First, you must choose out a fine soile, which hath water and wood annexed vnto it, and forecast in your minde whether the pro∣spect too and fro be decent and pleasant to the eye. For I am of this opinion, that if the eye be not satisfied, the minde cannot be plea∣sed: if the minde be not pleased, nature doth
abhorre, and if nature doth abhorre, death at last must consequently follow. Next you must marke, whether the ayre which com∣passeth the situation of your house, be of a pure substance, and that shortly after the Sunne is vp groweth warme; and contrarily groweth cold after the Sunne is set. Thirdly, you must make your foundation vpon a gra∣uell ground mixt with clay, vpon a hill, or a hils side. Fourthly, looke that your windowes be Northward or Eastward. Lastly, when your house is finished, you must prepare a Garden replenished with sundry kindes of hearbs and flowers, wherein you may recre∣ate and solace your selfe at times conue∣nient.
