         EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
         EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
         The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
         Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
         Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
         Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
         The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
         Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

           Horses
           for
           Aix
           ,
           which
           is
           about
           two
           days
           Journey
           or

           days
           and
           a
           half
           a
           most
           .
           If
           You
           depart
           from
           Avignion
           early
           in
           the
           morning
           You
           will
           have
           time
           enough
           to
           see
           Vauclus
           ,
           which
           is
           three
           Leagues
           from
           Avignion
           and
           then

           Dine
           at
           Cavaillion
           .
           I
           look
           upon
           Vaucluse
           as
           one
           of
           the
           most
           considrable
           things
           I
           have
           ever
           seen
           :
           it
           is
           a
           fountain
           at
           the
           foot
           of
           a
           great
           Rock
           very
           Large
           and
           ●f
           immense
           deepness
           ,
           which
           poures
           out
           so
           much
           Water
           as
           to
           Move
           four
           or
           five
           Milnes
           about
           half
           a
           Mile
           below
           .
           It
           is
           observed
           that
           the
           Water
           Diminishes
           and
           increases
           according
           to
           the
           season
           of
           the
           Year
           .
           In
           rainy
           Weather
           it
           abounds
           most
           ,
           and
           Yet
           when
           you
           consider
           the
           position
           of
           it
           ,
           how
           much
           it
           is
           elevated
           above
           the
           plain
           ,
           and
           what
           vast
           hills
           and
           Rocks
           are
           about
           it
           ,
           It
           is
           not
           conceaveable
           with
           what
           other
           Water
           ▪
           it
           should
           have
           any
           communion
           .
           The
           River
           that
           comes
           from
           it
           tumbles
           over
           so
           many
           stones
           and
           Craigs
           ;
           that
           it
           makes
           a
           noise
           like
           the
           Catarracks
           ,
           and
           having
           neer
           three
           quarters
           of
           a
           Mile
           to
           
           fall
           ,
           it
           becomes
           exceeding
           swift
           before
           it
           arrive
           the
           Plain
           ,
           and
           there
           divides
           it self
           in
           two
           ,
           and
           incloses
           a
           litle
           Meadow
           in
           Form
           of
           an
           Isle
           ,
           and
           then
           joyns
           again
           .
           The
           Water
           is
           so
           Clear
           ,
           finding
           nothing
           among
           the
           Rocks
           to
           Defile
           it
           ,
           that
           notwithstanding
           its
           Swiftness
           ,
           yet
           it
           hinders
           not
           the
           grass
           to
           grow
           in
           it's
           bed

           The

           is
           likewise
           recomended

           Trouts
           and
           Crawfish
           and
           it
           is
           agreeable
           to
           Reason
           they
           should
           be
           good
           that

           not

           it
           is
           not

           my
           Memory

           and
           indeed
           it
           is
           no
           great
           wonder

           they

           And
           this
           is
           one
           Reason
           of
           the

           is

           some
           part
           of
           the
           Reason

           narrowly

           not
           appear
           to
           be

           Gods.
           It
           had
           the
           Fortune
           to
           escape
           almost

           and
           fury

           Goths

           magnificence

           being
           so
           large
           and
           so
           flat
           without
           any
           Pillar
           ,
           to
           support
           it

           the
           middle

           The

           I
           think

           is
           for
           this
           Reason

           that

           commonly
           called
           
             Napoli

             Gentile

           Nor
           is
           it
           to
           be
           passed
           by
           ,
           that
           it
           gives
           name
           to
           a
           Kingdom
           ;
           which
           is
           not
           very
           Ordinary
           .
        
         
           The
           City
           is
           big
           and
           sumptuously
           built
           from
           the
           Sea
           to
           these
           pleasant
           Hills
           about
           it
           .
           It
           is
           very
           well
           fortified
           with
           strong
           Walls
           &
           Castles
           ,
           especially
           since
           the
           dayes
           of
           Charles
           V.
           who
           built
           the
           Castle
           of
           St.
           Elme
           and
           called
           it
           
             la
             Brilia
          
           ,
           that
           is
           ,
           Bridle
           ;
           intending
           to
           make
           it
           so
           ,
           to
           the
           mutinous
           Humour
           of
           that
           people
           ,
           and
           it
           may
           be
           alluding
           to
           the
           Armes
           of
           the
           City
           ,
           which
           is
           an
           unbridled
           Horse
           ;
           the
           exact
           emblem
           of
           the
           disposition
           of
           that
           people
           ,
           as
           witness
           the
           innumerable
           Tumults
           and
           revolts
           both
           of
           old
           and
           late
           Years
           made
           by
           them
           .
           I
           confess
           there
           is
           no
           small
           occasion
           given
           them
           by
           the
           severe
           domination
           of
           Strangers
           over
           them
           ;
           and
           it
           is
           strange
           that
           having
           so
           many
           brave
           and
           valourous
           Men
           amongst
           them
           ,
           they
           
           should
           more
           readily
           agree
           to
           submit
           their
           necks
           to
           the
           Yoak
           of
           a
           Stranger
           ,
           than
           to
           the
           sweet
           Scepter
           of
           a
           Native
           of
           their
           own
           number
           and
           Nation
           .
           It
           is
           thought
           the
           great
           emulation
           ,
           (
           which
           the
           Spaniards
           as
           wisely
           ,

           industriously
           keep
           up

           amongst

           Princes
           ,
           who
           are
           but
           too
           numerous
           for
           the
           extent
           of
           the
           Kingdom
           ,
           is
           the
           great
           cause
           of
           their
           unhappiness

           It
           is
           called
           
             la

           is
           very
           near
           a
           mile

           the
           breadth
           of

           one
           Coach
           may
           pass
           another
           with
           ease

           And
           for
           the
           Hight
           ,
           I
           believe
           a
           man
           on
           Horseback
           will
           hardly

           the
           Roof

           with
           a
           Lance

           At
           the
           two
           ends
           it
           is
           some
           what
           higher
           than
           in
           the
           middle
           ,
           I
           think
           of
           purpose
           that
           the
           light
           might
           enter
           the
           farther
           .
           When
           You
           enter
           at
           the
           one
           end
           You
           
           will
           very
           hardly
           perceive
           the
           light
           in
           the
           other
           end
           ,
           but
           as
           You
           advance
           it
           begins
           to
           appear
           by
           little
           and
           little
           .
           In
           the
           Just
           middle
           of
           it
           ,
           on
           that
           side
           which
           is
           next
           the
           Sea
           ,
           there
           is
           a
           little
           Chapell
           ,
           where
           a
           Lamp
           is
           keept
           continually
           burning
           ,
           but
           it
           is
           more
           out
           of
           Devotion
           than
           for
           any
           light
           it
           gives
           :
           betwixt
           the
           Chapell
           and
           the
           end
           ,
           as
           it
           were
           about
           the
           middle
           on
           every
           side
           of
           the
           Chapell
           there
           is
           a
           hole
           cutt
           thro'
           the
           Hill

           serveth
           for
           a
           window

           but
           it
           gives
           little
           light
           .
           It
           is
           exceeding
           dusty
           ,
           especeially

           Rain
           to

           and
           none
           takes
           pains
           to

           the

           which
           instantly
           extinguishes
           ,
           as

           as
           for
           the
           Dogs
           he
           holds
           their
           Nose
           into
           the
           Vapour
           ,
           and
           instantly
           they
           begin
           to
           fetch
           their
           Breath
           thick
           ,
           and
           in
           a
           very
           little
           space
           are
           quite
           suffocated
           .
           If
           ye
           let
           them
           ly
           long
           ,
           they
           will
           never
           recover
           ,
           but
           if
           ye
           take
           them
           immediately
           when
           they
           are
           fallen
           down
           and
           throw
           them
           into
           the
           Lake
           ,
           they
           will
           by
           little
           and
           little
           returne
           to
           live
           again
           .
           I
           guesse
           this
           Vapour
           to
           be
           so
           much
           like
           the

           that
           are
           sometimes
           found
           in
           our
           Coal-pitts
           ,
           only
           ,
           with
           us
           ,
           they
           are
           soon
           dissipated
           ,
           but
           here
           this
           lasteth
           
           continuallie
           ,
           and
           (
           which
           is
           yet
           more
           strange
           )
           in
           an
           open
           Air
           ;
           but
           it
           may
           be
           the
           openness
           of
           the
           Air
           is
           the
           Reason
           why
           the
           Vapour
           ascendeth
           no
           higher
           .
           I
           remember
           one
           of
           our
           Dogs
           did
           recover
           without
           being
           thrown
           into
           the
           Lake
           ,
           which
           makes
           me
           believe
           ,
           that
           it
           is
           not
           any
           peculiar
           Vertue
           in
           the
           water
           (
           as
           is
           commonly
           said
           )
           that
           restoreth
           them
           to
           life
           ,
           but
           only
           the
           freedom
           of
           the
           Air
           ,
           with
           the
           help
           whereof
           Nature
           reinforceth
           it self
           ,
           the
           life
           being
           yet
           not
           quite
           extinct
           ,
           which
           is
           cleared
           by
           this
           ,
           that
           if
           they
           lye
           any
           considerable
           time
           in
           the
           cave
           ,
           neither
           Air
           nor
           water
           will
           recover
           them
           .
           It
           is
           very
           True
           that
           ,
           That
           which
           was
           thrown
           in
           the
           Lake
           recovered
           much
           sooner
           ,
           and
           better
           :
           whereas
           the
           other
           remained
           paralytick
           ,
           and
           impotent
           to
           move
           his
           hinder
           quarters
           :
           (
           tho'
           he
           could
           Sit
           upon
           his
           foremost
           Leggs
           and
           bark
           ▪

           almost
           two
           houres
           thereafter
           .
           It
           seems
           there
           is
           something
           in
           this
           Vapour
           or
           Damp
           that
           coagulats
           or
           fixes
           the
           Spirits
           ,
           that
           they
           cannot
           move
           or
           circulat
           in
           the
           Body

           From
           hence
           you
           take
           the
           Way
           to
           Pazzuolo
           ,
           near
           to
           which
           you
           will
           meet
           with
           a
           Place
           called
           
             la
             Solfatara
          
           ,
           it
           is
           a
           large
           plaine
           ,
           Oval
           in
           Figure
           ,
           representing
           a
           Theatre
           ,
           it
           is
           above
           1200
           Foot
           in
           length
           and
           1000
           in
           breadth
           ,
           it
           is
           compassed
           about
           with
           white
           &
           high
           Hills
           ,
           from
           which
           in
           many
           Places
           ,
           arise
           Clouds
           of
           smoak
           ,
           of
           a
           Sulphureous
           smell
           ,
           rolling
           up
           into
           the
           Air
           impetuously
           ,
           with
           great
           crackling
           .
           Some
           of
           these
           spiracles
           are
           very
           small
           ,
           so
           that
           it
           is
           a
           Pleasure
           ,
           to
           see
           the
           Smoake
           ascend
           ,
           by
           a
           direct
           line
           of
           the
           bigness
           of
           cane
           ,
           and
           sometimes
           smaller
           by
           much
           .
           About
           these
           spiracles
           you
           will
           see
           Quantitie
           of
           the
           Flowres
           of
           Brimstone
           sublimed
           ;
           but
           I
           suspect
           the
           internal
           use
           of
           them
           ,
           because
           of
           the
           mixture
           of
           other
           minerals
           wherewith
           they
           may
           be
           infected
           :
           But
           for
           external
           uses
           ,
           I
           am
           not
           so
           doubtfull
           ,
           as
           also
           of
           the
           Spirit
           which
           by
           the
           help
           of
           convenient
           Glasses
           might
           be
           gathered
           in
           aboundance
           from
           these
           spiracles
           .
           When
           you
           consider
           the
           plaine
           you
           will
           wonder
           to
           hear
           it
           sound
           under
           your
           Horse-feet
           ,
           as
           you
           were
           Riding
           over
           a
           large
           Floore
           ,
           which
           is
           caused
           
           by
           the
           Vacuitie
           underneath

           All
           the
           Hills
           about
           abound
           in
           veines
           of
           Allum
           whereof
           some
           is

           &
           Salt
           Armoniac
           .
           The
           Vitriol
           is
           of
           a
           Delicat
           blew
           Colour
           and
           much
           finer
           than
           that
           which
           is
           commonly
           called
           Roman-Vitriol
           .
           It
           will
           be
           worth
           your
           while
           to
           take
           particular
           notice
           of
           these
           minerals
           ,
           how
           they
           are
           extracted
           out
           of
           their
           mines

           what
           differences
           there
           are
           of
           every
           Species
           ,
           how
           they
           are
           mixed
           with
           one
           another
           sometimes
           ,
           by
           what
           Art
           they
           are
           purified
           ,
           and
           with
           what
           Instruments
           ,
           and

           put

           I
           would
           have
           you
           take

           along
           with
           you
           ,
           which
           you

           before
           you
           to
           Rome

           Having
           done
           these
           things

           writing
           to
           Atticus
           saith
           
             quid

           which
           is
           Chieflly
           to
           be

           which
           stood
           upon
           the
           
           Shoare

           chiefly
           the
           Goldsmiths
           ,
           had
           their
           Shops
           ,
           whereof
           there
           remaines
           little
           now
           except

           And

           possessed
           by
           the
           Dominicans
           ,
           when
           the

           I
           remember
           there
           came

           they

           little

           It
           is
           compassd
           about
           with
           small
           Hills
           which
           they
           say
           were
           formerly
           covered
           with
           Trees
           ,
           that
           did
           over
           shaddow
           the
           water

           it
           look
           black
           ,
           and
           likewise
           did
           hinder
           the
           Sulphureous
           Vapours
           that
           did
           arise
           from
           the
           water
           to
           dissipat

           so
           that
           the
           Air
           being
           infected
           with
           these
           vapours
           became
           so
           noysome
           especially
           to
           Fowls
           ,
           that
           they
           could
           not
           live
           in
           it
           ,
           and
           hence
           came
           the
           Name
           Avernus
           .
           At
           present
           there
           is
           little

           Wood
           about

           in
           other
           places
           about
           ,
           and
           I
           have
           seen
           Fowles
           
           haunting
           about
           it
           and
           swimming
           in
           it
           .
           It
           is
           said
           to
           be
           very
           deep
           &
           for
           that
           reason
           without
           Fish
           but
           I
           am
           not
           certain
           hereof

           cutt
           into
           the
           Hill

             Antrum

             Sybilla
          
           ,
           but
           not
           truly
           ,
           for
           the
           true
           Cave
           of
           Sybill●
           is
           at
           C●●●a
           .
           This
           seems
           rather
           to
           have
           been
           a
           common
           passage
           from

           to

           but
           is
           now
           stopt
           at
           the
           one
           end
           by
           the

           The
           passage
           is
           large
           and
           High
           ,
           but
           altogether
           dark
           ,
           and
           therefore
           You
           must
           be
           guided
           by
           Torch
           light
           .
           When
           You
           are
           got
           a
           good
           way
           in

           upon
           the
           one
           side
           there
           is
           a
           little
           narrow
           passage
           of
           about
           three
           or
           fourscore
           foot
           in

           Vesuvius

           the

           of
           which
           one
           is
           much
           abated
           of
           its
           length
           by
           the
           burning

           Before
           the
           first
           eruption
           of
           the
           Fire
           ,
           it
           was
           much
           higher
           than
           the
           other

           but
           now
           it
           is

           much
           the
           lower

           It
           is
           not
           easily
           accessible
           both
           in
           regard
           of
           its
           steepness
           ,
           and
           the
           great
           Quantitie

           becomes
           slippery

           In
           the
           ascending
           ,
           you
           may
           take
           nottice
           of
           many
           several

           some
           narrower
           and
           shallower
           made
           by
           the
           Torrents
           of

           which
           Boyled

           great
           eruption
           it
           made
           ,
           which
           torrents
           were
           carried
           several
           
           Miles
           into

           without
           being
           quenched
           ,
           and
           killed
           the
           Fishes
           in
           the
           middle
           of
           the
           deep

           You
           may
           likeways
           take
           notice
           of
           the

           Mineral

           which

           over
           the
           whole
           Hill.
           When
           you
           come
           at
           the
           Top
           you
           will
           see
           the
           great
           Gulf
           made
           by
           the
           several
           eruptions
           ,
           which
           is
           suposed
           to
           be
           six
           Miles
           in
           compasse
           about
           the
           Brimmes
           ,
           so
           that
           it
           makes
           a
           very
           large
           plain
           Field
           at
           the
           Bottom
           ,
           that
           in
           deepness
           from
           the

           a
           hundred
           Yards

           covered
           with
           Ashes
           ,
           and
           nothing
           green
           in
           it
           ,
           except

           few
           Tufts

           of
           I
           cannot
           tell
           what
           ,
           not
           being
           able

           The

           Bottom
           at
           some
           places
           seems
           to
           be
           easie
           enough
           ,
           but
           we
           could
           find
           none
           so
           hardie

           show
           us
           the
           way

           altho'
           some
           of
           our
           Guides
           had
           undertaken
           it
           before
           ,
           and
           to
           speak
           truth
           ,
           it
           is
           no
           great
           discretion
           to
           venture
           so
           far
           down
           upon
           a
           Ground
           ,
           which
           probably

           being
           nothing
           in
           appearance
           but
           a
           
           Field
           of

           about

           the
           reason
           they
           give
           for
           it
           is
           very
           apparent
           ,
           that
           the
           Builders
           mistook
           the
           perpendicular

           very
           crooked

           just
           a
           falling

           I
           had
           the
           Curiositie
           to

           I
           could
           ,
           and
           rather
           because
           I
           thought
           I
           might
           more
           easily
           discover
           the
           situation

           Country

           but
           I
           had
           much
           Reason
           to
           repent
           me
           :

           and
           rotten
           ,
           so
           that
           I
           was
           in
           continuall
           apprehension
           of
           falling
           ,
           and
           one
           slip
           would
           have
           done

           since
           that
           time
           they

           There
           are

           few
           Streets
           built
           on
           both
           sides

           The

           a
           great
           commoditie

           scarce
           a
           House
           in
           the
           Town

           be
           carried
           this
           way

           either
           close

           a
           few
           steps
           of

           The

           the
           narrowest
           is
           broad
           enough
           for
           one
           Gondole
           to
           go
           by
           another

           the
           Hill
           ,
           which
           you
           would
           think
           steep
           enough
           for
           Goats
           to

           will
           trist
           the
           stones
           to
           step
           upon
           ,
           which
           lye
           confusedly
           here
           and
           there
           ,
           as
           exactly
           as
           if
           they
           were
           a
           paire
           of
           stairs
           and
           yet
           they
           will
           not
           fall
           once
           in
           500
           times
           ,
           and
           if
           they
           should
           it
           would
           be
           a
           fall
           without
           any
           great
           Perill
           .
           But
           indeed
           the
           danger
           on
           the
           Italian
           side
           is
           much
           greater
           ;
           there

           where
           into
           ,
           if
           one
           should
           fall
           it
           were
           impossible
           to
           escape
           ,
           insomuch
           that
           I
           have
           often
           wondred
           how
           any

           upon
           a
           Beasts
           back
           :
           and
           yet
           is
           admirable
           to
           see
           with
           it
           what

           30
           Dish
