On the top of the houses of his Palace and Treasury, stand Earthen Pots at each corner; which are for ornament; or which is a newer fashion, something made of Earth resembling Flowers and Branches.

And no Houses besides, except Temples, may have these placed upon them.

The contrivance of his Palace is, as I may say, like Woodstock Bower, with many turnings and windings, and doors, he himself having ordered and contrived all these Buildings, and the manner of them.

At all the Doors and Passages stand Watches: and they who thus give attendance are not to pass without special Order from one place to another, but are to remain in that place or at that Gate, where the King hath appointed them.

By means of these contrivances it is not easie to know in what part or place his Person is, neither doth he care they should.
[Strong Guards about his Court.] He has strong Watches night and day about his Court.
