of the adoration of the golden calf are of the hand of Raphael dal Borgo. That where Josue commands the Sun to stop: that of Bersabe, and the like, are of the hand of Pierino del Vago. That of the Chariot and some others are of the hands of Caravagio. That of Moses striking the rock; that of the Judgment of Solomon; and some others are of the hand of Julio Romano. That of the Baptism of Christ, with other such like, are of the hand of Pellegrino da Modena. Yet because in all these pictures Raphael Urbin gave either the design, or some touches, this Gallery is called Raphaels Gallery: indeed nothing but the Divine history itself can be finer than this painting of Divine Raphael. And it belongs only to Rome to have the Bible set out thus in its own colours: and if pictures be the best books for ignorant people, who can say that the Bible is kept from the people here, seeing it's painted and printed here in the most vulgar tongue, and known language, pic-
tures?
