little red and vpon that rock dropped the bloud of the wounds of our Lord when hée was pained on the crosse and that is called Galgatha and men go vp to that Galgatha vpon steps and in that mortyes was Adams head found atter Noes Floud in token that the sins of Adam should be redéemed in the same place and aboue that rock made Abraham sacrifice to our Lord and there is an aulter and before that aulter lyeth Godfray of Boleyn Bawdewin and other that were Christians kings of Hierusalem And there as our Lord was crucified is this written in Gréek O Theos basilon ysmon persemas ergast sothyas ayos That is to say in Latin Hic Deus Rex noster ante secula operatus est salutem in medio terrae That is to say This God our king before worlds hath wrought health in the midst of the earth And also vpon this rock where the Crosse was fixed is written within the rock Gros guyst basys tou pestes thoy thesmosy That is to say in Latine Quod vides est fundamenta totius mundi huius fidei And it is to say that thou séest is ground of all the word and of this faith And yée shall vnderstand that our Lord when hée dyed was thirtie and two yéere olde and thrée monethes and the prophesie of Dauid saith that hée should liue fortie yéeres when hée sayth thus Quadraginta annis proximus fui generationi huic That is to say Fortie yéere was I neighbour to this kinde and thus should it séeme that Prophesie were not true but it is For in old time men called yéeres of ten moneths of the which March was the first and December the last But Caius Caesar that was Emperour of Roome did set to these two Monethes Ianuary and Februarie and ordained the yéere of twelue moneths That is to say thrée hundred dayes without leape yéere the proper course of the Sun and therefore after the accounting of ten moneths to the yéere hée dyed in fortie yéere after our yéeres of twelue moneths it is thirtie two yéere and thrée moneths Also within mount Caluery at the right side is there an alter where the piller lyeth that our Lord was bound to when he was scourged and thereby are thrée other pillers that alway drop water some say that those pillers wéepe for our Lords death and néere this aulter in a place xlii steps déepe was founde the verie Crosse by the assent of Saint Eleyne vnder a rock where the Iewes had hyd it and it was assayed for they found thrée crosses one of our Lord and two of the théeues And saint Eleine assaied them on a dead body that rose as soone as the very crosse of our Lord was layd vpon him And thereby in the vale is the place where the foure nayles of our Lord were hid for hée had two nayles in his hands and two in his féete and with one of those nayles the Emperour of Constantinople did make a bridle for his horse to beare him in battaile for by the vertue that it had hée ouercame his enimies and won all the land of Asia Turky Damasse the more and the lesse Surry and Hierusalem Araby Persia and Mesopotamie the kingdome of Alebe Aegypt the high and the low and other kingdomes many full nigh all vnto Ethyope the low and also vnto Inde the lesse that then was christned and there was in that time many good men and holy hermits of whom the booke of the Fathers liues speaketh and there are now in them Panims and Sarasins but when God will as these lands are lost through the sin of Christian men so shall they bée won againe by christian men through the helpe of God And in the middest of this Church is a compasse in the which Ioseph of Aramathia laid the body of our Lord when he had taken him oft the crosse and vpon the same place did he wash the féete of our Lord and that compasse men say is the middest of the world Of the Church of the holy Sepulcher Chap. xxi IN that Church by the Sepulcher on the North side is the place where our Lord was imprisoned and there is a part of the chaine with the which he was bound and there hée appeared first to Marie Magdalene when hée was risen from death and shée thought hée had béene a gardiner In the Church of the Sepulcher was wont to bée Cannons of saint Benet and they had a Priourie and the Patriarke was their Soueraigne and without the doores of the Church on the right side as men goe vp xviii steps our Lord said to his mother Mulier Ecce filius tuus That is to say Woman behold thy Sonne Deinde dixit discipulo Ecce mater tua That is to say Then said hée to his Disciple Beholde thy mother And these words hée said when hée hanged vpon the Crosse and vpon the steps went our Lord when hée bare the Crosse vpon his shoulder and vnder these staires is a Chappell where the Priests sing And néere there is the stone where our Lord rested him when hée was weary with bearing of the Crosse And yée shall vnderstand that before the Church of the Sepulcher is the Cittie most strong and the great plaine that is betwéene the Cittie and the Church on the East side without the walles of the Cittie is the vale of Iosophat that commeth to the walles In this vale of Iosophat without the Cittie is the Church of Saint Stephen where he was stoned to death and thereby is the gate builded that may not bée opened Through this gate our Lord entered on Palme Sunday vpon an Asse and the gate opened vnto him when hée would goe to the Temple and yet are the steps of the Asse séene in thrée places the which stand in full hard stones Before the Church of the sepulcher two hundred paces is a great hospitall of Saint Iohn in the which hospitall are liiii pillers made of stone And to goe toward the East from the hospitall is a right faire church that men call our Lady the great and then is there another church by that that men call our Lady of the Latine and there it was that Mary Cleophe Mary Magdalene rent their haire when our Lord was put to death Of the temple of God Chap. xxij AND from the Church of the sepulcher toward the East at xvii paces is Templum Domini That is a faire house and it is all round and right high and couered with lead and it is well paued with white marble but the Sarasins will suffer no Christians ne Iewes to come therein for they say that so sinful men should not come into that holy place but I was suffered to go in and into other places where I would for I had letters of the Souldan with his great seale commonly other men haue but of his signet and men beare his letter with his seale before them hanging on a Speare and men doe great worship

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 side of the cittie and that Cittie is stronger on that one side then on the other for at the foote of mount Sion is a faire castle and strong which the Souldan did cause to bée made there On mount Sion was king Dauid buryed and Salomon and many other kings of Hierusalem and there is the place where Saint Peter wept full tenderly when hée had denyed our Lord and a stones cast from that is another place where our Lord was iudged for at that time was Caiphas house there and betwéene the Temple of Salomon and mount Sion is the place where Christ raised the mayden from death to life Vnder mount Sion toward the vale of Iosaphat is a well that men call Natatorie Silo there was our Lord washed after he was baptised And thereby is the trée on the which Iudas hanged himselfe for dispaire when hée had sold betraied Christ And thereby is the Sinagogue where the Bishops of the Iewes and Pharasies came to hold their counsell and there Iudas cast the xxx pence before them and said Peccaui 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 Lady met with Elizabeth when they were both with childe Saint Iohn stirred in his mothers wombe and made worship to our Lord his maker and vnder the aulter of this Church is a place where Saint Iohn was borne and thereby is the Castell of Emax Of Mount Ioy. Chap. xxvij TWo mile from Hierusalem is the mount Ioy that is a faire place and a liking and there lyeth Samuel the prophet in a faire tombe and it is called mount Ioy for there those that trauaile sée first Hierusalem And in the middle of the vale of Iosaphat is a little riuer that is called Torrens Cedron and ouerthwart this lay a trée of the which the Crosse was made that men passed ouer Also in this vale is a Church of our Lady and there is the sepulcher of our Lady and shée was lxxij yéeres of age when shée dyed and there néere is the place where our Lord forgaue Saint Peter all his sinnes and misdéedes that hée had done And béeside that is a Chappell where Iudas kissed our Lord that men call Gethsemaine and hée was taken of the Iewes and there left Christ his Disciples before his passion when hée went to pray and said Pater si fieri potest transeat a me calix ista that is to say in English Father if it may bée done let this Cup passe from me And therby is a Chappel where our Lord swet both blood and water and there is the tombe of king Iosaphat of whom the vale had the name and on the side of that vale is the mount Oliuet and it is called so for there groweth many Oliue trées and it is higher then Hierusalem and therefore from that hill men may sée into the stréetes of Hierusalem and betwéene the hill

default of water and it falleth oft where a man findeth water one time hée findeth it not another time and therefore make they no houses in those countries These men that I speake of till not the Land for they eate no bread except it bée such as dwell néere a good towne and they rost their fishes and flesh vpon hot stones against the Sun and they are strong men and well fighting and they doe nothing but chase wilde beasts for their sustenance and they set not by their liues therefore they dread not the Souldan nor no Prince of the world And they haue great war with the Souldan and the same time that I was with the Souldan they bare but a shield and a speare for to defend them with and they vse none other armour but they winde their heads and necks in a great linnen cloth and they are men of full ill kinde As men are passed this wildernesse againe comming to Hierusalem Chap. xiiij AND when men haue passed this wildernesse toward Hierusalem they come to Barsabe that was somtime a faire and a rich towne of Christian men and yet is their some of the churches left and in that towne dwelled Abraham the Patriarke this towne of Barsabe founded Vrias wife of whom Dauid begat Salomon the wise that was king of Hierusalem and of the xii Tribes of Israel and he raigned xl yéere and from thence men goe the vale of Ebron that is from thence néere xii mile and some call it the vale of Mambre also it is called the vale of Teares forasmuch as Adam in that vale bewailed an hundred yéere the death of his sonne Abel that Caine slew And this Ebron was somtime the principal cittie of the Philistines and there dwelled giants there it was so frée that all that had done euill in other places were there saued In Ebron Iosua and Caleb and their company came first to espie how they might win the land of promise In Ebron Dauid raigned first viii yéere and a halfe and in Hierusalem hée raigned xxxij yéeres and a halfe and there bée the graues of the Patriarks Adam Abraham Iacob and their wiues Eue Sara Rebecca and they lye in the side of the hill and beside this hill is a right faire Church builded after the fashion and manner of a castle which the Sarasins kéepe right well and they haue the place in great worship for the holy Patriarkes that lye there and they suffer no christian men ne Iewes to come therein except they haue speciall grace of the Souldan for they hold christian men Iewes but as hounds that should come to the holy place and they call the place Spelunke or double caue or double graue or one lyeth on an other and the Sarasins call it in their language Caryatherba that is to say the place of the Patriarkes and the Iewes call it Arboth and in that same place was Abrahams house and that was the same Abraham that sate in his doore and saw thrée persons worshipped but one as holy writ witnesseth saying Tres vidit vnum adorauit That is to say He saw thrée and worshipped but one and him tooke Abraham into his house Here followeth a little of Adam and Eue and other things Chap. xv AND right néere to that place is a caue in a rock where Adam and Eue dwelled when they were driuen out of Paradise and there got they their children And in that same place was Adam made as some men say for men called that place sometime the field of Damasse for it was in the worship of Damasse and from thence he was translated into Paradise as they say and afterward he was driuen out of Paradise and put there againe for the same day that he was put into paradise the same day he was driuen out for as soone hée sinned And there beginneth the I le of Ebron that lasteth néere to Hierusalem and the Angell bad Adam that hée should dwell with his wife and there they begat Seth of the which kinred Iesus Christ was borne And in that vale is the field where men draw out of the earth a thing the which men in that country call Camball and they eate that in stead of spice and they beare it to sell and men cannot graue there so déepe nor so wide but it is at the yéeres end full againe vp to the sides through the grace of God and two miles from Ebron is the graue of Lot that was Abrahams brother Of the dry Tree Chap. xvj THen a little from Ebron is the mount of Mambre of the which Mount the dale tooke his name and there is an oke trée that the Sarasins cal dypre remaining since Abrahams time that men cal the dry trée and they say that it hath béene from the beginning of the world and was sometime gréene and bare leaues vnto the time that our Lord dyed and so did all the Trées of that kinde in the world and yet is there many of those in the world And some prophesies say that a Lord or Prince of the West side of the world shall win the land of Promise that is the holy land with the helpe of christian men and he shal worship God vnder that Trée and the Trée shall waxe gréene and beare fruite and leaues and through that miracle many Sarasins and Iewes shall bée turned to the Christian Faith and therefore they doe great Worship thereto and kéepe it right charily And yet though it be drye it hath a great vertue for certainely hée that hath a little thereof about him it healeth a sicknesse called the falling euill and hath also many other vertues and therefore it is holden right precious From Ebron to Bethlehem Chap. xvij FRom Ebron men goe to Bethlehem in halfe a day for it is but fiue mile and it is a fayre way and through Woods full pleasant Bethlehem is but a little cittie long and narrow and was walled and enclosed with a great ditch and it was wont to be called Ephrata as holy writ saith Ecce audiuimus eum in Ephrata c. That is to say Loe wée heard of the same at Ephrata And toward the end of the cittie toward the East is a right fayre and goodly Church and it hath many towres and pinnacles full strongly made and within that Church is foure and fortie great pillers of marble and not farre from this Church is the field which flourished very strangely as yée shall heare Of a fayre mayden that should bee put to death wrongfully Chap. xviij THe cause is forasmuch as a fayre mayden that was blamed with wrong that shée had done fornication for the which cause she was déemed to die and to be brent in that place to the which shée was lead And as the wood began to burne about her shée made her prayer to our Lord as shée was not guiltie of that thing that hee would help her that it might bée knowne to all men And when shée had
