The several wayes by which a man may go into Italy.
The ordinary wayes which an Englishman may take in going into Italy, are five: to wit, 1.either through Flanders and Germany; and so to fall in at Trent, or Treviso, and so to Venice. 2.Or else by France, and so to Marseilles, and thence to Genoa by Sea. 3.Or else by land from Lyons through Swisserland, the Grisons Country, and the Valtoline, and so pop up at Brescia. 4.Or else from Lyons again through the Valesians Country, over Mount Sampion, the Lake Major, and so to Milan. 5.Or else in fine, fram Lyons till, over Mount Cenis, and so to Turin, the nearest Post-way. I have gone, or come, all these wayes, in my five voyages into Italy, and though I preferre the last for speed and conveniency; yet I will describe the others too, that my young Traveller may know how to steer his course, either in time of Plague or warre,
