placed directly over the picture of a man, contracts into it the picture of a woman (that mans wife) which you see plainly in it: drawing thus Eve out of Adam again by a curious reflexion.
In the third Cabinet I was shown a curious table of polish'd stones representing perfectly the Town and Haven of Ligorne.The 3. Cabinet. A great Cabinet of Ebony beset with precious stones on the outside, and with the History of the holy Scriptures curiously expressed in miniature in several little squares of rich stones set here and there. In the top of it there is a German Clock, now out of order, and no man dare mend it. Within this great Cabinet I saw the passion of our Saviour curiously cut by Michael Angelo in Ivory (say they) but I believe its in white Waxe. There is also in it the figures of our Saviour and his twelve Apostles in yellow amber, with their heads in white amber: All these several Pieces are not seen at once, but come up into sight one after another, as the man turns them.
