Knights who are called Templers and they were the founders thereof and of their order and in that Templum Domini dwelled Chanons From this Temple toward the East xxvi paces in a corner of the Cittie is the Bathe of our Lord and this Bathe was wont to goe to Paradise and beside is our Ladyes bed and néere there by is the Tombe of saint Simeon And without the Cloyster of the Temple toward the North is a right fayre Church of Saint Anne our Ladies mother and there was our Lady conceiued and before that Church is a great trée which began to grow that same night And as men go downe from the Church xxij steps lyeth Ioachim our Ladyes Father in a Tombe of stone and there néere was layd sometime Saint Anne but Saint Eline did translate her to Constantinople In this Church is a well in manner of a cesterne that is called Probatica piscina that hath fiue entrings and in that cesterne was wont an Angell to descend and stir the water and what man that bathed him first therein after the stirring was made whole that was sicke what sicknesse so euer hée had and there was the man of the Palsie made whole that was sicke xxxviii yéere and our Lord sayd to him in this manner of wise Tolle grabatum tuum et ambula That is to say take vp thy bed and walke And there beside was the house of Pilate and a little thence was the house of king Herode that did slay the Innocents Of Herod the King Chap. xxiiij THis king Herode was a full wicked man and a fell for he did first and formost slay his wife whom hée loued full well and for the great loue of her hée went out of his witte and so was hée a long time and afterward hée came againe to himselfe And after hée slew his owne children that hée had begotten of the said wife and commaunded likewise his second wife to bée slaine and a sonne that hée had begotten of her and after that hée slew his owne mother and hée would also haue slaine his owne brother but his brother dyed sodainely and thus hée did all the ill that he might And then he fel sick and when hée saw that hée should dye hée sent for his sister all the great Lords of the country and when they were there hée did put all the Lords into a towre and said to his sister hée wist well that the men of the country would make no sorrow for him when hée was dead and therefore hée made her for to sweare vnto him that shée should smite off the heads of the Lords euery one after his death and then would men of the Country make sorrow for his death in regard of the Noble mens death and then he made his last testament But his sister fulfilled it not as pertaining vnto the death of the Lords for as soone as hée was dead she deliuered the Lords out of the towre and sent euery one home to their houses and told them what her Brother commanded her to doe vnto them And yée shall vnderstand that in that time was thrée Herodes of great name This of whom I speake was called Herode Ascolonite and hée that did smite of Saint Iohn Baptists head was called Herod Antipa and the third was called Herod Agrippa and hée did slay Saint Iames and put Saint Peter in prison Of Saint Saluators Church Chap. xxv Also mount Sion is within the cittie and it is a little higher then the other

tradens sanguinem iustum That is to say I haue sinned in betraying the innocent bloud Of the field of Acheldemack which was bought with the xxx pence Chap. xxvi ON the other side of mount Sion toward the South a stones cast is the field that they bought with those xxx pence for the which Christ was sold that men call Acheldemack that is to say the field of blood in that fild is many tombes of Christian men for there bée many pilgrims grauen And also in Hierusalem toward the West is a fayre Church where the trée grew of the which the crosse was made and thereby is a fayre Church where our
