i Laterano_ on the Mount _Celio_, and that of _San Giacomo di Augusta_ in the Valley _Martia_, besides many others of less Note. Here may he see the Rarities and Antiquities of this once renowned Empress of the World, from whence he may visit the renowned City of _Naples_, and take a Survey of the Antiquities of the Nature of _Pazzoli_. Having thus in all Particulars satisfied his Curiosity, may consult about the most advantageous Ways homeward, which is to embark for _Leghorn_, or _Genoa_, where he cannot fail of _English_ Shipping. Or else may take a Tour by Land to _Milan_, where he will see the finest Hospital, and the strongest Citadel in _Europe_.

How very few go through this Course of Improvement, we too readily discover, and may be reproved by the first beginning of the Practice among the Ancients, where we find the Method then in use, to train up Youth to the Profession, was to place them Apprentices with able Physicians, who adjudged it necessary to take their Beginning from Surgery, the Subject whereof being external Diseases, as Wounds, Swellings, Members out of joint, and others that were visible, proved more facile and easy to their inmate Capacities, and wherein they might suddenly become serviceable to their Masters, in easing them of the Trouble of dressing and cleansing stinking Ulcers, and applying Ointments and Plaisters, a nauseous Employ, which they ever endeavour'd to abandon to their Scholars with what Expedition possible: This as it was the easiest, so it was the first, and ancientest Part of Physick, and from which those that exe
