tipon arches of Jîone, and endÎ7îg wlth two other fummer-' 

 houfes even ivith the cloijiersy ivhich ai'e paved withjione, and 

 defigned for walks offiade, there being none other in the whole 

 parterre. Over thefe two cloîjîers are two terrajfes covered 

 iiûîth îead and fenced with balujîers -, and the pajfage into thefe 

 airy walks is ont of the two fwnmer-houfes at the end of 

 thefirji terras-walk. The cloijier facing the fout h is covered 

 ^ith "vines, and woiild hâve been proper for an orange-houfe, 

 and the other for myrtles or other more common greens, and 

 had, I doubt not, been cajî for that purpofe, if this pièce of 

 gardening had been then in as mue h vogue as it is now. 



" From the middle of this parterre is a defcent by many Jîeps 

 flying on eachfde of a grotto that lies between them, covered 

 with Jead-andflat, into the lower garden, whîch is ail fruit- 

 trees ^ranged about the feveral quarters of a wildernefs which 

 is very JJdady, the walks hère are ail green^ the grotto em- 

 bellijhed with figures of ficll-rock-work, fountains, and water- 

 ivorks. If the hill had not ended mlth the lower garden, and 

 the wall were not bounded by a common way that goes through 

 the park, they might hâve added a third quart er of ail greens -, 

 but this want is fuppUed by a garden on the other fde of 

 the houfe, which is ail of that fort y very wild, Jhady, and 

 adorned with rough rock-work and fountains.
