Is a Pearl perfectly round, the biggest I ever saw, and belongs to the Great Mogul. The like could never be found; for which reason the Great Mogul lays it up very charily, and never uses it. For if it could be match'd, both would make a Pair of Pendants for the Ears, set between Rubies or Emraulds, accor∣ding to the custom of the Country; there being no person of any quality that does not wear a Pearl between two colour'd Stones in his Ear.
