,
where
Feathers
serve
for
Bed
and
Coverlet
.
They
are
never
sick
,
and
therefore
Physick
is
not
known
among
them
.
They
only
dye
of
old
Age
,
upon
the
utter
extinction
of
their
Natural
heat
,
which
happens
sooner
or
later
,
according
to
the
Composition
which
they
first
receiv'd
in
their
Mothers
Womb.
I
once
askt
a
decrepid
old
Man
,
whether
he
were
not
afraid
of
Death
?
Who
being
surpriz'd
at
the
Novelty
of
a
Question
never
propos'd
among
them
,
made
answer
,
That
there
was
nothing
to
be
fear'd
where
there
was
nothing
of
Evil
.
That
he
conceiv'd
Death
to
be
nothing
else
but
a
Cessation
from
the
Motions
of
Action
and
Thought
:
That
all
evil
consisted
in
the
Thought
,
and
therefore
there
could
be
no
suffering
where
there
is
a
Cessation
of
Thought
.
I
could
not
but
admire
at
such
Philosophy
as
this
in
a
Person
so
Illiterate
;
for
they
are
so
far
from
addicting
themselves
to
study
,
that
they
have
not
any
knowledge
of
Books
.
In
the
next
place
I
caus'd
him
to
be
ask'd
of
what
Religion
he
was
?
To
which
he
made
this
Return
,
That
he
was
a
Shepherd
by
Profession
;
nor
could
I
draw
any
other
answer
from
him
.
They
abide
in
the
Places
of
which
they
make
choice
,
so
long
as
their
Flocks
find
any
thing
to
feed
upon
.
Afterwards
they
remove
into
other
Parts
,
under
the
Conduct
of
one
who
is
their
Chief
.
They
were
so
Civil
,
that
perceiving
we
wanted
a
Tent
,
they
presented
us
with
one
of
their
own
;
together
with
a
Cart
and
four
Cows
to
draw
it
,
which
besides
the
service
that
they
did
us
,
might
also
feed
us
with
their
Milk.
Their
Tents
are
made
of
white
Skins
,
drest
with
the
Hair
on
;
which
colour
they
make
choice
of
above
all
others
,
to
the
end
their
Tents
may
be
discern'd
at
a
distance
,
which
prevents
others
that
have
occasion
to
change
their
stations
,
to
remove
to
a
place
already
possess'd
.
The
Fifteenth
we
took
leave
of
our
Hosts
,
laden
with
Provisions
for
Eight
days
,
which
they
put
into
our
Cart
;
for
which
we
presented
them
with
several
Italian
Trifles
,
very
acceptable
to
them
by
reason
of
their
Novelty
.
From
thence
we
went
on
slowly
,
and
by
short
Journeys
,
taking
up
our
Lodging
an
hour
before
Night
,
which
we
spent
either
in
eating
or
sleeping
,
one
of
our
Company
always
keeping
watch
in
his
Turn
;
not
for
fear
of
Robbers
,
or
Barbarous
spoilers
of
Passengers
;
for
there
are
no
such
Usages
among
them
,
but
for
fear
of
the
wild
Beasts
,
which
otherwise
might
have
assaulted
our
Persons
,
or
devour'd
our
Cows
,
for
whose
Pasturage
our
Sentinel
had
in
charge
to
provide
,
with
the
assistance
of
All-devour
,
We
also
made
a
stop
in
the
day
time
,
as
well
to
rest
our selves
,
as
to
refresh
our selves
with
a
short
Meal
,
which
was
generally
by
the
side
of
a
Fountain
,
which
wanting
of
,
we
drank
at
the
charge
of
our
Cows
.
The
Twentieth
we
understood
by
the
heat
of
the
Sun
,
that
we
were
far
distant
from
the
North
;
which
heat
was
so
violent
,
that
the
Reflection
of
it
from
a
Rock
upon
our
right
hand
,
put
Aristides
into
a
violent
Fit
of
the
Headach
,
who
having
at
length
met
with
a
convenient
Shade
,
under
the
favour
of
the
Elbow
of
a
Hillock
,
made
bold
to
sit
down
upon
certain
Stones
,
which
long
time
had
loosen'd
and
rowl'd
down
from
the
Rock
;
besides
that
our
hour
being
come
,
the
conveniency
of
the
Place
invited
us
to
take
our
Repast
,
provided
we
could
meet
with
any
Water
.
Thereupon
Monthresor
and
my self
,
leaving
our
sick
Friend
to
his
Repose
under
the
Guard
of
Carraman
,
went
to
look
out
for
some
Water
,
judging
by
the
nature
of
the
Place
,
that
we
could
not
be
far
off
from
a
Spring
:
Nor
were
we
deceiv'd
,
for
not
far
off
,
we
discovered
a
large
Hind
going
to
cool
himself
in
a
wide
receptacle
of
spring
water
,
not
unlike
to
that
which
proves
the
Spring
of
a
wide
River
near
the
Temple
of
Diana
at
the
foot
of
Tourmagne
at
Nimes
in
Languedoc
.
The
Beast
was
nothing
scared
either
at
the
sight
of
us
,
or
our
Fire-arms
;
nor
did
we
think
it
Humanity
to
injure
our
Benefactress
.
But
finding
the
Rock
to
open
in
that
place
,
our
Curiosity
led
us
to
enter
the
Hole
;
wherein
about
ten
paces
from
the
entrance
,
we
found
a
spacious
Hall
very
convenient
for
us
to
take
the
benefit
of
the
cool
Air.
The
rocky
part
was
so
odly
contrived
,
that
you
would
have
taken
it
for
the
Workmanship
of
a
Monk
of
Pic-Puz
,
had
you
been
near
Paris
.
The
bottom
of
the
Grotto
was
cleft
into
an
Ascent
,
the
first
steps
of
which
did
not
seem
very
uneasie
.
Thereupon
our
Curiosity
leading
us
further
,
Monthresor
strook
a
light
,
by
vertue
of
which
we
pursued
the
Ascent
for
about
half
a
quarter
of
an
Hour
with
some
difficulty
,
till
at
length
we
came
to
another
Hall
larger
and
fairer
than
that
below
.
Thence
we
passed
into
a
Gallery
that
led
into
several
others
,
very
much
resembling
those
of
Chinon
;
for
that
here
as
well
as
there
,
the
moisture
of
the
Earth
straining
it self
through
her
Veins
in
so
many
distinct
,
as
it
were
,
Springs
of
Water
,
transforms
it self
into
so
many
Chrystal
Pendants
,
sticking
and
crusted
to
the
Wall
,
like
so
many
little
Mirrours
,
in
a
concave
and
unequal
form
,
not
inferiour
to
the
Ice
flakes
of
Murrhan
,
which
are
polish'd
at
Venice
.
And
thus
Nature
having
,
as
it
were
in
Sport
,
shewn
us
what
she
can
do
alone
without
the
Assistance
of
Art
,
seem'd
to
teach
us
the
Original
of
Rivers
:
For
she
permits
the
remainder
of
this
matter
,
after
she
has
form'd
these
rare
Pieces
of
Workmanship
,
to
fall
partly
by
way
of
Distillation
from
the
point
of
a
confus'd
multitude
of
Pyramids
,
hanging
athwart
this
so
richly
frettiz'd
Ceiling
,
partly
trickling
from
the
glittering
Concave
upon
the
Pavement
that
receives
it
;
whence
the
whole
conveys
it self
into
several
Channels
to
be
thence
conducted
into
larger
Receptacles
,
situated
at
a
distance
one
from
another
,
till
it
come
to
the
last
and
largest
of
all
,
whence
it
unfolds
it self
like
a
Napkin
,
which
the
violence
of
the
Air
opens
as
it
hangs
,
till
at
length
it
descends
in
a
kind
of
small
Rain
,
colour'd
by
the
Reflection
of
the
Sun
that
shoots
in
through
the
hole
at
the
top
,
into
a
profound
Abyss
,
not
to
be
beheld
without
Terror
and
Amazement
.
These
Observations
put
me
out
of
doubt
,
that
that
same
Water
which
I
knew
to
be
a
ramassment
of
distilled
Drops
,
was
the
Water
that
originally
enlarg'd
the
Receptacle
first
mentioned
,
and
to
the
River
that
springs
from
it
.
Whence
I
concluded
that
all
other
Springs
have
the
same
original
;
whether
it
be
,
that
the
Air
condens'd
by
Cold
,
dissolve
into
moisture
;
or
whether
the
Earth
imbibe
this
Humour
by
filtration
,
or
otherwise
,
as
I
set
forth
in
my
new
System
of
Philosophy
.
And
thus
satisfied
with
a
sight
so
extraordinary
,
we
return'd
to
Aristides
,
to
whom
we
imparted
our
Discoveries
;
who
thereupon
would
needs
have
us
carry
our
Dinner
thither
,
to
the
end
we
might
have
the
pleasure
of
eating
in
such
a
delicious
Banquetting
house
.
The
21st
.
we
had
nothing
but
Plains
on
every
side
very
rich
in
Pasturage
,
which
was
the
reason
that
we
met
several
Shepherds
who
had
left
their
Tents
,
where
only
Night
requires
their
Attendance
.
The
23d
.
we
arrived
at
the
foot
of
a
Mountain
cover'd
with
Box
,
out
of
which
the
Lake
called
the
Swan's
Lake
,
discharges
it self
through
a
hole
about
ten
foot
below
the
top
,
among
the
Boughs
of
a
pleasant
Wood
;
where
Nature
has
so
ordered
the
sloping
of
the
Rock
,
that
sometimes
the
Water
spouts
forth
like
so
many
Waves
,
sometimes
spurts
out
like
a
Plume
of
Feathers
,
and
sometimes
like
an
Agret
;
afterwards
falling
all
of
a
sudden
,
like
a
Veil
,
through
the
sides
of
a
Demi-oval
,
eight
Foot
in
Diameter
,
it
throws
it self
into
a
neighbouring
River
,
which
in
Summer
is
the
delight
of
the
Shepherds
that
feed
their
Flocks
in
the
Meadows
which
it
waters
.
In
this
River
while
they
wash
their
Sheep
,
they
sport
with
their
Sheperdesses
;
every
one
cockering
and
caressing
his
own
Mistress
.
Which
done
,
they
fall
to
their
Musick
,
playing
several
Tunes
upon
Flutes
made
of
the
Rine
of
Willows
that
cover
the
Bank
;
upon
which
they
also
sit
while
they
asswage
the
hunger
which
their
bathing
has
excited
and
sharpen'd
,
putting
their
own
Victuals
altogether
.
One
day
they
gave
us
a
Visit
at
our
Imcampment
,
where
we
presented
them
with
several
Glass
Jewels
,
such
as
they
make
at
Nevers
,
in
lieu
of
which
,
they
brought
us
their
Provisions
,
more
than
our
Cart
would
carry
.
The
24th
.
we
came
to
a
Forest
,
out
of
which
there
issued
a
Beast
about
the
bigness
of
an
Elephant
,
which
it
resembled
in
every
thing
else
but
the
Proboscis
.
This
Beast
perceiving
us
,
recovered
the
Wood
,
where
I
could
see
him
feed
upon
the
tender
Branches
of
the
Trees
,
not
being
able
to
nibble
the
Grass
by
reason
of
the
tallness
of
his
head
.
Thereupon
judging
it
to
be
tame
,
I
went
up
to
it
,
and
offer'd
it
some
Wheat
in
the
Skirt
of
my
Coat
,
which
it
swallow'd
with
some
seeming
acknowledgment
for
my
kindness
,
and
kept
us
Company
all
the
time
we
staid
there
under
the
shade
of
the
Oakes
.
The
25th
.
we
made
a
full
stop
.
The
26th
.
being
advertised
by
Caraman
,
that
a
Company
of
neighbouring
Shepherds
were
packing
up
their
Tents
,
with
an
intention
to
change
their
post
,
and
that
we
should
be
very
welcome
in
their
Company
;
we
accepted
the
Proposal
,
as
well
to
continue
our
Journey
with
the
more
convenience
,
as
to
observe
the
Form
and
Custom
of
their
March
,
which
is
thus
:
The
day
before
the
Captain
gives
notice
by
the
found
of
a
Horn
,
that
they
are
to
be
ready
the
next
day
.
At
what
time
the
signal
is
no
sooner
given
(
so
punctual
they
are
)
but
they
begin
their
March
in
this
Order
.
First
moves
the
Standard
,
which
is
the
Head
of
Bull
crowned
with
Flowers
,
which
they
stick
upright
in
the
Ground
when
there
is
any
occasion
of
encamping
:
After
that
follow
the
Pipers
afoot
;
the
Captain
immediately
goes
before
the
Children
which
are
carried
in
Carts
,
with
their
Tutors
,
whose
business
it
is
to
have
an
inspection
into
their
Manners
;
next
the
Women
and
aged
People
carried
likewise
in
Carts
drawn
by
Bulls
,
for
they
have
no
Oxen
,
neither
is
it
their
Custom
to
geld
any
other
Creatures
,
detesting
above
all
things
that
sort
of
Mutilation
,
so
familiar
among
men
in
Italy
,
as
injurious
to
Nature
.
After
these
follow
the
men
in
the
full
vigour
of
their
years
,
together
with
the
Baggage
,
the
Guard
of
which
belongs
to
them
,
and
all
the
way
they
laugh
and
sing
,
and
sometimes
dance
.
Two
hours
before
night
they
make
a
stop
,
at
what
time
every
Master
of
a
Family
carries
what
Provision
is
necessary
to
his
own
People
in
the
Carts
.
We
followed
them
in
our
Cart
till
the
28.
at
what
time
we
took
our
leaves
,
because
they
resolv'd
to
tarry
,
and
we
resolv'd
to
go
farther
.
The
29th
.
we
met
with
several
Huntsmen
,
who
,
as
they
told
us
,
are
another
sort
of
wild
Tartars
,
who
feed
and
cloath
themselves
with
the
Flesh
and
Skins
of
the
Beasts
which
they
take
;
and
to
that
purpose
making
continual
War
upon
the
poor
Creatures
,
with
whom
they
combat
,
arm'd
with
a
Bow
and
a
Cutlace
:
Here
we
made
a
stop
,
and
after
Dinner
had
the
satisfaction
to
see
a
Tyger
pursued
by
two
of
these
Champions
.
So
soon
as
they
perceived
the
Beast
,
they
presently
let
fly
their
Arrows
against
him
,
of
which
the
first
flight
is
not
intended
to
do
him
any
great
harm
,
but
only
to
provoke
him
the
more
.
But
when
they
perceive
the
Beast
to
make
at
them
in
revenge
of
the
Injury
,
then
they
bestow
their
Arrows
upon
him
thick
and
three-fold
,
till
the
poor
Creature
having
received
several
Wounds
in
his
Body
,
is
forc'd
to
yield
.
At
what
time
one
of
the
Hunters
boldly
rushing
in
upon
him
,
cuts
off
his
Head
with
his
Cutlace
:
Sometimes
they
will
struggle
with
the
Beast
,
but
without
any
danger
,
for
that
they
are
very
nimble
,
and
never
alone
,
otherwise
the
Beast
would
have
the
Advantage
.
The
30th
.
we
passed
through
a
Hamlet
,
where
we
desired
Provisions
,
which
they
let
us
have
for
our
Money
.
Nevertheless
,
Monthresor
finding
himself
in
a
Venison-Country
,
resolv'd
to
taste
of
it
;
to
which
purpose
we
made
a
stop
about
Noon
,
and
after
a
short
Repast
,
he
began
to
beat
the
Fields
,
with
Carraman
in
his
Company
,
while
Aristides
and
my self
set
up
the
Tent
,
and
went
to
cut
Wood
for
our
Kitchen
.
Toward
Evening
our
Huntsmen
returned
loaden
with
Hares
,
Pheasants
,
and
Partridges
,
which
we
roasted
upon
a
woodden-Spit
,
and
feasted
our selves
that
Night
,
if
a
Feast
could
be
without
Wine
;
but
we
were
pretty
well
accustomed
by
this
time
to
want
it
.
The
first
of
May
we
set
forward
betimes
in
the
Morning
,
resolved
for
the
future
to
make
our
best
of
the
cool
of
the
day
,
finding
the
heats
to
be
very
incommodious
.
But
Monthresor
allur'd
with
the
Success
he
had
the
day
before
,
was
resolved
to
have
the
other
Hunting-Bout
together
with
his
Companion
,
whom
he
never
brought
back
again
.
For
the
poor
Tartar
was
surprised
by
a
Tyger
,
which
leaping
of
a
sudden
upon
him
,
gave
him
a
gripe
by
the
Neck
,
and
choak'd
him
before
his
Master
could
come
to
his
relief
,
who
nevertheless
revenged
his
Death
with
his
Scimitar
,
which
he
ran
full
into
the
Body
of
the
Beast
over
greedy
of
his
Prey
;
with
which
Wound
the
Tyger
died
,
only
giving
Monthresor
a
slight
Nip
in
the
Arm
,
which
did
not
hinder
the
Victor
however
from
fleaing
him
,
that
he
might
have
the
Spoils
of
his
Enemy
,
which
he
preferred
before
those
of
an
Aga.
By
this
accident
were
we
deprived
of
our
Speech
,
as
if
all
our
three
Tongues
had
been
cut
out
,
which
caused
us
to
bewail
our
Loss
so
much
the
more
,
because
we
thought
it
irreparable
.
We
were
now
to
renounce
the
Society
of
Men
,
unless
we
intended
only
to
appear
among
them
as
mute
Beasts
.
However
,
we
did
not
forbear
to
go
forward
,
in
hopes
of
some
lucky
Accident
before
we
had
spent
all
our
Victuals
,
with
which
we
were
furnish'd
for
eight
days
;
all
which
time
we
were
continually
upon
the
march
,
but
when
we
either
eat
or
slept
,
steering
our
course
all
along
directly
against
the
South-East
,
All-devour
serving
us
instead
of
a
Forerunner
,
attacquing
with
a
Heroick
Valour
all
that
came
in
his
way
.
But
the
most
famous
of
his
Exploits
was
this
:
A
very
fierce
Lyon
met
him
,
and
thought
to
have
terrified
him
with
his
roaring
;
but
All
devour
on
the
contrary
growls
,
barks
,
advances
,
and
having
joyn'd
him
at
four
leaps
,
nimbly
fixes
upon
his
back
,
and
presently
made
him
sensible
of
the
sharpness
of
his
Fangs
.
Thereupon
the
Lyon
endeavouring
to
shake
off
his
Burden
,
frisk'd
about
in
such
a
manner
,
that
he
threw
his
Rider
,
and
then
flew
open
jaw'd
upon
his
Antagonist
with
a
design
to
gripe
him
by
the
Neck
;
but
All-devour
prevented
him
;
fixing
his
Steelhorn
so
directly
in
the
Palate
of
his
Enemy
,
that
he
thrust
it
quite
through
and
through
.
But
then
Aristides
coming
in
seasonably
to
All
devour's
relief
,
put
an
end
to
the
Combat
with
his
Scimitar
,
unwilling
to
hazard
another
engagement
.
The
lovely
clear
Water
that
glided
along
by
the
side
of
a
Wood
whither
we
came
the
6th
.
of
May
,
invited
us
to
make
a
stop
.
And
here
it
was
that
Monthresor
,
notwithstanding
the
fatal
Misfortune
of
Carraman
,
and
all
our
friendly
Perswasions
to
the
contrary
,
would
needs
gratifie
that
extraordinary
Passion
which
he
had
for
Hunting
.
Thereupon
Aristides
being
resolv'd
to
keep
him
company
,
I
was
left
alone
to
get
ready
the
Lardings
against
their
return
:
And
I
had
the
more
hopes
of
his
Success
,
in
regard
that
All
devour
followed
his
Master
.
Nor
had
I
been
deceived
,
had
they
had
none
but
Beasts
to
contend
with
;
but
a
Destiny
far
different
attended
Monthresor
.
For
after
they
had
rang'd
about
for
some
hours
,
they
came
to
a
Lake
so
clear
and
clean
at
the
bottom
,
that
it
invited
both
,
being
heated
by
their
Exercise
,
and
scalding
heat
of
the
Sun
,
to
go
into
the
Lake
and
bathe
themselves
.
As
for
Aristides
because
he
could
not
swim
,
he
would
not
trust
himself
out
of
his
depth
,
using
only
a
medicinal
Bath
by
the
Banks
of
the
Lake
,
while
Monthresor
diverted
and
pleased
himself
with
cutting
the
smooth
and
liquid
Plain
through
all
its
Dimensions
.
He
tried
its
depth
by
diving
to
the
bottom
,
its
breadth
and
length
in
imitation
of
the
Frog
.
Sometimes
he
laid
himself
upon
his
Back
to
ease
himself
;
afterwards
resuming
the
use
of
his
Limbs
with
more
vigor
,
with
a
design
to
cross
the
Lake
,
he
met
with
a
Current
so
rapid
,
that
it
carried
him
to
the
entrance
of
a
Cavern
hollowed
under
the
Mountain
that
bordred
upon
one
side
of
the
Lake
,
where
he
vanish'd
of
a
sudden
from
Aristides's
sight
,
who
made
me
the
Relation
with
Tears
in
his
Eyes
for
the
Loss
of
a
Person
so
dear
to
him
.
I
spent
the
night
in
extremity
of
Sorrow
,
expecting
day-light
,
which
no
sooner
appear'd
,
but
I
went
and
viewed
exactly
the
several
Places
,
of
which
when
I
had
consider'd
all
the
Circumstances
,
I
despair'd
of
ever
seeing
my
Friend
again
.
The
Eighth
there
arose
such
a
furious
Tempest
,
accompany'd
with
Rain
and
Thunder
,
as
if
the
World
had
been
returning
to
its
first
Chaos
,
and
to
compleat
my
Miseries
,
I
had
the
Misfortune
to
see
Aristides
ranvers'd
to
the
Earth
by
a
Flash
of
Lightning
,
and
thrown
four
Paces
at
least
before
the
Cart
which
I
follow'd
;
I
threw
my self
upon
him
for
some
time
quite
senceless
;
but
then
recovering
my self
,
I
began
to
think
that
death
had
put
an
end
to
their
Miseries
,
and
that
the
end
of
my
Friends
Misfortunes
was
but
the
beginning
of
my
own
,
in
a
strange
Country
,
of
which
the
Language
and
Roads
were
to
me
unknown
,
without
assistance
,
without
support
,
without
Provisions
or
means
of
subsistance
.
'T
is
true
I
had
Gold
and
Jewels
both
of
my
own
and
of
my
deceas'd
Companions
;
but
I
neither
knew
how
to
trade
,
nor
how
to
agree
with
any
Person
that
could
bring
me
to
the
Sea-side
,
where
I
might
get
a
convenience
to
carry
me
back
into
my
own
Country
;
which
I
lookt
upon
as
my
best
way
.
At
last
considering
that
I
could
get
nothing
by
staying
where
I
was
,
I
resolv'd
in
the
first
place
to
pay
my
last
devoires
of
Burial
to
my
deceased
Friend
:
To
which
purpose
I
made
use
of
my
Sword
to
dig
a
grave
in
the
Earth
four
fingers
deep
,
where
I
laid
him
at
his
full
length
,
and
cover'd
him
with
the
same
Turf
which
I
had
par'd
off
:
For
by
our
discourses
together
,
I
understood
that
such
a
Sepulcher
pleas'd
him
best
;
for
he
did
not
like
that
Custom
of
the
Christians
to
bury
in
Churches
,
who
not
content
with
a
deep
Grave
,
cover
the
dead
Body
with
a
heavy
Free-stone
.
Whereas
,
said
he
,
it
is
much
better
to
carry
our
Carkases
into
the
Fields
,
where
their
substance
dissolving
,
and
serving
to
nourish
the
Plants
,
receives
a
kind
of
new
Life
;
by
which
means
the
wrong
done
to
Nature
by
Mortality
is
in
some
measure
repair'd
.
He
also
tax'd
of
sottishness
and
injustice
the
Custom
of
embalming
;
of
sottishness
,
because
that
Death
receives
no
benefit
by
it
:
of
injustice
because
it
defrauds
Nature
of
her
Rights
;
for
't
is
her
desire
that
the
Corruption
of
one
should
be
attended
by
the
Generation
of
another
,
to
which
Perfumes
are
an
Enemy
,
because
they
delay
the
Dissolution
of
the
Body
which
they
embalme
.
After
all
leaving
All-devoure
upon
his
Masters
Grave
,
from
whence
I
could
by
no
means
allure
him
,
I
resolv'd
to
abandon
my self
to
Fortune
,
and
to
the
guidance
of
the
Cows
;
which
I
determin'd
should
take
their
own
fancy
,
without
troubling
my self
any
farther
than
only
to
follow
them
:
In
which
distress
,
my
Provisions
failing
me
in
three
days
,
I
was
reduc'd
to
Milk
;
upon
which
I
liv'd
for
three
Weeks
together
,
wandring
through
Deserts
where
I
could
not
discern
the
least
print
of
human
Footstep
.
In
the
day
time
I
took
care
to
pick
up
all
the
Brush
Wood
and
dry
Sticks
I
could
find
to
make
a
Fire
in
the
night
,
which
I
understood
by
the
Tartars
the
wild
Beasts
would
never
approach
.
One
time
among
the
rest
meditating
like
a
Philosopher
,
I
came
to
a
Lake
,
the
deceitful
Banks
of
which
giving
way
to
my
Horses
Feet
,
we
fell
both
into
the
Water
,
which
was
of
an
ill
taste
,
and
began
to
fill
my
Mouth
.
Presently
I
threw
my self
off
my
Horse
toward
the
Land
,
and
laid
hold
of
the
first
Roots
I
could
light
upon
,
thinking
to
get
up
out
of
the
Water
,
but
they
being
too
weak
to
bear
my
weight
I
fell
in
again
;
nor
had
I
any
other
way
to
get
out
,
but
by
grasping
the
Mudd
,
and
so
taking
hold
of
other
Roots
stronger
than
the
former
,
by
which
means
I
drew
my self
to
the
Shore
.
So
full
was
I
of
my
Seneca
at
that
time
;
and
by
reading
him
become
so
familiar
with
Death
,
that
instead
of
being
affrighted
to
see
him
so
near
me
,
I
reason'd
with
my self
in
falling
,
with
the
same
Tranquillity
of
mind
as
I
could
have
done
at
the
greatest
distance
from
danger
.
My
Horse
had
the
Misfortune
to
remain
there
;
but
I
the
good
fortune
three
days
after
to
light
into
a
Country
well
manur'd
.
I
saw
that
the
Lands
were
till'd
,
and
fenc'd
with
Diches
as
in
Europe
,
that
the
Medows
were
Palizado'd
,
the
Vinyards
wall'd
about
,
and
a
little
farther
I
met
with
Gardens
and
Orchards
planted
according
to
Art.
This
change
of
the
Scene
put
me
in
hopes
that
I
should
suddenly
meet
with
Men
of
our
own
Fashions
.
And
with
these
hopes
I
still
went
on
,
when
by
and
by
I
came
to
a
place
where
I
heard
People
talk
on
the
orher
side
of
a
Wall.
Upon
which
I
made
a
stop
,
and
listning
understood
their
Language
to
be
Greek
.
What!
thought
I
to
my self
,
am
I
miraculously
transported
into
Greece
?
Thereupon
I
went
up
into
my
Cart
to
see
whither
I
could
discover
any
thing
like
to
what
I
had
heard
;
and
then
I
saw
People
weeding
a
Field
that
was
sown
with
Corn
,
and
planted
with
Vines
after
the
manner
of
Naples
.
At
first
I
took
time
to
consider
,
not
without
astonishment
,
that
Persons
who
had
nothing
of
a
Country
Meen
,
should
employ
themselves
in
Husbandry
.
I
rous'd
my self
,
I
felt
my self
,
and
yet
could
hardly
believe
my self
,
or
rather
I
could
not
believe
but
that
I
dreamt
,
or
that
my
Life
had
been
only
a
Dream
,
till
this
very
Moment
.
However
at
length
I
opened
my
Lips
and
saluted
the
Gentlemen
with
a
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
or
God
save
ye
.
Thereupon
they
star'd
upon
me
,
and
I
ask'd
them
in
what
Country
I
was
?
In
the
Territories
of
Heliopolis
,
cry'd
they
,
and
you
are
welcome
.
Thereupon
I
made
them
a
short
Relation
of
my
Misfortunes
;
upon
which
one
of
the
Company
by
consent
of
the
rest
came
to
me
,
and
undertaking
to
drive
my
Cart
,
brought
me
to
a
Country
House
,
about
Five
hunder'd
Paces
distant
;
where
so
soon
as
we
came
into
the
first
Court
,
another
took
my
Cows
and
led
them
to
the
Stable
,
while
my
Guide
carry'd
me
into
the
House
,
the
neatness
of
which
,
together
with
the
Gaietry
of
the
People
charm'd
me
at
first
sight
;
nor
did
they
delay
to
bring
me
in
Refreshments
immediately
.
Judge
you
whether
I
were
not
overjoy'd
at
a
happiness
so
unexpected
,
and
whether
I
did
not
with
Pleasure
behold
the
Wine
in
the
Glasses
,
not
having
tasted
any
in
so
long
time
before
.
The
Collation
being
ended
,
I
was
conducted
into
a
Chamber
,
where
they
told
me
I
might
take
my
Repose
at
leisure
,
and
make
use
of
the
Conveniencies
of
the
Lodging
as
long
as
I
pleas'd
.
Thereupon
seeing
the
Bed
handsom
and
decently
adorn'd
,
as
much
weary
as
I
was
,
I
made
haste
into
it
,
and
lay
till
the
next
morning
very
late
.
In
this
delightful
Mansion
I
spent
three
days
,
amidst
the
Innocent
Sports
of
a
most
Charming
Youthfulness
,
with
which
they
intermix'd
the
Labours
of
Country
Husbandry
,
while
the
young
Virgins
and
Lads
met
every
Evening
to
sing
,
dance
,
and
play
together
at
Colin-Maillard
or
Blind-man's
Buff
;
while
such
as
were
more
seriously
dispos'd
more
seriously
entertain'd
each
other
.
For
they
had
all
the
Liberty
to
do
what
they
pleas'd
,
in
regard
there
were
none
that
would
abuse
their
Liberty
;
so
vertuous
were
their
Inclinations
by
the
means
of
good
Education
,
with
which
they
were
season'd
in
their
tender
years
.
Callisthenes
,
the
Master
of
the
Society
kept
me
Company
continually
;
so
that
whether
the
Duty
of
his
Office
oblig'd
him
to
go
abroad
,
or
whether
he
had
a
desire
himself
to
take
a
walk
,
he
would
still
have
me
to
make
one
.
So
that
I
had
the
leisure
to
inform
my self
touching
the
Original
and
Government
of
this
Petty
State
;
of
which
that
Noble
Gentleman
gave
me
an
Accompt
,
with
that
neatness
which
I
am
not
able
to
imitate
.
Sir
,
said
he
,
since
it
is
your
intention
to
sojourn
here
for
some
time
,
and
that
you
have
laid
your
design
to
visit
our
Chief
City
.
I
will
pass
by
several
things
,
which
you
will
be
able
to
observe
of
your self
,
contenting
my self
to
dispose
your
Mind
to
the
understanding
of
what
you
shall
see
,
by
an
exact
Relation
of
our
Establishment
and
Policy
.
After
the
Death
of
Alexander
,
his
Courtiers
shar'd
his
Empire
among
themselves
,
and
Govern'd
it
after
a
manner
so
far
from
the
Intentions
of
that
Prince
,
who
always
had
a
most
particular
esteem
for
Philosophers
,
that
they
not
able
to
endure
the
Tyranny
of
his
Ministers
,
after
a
Consultation
becoming
their
Wisdom
,
forsook
Athens
,
carrying
their
Families
along
with
them
,
to
settle
themselves
in
some
part
of
the
World
,
which
they
could
find
more
Comodious
for
them
,
and
there
to
live
under
Laws
,
of
which
themselves
were
the
first
Founders
,
and
which
we
observe
to
this
day
.
The
rest
of
the
Wise
Men
of
Greece
being
inform'd
of
this
design
were
desirous
to
be
of
the
Company
,
and
all
together
carry
along
with
them
what
they
had
of
most
precious
Value
,
more
especially
the
Books
which
you
will
see
in
the
great
Library
at
Heliopolis
.
Thus
having
without
danger
cross'd
the
Seas
that
separate
us
from
our
Ancient
Country
,
so
soon
as
they
got
a
shore
and
saw
the
Land
inhabited
,
they
deem'd
it
a
horrible
attempt
to
expel
the
Inhabitants
,
only
they
desir'd
free
passage
,
which
was
granted
them
,
and
so
they
went
forward
,
being
resolv'd
to
make
War
upon
none
,
unless
thereto
provok'd
;
nor
to
settle
in
any
place
to
the
prejudice
of
the
Ancient
Possessors
,
though
they
might
have
done
it
,
as
being
sufficiently
numerous
,
and
well
provided
with
Arms.
After
they
had
wander'd
two
Years
and
two
Months
,
at
length
they
came
to
this
Sunny
Region
,
which
when
they
found
abandon'd
,
here
they
stopp'd
,
and
satisfi'd
themselves
with
the
Fruits
which
they
found
growing
here
and
there
among
the
Plants
,
that
Nature
voluntarily
produc'd
,
the
same
upon
which
we
live
at
this
day
;
tho'
perhaps
somewhat
bettter
,
through
the
Industry
of
our
Progenitors
,
who
grubb'd
up
the
Lands
,
and
in
process
of
time
brought
them
to
that
Perfection
,
wherein
we
still
preserve
them
.
They
shared
the
pains
and
labour
of
Tillage
one
among
another
,
every
one
according
to
his
best
Skill
,
making
use
of
the
Instruments
and
knowledge
which
they
had
brought
along
with
them
;
some
for
planting
Vinyards
,
others
for
sowing
,
others
for
forging
the
Smiths
work
,
and
others
for
building
and
Architecture
.
When
they
either
cut
or
grubb'd
up
the
Wood
,
they
did
not
so
destroy
it
,
but
that
they
reserv'd
at
convenient
distances
,
enough
for
Firing
,
or
for
other
uses
;
having
divided
the
Country
,
which
in
Diameter
is
Four
hunder'd
and
fourscore
Furlongs
,
which
is
Fifty
nine
English
Miles
,
into
as
many
Cantons
and
Country
Seats
,
as
it
contains
at
this
day
.
Afterwards
they
built
a
City
in
the
very
Navel
of
their
Teritory
,
for
the
seat
or
residence
of
the
Soul
of
this
Mysterious
Body
,
from
the
middle
equally
to
influence
all
the
Parts
of
its
Circumference
.
This
City
they
call'd
Heliopolis
in
Honour
of
the
Sun
,
which
we
believe
to
be
the
Center
of
the
World
,
and
the
Heart
from
which
those
Spirits
flow
that
enliven
it
.
After
that
,
they
took
into
Consideration
all
the
Forms
of
Government
of
which
they
had
any
knowledge
,
either
by
their
own
experience
or
by
reading
,
and
observing
the
defects
of
each
,
they
thought
it
more
to
the
purpose
to
cull
out
of
every
one
what
they
deem'd
to
be
most
profitable
,
taking
the
liberty
to
add
or
deminish
,
as
they
thought
it
most
suitable
for
the
Common
Good
,
as
aiming
to
Erect
this
their
Body
of
Government
upon
the
Pattern
and
Foundation
of
a
Family
well
order
.
To
this
purpose
they
agreed
upon
a
General
Assembly
,
where
all
the
Men
above
thirty
years
should
have
a
Right
to
vote
:
So
that
of
twelve
thousand
Souls
,
which
made
up
the
whole
Body
,
three
thousand
were
privileg'd
to
be
at
the
Assembly
,
partly
Philosophers
,
partly
of
other
Professions
who
had
run
the
same
Risco
,
either
for
Affection
or
Interest
.
Out
of
these
three
they
made
choice
of
a
thousand
,
to
whom
they
submitted
the
Determination
of
all
their
Concerns
,
having
so
great
a
Veneration
for
them
,
that
they
believ'd
them
Infallible
.
But
afterwards
considering
that
the
number
was
too
great
,
they
chose
rather
to
lose
their
share
which
they
had
in
the
Soveraign
Government
of
a
growing
Republick
,
than
to
expose
it
to
Confusion
,
which
usually
happens
,
when
a
number
too
vast
is
therein
concern'd
.
Thereupon
they
reduc'd
their
number
to
three
hundred
,
to
whom
they
surrender'd
the
whole
Authority
which
had
been
surrender'd
to
them
by
the
General
Assembly
.
Which
three
hundred
being
convinc'd
of
the
necessity
of
a
President
or
Chief
,
made
choice
of
Misargyre
,
whom
they
invested
with
an
Authority
to
make
Laws
,
and
to
call
together
the
Council
for
their
Approbation
.
This
Philosopher
,
not
so
much
reverenc'd
for
his
Age
,
as
for
the
integrity
of
his
manners
,
which
was
known
to
all
the
People
,
found
little
or
no
difficulty
to
establish
what
he
thought
most
convenient
;
nor
did
he
propose
any
thing
but
what
was
highly
to
be
applauded
.
And
therefore
having
summon'd
a
Council
about
eight
days
after
,
he
thus
deliver'd
himself
.
Gentlemen
,
having
retired
both
my self
and
my
own
Thoughts
,
that
I
might
discharge
the
Trust
to
me
committed
,
instead
of
pursuing
the
usual
Stratagem
of
Legislators
,
who
were
wont
to
feign
Familiarity
with
the
Gods
,
thereby
to
oblige
the
People
to
a
veneration
of
their
Laws
,
I
have
seriously
examin'd
the
various
Thoughts
that
turmoil'd
my
mind
,
to
make
a
choice
of
Constitutions
,
and
thereupon
have
reduc'd
them
all
to
one
single
Law
,
the
only
Law
that
ever
I
heard
of
in
all
my
life
,
and
which
I
believe
to
be
understood
by
all
that
are
endued
with
a
clear
Understanding
;
and
this
is
the
Law
of
Nature
,
imprinted
in
our
Hearts
,
confess'd
and
acknowledged
by
all
those
who
have
not
a
Reason
perverted
and
disordered
by
their
Passions
;
and
therefore
to
come
to
the
Mark
at
which
every
good
Legislator
chiefly
ought
to
aim
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
maintaining
of
Peace
among
this
People
,
who
have
willingly
submitted
themselves
under
our
Conduct
,
I
think
it
sufficient
incessantly
to
admonish
them
to
follow
the
Lustre
of
that
Flambeau
which
enlightens
them
to
obey
Reason
,
and
above
all
the
lovely
Precept
which
that
divine
Mistress
infuses
into
the
Breast
of
all
Men.
The
Nature
of
man
is
his
Reason
.
Does
not
she
alone
teach
every
particular
man
not
to
do
to
another
what
he
would
not
have
done
to
himself
?
Now
this
Command
alone
being
punctually
observ'd
,
is
not
this
alone
sufficient
to
preserve
peace
among
men
?
And
therefore
let
it
be
sufficient
for
us
to
ordain
,
That
the
most
prudent
among
us
be
oblig'd
to
undeceive
all
those
,
in
whom
false
Mistakes
and
Prejudices
have
stifled
the
Sentiments
which
Nature
inspires
into
us
,
for
by
this
means
we
shall
avoid
multitude
of
Laws
,
and
the
Trash
and
Trumpery
of
Process
that
attends
them
.
Now
there
is
no
need
of
publishing
this
Law
of
our
Reason
,
it
is
already
within
us
:
But
in
regard
the
Employments
of
Life
,
or
our
Passions
veiling
and
clouding
our
Understandings
,
hinder
several
from
taking
notice
of
it
,
my
Opinion
is
to
publish
a
Decree
,
That
every
Master
of
a
Family
have
fairly
written
in
large
Characters
,
and
in
the
most
conspicuous
part
of
his
House
these
two
words
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
Follow
Nature
,
to
the
end
that
being
always
thus
in
view
,
it
may
be
never
out
of
their
Memory
.
Let
us
also
make
another
Decree
,
That
our
Children
be
well
educated
in
pursuance
of
this
Law.
Let
them
be
taught
betimes
,
in
the
first
place
,
that
by
it
all
Civil
and
Criminal
Processes
ought
to
be
determined
,
according
to
the
Sentence
of
those
wise
Men
,
with
whom
the
Office
and
Dignity
of
the
Magistracy
is
entrusted
.
Then
having
divided
all
the
People
into
four
distinct
Classes
,
of
Children
to
the
Age
of
seven
years
;
of
Youths
,
till
eighteen
;
of
young
Men
,
till
thirty
;
and
of
Men
in
their
perfection
,
from
thirty
to
the
end
of
their
lives
,
he
ordain'd
that
the
first
should
remain
purely
under
the
tuition
of
their
Parents
,
who
besides
their
instructing
them
in
good
Manners
,
should
also
teach
them
to
read
:
That
from
thence
they
should
be
sent
to
the
several
Schools
,
there
to
be
instructed
by
Masters
chosen
by
the
Council
,
in
the
liberal
Arts
,
in
Military
Discipline
,
and
in
Moral
and
Natural
Philosophy
:
That
such
as
should
be
deem'd
uncapable
of
learning
the
Sciences
,
should
be
put
to
Trades
and
Manufactures
most
suitable
to
their
Genius's
;
for
certain
it
is
,
that
Nature
,
besides
an
inclination
to
Arts
,
furnishes
us
also
with
Faculties
necessary
to
attain
those
Arts.
That
being
arriv'd
to
the
Age
of
the
third
Classis
,
they
should
be
sent
to
the
Country-Houses
,
where
after
they
had
serv'd
twelve
years
under
the
Directions
of
a
Governour
deputed
by
the
Council
,
they
should
return
to
the
City
to
be
married
,
and
then
to
spend
the
rest
of
their
days
in
Peace
and
Tranquility
.
That
the
young
Virgins
also
should
be
brought
up
in
Schools
apart
,
and
instructed
in
Arts
most
suitable
to
their
Sex
,
then
sent
into
the
Country
for
the
Country
husbanding
,
under
the
care
of
a
Mistress
who
should
be
answerable
for
their
Education
to
the
Council
;
with
this
difference
only
,
that
they
should
serve
no
longer
than
only
twenty
five
years
of
age
,
and
then
to
be
sent
home
to
their
Parents
to
be
married
at
their
discretion
,
preferring
before
all
,
the
Persons
to
whom
they
shall
have
engag'd
their
Affections
in
the
Country
,
whose
Dispositions
they
have
more
reason
to
know
than
those
of
others
whom
they
never
saw
in
their
lives
.
Then
considering
that
differences
among
Citizens
generally
proceed
from
disputes
about
Property
,
it
was
ordain'd
,
That
every
thing
should
be
in
Common
;
and
that
there
should
be
Magazines
in
several
Quarters
of
the
City
;
whence
there
should
be
a
distribution
made
of
all
things
necessary
for
Food
and
Rayment
.
They
also
enacted
several
other
Laws
and
Constitutions
,
of
which
you
will
sufficiently
be
inform'd
if
you
make
any
stay
among
us
.
He
also
propos'd
to
continue
this
number
of
three
hundred
,
the
members
of
which
should
be
call'd
Wise
Men
:
That
thirty
of
the
most
ancient
of
this
number
receiv'd
,
should
be
of
the
standing
Council
,
to
the
Assistance
of
which
the
rest
should
be
called
upon
extraordinary
Occasions
,
when
the
thirty
should
think
it
expedient
;
and
that
these
thirty
should
have
for
their
President
the
most
ancient
among
them
,
who
should
be
also
the
chief
Person
in
the
State
;
and
that
when
one
Place
fell
vacant
,
it
should
be
fill'd
up
with
the
most
ancient
of
the
hundred
and
seventy
,
and
his
place
should
be
supplied
by
one
chosen
by
the
Thirty
.
All
this
was
approved
by
the
three
hundred
;
and
to
the
end
these
Constitutions
might
remain
inviolable
to
perpetuity
,
as
the
fundamental
Law
of
the
Kingdom
,
they
summon'd
together
once
more
the
General
Assembly
,
who
having
heard
these
Constitutions
read
,
subscrib'd
them
without
the
least
Hesitation
,
promising
to
observe
and
defend
them
with
their
lives
;
and
unanimously
pronouncing
an
Anathema
upon
all
such
as
hereafter
prove
refractary
and
disobedient
;
that
is
to
say
,
the
Curse
of
Banishment
,
which
is
indeed
the
only
Punishment
that
we
inflict
for
the
highest
Crimes
,
and
which
we
fear
more
than
Death
.
So
that
of
three
of
our
Citizens
that
have
been
condemn'd
in
all
since
the
first
settlement
of
our
Commonwealth
,
to
this
present
time
,
there
was
not
one
but
would
have
rather
chosen
to
have
been
his
own
Executioner
,
than
to
have
been
expell'd
his
Country
by
perpetual
Banishment
.
Misangyres
also
presently
gave
testimony
of
the
sincerity
of
his
Soul
by
his
submission
to
those
Ordinances
which
he
had
made
;
for
that
in
regard
he
was
not
the
most
ancient
of
the
Society
,
he
surrendred
his
Presidentship
to
his
Senior
:
but
it
was
answer'd
him
,
That
as
to
that
particular
,
the
Law
was
not
to
take
place
till
after
his
Death
,
and
so
oblig'd
him
to
keep
his
Station
.
From
that
time
forward
the
Thirty
have
been
Soveraign
Rulers
in
all
affairs
both
private
and
publick
.
The
rest
are
entrusted
with
the
Superintendency
over
the
Tribes
,
and
Inspection
into
the
Schools
,
the
Manufactures
and
Magazines
.
They
are
also
the
first
Judges
of
all
differences
that
arise
within
the
several
Cantons
where
they
dwell
,
from
whom
because
they
are
look'd
upon
as
they
are
,
to
be
Persons
of
great
Equity
and
Integrity
,
you
shall
very
rarely
hear
of
any
Appeals
to
the
Thirty
from
their
Determinations
.
This
Discourse
gave
me
so
great
an
Idea
of
the
City
,
that
I
most
earnestly
desir'd
him
to
vouchsafe
me
an
occasion
of
seeing
it
with
the
first
opportunity
.
Thereupon
,
to
morrow
,
said
he
,
I
shall
send
away
the
Carts
according
to
order
,
by
which
means
you
will
have
the
opportunity
of
going
along
with
my
Deputy
,
to
whom
I
will
give
order
to
be
your
Guide
,
and
to
present
you
to
the
Wise-man
of
this
Precinct
,
who
will
take
care
of
your
person
.
These
Waggons
which
are
built
much
after
the
manner
of
Holland
,
are
drawn
by
Bulls
that
bear
the
mark
of
the
Country-house
that
sends
them
,
and
of
the
Tribe
to
which
they
belong
;
and
after
they
have
deliver'd
their
Provisions
into
the
Magazines
,
they
carry
back
what
is
contain'd
in
the
Governour
or
Archon's
Note
,
for
the
Service
of
the
Farm
,
together
with
such
Parents
as
have
a
desire
to
see
their
Children
,
as
also
sick
Persons
,
to
whom
change
of
Air
is
prescribed
for
their
recovery
.
Having
therefore
taken
leave
of
the
Archon
,
whom
I
presented
with
a
Case
of
English
Knives
with
Oriental
Agate
Handles
embellish'd
with
Gold
;
I
took
the
first
Waggon
,
and
plac'd
my self
next
to
the
Deputy
,
who
drove
the
Waggon
in
a
Seat
covered
over
,
and
large
enough
to
hold
three
Persons
with
ease
.
The
way
,
which
is
about
five
and
twenty
miles
,
or
two
hundred
Furlongs
,
according
to
their
measure
,
to
me
seem'd
very
short
,
as
well
through
the
learned
Discourse
of
the
Waggoner
,
as
for
the
Diversity
of
Objects
which
presented
themselves
to
me
in
this
enchanted
Country
.
We
baited
at
all
the
Country-houses
upon
the
Road
,
and
were
treated
with
Dancing
and
Musick
.
There
is
not
one
navigable
River
in
all
the
Country
,
but
a
great
number
of
small
Streams
and
Brooks
,
of
which
some
have
Water
enough
to
turn
their
Corn-mills
and
Paper-mills
.
They
have
no
high
Mountains
,
but
only
some
few
Hillocks
,
fertile
in
Wine
and
Oil
,
which
set
forth
the
Beauty
of
the
Plains
,
like
precious
Stones
enchas'd
in
Gold-smiths
Work.
The
Soil
yields
fifteen
for
one
,
and
the
goodness
of
the
Pasturage
discovers
it self
by
the
excellent
taste
of
their
meat
.
The
Philosopher
caress'd
me
with
more
than
ordinary
Civility
,
and
carried
me
to
the
Foresteria
,
or
Foreigner's
Lodge
,
which
is
a
House
built
at
one
of
the
ends
of
the
Town
adjoining
to
the
Manufacturies
and
Schools
,
where
strangers
are
entertain'd
,
and
their
Expences
honourably
defray'd
.
The
first
two
days
,
besides
the
days
of
arrival
and
departure
,
they
feast
very
splendidly
;
but
if
the
Stranger
stays
any
longer
,
he
is
treated
as
a
Citizen
:
Though
to
say
the
truth
,
they
are
not
much
troubled
with
Strangers
,
for
very
few
travel
thither
,
for
that
the
Europeans
,
who
are
the
greatest
Travellers
in
the
World
,
have
no
knowledge
of
the
place
;
either
imagining
that
there
is
nothing
so
beautiful
in
Tartary
,
or
that
the
difficulties
of
travelling
thither
are
unsurmountable
.
However
,
there
was
in
the
City
when
I
was
there
,
a
Muscovite
of
Astracan
,
two
Tartars
and
one
Persian
,
whom
meer
chance
had
brought
thither
as
well
as
my self
.
The
Reports
of
my
Arrival
being
spread
among
the
Philosophers
,
I
never
wanted
Company
,
which
the
rarity
of
the
Accident
brought
to
visit
me
.
They
told
me
that
they
had
not
seen
in
their
City
before
sixty
years
together
any
of
the
third
Part
of
the
Continent
which
we
inhabit
,
and
which
they
only
know
by
means
of
the
ancient
Geography
,
but
one
;
which
Person
was
a
Frenchman
who
died
three
Months
after
his
Arrival
,
with
a
Surfeit
of
Champignons
and
new
Wine
,
which
he
drank
to
excess
,
it
being
then
Vintage-time
.
Upon
that
I
told
them
,
that
I
was
likewise
a
Frenchman
,
which
put
them
into
a
Laughter
,
because
they
said
my
Language
spoke
the
contrary
;
for
that
as
they
said
,
they
had
in
their
Library
a
Book
that
they
found
in
stripping
a
deceas'd
Pilgrim
,
wherein
they
saw
nothing
that
resembl'd
my
speech
.
'T
is
true
,
Gentlemen
,
said
I
,
that
in
France
they
speak
otherwise
than
I
do
,
for
I
understand
the
Greek
which
I
learn'd
by
my
own
endeavours
,
out
of
a
natural
inclination
which
I
had
for
a
Language
that
was
formerly
spoken
by
the
most
excellent
People
in
the
World.
But
of
all
that
came
to
visit
me
at
my
first
coming
,
Persons
of
Wit
and
and
Learning
,
Eugenes
was
the
Person
toward
whom
my
Affection
most
enclin'd
,
as
being
one
whose
humour
I
found
to
be
most
agreeable
with
mine
.
Thereupon
I
enter'd
into
a
strict
League
of
Friendship
with
him
,
so
that
whether
at
our
Recreations
or
our
Studies
we
never
forsook
each
other
.
Which
he
might
the
more
easily
do
,
in
regard
that
being
,
by
reason
of
his
Youth
,
excluded
from
the
management
of
publick
Affairs
,
he
was
the
more
at
leisure
.
So
that
he
was
my
constant
Guide
,
wherever
my
Curiosity
led
me
.
In
the
first
place
he
carry'd
me
to
a
Pillar
built
much
like
the
Monument
in
London
,
but
rising
higher
,
from
whence
I
could
take
a
full
view
of
the
City
.
It
is
seated
in
a
Plain
,
water'd
within
and
without
with
several
Rivulets
of
Running
Water
.
The
Houses
are
Low-built
,
all
but
the
publick
Buildings
;
which
because
they
take
up
a
larger
extent
of
Ground
than
the
private
Houses
,
generally
over
look
them
.
But
none
either
publick
or
private
are
above
two
Stories
high
.
The
Figure
of
it
is
round
,
and
it
is
about
three
good
Miles
in
Diameter
,
without
Walls
,
defended
only
by
a
single
Moat
,
which
is
fed
by
the
Rivers
that
water
it
both
within
and
without
.
From
this
high
Pillar
I
had
also
a
Prospect
of
all
the
pleasant
Country
round
about
in
its
most
beautiful
Trim
;
as
also
of
the
Country
Houses
scatter'd
up
and
down
at
equal
distances
,
like
a
Fleet
of
Ships
upon
the
Ocean
in
a
Calm
,
or
like
so
many
Stars
in
the
Firmament
in
a
serene
Season
.
About
Two
hundred
Miles
from
hence
,
they
that
have
a
very
quick
sight
may
discern
a
Chain
of
Mountains
,
which
by
reason
of
the
vastness
of
the
distance
,
seem
to
be
embody'd
with
the
Clouds
themselves
.
And
thus
having
consider'd
the
City
in
general
,
we
descended
to
view
it
in
particular
.
It
is
divided
into
three
Quarters
or
Wards
,
of
which
the
first
in
the
heart
of
the
City
,
derives
its
name
from
the
Sun
,
the
second
from
the
Council
,
and
the
third
from
the
Schools
.
The
Streets
are
wide
,
clean
and
streight
,
like
those
of
Amsterdam
,
but
without
Trees
;
and
instead
of
Filthy
Kennels
it
is
stor'd
with
Rivers
that
carry
away
the
nastiness
of
the
Street
,
and
all
uncleanness
from
the
City
.
As
well
the
Piazza's
as
the
Streets
are
adorn'd
with
Portico's
like
Boligna
,
as
neat
and
elegant
as
the
Cloister
of
the
Chartrena
at
Pavia
.
So
that
you
may
walk
about
your
Business
at
all
Seasons
free
from
the
annoyance
of
heat
or
rain
.
The
Roof
of
these
Portico's
is
supported
by
Pillars
without
,
and
Pilasters
within
(
I
mean
adjoining
to
the
Wall
it self
of
the
Houses
)
of
the
Dorick
Order
,
in
the
Council
Ward
;
of
the
Ionick
Order
in
the
Schools
Ward
;
and
of
the
Corinthian
in
the
Ward
of
the
Sun.
The
Doors
and
Windows
observe
the
same
Symmetry
.
The
tops
of
their
Houses
are
cover'd
with
Lead
,
in
a
Figure
of
a
Duomo
,
ending
with
a
Cuppola
of
Copper
all
gilt
over
.
The
Gutters
also
being
gilded
are
laid
upon
a
Balister
of
hard
Stone
,
between
the
Windows
of
which
they
discharge
the
Rain
Water
into
the
Rivulets
underneath
.
Every
House
has
a
Garden
belonging
to
it
on
the
back
side
,
with
a
Fountain
,
causing
a
delicate
Prospect
at
the
Entrance
.
And
both
the
Streets
and
Portico's
are
so
order'd
,
that
the
back
sides
of
the
Houses
face
each
other
the
Gardens
lying
between
,
only
parted
by
a
Rail
,
from
on
both
sides
there
is
a
continual
fall
of
clear
Water
from
the
Mouth
of
some
Antick
Figure
or
other
.
In
the
middle
of
the
Piazza
of
the
Suns
Ward
,
which
is
Six
hundred
Paces
in
Diameter
,
there
stands
a
Structure
like
the
Pantheon
at
Rome
,
with
this
addition
that
it
is
surrounded
with
a
Portico
,
supported
with
Columns
of
Porphyry
,
the
Chapter
and
Bases
of
which
are
gilt
.
There
are
four
entrances
into
it
at
four
opposite
Doors
fronting
the
four
Cardinal
Points
;
and
the
coming
to
it
is
through
as
many
Gutters
leading
to
the
Circumference
of
the
Grand
Portico
of
the
Piazza
.
The
Roof
opens
in
the
middle
,
as
well
to
give
light
to
that
Pompous
Enclosure
,
as
to
give
vent
to
the
Perfumes
that
are
burnt
therein
.
In
the
Body
of
the
Wall
under
that
part
where
the
Roof
begins
to
rise
,
are
Three
hundred
and
sixty
round
holes
,
answering
to
the
Three
hundred
and
sixty
degrees
of
the
Ecliptick
,
to
mark
out
the
Point
of
the
Zodiack
which
the
Sun
touches
every
day
above
the
Earth
,
which
according
to
their
Opinion
moves
and
not
the
Sun
,
whom
they
will
have
to
be
fix'd
to
the
Center
of
the
World.
This
vast
Cupola
is
rear'd
up
into
the
Air
with
a
double
row
of
Alabaster
Pillars
,
of
the
Order
of
the
Caryatides
;
the
workmanship
most
delicate
,
the
Drapery
of
Gold
,
and
the
Base
of
the
same
,
upon
a
Pedestal
of
Jasper
.
The
Frize
enrich'd
with
Releifs
of
Gold
,
having
its
Corniche
also
of
Alabaster
,
is
surmounted
with
a
Balister
of
the
same
Metal
.
The
Counter
Pilasters
of
the
Corridore
are
proportionable
to
the
beauty
of
the
Columns
,
their
hollow
spaces
being
fill'd
up
with
Serpentine
,
as
is
the
whole
Concavity
of
the
Duomo
with
Lapis
Lazuli
,
the
most
beautiful
that
ever
I
saw
in
the
most
curious
Cabinets
in
Italy
.
From
the
Center
of
the
Pavement
which
is
of
Alabaster
as
white
as
Snow
,
rise
three
round
Steps
of
Steel
,
adorn'd
with
Arabick
Figures
of
Report
,
also
of
Gold
,
which
frame
the
Base
of
a
Tripos
all
of
massy
Gold
,
enchas'd
with
precious
Stones
,
of
which
the
upper
most
Figure
,
like
an
Eagles
Head
,
bears
a
little
Perfumer
of
Gold
likewise
,
to
which
Rubies
and
Diamonds
contribute
such
a
Lustre
,
as
dazles
the
Eyes
of
the
Beholder
.
The
uppermost
of
the
Steps
publishes
also
the
Magnificence
of
the
Person
,
that
presented
so
rich
a
Jewel
to
the
Republick
,
by
this
Inscription
in
Letters
of
Gold
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
.
The
Gift
of
Chosores
King
of
the
Persians
.
The
Circle
of
Gold
that
surrounds
the
Overture
of
the
Duomo
,
spreads
his
Beams
of
the
same
Metal
upon
the
lead
that
covers
it
without
.
Astonish'd
at
so
much
Riches
,
I
could
hardly
believe
my
own
Eyes
.
But
my
Guide
gave
me
to
understand
that
the
Quarries
that
afforded
the
Marble
which
adorn'd
this
sumptuous
Temple
,
were
not
far
distant
.
And
then
considering
with
my self
,
that
that
same
Luxury
which
ruins
larger
and
more
Potent
States
than
this
,
was
banish'd
hence
,
I
began
to
think
,
that
in
so
many
Ages
they
might
have
probably
heap'd
together
so
much
Gold
as
I
saw
.
From
thence
I
went
to
the
Piazza
of
the
Schools
,
where
stands
a
Fountain
adorn'd
with
a
larger
Aigret
than
both
those
together
in
the
Vatican
:
And
the
fall
of
the
Water
like
Dew
,
is
so
artfully
contriv'd
,
that
the
Beams
of
the
Sun
continually
form
in
the
drisling
Rain
the
Daughter
of
Thaumantes
.
The
Piazza
of
the
Council
Ward
was
adorn'd
with
a
more
Magnificent
Fountain
representing
the
Celestial
Sphear
,
supported
by
a
Column
of
Granate
Stone
;
so
conformable
to
the
Systeme
of
Copernicus
,
that
I
began
to
think
that
some
of
his
Followers
had
communicated
his
design
to
these
Philosophers
;
but
they
told
me
that
the
same
Doctrine
had
taken
Root
in
their
Schools
above
a
thousand
years
before
;
and
that
as
for
Copernicus
they
had
never
so
much
as
heard
of
his
Name
.
The
Globe
of
the
Sun
,
which
makes
the
Center
from
all
the
Points
of
its
Convexity
,
casts
an
infinite
number
of
watry
Beams
,
with
which
it
besprinkles
the
Earth
;
the
Moon
,
withal
the
rest
of
the
Planets
,
and
all
the
Parts
of
the
Spherical
Concavity
,
whence
the
same
Beams
descend
like
Rain
into
a
Receptacle
fashion'd
like
a
Roman
S
or
Oget
in
Architecture
,
made
of
a
Stone
so
hard
that
they
were
twelve
years
before
they
could
hollow
and
polish
it
.
In
this
Piazza
live
the
Thirty
,
who
assemble
every
Morning
in
the
hall
of
the
Grand
Palace
,
either
to
do
Justice
to
particular
Persons
,
or
to
consult
about
the
publick
Affairs
.
If
the
President
be
indispos'd
,
the
most
Ancient
next
to
him
presides
;
and
they
Summon
the
Senior
of
the
Two
hunder'd
and
seventy
to
supply
the
number
of
the
Thirty
.
There
are
neither
Proctors
nor
Notaries
,
nor
Advocates
to
be
seen
in
this
Place
,
every
one
Pleads
for
himself
.
But
if
they
find
the
Person
to
be
uncapable
to
Plead
for
himself
,
he
has
liberty
to
bring
a
Philosopher
,
who
is
his
Friend
,
who
does
him
that
kindness
gratis
.
I
often
frequented
their
Courts
through
pleasure
,
which
I
took
in
hearing
the
Polite
Orations
which
are
there
spoken
.
For
the
stream
of
discourse
is
not
interrupted
with
the
irksom
Citation
of
Law
Cases
,
with
which
our
Advocates
stuff
their
Pleadings
:
They
having
no
other
Law
to
study
but
that
of
Nature
,
instead
of
the
Volums
of
Codes
and
Digests
,
they
read
themselves
,
and
draw
from
their
proper
Fund
the
Arguments
by
which
they
maintain
the
Right
of
their
Cause
,
yet
not
without
the
flourishes
and
beauties
of
true
Reasoning
neither
.
Among
the
rest
I
was
present
at
the
Oration
of
a
young
Philosopher
upon
a
Fact
,
which
merits
the
Relation
by
reason
of
the
Extravagancy
of
the
Case
.
Philaretes
(
for
that
was
the
young
Philosophers
Name
)
had
made
his
own
Caravan
in
the
same
Country
House
with
Vrania
,
whose
rare
Beauty
,
accompany'd
with
her
sweet
and
obliging
humour
had
render'd
him
her
absolute
Adorer
.
But
he
was
not
her
only
Admirer
,
for
he
had
a
Rival
whose
Name
was
Philip
;
and
the
strife
was
between
these
two
who
should
gain
this
Incomparable
fair
one
by
the
Assiduity
of
their
Services
,
or
who
should
give
her
the
most
undenyable
Marks
of
his
Passion
.
One
day
Philaretes
being
in
the
Fields
,
a
Fire
took
hold
of
a
Barn
through
which
there
was
a
necessity
to
pass
to
the
Chamber
where
Vrania
was
crying
out
for
help
.
Presently
Philip
ran
to
her
assistance
,
darting
through
the
Flames
,
which
a
Fire
more
scorching
,
though
invisible
,
would
not
suffer
him
to
be
sensible
of
.
So
soon
as
he
was
got
to
his
Beloved
,
he
threw
off
the
rest
of
his
Cloaths
which
he
had
sav'd
from
the
Flames
by
his
swiftness
,
and
of
them
makes
a
long
Twist
,
which
he
girt
about
her
waste
,
and
so
letting
her
down
through
the
Window
threw
himself
after
her
.
After
that
he
lookt
upon
her
as
the
purchase
of
his
Merit
;
nor
did
she
her self
scruple
to
declare
her self
in
favour
of
him
who
had
so
generously
expos'd
himself
to
save
her
Life
.
Philaretes
however
ceas'd
not
to
continue
his
Courtship
,
extenuating
the
Gallantry
of
his
,
and
still
speaking
slightly
of
the
danger
to
which
he
had
expos'd
himself
for
her
sake
.
Some
time
after
Philip
put
two
young
Colts
into
his
Chariot
on
purpose
to
try
them
before
Vrania
;
to
whom
a
Companion
of
hers
being
gain'd
before
hand
by
her
Lover
,
made
a
proposal
to
get
up
into
his
Chariot
and
take
the
Air
for
a
Mile
or
two
,
engaging
her self
that
care
should
be
taken
of
the
Sheep
till
their
return
.
But
they
had
not
rid
above
four
Furlongs
,
before
the
Colts
,
being
frighted
at
the
shade
of
an
Oak
,
fell
a
running
with
such
a
fury
,
that
all
the
Skill
of
their
Driver
could
not
stop
them
,
so
that
Philip
was
constrain'd
to
leap
out
of
his
seat
to
take
hold
of
the
Reins
,
but
he
was
too
feeble
to
be
their
Master
:
insomuch
that
now
obedient
to
nothing
but
the
Impetuosity
of
their
fury
,
they
had
already
whirl'd
the
miserable
Vrania
within
ten
Paces
of
a
dangerous
Precipice
,
which
Philaretes
perceiving
,
scotch'd
the
Wheel
of
the
Wagon
so
luckily
,
that
he
had
time
to
get
before
,
and
with
his
own
Body
to
prevent
the
furious
Animals
from
running
any
farther
.
By
that
means
he
deliver'd
his
Mistress
from
the
danger
,
but
it
cost
him
the
loss
of
his
right
Leg
,
which
was
so
broke
and
mash'd
,
that
there
was
no
cure
for
it
,
but
by
the
Amputation
of
the
Member
.
That
unfortunate
Maim
,
which
still
pleaded
in
behalf
of
Philaretes
,
oblig'd
her
to
give
him
the
precedency
in
merit
,
yet
she
knew
not
how
to
resolve
to
withdraw
her
heart
from
Philip
,
to
bestow
it
upon
a
Mutilated
Lover
.
At
length
after
the
Services
perform'd
,
they
return'd
all
three
to
the
City
,
where
Vrania
being
press'd
by
her
Parents
,
declar'd
in
favour
of
Philip.
Whereupon
Philaretes
understanding
her
resolution
,
took
upon
him
another
Resolution
,
that
is
to
dye
.
Now
though
by
the
Law
of
Nature
,
which
only
takes
place
in
this
small
Territory
,
a
Man
might
lay
violent
hands
upon
himself
without
a
Crime
,
however
who
does
it
without
consent
of
the
Council
,
is
lookt
upon
as
an
uncivil
Companion
that
would
take
a
Journey
without
taking
leave
of
his
Friends
;
and
therefore
there
is
a
Decree
,
that
his
Body
shall
be
carry'd
forth
of
the
Territories
of
the
State
,
as
a
Fugitive
adjudg'd
unworthy
of
burial
.
Thereupon
the
Dispairing
Lover
to
avoid
the
scandal
and
Affront
,
requested
leave
to
make
himself
away
in
this
manner
.
My
Lords
,
if
there
be
no
person
within
this
venerable
Assembly
that
has
experimented
the
Rigours
to
which
I
am
reduc'd
by
the
excess
of
my
Love
,
it
will
signifie
nothing
for
me
to
speak
,
since
I
have
nothing
to
hope
from
the
Equity
of
my
Judges
.
It
behoves
me
to
be
a
person
that
has
loved
with
the
same
Passion
,
which
still
I
have
for
the
fair
Urania
,
notwithstanding
her
Refusal
of
me
,
to
be
in
a
capacity
to
do
reason
to
the
Justice
of
my
demand
.
But
if
there
be
not
any
Person
here
,
as
probably
it
is
so
well
experienc'd
,
the
Torments
which
I
suffer
being
too
violent
to
continue
to
that
venerable
Old
Age
that
adorns
those
Seats
of
Judicature
,
I
hope
that
Reason
will
supply
the
defect
of
an
Experience
which
your
Wisdom
was
too
great
at
any
time
to
undergo
.
The
loss
of
so
principal
a
Member
had
been
a
pretence
specious
enough
for
me
to
have
demanded
your
Permission
to
die
;
and
I
had
done
it
before
now
,
had
not
my
hopes
of
possessing
Urania
moderated
in
some
measure
the
bitter
Woes
of
my
languishing
life
,
after
that
only
Blessing
has
failed
me
,
that
could
create
within
me
a
desire
to
save
it
.
Now
then
since
her
Resolution
has
condemned
me
to
Miseries
that
ne're
will
end
,
and
that
by
this
condemnation
I
find
my self
a
burthen
to
my self
,
troublesome
to
my
Parents
,
ridiculous
to
the
World
,
and
unprofitable
to
the
State
,
I
have
bethought
my self
,
that
there
is
no
other
way
to
shun
this
perpetual
and
cruel
Torment
,
but
by
the
only
way
that
Nature
puts
into
our
Hands
.
You
grant
it
to
a
poor
decrepit
old
Creature
,
with
the
same
Freedom
as
you
permit
the
pulling
down
of
a
House
when
it
is
ready
to
fall
.
Nor
do
you
refuse
the
same
leave
to
young
Paralyticks
,
nor
to
any
person
that
is
seiz'd
with
an
incurable
Distemper
.
Seeing
then
my
Disease
is
such
that
nothing
but
death
can
cure
,
it
is
not
reasonable
that
you
should
deny
it
me
,
seeing
my
Condition
is
worse
than
that
of
the
most
miserable
.
Now
if
my
misfortune
will
not
prevail
to
perswade
you
to
do
me
justice
,
I
beg
your
Permission
as
a
Favour
.
The
Novelty
of
a
Cause
,
for
which
there
had
not
been
a
President
in
any
Age
before
,
so
strangely
surpriz'd
the
Judges
,
that
they
had
never
agreed
in
favour
of
the
Suppliant
,
but
that
Alcibiades
assured
them
,
That
he
had
just
such
another
design
in
his
Youth
,
from
which
nothing
could
have
diverted
him
but
the
change
of
a
better
Fortune
,
and
that
most
certainly
it
was
a
great
piece
of
Cruelty
to
constrain
a
person
to
live
whether
he
would
or
no
,
in
torments
unknown
to
any
but
himself
that
endures
them
.
So
that
his
Opinion
having
brought
over
those
that
dissented
before
,
the
President
pronounced
sentence
in
this
manner
.
Philaretes
,
the
Senate
gives
you
leave
to
depart
the
World
;
you
may
do
it
when
you
please
,
and
after
what
manner
you
think
fit
.
But
Vrania
being
inform'd
of
the
matter
,
came
to
the
Senate
to
prevent
him
;
for
her
heart
could
no
longer
resist
the
sensible
Attacques
of
a
Passion
so
tender
.
After
Sentence
pronounced
,
she
met
him
coming
out
of
the
Senate-house
,
to
whom
Philaretes
,
preventing
her
,
Behold
,
said
he
,
my
Goddess
,
the
Victim
which
my
Love
offers
to
your
Divinity
!
How
!
said
she
,
have
they
pronounc'd
the
Sentence
of
my
Death
?
For
your
Death
will
infallibly
be
mine
.
No
,
replied
Philaretes
,
I
am
going
to
die
,
that
you
may
live
and
enjoy
your
fill
of
Happiness
and
Content
.
At
those
words
she
seemed
to
be
in
a
Trance
;
from
whence
recovering
her self
,
she
accompanied
her
Martyr
to
his
Lodging
,
and
besought
him
to
surcease
the
Execution
of
the
Decree
for
some
days
:
Which
he
did
,
in
regard
his
Affection
had
rendred
him
a
perfect
Slave
to
her
Will
.
All
that
time
she
spent
in
perswading
him
to
live
,
with
an
absolute
Promise
to
marry
him
.
But
it
was
impossible
,
out
of
an
Apprehension
that
the
Senate
would
take
him
for
a
meer
Deluder
and
a
Braggadochio
.
Vrania
therefore
seeing
him
unflexible
,
resolv'd
to
follow
his
Example
,
no
less
tormented
than
her
Lover
;
and
the
better
to
bring
her
Design
to
pass
,
she
requested
him
only
to
marry
her
before
he
died
;
to
which
,
not
knowing
the
design
that
lay
conceal'd
in
her
Breast
,
he
readily
consented
.
Thereupon
they
were
married
in
due
form
,
with
the
mutual
Consent
of
their
Parents
,
who
kept
the
Nuptial
Feasts
according
to
the
Custome
.
At
the
end
of
which
,
Philaretes
withdrew
himself
privately
from
his
Father-in-law's
House
to
go
and
kill
himself
in
his
own
,
without
the
knowledge
of
his
Wife
.
But
he
could
not
deceive
her
,
for
she
was
soon
at
his
Heels
,
and
finding
him
ready
to
swallow
a
large
Quantity
of
Opium
,
which
his
Mother
had
brought
him
in
a
Gold
Cup
;
Since
,
said
she
,
I
can
by
no
means
engage
you
to
live
with
me
,
necessity
obliges
me
to
end
my
days
together
with
you
.
And
so
saying
,
she
desir'd
her
own
Mother
,
who
had
follow'd
her
,
to
prepare
her
a
Cup
of
the
same
Beverage
,
which
could
not
be
refus'd
her
,
since
the
Custom
of
the
Country
permits
that
such
Wives
who
will
may
follow
their
Husbands
in
death
.
Thereupon
the
two
Mothers
paid
that
mornful
Office
to
their
Children
with
those
sad
Sentiments
which
are
natural
to
Women
upon
such
Occasions
.
They
drank
both
together
,
and
then
embracing
each
other
,
after
a
thousand
tender
kisses
,
they
both
fell
into
a
sweet
slumber
,
never
more
to
wake
.
Their
Bodies
were
both
burnt
in
the
same
Funeral
Pile
,
and
their
Ashes
being
mix'd
together
,
were
thrown
upon
the
same
Bed
of
Earth
,
according
to
the
Custom
of
their
Funerals
.
However
to
preserve
the
Memory
of
so
rare
an
Action
,
they
caus'd
to
be
engrav'd
upon
a
Marble
Monument
against
the
Garden
Wall
two
Rings
one
within
another
,
in
the
midst
of
a
flaming
fire
,
with
this
Motto
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
to
intimate
,
That
neither
Death
it self
could
part
them
.
The
Wards
are
subdivided
into
Tribes
;
the
Council
Ward
into
Twelve
,
the
Suns
Ward
into
Thirteen
,
and
the
Schools
Ward
into
five
only
,
because
the
Colleges
and
Manufactures
take
up
the
greatest
part
of
it
.
The
Council
of
Thirty
also
deputes
Three
out
of
the
Two
hunder'd
and
seventy
to
govern
every
Tribe
;
of
which
the
one
takes
care
of
the
Concerns
within
,
the
other
without
;
that
is
to
say
,
of
the
Farms
belonging
to
his
Tribe
,
and
the
Third
is
superintendant
over
the
Magazines
;
for
every
Tribe
hath
its
particular
Magazines
,
to
which
the
private
People
repair
every
day
to
fetch
their
necessary
Provisions
.
There
is
nothing
of
servitude
among
them
,
for
they
are
all
their
own
Servants
,
only
when
they
grow
old
they
are
waited
upon
by
their
Children
,
who
upon
their
returns
from
performing
their
Duties
in
the
Farms
,
or
other
Places
,
retire
to
their
Parents
whom
they
Honour
and
Reverence
as
long
as
they
live
.
The
Schools
are
their
Seminaries
of
Vertue
,
Sciences
and
Arts
,
as
well
Military
as
Civil
,
where
their
Children
are
educated
under
excellent
Masters
,
who
the
first
year
trie
the
Disposition
and
Genius
of
their
Scholars
,
and
if
they
find
any
one
uncapable
of
learning
,
they
inform
the
Superintendant
,
who
sends
him
to
the
Manufactures
with
leave
to
make
choice
of
what
Trade
he
pleases
,
which
he
is
taught
by
Masters
made
choice
of
by
the
Council
of
Thirty
:
And
under
these
Masters
it
is
that
they
follow
their
several
Callings
,
in
several
Apartments
of
the
Building
,
bestowing
their
pains
upon
all
things
either
necessary
or
seemly
for
the
use
of
human
Life
,
and
their
Labours
are
afterwards
distributed
into
the
Magazines
for
the
common
Service
of
the
People
.
The
first
things
taught
in
these
Schools
are
the
Mathematicks
,
of
which
they
learn
all
the
Parts
,
even
to
Astronomy
,
wherein
they
excel
:
For
as
for
Astrology
they
reject
it
as
a
frivolous
thing
.
And
indeed
I
could
wish
that
such
as
waste
their
Time
in
that
Study
,
or
make
it
their
business
to
consult
our
Astrologers
concerning
their
future
Destinies
,
and
all
such
who
shall
read
these
Travels
had
the
same
scorn
and
contempt
of
Astrology
which
this
wise
People
,
by
me
so
fortunately
discover'd
,
have
.
Give
me
leave
therefore
to
say
this
by
the
by
,
for
the
Edification
of
my
Reader
,
since
so
fair
an
Opportunity
presents
it self
,
that
I
my self
formerly
study'd
this
Art
,
and
had
made
so
fair
a
Progress
in
the
knowledge
of
Schemes
and
Horoscopes
,
that
I
began
to
be
in
high
Request
;
but
more
the
success
which
my
Master
had
who
taught
me
at
Rome
,
who
was
Astrologer
to
Queen
Christina
.
However
the
better
to
assure
my self
of
the
solidity
of
this
Art
,
I
was
resolv'd
to
surprize
him
:
To
this
purpose
,
one
Morning
I
presented
him
the
Figure
of
my
Nativity
,
which
I
had
been
calculating
all
night
long
,
accompany'd
with
his
own
Directions
.
Very
true
it
is
,
that
he
knew
of
himself
that
it
was
mine
;
but
then
the
Opposition
of
Saturn
to
my
Ascendant
in
the
third
Degree
,
which
is
my
third
Year
,
he
made
a
doubt
of
it
,
not
believing
that
I
had
escaped
so
fatal
a
direction
.
Thereupon
requesting
him
to
tell
me
what
it
was
,
A
Shipwrack
,
said
he
,
wherein
I
should
absolutely
perish
.
This
answer
,
more
convincing
to
me
than
that
of
Thrasibulus
to
Tiberius
in
the
Island
of
Rhodes
,
made
me
stand
in
Admiration
.
Afterwards
searching
by
what
means
I
might
avoid
the
danger
,
he
observ'd
that
Venus
came
to
my
assistance
,
by
correcting
the
Malignity
of
Saturn
.
This
lucky
Accident
having
encourag'd
me
to
make
a
farther
Progress
in
a
Study
,
whereby
I
thought
to
have
rais'd
my self
above
Humanity
,
I
fell
to
it
seriously
,
and
spent
six
Months
in
the
examination
of
Ptolomy
,
till
I
came
to
that
passage
,
where
he
says
,
That
they
whose
Horoscope
or
Ascendant
the
Leg
of
Capricorn
governs
,
should
be
troubl'd
with
Diseases
in
the
Legs
;
which
is
one
of
the
grand
Maxims
held
at
this
day
by
the
Astrologers
,
as
are
all
the
rest
of
this
great
Master
in
their
Art.
But
then
said
I
to
my self
't
is
not
the
immoveable
Point
or
space
of
the
Heavens
which
influences
,
but
rather
the
Constellation
which
is
there
plac'd
,
of
which
the
Leg
makes
a
part
,
and
from
whence
that
twelfth
Part
of
the
Zodiack
deriv'd
its
name
,
in
the
time
of
Ptolomy
,
above
seventeen
Ages
ago
.
Now
every
Age
the
Stars
of
the
Figure
advancing
a
degree
from
the
East
to
the
West
,
they
ought
to
have
recoil'd
as
much
.
Nevertheless
our
Astrologers
at
present
call
those
Parts
or
Spaces
by
the
same
name
,
and
ground
their
Predictions
thereupon
,
as
if
the
Figure
were
still
fix'd
in
the
same
place
.
Besides
supposing
that
the
Leg
of
Capricorn
had
not
chang'd
place
,
who
does
not
discern
that
this
Maxim
was
grounded
upon
the
Relation
of
one
Limb
to
another
purely
Imaginary
,
there
being
nothing
of
Reality
in
any
of
these
Figures
;
so
that
the
Foundation
of
their
Art
appearing
to
me
so
vain
,
I
took
a
disliking
to
the
Science
it self
.
Many
other
Reasons
also
so
cleanly
convinc'd
me
of
the
falsity
of
it
,
that
at
length
I
quite
and
clean
abandon'd
it
.
Seeing
that
if
the
Astrologer
lit
upon
a
past
Accident
for
once
,
I
attribute
it
,
as
the
Learned
Persons
of
this
Country
of
the
Sun
do
,
meerly
to
Chance
,
which
sometimes
may
produce
a
Truth
among
thousands
of
Lyes
.
From
the
Mathematicks
they
pass
to
Grammar
learning
,
withal
at
the
same
time
to
write
and
speak
well
;
and
among
all
the
other
Dialects
the
Attic
there
prevailes
,
in
regard
that
they
have
not
had
any
Commerce
with
Foreign
Nations
,
whence
proceeds
the
Corruption
of
Languages
;
whereby
it
comes
to
pass
,
that
they
have
preserv'd
the
purity
of
their
own
,
as
have
also
some
Villages
of
Greece
in
Europe
,
where
they
speak
the
pure
litteral
Greek
;
for
that
living
at
a
distance
from
the
Sea
,
and
in
a
Country
of
difficult
access
,
they
enjoy
the
same
good
Fortune
.
For
which
,
besides
the
Testimony
of
Davity
,
I
have
also
the
Authority
of
the
Reverend
and
Learned
Papa
,
Michael
of
Epirus
,
who
but
lately
assur'd
me
at
Venice
,
that
he
had
met
with
such
in
his
Travels
.
By
this
time
their
Judgments
being
rightly
inform'd
,
they
become
more
fit
to
read
Philosophy
,
which
they
learn
in
the
last
place
.
They
have
also
their
bodily
Exercises
,
being
taught
at
the
same
time
to
handle
their
Arms
both
Rapier
and
Back-sword
,
to
shoot
with
their
Bows
,
and
to
ride
the
manag'd
Horse
,
in
a
place
appointed
for
that
purpose
,
where
also
are
admitted
the
Manufacture
Apprentices
.
They
never
teach
Logick
nor
Rhetorick
;
alledging
that
those
two
Sciences
are
as
natural
to
a
Man
as
to
goe
,
or
to
make
use
of
his
Hands
;
and
that
no
man
can
arrive
to
be
an
exquisite
Logician
,
or
a
perfect
Orator
that
has
not
an
excelling
Genius
that
way
.
However
they
give
their
Scholars
certain
general
Precepts
,
very
much
agreeing
with
the
Maxims
of
the
Epicureans
.
They
also
read
and
expound
in
their
Schools
Aristotle
,
Plato
,
Socrates
,
Epicurus
,
Democritus
,
Thales
,
Diogenes
,
and
all
the
ancient
Philosophers
,
of
which
we
have
only
the
Names
;
and
whose
writings
they
preserve
;
leaving
to
their
Scholars
to
choose
what
Opinion
they
think
most
probable
.
They
also
permit
them
to
read
the
Poets
,
though
very
much
incens'd
against
them
,
for
their
Invention
of
Fables
concerning
Deities
that
never
were
.
For
by
the
Converse
which
I
had
among
them
I
found
that
their
knowledge
in
Philosophy
was
altogether
bounded
by
Sence
,
which
they
take
for
the
only
Rule
of
their
Reasoning
,
the
Extravagancies
of
which
are
to
be
moderated
and
corrected
by
themselves
,
being
perswaded
that
what
cannot
be
apprehended
by
the
Sence
,
is
not
at
all
,
nor
can
be
the
object
of
our
Meditations
.
To
which
when
I
answer'd
that
the
contrary
was
taught
in
our
Schools
,
that
is
to
say
that
Reason
corrected
the
Sence
,
they
lookt
upon
it
as
ridiculous
,
as
if
a
Blind
man
should
go
about
to
correct
his
Guide
.
They
generally
believe
the
Eternity
of
the
first
matter
,
not
being
able
to
conceive
how
any
thing
should
be
made
out
of
nothing
;
that
the
World
with
all
its
varieties
was
produc'd
by
the
sympathy
and
antipathy
of
the
first
Body's
,
which
as
they
had
no
beginning
will
have
no
ending
.
They
make
some
Bodies
moveable
of
themselves
;
others
by
the
impulse
of
those
only
in
a
void
space
.
They
acknowledge
no
other
Cause
but
one
,
which
is
the
Material
.
For
all
which
Opinions
of
theirs
I
do
not
here
produce
their
several
Reasons
,
as
designing
at
present
only
a
Historical
Relation
;
which
else
would
require
a
larger
Volume
by
it self
,
which
perhaps
I
may
hereafter
put
to
publick
view
.
If
any
one
begin
to
broach
new
Opinions
they
cite
him
before
the
Council
,
who
examine
them
,
and
if
they
find
them
ill
grounded
,
the
Person
is
not
commanded
to
recant
,
but
only
to
hold
his
Peace
,
under
the
Penalty
of
being
put
into
the
number
of
the
Scandalous
;
a
List
of
whose
names
is
affix'd
to
the
Door
of
the
Temple
,
there
to
remain
to
perpetuity
:
an
affliction
,
which
next
to
exile
,
they
stand
most
in
fear
of
.
Their
Library
more
spacious
than
the
Vatican
,
is
so
much
the
more
Curious
,
by
how
much
it
is
furnish'd
with
an
infinite
number
of
Authors
,
of
which
we
know
not
so
much
as
the
Names
,
and
such
as
liv'd
before
Aristotle
.
Those
they
call
the
ancient
Authors
;
for
the
Modern
they
esteem
to
be
those
that
wrote
after
their
settlement
,
which
is
above
Two
thousand
years
ago
.
They
shew'd
me
also
Translations
of
Egyptian
Books
,
which
make
the
World
to
be
much
more
ancient
than
we
believe
it
to
be
;
our
Chronology
being
no
more
than
a
Great
Grand
Child
of
theirs
.
As
for
Printing
tho'
they
well
know
what
it
is
,
yet
they
make
no
use
of
it
;
so
that
all
their
Books
are
in
Munuscript
,
either
in
Parchment
or
Paper
,
in
the
Greek
Language
,
in
regard
they
know
no
other
;
unless
it
be
the
Tartarian
,
which
by
what
means
some
of
them
come
to
understand
I
shall
relate
in
due
place
.
They
distinguish
their
Books
according
to
the
Quality
of
the
Subjects
.
And
if
any
Author
of
their
own
writes
any
thing
new
,
his
Book
is
not
admitted
into
this
Noble
Society
of
Volums
,
till
it
has
had
the
Approbation
of
the
Council
of
Thirty
:
Private
Men
may
have
it
before
,
but
few
care
for
it
till
then
;
so
great
a
veneration
they
have
for
the
Judgment
of
that
most
noble
Assembly
,
all
composed
of
learned
and
chosen
Men
,
the
flowre
of
Philosophers
,
as
are
also
the
two
hunder'd
and
seventy
.
Among
the
Legislators
,
I
saw
the
Pentateuch
of
Moses
,
translated
by
the
care
of
Alexander
,
and
sent
to
his
Master
Aristotle
,
as
some
Lines
under
his
own
hand
,
at
the
end
of
Deuteronomy
,
witness
.
I
ask'd
them
their
Sentiments
concerning
that
Law
;
to
which
they
answer'd
that
they
had
a
great
esteem
for
the
Moral
part
,
dislik'd
his
Sacrifices
,
condemn'd
his
Ceremonies
,
and
for
his
Historical
part
,
some
they
deem'd
probable
,
the
rest
very
improbable
:
One
of
the
Company
added
that
he
was
a
Philosopher
,
that
he
had
too
enigmatically
describ'd
the
Generation
of
the
World
,
and
of
the
Creatures
therein
to
a
blockish
sort
of
People
,
uncapable
to
apprehend
it
by
methodical
Reasoning
:
That
he
believ'd
with
Moses
,
that
man
was
produc'd
out
of
the
Earth
,
and
that
without
doubt
he
had
borrow'd
that
Opinion
from
the
learning
of
the
Egyptians
,
among
whom
he
confesses
himself
to
have
had
his
Education
.
At
length
I
came
to
the
Book
which
was
left
by
the
French
man
of
whom
I
have
already
made
mention
.
They
kept
it
apart
,
not
knowing
where
to
range
it
,
because
they
did
not
understand
it
:
I
found
it
to
be
a
New
Testament
.
Whereupon
they
earnestly
requested
me
to
translate
it
for
them
,
if
I
thought
it
worth
my
while
.
Upon
which
I
pull'd
out
a
Greek
Testament
out
of
my
Pocket
,
that
had
been
my
Vade
Mecum
in
all
my
Travels
,
and
by
way
of
prevention
,
instead
of
a
Translation
,
said
I
,
here
is
the
Original
,
which
you
may
read
at
your
leisure
,
because
I
do
here
present
it
to
your
Library
.
At
which
they
were
overjoy'd
,
and
gave
me
a
thousand
Thanks
.
After
which
they
led
me
into
the
Apartment
where
all
their
Curiosities
were
kept
;
and
there
I
beheld
a
Collection
of
all
that
ever
the
Bosom
of
Nature
produc'd
,
or
ever
was
invented
by
Art.
Among
the
rest
I
saw
several
Cases
of
Letters
with
all
the
furniture
belonging
to
a
Printing-House
;
several
sorts
of
Fire
arms
,
of
which
they
prais'd
the
Invention
,
but
condemn'd
the
use
as
treacherous
and
cruel
;
Pyrobolick
Mirrours
,
that
cast
forth
Fire
in
a
moment
;
a
flying
Engin
;
Prospective
Glasses
,
by
which
I
could
distinguish
in
the
Moon
Hillocks
,
Valleys
,
Medows
,
Forrests
,
and
if
not
Animals
,
at
least
some
small
moving
Machines
.
They
also
shew'd
me
in
the
same
place
,
Monsters
,
half
men
,
half
beasts
,
of
I
know
not
what
kind
,
preserv'd
in
Chrystals
fill'd
with
Spirit
of
Wine
.
Microscopes
,
shewing
all
the
Vital
Parts
of
a
Hand-worm
,
and
of
all
those
little
Insects
flying
in
the
Air
,
which
the
most
piercing
Eye
could
hardly
discern
without
the
assistance
of
these
Glasses
:
Curious
Watches
and
Clocks
,
of
which
they
make
no
use
,
as
believing
them
superfluous
,
in
regard
that
being
so
expert
as
they
are
in
Astronomy
,
they
can
tell
what
hour
it
is
either
by
day
or
night
;
for
that
the
Air
is
not
there
much
subject
to
be
overcast
.
As
for
their
Climate
their
own
Astronomical
Observations
reckon
it
two
and
forty
Degrees
,
far
from
the
Equinoctial
Line
;
and
their
own
Miridian
is
the
first
in
their
own
Maps
.
Now
tho'
they
inhabit
a
Country
abounding
in
all
things
that
may
render
Life
agreeable
and
commodious
,
yet
they
live
after
a
most
sparing
and
austere
manner
.
For
they
affect
not
the
delicious
tastes
of
Drink
or
costly
Viands
,
unless
when
they
are
sick
,
or
make
great
Banquets
,
which
they
never
do
but
only
upon
certain
Occasions
,
and
that
very
rarely
,
as
at
Weddings
,
the
Birth
of
their
Children
,
Receptions
of
Strangers
or
the
like
,
without
being
thereto
constrain'd
,
however
by
any
Laws
or
Decrees
.
They
eat
about
some
three
hours
after
they
rise
in
a
Morning
;
but
their
chief
Meals
are
in
the
Evening
about
three
hours
before
they
go
to
bed
.
Their
Magazins
furnish
them
with
course
Food
,
Bread
and
Wine
;
but
for
Venison
and
Fish
they
eat
none
,
but
what
they
hunt
and
catch
themselves
,
or
what
their
Children
send
them
from
their
Country
Houses
.
Their
Habit
is
plain
,
made
of
Wooll
dy'd
of
a
Violet
Colour
for
the
Men
,
and
white
for
the
Women
;
which
is
the
only
distinction
of
their
two
Sexes
.
As
to
the
fashion
,
it
is
the
same
us'd
all
along
by
the
Ancients
,
with
a
Stole
upon
their
Shoulders
after
the
manner
of
the
Venetians
,
to
cover
them
in
the
Country
from
the
Sun
,
or
when
they
are
forc'd
to
go
in
the
Rain
.
As
to
other
things
,
bare-headed
and
bare
footed
,
only
in
a
Leather
Sandal
lin'd
within
side
with
Wooll
.
They
that
have
Jewels
may
wear
them
;
and
as
for
the
three
hunder'd
they
are
distinguish'd
by
their
Scarlet
habit
,
which
none
besides
are
allow'd
to
wear
.
There
are
no
profess'd
Physicians
among
them
,
for
they
all
understand
Physick
.
'T
is
very
true
that
in
difficult
Cases
they
call
a
Philosopher
,
who
comes
upon
the
same
Conditions
as
their
Pleaders
without
any
Fee
:
Their
usual
Remedies
they
take
from
Trees
,
Herbs
and
Roots
growing
in
their
own
Grounds
,
which
have
the
same
Qualities
,
with
Cassia
,
Senna
,
and
Scammony
,
and
with
which
they
suddenly
cure
all
Distempers
that
are
curable
.
For
in
regard
that
Noble
Science
is
there
practis'd
for
no
advantage
of
gain
,
the
Philosopher
who
is
sent
for
never
seeks
to
prolong
the
Cure
;
besides
that
making
up
their
Prescriptions
themselves
,
they
have
nothing
to
fear
on
the
Apothecaries
part
,
whose
Avarice
or
qui
pro
quo
often
times
does
the
Patient
more
injury
than
the
Distemper
it self
.
There
is
not
a
Surgeon
nor
a
Barber
to
be
seen
,
for
they
never
let
blood
,
as
not
being
to
be
perswaded
that
they
ought
to
wound
a
Patient
to
cure
him
;
or
that
the
Blood
which
is
the
seat
of
the
Soul
,
with
which
it
has
so
strict
an
Alliance
,
that
it
seems
to
be
inseperable
,
ought
to
be
spilt
to
make
it
better
,
seeing
that
which
remains
in
the
Body
is
as
bad
as
before
the
Blood
letting
;
but
that
it
is
better
corrected
by
Catharticks
,
which
separate
from
its
Mass
the
Humours
which
infect
it
,
without
taking
away
that
which
is
good
,
and
that
the
quantity
of
it
may
be
diminish'd
at
any
time
by
Diet
,
Exercise
,
and
Sweating
.
As
to
Wounds
and
Bruises
,
they
proceed
after
the
same
method
as
in
Fevers
;
that
is
to
say
,
they
cure
themselves
with
the
assistance
of
a
Philosopher
if
need
require
.
The
Women
shave
and
trim
their
Husbands
,
of
whom
they
are
so
jealous
,
that
they
will
not
suffer
any
bodies
hands
to
come
neer
their
Faces
but
their
own
.
The
Philosophers
have
also
specific
Remedies
for
the
Diseases
of
the
Soul
,
the
continual
use
of
which
fortifies
the
Memory
and
purifies
the
Wit
in
such
a
manner
,
that
they
will
make
a
Dunce
Ingenious
.
It
is
a
Composition
of
which
we
have
the
ingredients
in
this
part
of
the
World
;
and
of
which
I
have
often
made
use
since
my
return
into
Europe
,
with
good
success
as
well
to
my self
as
to
others
.
You
see
there
none
that
are
troubl'd
with
the
Gout
,
in
regard
they
are
both
sober
,
temperate
,
and
active
;
besides
that
the
Continence
of
the
two
Sexes
is
so
great
,
that
there
is
no
harbour
there
for
that
same
Disease
which
the
Italians
call
the
French.
If
a
sick
Person
be
given
over
as
past
recovery
,
there
is
no
need
of
a
Comforter
,
because
they
do
not
conceive
there
is
any
evil
in
death
,
which
they
look
upon
as
only
a
meer
Cessation
from
Action
and
Thought
,
which
may
possibly
return
one
day
,
if
the
Particles
from
whence
the
same
Action
and
Thought
deriv'd
their
first
beginning
should
happen
to
reunite
.
The
Children
burn
the
Body
of
their
Parents
deceas'd
in
their
own
Gardens
,
and
scatter
their
Ashes
upon
the
Earth
;
believing
that
the
enlivening
Atoms
are
charioted
up
in
the
Flames
to
their
first
Original
,
which
they
believe
to
be
the
Sun
;
and
by
their
mixture
of
the
Ashes
with
the
Earth
,
they
believe
that
in
eating
the
Plants
which
proceed
from
thence
,
that
they
enliven
the
more
gross
and
terrestrial
Portion
of
their
Parents
.
To
speak
the
truth
,
I
attribute
the
goodness
of
the
Air
which
they
breath
in
those
Parts
,
partly
to
this
Custom
,
which
renders
it
so
free
from
those
Infections
which
the
stinking
Exhalations
of
the
Bodies
interr'd
in
our
Cities
are
the
certain
cause
of
among
us
.
In
regard
their
Commerce
is
not
great
,
't
is
not
very
possible
should
be
Rich.
However
they
are
not
poor
neither
;
for
that
the
fertility
of
the
Soil
furnishes
them
with
all
things
necessary
for
the
support
and
pleasure
of
Life
,
and
to
spare
.
So
that
they
send
the
superfluity
of
their
Provisions
and
Manufactures
once
a
year
to
a
Fair
that
is
held
between
the
Confines
of
this
State
,
and
the
Great
Moguls
Country
,
where
they
Barter
their
Commodities
for
Pearls
,
Diamonds
,
and
other
Precious
Stones
,
or
else
for
Gold
and
Silver
coyn'd
,
for
the
benefit
of
the
Publick
Treasure
,
which
surpasses
in
value
those
of
St.
Denis
,
Loretto
and
St.
Mark
,
put
them
altogether
tho'
they
be
the
Richest
that
I
have
seen
in
Europe
.
Nor
do
they
prohibit
private
Persons
from
sending
their
Goods
thither
,
and
Trading
upon
their
own
accounts
.
For
after
they
are
out
of
their
times
,
and
have
done
that
Service
which
is
requir'd
from
them
for
the
Benefit
of
the
Country
Farms
,
or
otherwise
,
till
they
come
to
be
Thirty
years
of
Age
,
they
have
then
liberty
to
work
at
home
,
for
the
Ornament
of
themselves
and
their
Houses
.
Besides
,
that
whatever
they
do
for
the
Service
of
the
Commonwealth
is
sure
to
be
publickly
rewarded
;
and
with
this
wealth
,
either
purchas'd
by
their
Industry
or
their
Vertue
,
they
feast
and
give
Portions
to
their
Children
when
they
marry
them
.
Now
altho'
they
lye
surrounded
by
the
Tartarians
,
yet
are
they
not
at
War
with
any
body
:
For
the
Great
Kam
,
who
has
always
had
a
high
esteem
for
them
,
by
reason
of
their
Integrity
,
permits
them
to
live
in
Peace
and
Tranquillity
one
among
another
.
In
acknowledgment
of
which
favour
,
they
furnish
him
at
all
times
with
a
small
Regiment
of
300.
Men
,
under
Thirty
years
of
Age
,
who
go
to
serve
him
voluntarily
,
and
all
the
time
that
they
stay
there
,
is
lookt
upon
as
if
they
had
spent
it
in
the
Service
of
the
State.
These
300
choose
themselves
their
own
Colonel
,
who
swears
fidelity
to
the
Great
Kam
;
who
at
his
first
arrival
presents
him
with
very
fair
Arms
and
Weapons
,
and
gives
him
leave
to
make
choice
of
six
Leiutenants
,
to
Command
every
one
under
him
Fifty
Men
a
peice
.
Nor
do
they
ever
return
from
his
Service
without
a
considerable
Reward
;
and
they
that
signalize
themselves
by
any
extraordinary
Atchievement
,
are
rewarded
moreover
according
to
their
Merit
.
Thus
it
is
that
they
come
to
understand
the
Tartarian
Language
,
of
which
the
People
of
this
Country
make
use
in
their
Commerce
by
the
assistance
of
one
or
two
of
these
Interpreters
,
who
are
deputed
by
the
Council
to
attend
the
Fair.
When
they
are
ready
to
March
to
the
Great
Kam
,
the
Council
gives
them
an
Order
to
take
Arms
out
of
the
Arsenal
,
which
is
always
furnish'd
to
Arm
Sixty
thousand
Men
upon
occasion
.
Their
Offensive
Arms
are
a
Bow
,
a
Scimitar
,
a
Mace
of
Iron
,
a
Javelin
,
and
a
Pike
;
their
Defensive
only
a
Buckler
and
a
Helmet
.
All
the
while
that
I
convers'd
with
them
I
could
not
find
that
they
had
any
Notion
of
God
after
our
manner
;
in
regard
that
as
I
have
said
,
their
Philosophy
solely
depends
upon
Sence
.
As
for
those
Deities
which
either
Poetry
,
Fear
,
or
Imagination
has
set
up
,
they
are
too
wise
to
acknowledg
;
so
that
I
have
nothing
to
say
concerning
their
Religion
,
except
you
call
Religion
that
which
they
believe
and
practise
concerning
the
Sun.
For
they
unanimously
hold
that
Planet
to
be
the
most
Lovely
,
the
most
Powerful
,
and
the
most
Beneficent
of
all
the
Beings
.
They
are
perswaded
that
it
is
the
Soul
of
the
World
,
and
that
the
Beams
of
the
Sun
being
incorporated
into
the
Creatures
give
motion
to
their
Corporeal
Mass
,
the
external
Figure
of
which
makes
the
Principal
difference
which
we
see
between
them
.
Tho'
they
do
not
deny
but
that
their
different
Internal
Operations
may
proceed
as
well
from
the
variety
of
little
Bodies
,
with
which
they
are
mix'd
,
as
from
the
Beams
of
the
Sun
more
or
less
purify'd
.
They
assert
the
Sun
to
be
a
Globe
of
Fire
exactly
rarify'd
,
and
shining
in
the
Center
of
the
World
,
as
being
the
heart
which
animates
all
the
Parts
of
it
;
and
the
Element
or
Principle
of
Souls
to
which
they
all
return
upon
their
seperation
from
the
Body
,
as
the
Water
returns
to
the
Sea
,
discharging
it self
from
the
Land
.
Every
tenth
day
of
the
year
they
go
to
the
Temple
to
be
there
when
the
Sun
Rises
;
and
as
soon
as
the
Sun
appears
through
one
of
those
holes
which
mark
out
the
Degrees
of
the
Eccliptick
,
the
〈◊〉

or
Priestess
,
who
is
chosen
for
the
excellency
of
her
Beauty
out
of
all
the
Virgins
in
their
Territory
,
ascends
the
uppermost
Step
that
serves
instead
of
a
Triposs
,
clad
in
a
Vestment
of
Cloth
of
Gold
,
with
open
and
hanging
Sleeves
,
whence
,
her
Arms
come
forth
cover'd
with
a
fine
Linnen
shift
,
which
is
fasten'd
together
between
her
Elbows
and
her
Shoulders
with
a
Bracelet
of
Diamonds
;
her
head
Crown'd
with
a
Garland
of
Flowers
,
a
Necklace
of
large
Peral
about
her
neck
;
two
Emrauld
Pendants
Pear-fashion'd
,
hanging
at
her
Ears
,
her
Hair
dishevell'd
,
crisp'd
and
curling
without
Art
,
and
carelesly
flowing
down
her
Breast
and
Back
;
her
Mantle
clasp'd
under
her
Chin
,
with
an
Oriental
Girasol
,
weighing
thirty
Carats
,
and
enchas'd
in
Diamonds
,
of
which
a
great
number
glitter'd
upon
her
Fingers
.
To
this
Priestess
thus
accouter'd
,
a
most
lovely
Youth
presents
her
with
a
little
Casket
of
Gold
curiously
wrought
,
out
of
which
she
takes
a
certain
quantity
of
Perfumes
,
which
she
throws
into
the
Perfumer
of
which
I
have
already
spoken
;
after
the
performance
of
which
Ceremony
,
presently
you
hear
a
noise
of
Trumpets
plac'd
upon
the
Cornish
,
and
after
that
a
Symphony
of
excellent
Voices
and
Instruments
chosen
out
of
the
School
,
who
sing
the
following
Stanza's
,
the
Hautboys
and
Violins
intermixing
their
harmony
by
turns

Let

sing
that
Glorious
Star
In
splendid
Lustre
past
compare
,
And
his
surpassing
Power
extol
,
Glorious
and
Ineffable
.
He
the
Worlds
Soul
does
all
command
,
Filling
the
Air
the
Sea
and
Land
,
And
penetrating
Depths
profound
,
Impregnates
all
that
's
under
ground
,
As
by
the
first
Decrees
of
Fate
To
him
we
owe
our
Mortal
State
;
So
dowe
hope
,
this
Life
once
done
,
All
to
return
to
him
the
Sun.
The
People
below
also
repeat
these
Stanzas
,
keeping
time
to
their
Voices
with
a
confus'd
but
merry
dance
,
while
the
Priestess
is
busily
employ'd
in
supplying
the
Censer
with
Incence
;
who
after
she
has
sufficiently
embalm'd
all
the
People
with
her
Perfumes
,
ascending
by
the
middle
of
the
Roof
,
goes
up
to
the
Sun
it self
to
refresh
him
with
a
costly
Repast
;
for
they
believe
him
to
be
nourish'd
with
the
Exhalations
which
ascend
to
him
incessantly
,
as
well
from
the
Earth
as
from
the
other
Planets
,
by
the
Order
of
Circulation
,
which
they
acknowledge
to
be
in
the
great
World
as
well
as
in
the
Microcosm
.
The
rest
of
the
day
they
spend
in
Pastimes
and
divertizing
themselves
,
either
in
their
Houses
,
or
in
their
Delightful
Vicinities
,
which
consist
in
Medows
,
Groves
or
Fishponds
,
which
are
form'd
by
the
Concourse
of
the
adjoining
Rivulets
.
From
the
Principal
Outlets
of
the
City
,
you
walk
to
the
Confines
of
their
Country
Houses
,
under
the
Shade
of
long
Rows
of
Elms
planted
in
a
streight
Line
,
which
affords
the
pleasure
also
of
a
fair
Prospect
,
to
those
that
promenade
through
the
Chief
Streets
,
at
the
end
of
every
one
of
which
there
stands
a
Portal
all
of
costly
Architecture
,
which
at
night
are
only
barr'd
with
a
single
Draw-bridge
about
the
height
of
a
Man
,
as
being
made
rather
to
terminate
the
sight
than
for
any
defenee
.
For
the
City
has
no
more
than
one
single
Moat
of
running
Water
,
to
prevent
the
entrance
of
Wild
Beasts
,
(
which
rarely
happens
)
nevertheless
they
do
adventure
so
far
,
by
reason
they
are
continually
hunted
by
the
Youth
of
the
Country
that
are
put
to
manure
the
Land
.
Besides
that
they
breed
up
great
Mastiff
Dogs
so
strong
and
so
couragious
,
that
they
will
encounter
with
success
the
most
Savage
of
Wild
Beasts
,
against
which
they
only
exercise
their
fierceness
,
being
no
less
tame
in
the
Company
of
Men
,
whose
Guardians
they
seem
to
be
,
taking
their
Rounds
day
and
night
about
the
Fields
,
with
their
Iron
Collers
stuck
with
sharp
Nails
.
When
the
Hunters
take
a
Lyon
,
or
any
such
dangerous
and
mischeivous
Creature
,
they
nail
him
to
a
Tree
at
the
Avenues
into
the
Territories
,
as
formerly
the
Carthaginians
did
upon
their
Walls
.
And
indeed
the
small
number
of
those
Wild
Beasts
which
is
to
be
found
in
a
Country
whither
the
numerous
Herds
and
Flocks
of
Cattle
are
sufficient
Baits
to
entice
them
,
shews
them
to
be
terrify'd
by
such
Executions
.
Their
Tillage
and
rural
Habitations
take
their
beginning
at
about
a
Mile
distance
from
the
City
Moat
,
all
the
Delightful
space
between
being
allotted
for
publick
Recreation
.
Their
year
which
begins
just
at
the
Winter
Solstice
,
is
divided
into
six
and
thirty
Decads
of
days
,
and
so
they
count
the
first
,
second
,
&c.
day
of
every
Decad
;
and
the
time
which
remains
till
the
Point
of
Revolution
,
they
call
the
Surplusage
;
and
pass
it
altogether
as
they
do
the
tenth
day
of
every
Decad.
By
which
means
they
avoid
the
Fopperies
and
Trifles
of
Bissextiles
and
Epacts
,
which
the
most
cautious
corrections
of
our
Kalenders
cannot
free
from
mistakes
.
They
begin
their
Epochs
from
the
Solstice
next
ensuing
the
Installation
of
Misargyrus
,
and
adjust
their
Chronology
by
his
Successors
,
whose
Portraitures
to
the
Life
they
preserve
in
their
Treasury
,
to
the
number
of
One
hunder'd
and
fourscore
,
till
the
time
of
Philopoemen
,
their
Chief
President
at
the
time
when
I
was
there
.
And
this
is
all
the
Chief
recompence
of
their
Supream
Presidents
for
all
their
care
and
pains
in
the
Government
of
the
State
;
the
Publick
Causes
two
fair
Medals
of
his
Face
to
be
cast
in
Gold
,
of
which
the
one
is
laid
up
in
the
Treasury
,
the
other
is
bestow'd
upon
the
Person
himself
,
who
leaves
it
to
his
Family
at
his
death
,
as
a
Mark
of
Honour
to
encourage
his
Posterity
to
follow
his
Steps
.
In
a
word
,
for
a
Conclusion
of
all
that
can
be
said
touching
the
Manners
and
Customs
of
these
People
,
I
must
needs
aver
,
that
they
are
so
regular
and
just
,
that
the
Age
of
Gold
may
seem
to
continue
still
among
them
They
mutually
assist
each
other
in
all
their
Affairs
,
and
love
one
another
to
that
Degree
,
that
you
would
take
them
all
for
Brethren
.
Thus
therefore
having
taken
a
view
of
all
that
was
to
be
seen
in
this
admirable
City
,
I
spent
the
best
part
of
my
Time
with
Eugenes
,
either
in
the
Schools
,
or
in
the
Library
;
where
I
was
present
at
their
Readings
and
Disputes
.
For
besides
the
lesser
Apartments
appointed
for
their
youth
,
there
is
one
large
Hall
where
the
marry'd
People
of
both
Sexes
meet
every
Morning
and
Evening
,
to
hear
the
Discourses
of
Physick
and
Morality
which
the
Philosophers
there
make
in
their
several
Turns
;
and
where
they
take
all
the
Liberty
which
our
Preachers
assume
to
reprehend
Vice.
Their
Disputes
contain
nothing
of
the
Pedantick
,
there
is
not
to
be
heard
I
deny
your
Major
,
or
I
prove
my
Minor.
The
Head
of
the
School
propounds
a
Thesis
,
which
a
Schollar
undertaking
maintains
with
the
best
Arguments
he
can
produce
,
and
is
then
oppos'd
by
another
;
after
which
three
Philosophers
give
their
judgment
who
has
done
best
.
As
to
their
Ponunciation
it
agrees
with
that
of
our
Criticks
;
in
which
they
differ
from
our
Europian
Greeks
;
and
I
made
it
my
Business
also
to
turn
over
the
Books
of
several
Ancient
Philosophers
,
which
we
want
,
the
suppression
of
which
,
though
falsly
,
is
laid
to
the
charge
of
Aristotle's
Ambition
.
By
the
reading
of
which
I
found
the
Modesty
of
those
Great
Men
,
who
never
asserted
their
Opinions
like
Arrogant
Dogmatists
,
but
only
as
Doubts
,
or
as
Answers
which
to
them
seem'd
probable
,
in
satisfaction
of
the
Questions
which
were
to
them
propos'd
.
So
that
Anaxagoras's
Fire
,
Thales's
Water
,
Democritus's
Attomes
,
set
forth
by
another
whose
name
I
have
forgot
,
are
only
means
to
explain
the
Generation
of
things
which
to
them
seem'd
probable
,
being
there
supported
by
Chymical
Experiences
without
asserting
any
thing
Positive
.
Among
their
Authors
of
Mythology
I
found
the
Greek
New
Testament
which
I
had
presented
them
.
Of
which
I
demanded
the
Reason
from
the
Library
Keeper
:
who
answer'd
me
,
That
he
had
observ'd
most
excellent
Precepts
of
Morality
therein
;
but
by
reason
of
a
Celestial
Genealogy
,
and
some
other
particulars
,
that
did
not
seem
rationably
to
be
believ'd
,
he
had
rank'd
it
among
those
Volumes
,
by
advice
of
his
Council
compos'd
of
Four
other
Philosophers
,
deputed
as
he
was
,
by
the
Thirty
.
Thereupon
I
took
an
occasion
to
unfold
to
them
the
Principles
of
the
Christian
Religion
,
so
universally
believ'd
by
the
Princes
and
Potentates
of
Europe
;
however
without
making
any
progress
among
them
,
because
I
had
to
do
with
People
that
acknowledg'd
no
other
Authority
but
that
of
Sence
and
Reason
,
which
cannot
apprehend
the
Mysteries
of
Faith.
But
when
I
came
to
tell
them
of
one
Nature
in
three
Persons
,
of
two
Natures
in
one
Person
,
and
one
invisible
incorporeal
Deity
,
who
was
All
in
All
,
and
All
in
every
Part
;
born
in
a
Stable
,
Crucify'd
upon
a
Cross
,
and
reproducing
himself
every
day
in
a
thousand
Parts
of
the
World
to
be
swallow'd
by
his
Adorers
,
they
began
to
discourse
among
themselves
that
I
was
frantick
,
and
talk'd
already
of
sending
me
among
the
mad
Folks
,
so
that
I
was
forc'd
to
change
my
Language
.
If
there
be
such
a
God
,
said
one
to
me
,
as
you
describe
,
who
would
be
Worshipt
by
all
the
Earth
according
to
the
Religion
which
you
propose
,
and
that
this
Faith
is
the
only
way
to
gain
Heaven
,
and
shun
everlasting
Torment
,
it
had
become
his
Wisdom
,
his
Goodness
and
his
Omnipotency
,
to
have
caus'd
it
to
have
been
divulg'd
abroad
at
first
through
all
the
Universe
,
after
the
clearest
and
most
intelligible
manner
imaginable
,
to
prevent
the
ruin
of
so
many
Men
who
have
perish'd
according
to
your
Principles
,
for
these
sixteen
Centuries
past
,
because
they
never
heard
of
any
such
thing
.
Instead
of
exposing
an
Innocent
Son
to
the
severity
of
Torment
,
he
should
have
sent
him
into
the
World
with
an
Equipage
answerable
to
his
Birth
,
that
he
might
have
been
heard
with
more
respect
;
with
an
Army
to
render
him
formidable
;
and
with
Lightning
in
his
hand
to
terrifie
those
that
would
not
obey
his
Law.
Here
I
shew'd
them
the
necessity
of
Christs
Humility
,
unfolding
to
them
the
Mystery
of
our
Redemption
;
and
giving
them
to
understand
that
there
was
no
other
way
for
the
Redeemer
to
expiate
our
Crimes
,
and
fully
to
satisfie
the
Justice
of
the
Father
.
Where
is
that
Judge
,
reply'd
my
Antagonist
,
that
would
condemn
an
Innocent
Son
for
the
sake
of
Criminals
?
especially
it
being
in
his
sole
and
only
Power
to
save
by
a
meer
amnisty
.
Notwithstanding
all
this
,
after
I
had
laid
before
them
all
that
the
Sorbon
,
and
the
best
Divines
of
the
Church
had
taught
me
,
of
most
profound
and
most
refin'd
concerning
these
Matters
,
I
was
constrain'd
to
put
an
end
to
my
Dispute
,
in
regard
those
Centlemen
denying
my
Foundations
,
it
was
impossible
for
me
to
make
any
breach
in
their
Belief
.
I
remain'd
a
whole
Month
in
this
Sun-adoring
Country
,
sometimes
in
the
City
,
sometimes
in
the
Country
,
whither
I
kept
some
of
the
Citizens
Company
,
who
went
to
make
merry
with
their
Children
.
And
indeed
I
could
willingly
have
ended
my
days
in
this
place
,
had
not
the
Remembrance
of
my
Friends
and
my
Affairs
in
Europe
oblig'd
me
to
return
.
Which
I
did
,
after
I
had
taken
leave
of
the
Senate
,
who
order'd
that
I
should
be
furnish'd
with
a
Waggon
to
the
Borders
of
their
Territories
;
and
that
the
Archon
of
the
last
Country
Farm
should
in
my
behalf
agree
with
a
Tartar
to
conduct
me
to
the
Caspian
Sea
.
I
must
confess
I
made
a
Proposition
to
Eugenes
and
some
others
,
to
have
taken
a
Journey
into
Europe
;
but
they
very
frankly
told
me
,
That
there
was
not
any
thing
which
I
had
related
to
them
,
concerning
our
Parts
of
the
World
that
bred
in
them
the
least
Inclination
to
undergo
so
great
a
trouble
.
Upon
that
I
presented
my
Friend
with
an
Emrald
sorrounded
with
Diamonds
;
and
he
presented
me
with
the
Works
of
Democritus
,
and
Thales
the
Milesian
,
together
with
a
certain
Stone
,
which
our
Lapidaries
know
not
what
to
make
of
.
After
that
taking
leave
of
my
Friend
upon
the
Frontiers
,
whether
he
had
accompany'd
me
,
as
well
out
of
friendship
,
as
by
the
Orders
of
the
Thirty
,
in
hopes
to
see
each
other
again
,
I
betook
my self
to
the
Conduct
of
my
Tartar
,
who
taking
a
neerer
but
more
difficult
way
than
what
I
had
travell'd
before
,
gave
me
opportunity
of
seeing
several
Countries
,
not
much
unlike
those
Beautiful
and
Charming
Glooms
that
adorn
the
Alpes
of
Switzerland
,
of
which
I
intend
to
give
a
Description
,
if
these
my
present
Travels
find
a
favourable
reception
.
In
six
Weeks
time
I
came
to
a
Village
by
the
Sea-side
,
where
to
comfort
me
for
the
loss
of
Eugenes
,
I
had
the
happiness
to
meet
with
Monthresor
,
who
after
the
usual
Embraces
,
and
Tender
Expressions
,
which
such
an
unexpected
meeting
could
invent
,
gave
me
an
accompt
,
how
that
after
he
had
been
carry'd
away
by
the
impetuosity
of
the
Current
,
he
enter'd
into
a
deep
Water
,
salt
and
still
;
which
made
him
believe
himself
to
be
in
the
Sea
,
where
he
often
lanch'd
himself
forth
according
to
the
Art
of
swimming
;
that
at
first
he
found
some
resistance
at
the
top
,
which
made
him
swim
between
the
two
Waters
,
darting
himself
forth
withal
the
strength
he
could
,
till
at
length
he
gain'd
the
Shore
of
the
Sea
that
washes
this
Coast
.
I
ask'd
him
what
he
saw
remarkable
under
that
same
Tartarian
Pausillipus
.
To
which
he
answer'd
that
by
the
thick
darkness
of
that
dreadful
Cave
,
tho'
it
were
at
Noon
day
,
he
could
make
no
Observation
by
his
sight
,
but
that
his
Ears
were
terrify'd
with
a
Horrid
Whistling
,
of
which
he
had
no
time
to
examin
the
Reason
,
in
regard
his
Thoughts
were
all
employ'd
how
to
save
himself
.
After
that
we
made
a
Relation
one
to
another
of
our
past
Adventures
,
while
we
staid
to
embark
in
a
Fisher-boat
,
like
those
of
Marteguois
,
and
so
swift
that
it
brought
us
to
Santa
Maria
in
four
days
,
from
whence
we
held
the
same
Course
backward
as
we
had
done
forward
.
Returning
through
Athens
I
visited
my
Host
Epiphanes
,
who
receiv'd
me
with
a
great
deal
of
joy
,
returning
me
a
thousand
thanks
for
the
good
Effects
of
my
Antipodagricon
,
finding
himself
absolutely
freed
from
the
Tormenting
pains
of
the
Gout
by
the
use
of
it
.
And
I
should
have
been
much
more
glad
to
find
my self
so
Instrumental
in
the
Recovery
of
a
Person
from
whom
I
had
receiv'd
so
much
kindness
,
had
not
my
Joy
been
abated
by
the
news
which
I
receiv'd
at
the
same
time
of
the
death
of
Demetrius
and
Constantine
.
From
Athens
I
had
a
design
to
have
taken
a
Journey
to
Parnassus
,
but
understanding
I
should
see
nothing
but
a
Mountain
,
like
to
other
Hills
,
with
out
any
Footsteps
of
Antiquity
,
I
laid
aside
those
thoughts
.
For
I
am
not
of
the
humour
of
many
Men
that
put
themselves
to
a
great
deal
of
trouble
,
meerly
that
they
may
be
able
to
say
they
have
been
at
such
or
such
a
place
when
mention'd
in
Company
.
If
the
Beauties
of
a
Country
do
not
draw
me
thither
,
there
must
be
at
least
some
remainder
of
those
that
formerly
inhabited
those
Parts
,
whence
I
may
in
some
measure
understand
the
Fashions
of
Living
,
and
Customs
of
a
People
whom
History
has
represented
to
the
World
with
Applause
;
nor
is
the
knowledge
of
the
Manners
and
Customs
of
the
present
Inhabitants
,
able
to
make
a
Parallel
between
them
and
their
ancestors
unworthy
a
Man
of
Wit
;
and
therefore
above
all
things
I
flye
to
a
place
where
once
Learning
flourish'd
.
If
a
Traveller
does
not
propose
to
himself
these
Advantages
,
he
will
find
himself
often
deceiv'd
,
in
regard
he
will
not
see
the
fourth
part
of
what
he
expects
,
upon
reading
of
Relations
,
no
less
flattering
and
deceitful
than
Paintings
,
that
generally
represent
Faces
much
fairer
then
they
are
;
unless
it
be
that
a
Man
is
desirous
to
know
of
himself
the
Situation
of
Places
,
which
I
have
found
to
be
very
much
mistaken
in
the
best
Maps
.
From
Athens
we
return'd
to
Naples
,
whose
delicious
Climate
constrain'd
Monthresor
to
stop
there
.
For
my
own
part
I
return'd
into
France
,
where
after
I
had
experimented
all
the
Rigours
of
a
Cruel
Fortune
,
in
the
year
1676
,
I
embark'd
at
Rochel
in
an
English
Vessel
,
which
brought
me
to
Plymouth
the
28th
.
of
September
,
having
a
desire
to
terminate
my
Travels
and
my
days
in
this
Kingdom
.
But
the
Enemy
of
my
repose
would
suffer
me
to
take
no
rest
,
having
found
out
new
necessities
for
me
to
revisit
as
well
France
,
as
several
other
parts
of
Europe
,
through
Roads
not
common
,
where
I
have
made
several
Remarks
,
which
I
shall
communicate
to
Publick
view
,
when
I
understand
what
kind
of
entertainment
this
my
first
Volume
has
receiv'd
:
For
nature
not
being
wholly
shut
up
in
one
small
Corner
,
it
behoves
a
Philosopher
to
sound
for
Experience
in
various
Parts
,
which
he
cannot
otherwise
do
than
by
Travelling
;
else
the
Company
of
Learned
Men
and
rare
Wits
,
which
are
in
Kingdoms
and
Countries
like
so
many
Phoenixes
,
is
not
to
be
acquir'd
,
but
by
a
strict
survey
of
those
Kingdoms
.
And
indeed
by
the
means
of
these
two
assistances
it
was
,
that
I
found
what
I
sought
for
in
the
Study
of
Philosophy
,
which
of
all
the
Studies
I
have
labour'd
in
,
even
to
the
maintaining
of
General
Theses
,
concerning
all
that
could
be
known
,
is
that
which
I
have
taken
most
delight
in
all
my
Life
time
for
these
thirty
years
together
,
that
I
have
apply'd
my self
solely
to
it
,
renouncing
all
the
rest
,
excepting
only
Physick
,
which
following
like
her
Daughter
so
close
at
the
heels
,
no
less
deserv'd
my
Courtship
.
Besides
that
the
exact
knowledge
of
the
Body
of
Man
,
which
she
promises
her
followers
,
making
me
hope
that
she
would
favour
my
designs
of
diving
into
the
Secrets
of
Nature
,
bred
in
me
a
strong
Inclination
from
that
time
forward
to
apply
my self
devoutly
to
that
Science
.
And
the
Progress
which
I
made
both
in
the
one
and
the
other
seem'd
sufficient
to
my
Friends
to
importune
me
to
take
the
Degree
of
Doctor
in
both
Faculties
.
Wherein
I
prov'd
successful
with
all
the
Honour
that
an
Honest
Man
could
wish
for
,
during
a
Winter
that
I
sojourn'd
at
Padua
,
after
I
had
undergone
the
utmost
rigours
of
a
strict
Examination
both
in
Publick
and
Private
.
Nor
was
it
less
than
I
desir'd
;
tho'
being
inform'd
of
my
Birth
,
they
would
have
treated
me
more
Nobly
,
that
is
to
say
,
they
would
have
pass'd
me
without
Examination
.
However
though
I
hold
my self
highly
honour'd
with
these
two
Degrees
,
yet
I
do
not
pretend
to
value
my self
upon
that
of
Physick
;
as
being
too
mean
and
prostituted
to
the
most
ignorant
in
the
Esculapian
School
,
who
arrive
to
be
no
more
than
bare
Mountebanks
;
besides
that
the
Faculty
is
extreamly
decry'd
by
the
Dishonour
done
it
by
idle
and
silly
Practitioners
.
Neither
do
I
practise
it
my self
,
as
well
to
avoid
the
Reproaches
to
which
a
Physician
is
expos'd
if
he
fail
of
success
which
often
befals
him
,
as
for
that
my
Constitution
will
not
brook
that
nastiness
and
stench
,
wh●●●
〈◊〉
Physician
is
forc'd
to
swallow
for
his
Breakfast
,
when
he
comes
to
do
his
Duty
;
according
to
the
Verse
,
Stercus
&
Vrina
medici
sunt
prandia
prima
.
To
what
purpose
,
then
(
will
some
object
)
are
all
those
noble
Secrets
which
you
have
acquir'd
in
your
Travels
?
What
will
become
of
your
Pneumatopharmacon
,
that
will
create
a
Memory
and
Understanding
in
those
that
want
it
?
that
excellent
Remedy
against
the
Gravel
,
and
that
other
which
unfetters
Gouty
Feet
,
extirpating
the
Cause
of
the
Distemper
?
To
which
I
answer
;
these
are
Medicins
which
I
give
to
such
as
think
it
worth
their
while
to
desire
them
,
where
I
live
at
my
House
in
Beaufort
Buildings
in
the
Strand
,
in
the
Court
that
goes
from
the
Fountain
Tavern
to
the
Water-side
.
