Therefore, Care would be had[1] that, (as it fareth[2] in ill Purgings) the Good be not taken away with the Bad; which commonly is done, when the People is the Reformer.

OF TRAVAILE[3]
Travaile[3], in the younger Sort,[4] is a Part of Education; In the Elder, a Part of Experience. He that travaileth into a Country, before he hath some Entrance into[5] the Language, goeth to Schoole, and not to Travaile. That Young Men travaile under some Tutor, or grave Servant, I allow well;[6] So that[7] he be such a one that hath[8] the Language and hath been in the Country before; whereby he may be able to tell them what Things are worthy to be scene in the Country where they goe; what Acquaintances they are to seeke; What Exercises or discipline the Place yeeldeth.[9] For else young Men shall goe hooded,[10] and looke abroad little. It is a strange Thing that in Sea voyages, where there is nothing to be scene but Sky and Sea, Men should make Diaries; but in Land-Travaile, wherin so much is to be observed, for the most part they omit it; As if Chance were fitter to be registred then Observation.[11] Let Diaries, therefore, be brought in use. The Things to be scene and observed are: The Courts of Princes, specially when they give Audience to Ambassadours; The Courts of Iustice, while they sit and heare Causes; And so of Consistories Ecclesiasticke;[12] The Churches, and Monasteries, with the Monuments which are therein extant; The Wals and Fortifications of Cities and Townes; And so the Havens and Harbours; Antiquities
