all things clearer , the countenances of men walking, the colours, Garments, andall things as if you stood hard by - you shall fee them with lo much pleasure , thatthose that fee it can never enough admire it. But if you will

See all things greater and clearer ,

Over against it set the Glass, not that which dissipates by dispersing, but which con-gregates by uniting, both by coming to it, and going from it, till you know the truequantity of the Image, by a due appropinquation of the Centre ; and so shall the be-holder see more fitly Birds flying, the cloudy skies, or clear aud blew, Mountainsthat are afar off; and in a small circle of paper (that is put over the hole) you shallfee as it were an Epitomy of the whole world, and you will much rejoyce to see it:all thing's backwards, because iheyareneer to the Centre of the Glass , if you secthem farther from the Centre, they will Ihew greater and upright, as they are, hutnot so clear. Hence you may,

If you cannot draw a Picture of a man or any things elje , draw it by this means -Tf you can but onely make the colour?. This is an Art worth learning. Let theSun beat upon the window, aed there about the hole, let therebe Pictures of men,that it may light upon them, but not upon the hole. Put a white paper against thehole, and you shall so long fit the men by the light, bringing them necr, or settingthem further,until the Sun cast a perfect: representation upon the Table against it tonethat is skill'd in painting, must lay on colours where they are in the Table, and shalldescribe the manner of the countenance; so thelmage being removed , the Picturewill remain on the Table, and in the superficies it will be seen as an.Imageina Glass.If you will

That all shall appear rights

This is a great secret i many have try ed ir, but none could obtain it r For some settingPlain Glasses obliquely against the hole, by reverberation against the Table, theyc ould fee some things somewhat direct, bur dark and not discernable. I oft-timesby putting a white paper obliquely against the hole, and locking just against thehole, could fee some things direct: but a Pyramis cut obliquely, did strew men with-out proportion, and very darkly. But thus you may obtain your desire: Put against the hole a convex Glass; from thence let the Image reflect on a Coneave-glafs: let the Concave-glass be distant from the Centre, for it will make those I-mages right, that it receives turned, by reason of the distance of the Centre. So up-on the hole and the white paper, it will cast the Images of the Objects so clearly andplainly, that you will not wonder a little. But this I thought fit to let you under-stand , left you fail in the work, that the Convex andConcave-glasses be proporti-onable circles: how you shall do this, will be here declared often. I shall shewalso, '

How in a Chamber you may fee Huntings Battles of Enemies , and ether delufons.

Now for a conclusion I will add that, then which nothing can be more pleasant forgreat men, and Scholars, and ingenious persons to behold ; That in a dark Chamberby white sheets objected , one may see as clearly and perspicuously, as if they werebefore his eyes , Huntings, Banquets, Armies of Enemies, Plays, and all thingselse that one desireth. Let there be over against that Chamber, where you desire torepresent these things, some spacious Plain, where the Sun can freely shine: Uponthat you shall set Trees in Order, also Woods, Mountains, Rivers, and Animals,that are really so, or made by Art, of Wood, or feme other matter. You must framelittle children in them, as we use to bring them in when Comedies are Acted: andyou must counterfeit Stags, Bores, Rhinoccrets, Elephants, Lions, and what othercreatures yon please: Then by degrees they must appear, as coming out of their dens,upon the Plain j The Hunter he must come with his hunting Pole, Nets, Arrows,and other necessaries , that may represent hunting: Let there be Horns, Cornets,Trumpets sounded : those that are in the Chamber shall see Trees, Animals, Hun-ters Faces, and all the rest so plainly, that they cannot tell whether they be true
