cially in Rome and Paris, the two chief Towns of long abode abroad. For let a man be of a Race as ancient as the Autocthenes of AthensPlutarch., who said they were as ancient as the Earth; and let him quarter his coat of Arms with the three Lyons of England, and the three Flower-de-lys of France, as I know a gentleman of Little Britany doth, (by the grant anciently of both those Kings) yet I dare boldly say this, that in Paris no colours blazon a mans nobility behind his Coach so much, as three Lacquies and a Page, in a handsome Livery. In other towns of France, where young gentlemen use to live, at first, till they get the language, a couple of sadle horses would be very useful, both to take the air on, as also to visit the gentry in the Countrey at their Summer Houses, where a Man will find great civilities and divertisements. Besides, riding out so in the fresh evenings of Summer, will not onely wean my young Gentleman from little company, and the crowd of his Countreymen, who will be then pressing upon him; but will also afford his Governour many fine solitary occasions of plying him alone with good coun-
'sels'
