Town with eleven Guns, which they were to 

 anfwer, as they did, with an equal number : 

 and after a little paufe, they faluted the Ain-

 fwered with as many. After this, the Duke 

 and Senate fent the Mafter of the Ceremo- 

 nies to wait upon the Ambaflador : who go- 

 ing away, returned foon after with a Prefent 

 of Calves, Fowl,- Wine, Sweetmeats, &c. 

 and acquainted his Lordfhip, that they had 

 deputed fix of their Gentlemen to Comple- 

 ment him, and wait upon him ; which Civi- 

 lity he thought fit to refufe, defiring to be 

 Incognito. But however, going afhore, he was 

 welcomed by the the Illufirijftmi Signiori^ the 

 Buraz^z^o^s^ two Brothers, the elder of which 

 had been Ambaflador for the Republick, in 

 the Court of England^ and the other at Con^

 Weft ward, lying under an high Hill, upon 

 the rifing of which the feveral Houfes, built 

 of Marble, afford a very fine Profped, and 

 add much to the Beauty and Glory of the 

 place. Strada nuova perchance is the moft 

 ftately Street in the whole World. The new 

 Church of the Amunciata^ built by the Lo- 

 metlini^ where a thoufand may go up the ftairs 

 abreaft at the fame time, for curious Paint- . 

 ing, rich Altars, and exaftnefs of Archite- 

 fture, incomparable. The Duome alfo and 

 the Church of the Thcatins very ftately and 

 curious. Other matters I purpofely omit*
