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