           after
           some
           few
           dayes
           we
           parted
           from
           
             Naples
          
           to
           
             Rome

           treading
           the
           same
           path

           had

           they
           made
           us
           pay
           five
           times
           ,
           for
           our
           Vallees

           no
           prohibited
           goods

           entrance
           they
           let
           us
           passe
           quietly

             Rome
          
           I
           saw
           nothing
           observable
           ,
           but

           sight

           little
           use
           of
           walking
           a
           foot
           there
           ,
           are
           still
           carrying
           some
           passenger

           Every
           noble
           
             Venetian
          
           keeps

           Hence
           one
           may
           easily
           conjecture
           how
           populate
           
             Venice

           for
           the
           number
           of
           
             Gondolas
          
           is
           40000.
           so
           that
           in
           case
           of
           necessity
           ;
           the
           Boatmen
           would
           make
           a
           considerable
           army
           ,
           for
           every
           
             Gondola
          
           hath
           a
           Rower
           ,
           and

           better
           sort
           too
           .
           And
           now
           I
           am
           on
           the
