Of rural and exterrfive Gariemng. 47 

 ducks and Corn Fields^ fometimes thro* wild 

 Coppices, and Gardens, and ionietitries by- 

 puriing Brooks and Streams, Places that are 

 let oft not by nice Art, but by luxury of Na- 

 ture, a little guided in her Extravagancies 

 by the Artifts Hand, while fometimes it may 

 not be improper unexpecfledly to fall into a 

 liftle corrcA, and elaborate Garden 5 bur, as 

 thofe Ihould not be too often fo, they ought 

 not to be too large. 



Again, why Ihould we be at that great Ex- 

 pence of levelling ofHills, or filling up of Dales, 

 when they are the Beauty of Nature? Why 

 (hould we efteem nothing but large regular 

 Walks, the only Charafterifticks of a noble 

 Seat ? But, for diverfity, (hould not rather 

 mix therewith Serpentine Meanders , andin- 

 flcad of levelling Hills or filling up Dales, 

 fliould think it more entertaining to be fome- 

 times on the Precipice of a Hill viewing all 

 round and under us, and at other times in a 

 Bottom, viewing thofe goodly Hiib snd 

 Theatres of Wood and Corn that are above 

 us, and prcfent thcmfclves every where to 

 our View ? And, if we have not fuch by Na- 

 ture, to create them by Art, by digging a Hole 

 in one place, to make a Hill in another ,• and 

 fo to make the moft level Country (which of 

 all others is theJeaR beautiful) as delightful 

 a& any thing that Nature throws ii> our way 

 or .Art can create* .• ,
