A13781	A true and strange discourse of the trauailes of two English pilgrimes what admirable accidents befell them in their iourney to Ierusalem, Gaza, Grand Cayro, Alexandria, and other places: also what rare antiquities, monuments, and notable memories (concording with the ancient remembrances in the holy Scriptures), they saw in Terra Sancta, with a perfect description of the old and new Ierusalem, and scituation of the countries about them. A discourse of no lesse admiration; then well worth the regarding: written by one of them, on the behalfe of himselfe, and his fellowe pilgrime.

shewed vs was the place iudiciall next the house of Veronica sancta and demanding of them what Saint that was they told me it was shee that did wipe our Sauiours face as he passed by in his agonie Descending a little lower in the same street they shewed mee the way which our Sauiour went to crucifying called by them Via dolorosa Then on the right hand in the same street I was showne the house of the rich glutton at whose gate poore despised Lazarus lay Holding on our way downe this streete wee came to a turning passage on the left hand whence they tolde me Simon Sirenus was comming toward the Dolorous way when the Soldiours seeing him called him and compeld him against his will to helpe our Sauiour to carie his crosse Then they told mee that in the same place the people wept when Christ answering said vnto them Oh daughters of Ierusalem weepe not for mee c. Next they shewed me the Church where the virgine Marie fell into an agonie when Christ passed by carying his Crosse. Afterward they brought mee to Pilates Palace which though it be all ruinated yet is there an olde Arche of stone which is still maintained by the Christians and it standing full in the high way wee passed vnder it much like the way of passage vnder master Hammons house in the Bulwarke but that the Arch is higher for vpon that Arche is a Gallerie which admitteth passage ouer our heads from one side of the streete to the other for Pilates Palace extended ouer the high way on both sides and Pilate had two greate windowes in the saide Gallerie to gaze out both waies into the streete as master Hammon hath the like aduantage at both his windowes Into this Gallery was our Sauiour brought when hee was showen vnto the Iewes and they standing belowe in the street heard the words of Ecce homo A little from this place is the foote of the staires where our Sauiour did first take vp his Crosse. Then they brought mee to the place where the virgine Marie was conceiued and borne which is the Church of Saint Anna and no Turkish Church Next they shewed me the Poole where Christ cleansed the Leapers and then guiding mee to Saint Stephens gate a little without it vpon the left hand they shewed mee the stone wheron S. Stephen was stoned From hence I sawe the staires going vp to porte Aurea at which porte are diuers reliques to be seen it was the East gate of the Temple which Salomon built vpon mount Moria in which Temple was the place of Sanctum Sancterum but now in that place is builded a goodly greate Church belonging to the Turkes Thus spent I the second day being the 26. of March all within the gates of Ierusalem except my going to see the stone wherewith S. Stephen was stoned The next day being the 27. of March hauing done our dutie to God and the Pater Guardian we hyred Asses for the Friers and the Trouchman to ride on and going foorth the citie gates we mounted and rode directly toward Bythinea By the way as we rode they shewed me the place of the fruitlesse Fig-tree which Christ cursed next the Castle of Lazarus that Lazarus whome Christ loued so well for his house or Castle is in Bythinea but it is vtterly ruinated and nothing to be seene but the two sides of a wall In the same towne they shewed me the house of Marie Magdalen but al so ruinated that nothing is left of it but a piece of a wall there I sawe likewise Marthaes house consisting of three pieces of a wall and thence they brought me to the stone where the two sisters tolde Christ that Lazarus was deade from whence passing on they shewed me the place where our Sauiour raised Lazarus from death after he had lien three daies in the ground and where he was buried afterward when he died This place hath bin not ably kept from the beginning and is repaired still by the Christians but yet in poore and very bare sort and this is all that I saw in Bythinia FroÌ„ hence we rode vnto Mount Oliuet passing by Bethphage they brought me to the place where our Sauiour tooke the Asse and Colte when he rode to Ierusalem vpon Palme Sunday Riding from Bethphage directly to the North wee came to the foote of Mount Oliuet where they shewed me the place Benedicta of the virgin Maries Annunciation and ascending to the top of the Mount wee saw the place of our Sauiours Ascension at the sight whereof we said our Prayers and were commaunded withal to say 5. Pater nosters and 5. Aue Maries but we said the Lords praier tooke notice of the place and departed This is the very highest parte of Mount Oliuet and hence may be discerned many notable places as first West from it is the prospect of the new Cittie of Ierusalem Southwest from it may be seene the prospect of Mount Sion which is adioyning to new Ierusalem also in the valley betweene Sion and the mount whereon I stood I sawe the brooke Cedron the Poole Silo the Garden wherein our Sauiour praied the place where afterward he was betrayed and diuers other notable things in this valley of Gethsemanie as the Tombe of Absolon king Dauids sonne the Tombe of Iehoshaphat and others which I will speake of as I come to them Full South froÌ„ mount Oliuet I could see the places we came last from as all Bythinia and Bethphage also East North-east from this mount may be scene both the riuer of Iordan which is some 15. miles off and Iericho which is not so farre because it is to the Westward of Iordan From mount Oliuet East and East-South-east may be seene the lake of Sodome and Gomorrha which is some 100. miles long 8. miles ouer all these places I set with the Compasse when I was on mount Oliuet for I staied on the top of it some two houres and a halfe hauing a little Compasse about me Descending hence toward the foote Westward wee came to a place where the Friers told me that a woman called S. Pelagia did penaunce in the habit of a Frier whereat I smiling they demaunded why I did so I answered that to beleeue Pelagia was a Saint stood out of the compasse of my Creede they tolde me when I should come home at night they would shew me sufficient Authours for it but when I came home I had so much to doo in writing my notes out of my table bookes that I had no leysure to vrge their Authours for S. Pelagia By this time they brought vs to the place where our Sauiour did foresee the iudgement then where he made the Pater noster and then where the Apostles made the Creede From hence wee came to the place where Christ wept for Ierusalem thence to the place where the virgin Marie gaue the gyrdle to S. Thomas and then to the place where she prated for S. Stephen all these last

fiue pieces of ordinance there and they were betweene the gate and the relique of port Aurea which is to the southward and concerning the west side of the citie at the gate whereof I entred at my first arriuall it is verie strong likewise and hath fifteene pieces of ordinance lying neere togither and all of brasse This gate is also made of Iron and this West wall is altogither as long as the East wall but it standeth vpon the higher ground so that comming from the west to the west wall you can see nothing within the citie but the bare wall but vpon mount Oliuet comming towards the citie from the East you haue a verie goodly prospect of the citie by reason the citie standeth al on the edge of the hill To conclude this citie of Ierusalem is the strongest of all the cities that I haue yet seene in my iourney since I departed from the Grand Cayro but the rest of the countrey is very easie to be intreated yet in the citie of Ierusalem are three Christians for one Turke and many Christians in the countrey round about but they all liue poorely vnder the Turke Now concerning how the country about Ierusalem lyeth for your more easie and perfect vnderstanding I will familiarly compare the seuerall places w t some of our natiue English townes and villages according to such true estimation as I heer made of them Imagin then I begin with London as if it were the citie of Ierusalem The citie of Bethlem where Christ our Sauiour was born is from Ierusalem as Wansworth is from London I meane much vpon that point in distance The plaine of Mamre is from Ierusalem as Guildford is from London in which place or neere to it is the citie of Hebron where our father Abraham lyeth buried Beersheba is from Ierusalem as Alton is from London Ramoth Gylead is from Ierusalem as Reading is from London Gaza which is the South-west part of Palestine is from Ierusalem as Salisbury is from London Ascalon is from Gaza North-east Ioppa is from Ierusalem as Alberry is from London Samaria is from Ierusalem as Royston is from London The câ—â—ie of Nazareth is from Ierusalem as Norwich is from London From Nazareth to mount Tabor and Hermon is 5. miles North-east these two dost and very nerre together Tabor being the greater From Tabor to the Sea Tyberias is eight miles northeast From Ierusalem to mount Sinai is ten daies iourney and north-east thence These places last spoken of beginning at Samaria I was not in but the other fiue Englishmen that met me in Ierusalem comming through Galilee they came through them and of them I had this description they receiued of me likewise the description of my iourney through Palestine The place where Christ fasted 40. daies and 40. nights called Quarranto is from Ierusalem as Chelmesford is from London The riuer Iordane the very neerest part of it is from Ierusalem as Epping is from London Iericho the neerest part of the plaine thereof is from Ieursalem as Lowton hall sir Robert Worths house is from London The Lake of Sodome and Gomorrah is from Ierusalem as Grauesend is from London The riuer Iordane runneth into this Lake and there dieth which is one of y â— greatest secrets in my minde in the world that a fresh water should runne continually into this salt Lake and haue no issue out but there dyeth and the saide Lake continuing still so salt as no waight of any reasonable substance will sinke into it but alwaies floateth as a deade man or a dead beast will neuer goe downe Nay more whatsoeuer is brought into it by the riuer Iordane of any reasonable poyze besides the water it abideth continually vpon the superficies of the Lake and so being tossed thereon by the force of weather maketh a cougealed forthe which frothe being driuen vp vpon y â— banks it becommeth a kinde of black substaÌ„ce like Pitch which there they cal Bytumen wherof I haue brought some part froÌ„ thence This Lake is about eight or nine miles broad an hundred miles in length stretching from the north where Iordane falles into it vnto the southward and hath no further issue that hath bene seene by any man The field where the Angell brought tydings of ioy to the Sheepheards is from Ierusalem as Greenwich from London Mount Oliuet is from Ierusalem as Bowe from London Bethanie is from Ierusalem as Blackwall from London Bethphage is from Ierusalem as Mile-end from London The valley of Gethsemanie is from Ierusalem as Ratcliffe fields from London The brooke Cedron is from Ierusalem as the ditch without Algate which runnes to the Tower from London Mount Sion is now adioyning to new Ierusalem as Southwarke to London Thus as plainely as the time afforded me haue I described vnto you the scituation of the city of Ierusalem and how the Country lyeth neere adioyning which by the familiar comparisons you may the easter vnderstand But come we now to the most especiall thing of all to see how iustly the Scriptures are fulfilled that Ierusalem should bee made a heape of stones the certainty and trueth whereof all such as haue bene there considering and marking it so deepely as I haue done are able to report for I could see no ground neer to the citie by fifteene or sixteene miles distance the plaine of of Iericho excepted but it is all a heape of stones yea and iâ— such exceeding abundance as I wonder how they can liue in it It forâ—uâ—ed my selfe M. Iohn and my Moore beeing within fiue miles of the citie and lodging in the fields all night I sent my Moore to a house not farre off to buy vs some breade for we had nothing to eate and he returning to vs brought vs word that the master of the house nor his children did euer eate any bread in all their liues for such is the poore estate of the country that a man may goe ten miles before you can see a plot of ground to feede a horse or a Cowe on yet the countries round about it as Palestine on the one side Galilie on the other and Syria to the west are all most goodly plentifull countries and Ierusalem it selfe which I thought to haue found the very fruitfullest place of all is the most barrennest place that I sawe in all my trauaile the deserts onely excepted I can compare no place in England therewith for the like sterilitie vnlesse the vnfruitfulst place in Cornwall where there is nothing but rockes and stones daily by the report of the inhabitants the stones growe and encrease more and more In briefe let all men that haue beene there or hereafter shall goe thither speake but rightly and without flattery and then they will say with mee that Ierusalem and fifteene miles about it euery way is no other then a heape of stones and the barrennest place in all Mesopotamia And I am of this minde that it is quite forsaken of the Lord for

were comming downe mount Oliuet towards the valley of Gethseminie where by the way we came to our Ladies Church wherein is her Sepulcher and the Sepulcher of her husband Ioseph with the Sepulcher of Anna and many others in that Church This Church standeth at the foote of Mount Oliuet and was built as they say by Helena the mother of Constantine the great here the Friers went into the virgin Maries sepulcher there either said Masse or Praiers while we in meane time went to dinner In this Church is a fountaine of exceeding fine water in regard we went downe into a vault as it were it giueth a meruailous loude Eccho or sound Hence went we to the Caue whether Iudas came to betray Christ wheÌ„ he was at prayer and thence to the Garden where our Sauiour left his Disciples commaunding them to watch and praie but found them sleeping at his returne then they brought me to the Garden where Christ was taken and all these last three were in the valley of Gethsemanie Riding vnto the towne whereof the valley beares name on the left hand I saw the before remembred Sepulchers of Absolon and Iehoshaphat and on the right hand the brooke Cedron which at my being there had not one drop of water in it for indeed it is but a ditche to conuay the water from the two hilles I meane Mount Oliuet and mount Sion when any store of raine falleth and this ditche or brooke Cedron is in the valley betweene both those hilles Hard by the brooke Cedron they shewed me a stone marked with the feete and elbowes of Christ in their throwing of him downe when as they tooke him and euer since say they haue those prints remained there From hence wee rode to the place where S. Iames the younger did hide himselfe and afterward was buried there there also they shewed where Zachariah the sonne of Barachiah was buried and brought me to another place where they say the virgin Marie vsed often to pray Then came we to the Poole of Silo wherein M. Burrell and I washed our selues and hence wee were shewen the place where the Prophet Esay was sawne in pieces thence they guided vs to an exceeding deepe Well where the Iewes as they say hid the holy fire in the time of Nabuchodonozor Here we ascended from the valley to a hill side which lieth iust South from mount Sion but there is a great valley betweene called Gehemion and there they shewed me the place where the Apostles hid themselues being a Caue in a rocke Ascending higher hence they brought me to the field or rather to be more rightly tearmed the Rocke where the common buriall place is for straungers being the very same as they say which was bought with the thirtie pieces of siluer that Iudas receiued as the price of his Maister which place is called Aceldoma and is fashioned as followeth It hath three holes aboue on the side there is a vent at the vpper holes they vse to let downe the dead bodies to the estimation of some 50. foote downe In this place I saw two bodies new or very lately let downe and looking downe for by reason of the three great holes aboue where the dead bodies lye it is very light I receiued such a sauour vp into my heade as it made me very sicke so that I was glad to entreat the Friers to goe no further but to returne home to the citie So here we went through the vallie of Gehemion and at the foote of mount Sion hauing a little bottle of water which I brought from the Poole Silo I branke and rested there an houres space eating a fewe Raisins and Oliues which wee brought with vs from Ierusalem in the morning After I had well rested and refreshed my selfe we began to ascend mount Sion and a little way vp the hill they shewed me the place where Peter hauing denyed Christ and hearing the Cock crowe went out and wept Ascending higher they shewed mee the house where y e virgine Marie dwelt which was near vnto y e Temple then they brought me to the place where the Iewes setting on the blessed virgine to take her she was conuayed away by miracle Hence we went to the house of Caiphas which was somwhat higher vpon mount Sion and there I sawe the prison wherein our Sauiour was detained Passing on still higher they guided mee to a little Chappell which is kept by the Armenians whereinto entring at the high Altar they shewed me y â— stone which was vpon our Sauiours Sepulcher as they say and it is neer to the place where Peter denyed Christ for there they shewed me the Piller whereon the Cocke stood when hee crowed Hence was I brought to the place where our Sauiour made his last Supper and thence I came where the holy Ghost descended vpon the Apostles whence passing on they shewed me the place where Christ appeared to his Disciples the eight day after his Resurrection when S. Thomas desired to see his woundes Neere to this place vpon mount Sion the virgin Marie died and hard by they shewed me a place bought by the Pope of the Turkes for buriall of the Europian Christians because he would not haue them cast into Aceldama they tolde vs that the yeare before fiue Englishmen were buried in that place whether by the Friers poisoning them or howsoeuer else it happened but we thought it straunge that all fiue should die together in one weeke Thence came we to the house of Annas the high Priest which is now but a paire of very old walles nothing else of it to be seene but at the side of one of the walles is an old Oliue tree whereto they told me that our Sauiour was fast bound and demaunding a further reason thereof they said that when he was brought vnto this house Annas being asleepe his people would not awake him so during their time of stay they bound him to the said Oliue tree and when he awaked then he was brought in and examined Departing hence toward the Southgate of the citie which standeth likewise vpon mount Sion wee alighted from our Asses and entring I noated it well for now I had seene three of the foure gates And being desirous to see the North-gate also they brought me to the Church of S. Thomas which is within the wall all ruinated then to the Churche of â— Marke whether Peter came being deliuered out of prison by y â— Angell that brake open the gate Then they shewed me the house of Zebedeus whence wee came to a place kept by the Abashenes there ascending first by a darke way ledde on by a line or corde wee attained to a high place neere to the Sepulchra sancta where I paid two pieces of siluer to goe in and being entred I demaunded what place it was the same quoth they where Abraham would haue sacrificed his senne Isaac Thence went wee to the prison wherein S. Peter and S. Iohn

euen from the top to the two third partes downward as it were through the brow and breast of y â— Rocke nor is the rent small but so great in some places that a man might easily hide himselfe in it and so groweth downeward lesse and lesse 9. The place where the three Maries annointed Christ after he was dead 10. where he appeared to Mary Magdalen in the likenesse of a Gardiner and hence we came to the Sepulcher it selfe which is the last place where they vse any prayers from whence I went to see the Tombes of Baldwin and Godfrey of Bulloigne and returning thence backe to the Sepulcher I measured the distaunce betweene place and place spending thus the time from fiue of the clocke before night when I went in vntill the next day at eleuen of the clocke at my comming foorth writing downe all things which I thought note-worthie My companion M. Iohn Burrell and I beyng thus come foorth of the Church we went to the Pater Guardians to dinner where we heard tidings that fiue other EnglishmeÌ„ were arriued at the citie gates directing towards Alepo Their names were M. William Bedle preacher to the English merchants which are Liegers at Alepo M. Edward Abbot seruaunt to the right Worshipfull sir Iohn Spenser M. Geffrey Kirbie seruant to the worshipfull M. Paule Banning and liegers for them in Alepo two other young men the one called Iohn Elkynes the other Iasper Tymne These fiue hearing of my being there came all to the house and these though they sawe not mine imprisonment nor were with me at the sight of those things in and about Ierusalem can witnesse that they were acquainted therewith at the gates and estfice the other truthes beside These men as also my companion M. Iohn Burrell I left behind me in Ierusalem departing thence to see other places in the countrie of Palestine but let me first tel you what I obserued in the cities scituation bâ—cause I was enfourmed before I came to see it that it was all ruined albeit on the sight thereof I found it otherwise hauing a little Compasse about me to set such places as I could easily come by Understand then first of all that the very heart of the olde citie was seated on mount Sion and mount Moria to the north part whereof was mount Caluarie without the gates of the old citie about a stones cast and no further But now I finde this newe citie scituated so farre to the North part that it is almost quite off of mouÌ„t Sion but yet not off mount Moria which was betweene mount Sion and mount Caluary so that now vndoubtedly the South walles of the citie are placed on the north foote of the hill of Sion The east wall which doth confront mount Oliuet is a great part of the ancient wall and so from the south-east angle north a quarter of a mile behinde mount Caluarie so that mount Caluarie which was in former times a stones cast without the citie and the appointed place for ordinarie execution I finde it to bee now seated in the hart or middle of the new citie This mouÌ„t Caluarie is not so high as to be called a mount but rather a pyked or aspyring Rocke for I noated the scituation of it both when I was at the toppe of it and when I came to the Sepulcher the Sepulcher being distant froÌ„ it I mean from the foote of it 173. foote as I measured it wherâ— vpon I conclude that the place of buriall which Ioseph of Aramathia made for him selfe was froÌ„ the foot of mouÌ„t Caluarie 173. foot westward in which place is the Sepulcher of our Sauiour The Sepulcher it selfe is two foote and a halfe high from the grounde eight foote in length and foure foote broade wanting three inches being couered with a faire stone of white colour Ouer the Sepulcher is a Chappell builded the North wall whereof is ioyned close with the North side of the Sepulcher and the Chappell is of like stone as the Sepulcher is consisting of fifteene foote in bredth fiue and twentie foote in length and about fortie foote in height In this Chappel are alwais burning thirtie or forty Lamps but vpon Festiuall daies more which are maintained by gifts giuen at the death of Christians in Spaine Florence other parts to be kept continually burning and the giuers of these Lamps haue their names ingrauen about the vpper edges of them in letters of golde standing in a band of gold or siluer This Chappell is inclosed with a Church and yet not it onely but therewith is circkled in all the before named holy places vz. where Christ was whipt where hee was in prison where his garments were deuided where the crosse was found where he was crowned with thornes where he was nailed on the crosse where the crosse stoode when he suffered where the vaile of the Temple rent where the three Maries annointed him where he appeared to Marie Magdalen in briefe al the most notable things either about mount Caluarie or Iosephes field of Aramathia are enclosed within the compasse of this Church which was builded by the fore-remembred Queene Helena mother to Constantine the greate shee being as I haue read in some Authors an English woman and daughter to king Coell that builded Colchester which being vrged to them they denyed it I measured this Church within and found it to bee 422. fadomes about the one side of it likewise I found to be 130. fadomes thus much for mount Caluarie which is in the middest of the citie now From the North-east angle of the citie to the North-west is the shortest way of the citie and from the North-west angle to the South-west is as farre as from the South-east to the North-east but from the South-west to the South-east which is the south wall that standeth on the foote of mount Sion I measured and found it to be 3775. foote which is about three quarters of a mile Upon this south-side of the citie is a great Iron gate about which gate are laide seauenteene pieces of brasse ordinance this gate is as great as the west gate of the Tower of London exceeding strong the walles being very thicke and on the south-side 50. or 60. foote high so much for the south wall and side of the citie The North wall is not altogither so long but much stronger for on the Northside it hath beene often surprized but on the southside neuer and on the East side it is impregnable by reason of the edge of the hill which it standeth on which is fiue times as high as the wall On the north side also are 25. pieces of brasse ordinance neere to the gate which is of Iron also but what is in other places as at the corners or angles I could not come to see and demaund I durst not The east wall containing the gate where saint Stephen was stoned a little without and to this day called saint Stephens gate I saw but
