their Flowers intermix’d; and ’tis no ill Painting neither.  Here’s our Saviour celebrating his last Supper with his elect Disciples.  Here’s Herod a keeping his Birth-Day with a bloody Banquet.  Here’s Dives, mention’d in the Gospel, in the Height of his Luxury, by and by sinking into Hell.  And here is Lazarus, driven away from his Doors, by and by to be receiv’d into Abraham’s Bosom.

Ti. We don’t very well know this Story.

Eu. It is Cleopatra contending with Anthony, which should be most luxurious; she has drunk down the first Pearl, and now reaches forth her Hand for the other.  Here is the Battel of the Centaurs; and here Alexander the Great thrusts his Launce through the Body of Clytus.  These Examples preach Sobriety to us at Table, and deter a Man from Gluttony and Excess.  Now let us go into my Library, it is not furnish’d with very many Books, but those I have, are very good ones.

Ti. This Place carries a Sort of Divinity in it, every Thing is so shining.

Eu. You have now before you my chiefest Treasure:  You see nothing at the Table but Glass and Tin, and I have in my whole House but one Piece of Plate, and that is a gilt Cup, which I preserve very carefully for the Sake of him that gave it me.  This hanging Globe gives you a Prospect of the whole World.  And here upon the Wall, are the several Regions of it describ’d more at large.  Upon those other Walls, you have the Pictures of the most eminent Authors:  There would be no End of Painting them all.  In the first Place, here is Christ sitting on the Mount, and stretching forth his Hand over his Head; the Father sends a Voice, saying, Hear ye him:  the Holy Ghost, with outstretch’d Wings, and in a Glory, embracing him.

Ti. As God shall bless me, a Piece of Work worthy of Apelles.

Eu. Adjoining to the Library, there is a little Study, but a very neat one; and ’tis but removing a Picture, and there is a Chimney behind it, if the Cold be troublesome.  In Summer-Time it passes for solid Wall.

Ti. Every Thing here looks like Jewels; and here’s a wonderful pretty Scent.

Eu. Above all Things, I love to have my House neat and sweet, and both these may be with little Cost.  My Library has a little Gallery that looks into the Garden, and there is a Chapel adjoining to it.

Ti. The Place itself deserves a Deity.

Eu. Let us go now to those three Walks above the other that you have seen, that look into the Kitchen Garden.  These upper Walks have a Prospect into both Gardens; but only by Windows with Shutters; especially, in the Walls that have no Prospect into the inner Garden, and that’s for the Safety of the House.  Here upon the Left-Hand, because there is more Light, and fewer Windows, is painted the whole Life of Jesus,
