richer; an emmeraud not inferiour to the rest; a pearl as big as an ordinary wallnut; a world of Diamonds and other lesser stones, but all of so great value, that this Cabinet, with that which is in it, is valued to be worth five hundred thousand Crowns. Lastly, I saw here the great round Table made of inlaid pretious stones polished neatly; a table able to make the most hungry stomack forget its grumbing, to feed its eyes upon the unroasted birds which together with curious flowers compose this admirable table; Pearles, Rubies, Saphirs, Cornelians, Emmerauds, Lapis Lazuli, &c are employed here artificially to the making of these birds & flowers. You'l conceive better of this Table when I shall tell you, that its worth a hundred thousand Crowns, and that it was fifteen years in making, and yet thirty men wrought at it dayly. In the midst of it is the great Ball of the Armes of the Duke of Florence in pretious stones.
