been: famething more pains beftowed upon it, than the

This was formerly no unhandfom Strudure, being built 
in the form of our Churches, and diftinguiiht into three 
Ifles, of which the middle one is fnpported by eighteen 
turned' Marble Pillars, with Capitals upon them, not of 
Marble, but of a fort of Clay, and Caft into the (hape 
they are in/ but of a colour exatfily refembling the Pillar

to the Eaft. The fight of the River was a very pleafing 
Profped ; and to our great comfort, we found the Water 
very clear, happening to be there before the Rains, and 
after the Snow-Waters (which fwell and difturb it in the. 
Summer-time) were all paft : and our Happinefs feemed 
the greater, having had fo tedious and thirfty a Journey 
of at leaft Iburieen hours, and neither our Selves nor 
our Horles toucht a drop of Water all day. We pitcht 
upon a Reach of the River, where it was not very broad, 
not being above half a Musket-ftiot over.
