A GARDEN 13 THE PUREST OF HUMAN PLEASURES, JT IS THE GREATEST 

 REFRESHMENT TO THE SPIRITS OF MAN; WITHOUT WHICH BUILDINGS 

 AND PALACES ARE BUT GROSS HANDY-WORKS. AND A MAN SHALL EVER 

 SEE, THAT WHEN AGES GROW TO CIVILITY AND ELEGANCY, MEN COME 

 TO BUILD STATELY, SOONER THAN TO GARDEN FINELY: AS IF GAR- 

 DENING WERE THE GREATER PERFECTION.
