downe the walls destroied the Temple which the Emperor Constantine had built and made havock of al things Presently vpon this the Turkes that came out of Scythia by the Caspian mountains won the city draue thence the Saracens Thus we may see that the Saracens and Turks though they were both of one religion yet for the country of the Iewes fought one against another and compelled the Christians to pay them Tribute for the fourth part of the city wherein the Sepulchre of our Lord stood being againe restored by the Emperor Constantine after the destruction of Caliphas The Christians being weary of this tribute and of the oppression of the Infidels became sutors to Pope Vrban the second of that name for their deliuery who in the yeare 1094 assembled a Councel at Clearemont in France and by the instigation of one Peter the hermit stirred vp the hearts of diuers Christian princes and great Lords to make a croysado so that 10000 braue well mounted souldiers went into the Holy land and for a token of their war bore red crosses vpon their armes In the same yeare there was a great blasing starre seene in the West and after that followed a great plague for the space of two yeares through the world this neuerthelesse hindred them not in their designes but that they went their intended journy won the City of Aelia from the Saracens deliuered the Christians from their bondage and tax and chose Godfrey of Lorrain Earle of Bullion King thereof whom they anointed in the Temple of the holy Sepulchre but hee refused to be crowned with a Crowne of gold saying That it ill beseemed him to be called King of Ierusalem the true King whereof was Christ or to sit crowned with gold in the place where he was crowned with thorns that was the Son of the euer-liuing God and then chose Arnolphus of Rhodes Patriarch In the moneth of October the same yeare a blasing Starre of maruellous bignesse appeared towards the South it seemed to be like a wauing sword foreshewing no doubt the destruction of all those that went about to re-establish this earthly Ierusalem Immediatly after the Feast of the Natiuitie of Christ all the Christians of the East countries vpon Candlemas day came out of Syria but especially out of Antiochia to Ierusalem in the Temple of the holy Sepulchre consecrated their Bishops and Chorasters and with one consent sung Illuminare Ierusalem They tooke also all the Cities Castles and Villages and ouer them set Bishops created foure Principalities one at Ierusalem another at Antiochia a third at Edissa a fourth at Tripoly Also certain Earledomes and Baronies as at Brito Zidon Caesarea Galilee Ioppa and Ascalon All these were appointed to pay tribute to the King of Ierusalem All this was done in the yere of our Lord 1099. No sooner were these newes published to the world but there was an vniuersall croysado through all Christendom for the conquering and winning of the rest of the holy land but before they could get thither they were either slaine by the Grecians and other nations or els died through famin thirst so that in them was fulfilled the prophecie of Zacharias cap. 12.3 where it is said It shall happen that I will make Ierusalem an heauy stone for all people all they that lift it vp shal be torn though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it And verse 9 And in that day I will seeke to destroy all the nations that come against Ierusalem This yeare 1100 died Godfrey King of Ierusalem of a feuer vpon the ●8 day of Iuly when he had reigned scarce a yere and was buried in the temple of mount Calvarie After him succeeded his brother Baldovin the first of that name second King of Ierusalem This man reigned 18 years in Ierusalem and being ouercome by Caliphas Sultan of Egypt after the losse of thirteene thousand Christians he had much adoe to escape with life Within a short time after hee died without issue Baldwin the second succeeded his vncle and was the third king of Ierusalem He began his reign Anno 1118. This man ouercame the Turks and the King of Damascus had issue only one daughter named Milesent whom he maried to the Earle of Angiers and gaue with her the kingdom of Ierusalem and died without heire male in the yeare 1131. Fulco in right of his wife succeeded his father in law was the fourth King of Ierusalem This Fulco was brother to the King of England he reigned 13 years fought many worthy battels against the Turkes put 3000 of their men to the sword tooke many of them prisoners and caried them to Ierusalem After that as hee was hunting the Hare by Acon riding speedily hee fell from his horse and was sorely brused whereof he died and left two sonnes called Baldwin and Almerick Baldwin the third was the fifth King of Ierusalem and succeeded his father He won the city of Ascalon he rebuilt the towne of Boza which had beene destroyed placed there certaine Knights Templers he lost the City of Edissa to the Saracens where many Christians were cruelly slain And hauing reigned 19 yeares he died without issue After him succeeded his brother Almerick as was the sixt king of Ierusalem In the time of this king the Sultan of Egypt gaue a great ouerthrow to the Knights Templers which he seeking to reuenge inuaded Egypt with a great army besieged the great city of Alcaire but to small purpose wherefore returning back to Ierusalem he shortly after died when he had reigned 12 years he left behinde him three children a sonne called Baldwin and two daughters Sibilla and Isabella Baldwin the fourth succeeded his father and was the seuenth king of Ierusalem who abusing his gouernment was struck with leprosie with the contagion of which disease he died miserably in the 25 yere of his age hauing reigned 13 years Baldwin the fift of that name the onely begotten son of his sister Sibil by his consent was chosen his successor a youth of 9 yeares old his fathers name was William Mountferrat earle of March who dying his mother married one Guy Earle of Lusignan to whom Baldwin committed the protection of the kingdome and of his yong kinsman till he came to mans estate But this yong man within 7 years after the death of his vncle died sitting at his table not without suspition of poison Guy his protector by the persuasion of his wife and at the instigation of the Ierosolimits took vpon him the gouernment but Raimond Earle of Tripoli was his great aduersary for that Baldwin 4. for his exceeding pride at the instigation of that Guy had displaced him of all his Offices and titles in the commonwealth These two striuing for the kingdom it hapned that Guy was charged with his kinsmans death vnder which pretence Raimond made war against him During these troubles Saladine Sultan of Egypt taking aduantage of this opportunitie made war vpon them

LONDON Printed by ADAM ISLIP 1636. TO THE RIGHT HONOVRABLE SIR HENRY MOVNTAGVE Knight Lord chiefe Iustice of the Kings Majesties BENCH IT is a true saying of the Philosopher Right Honourable and my very good Lord that there is nothing wherin there is life but it hath either motion or action and such is the condition of man that a greater measure of both is imposed vpon him to humble him than vpon many other creatures The whole course of his life being compared vnto a Pilgrimage in which state a man can presume vpon no certaine continuance For as a Traueller that intendeth to finish his journey staies not in his Inne but desires more to be vpon his way than in his bed so it is with man who cannot possesse himselfe in rest from the time of his birth vntill his death and oftentimes is troubled with needlesse and vnprofitable Labours to attaine vnto his ends which got both they and he perish Let Alexander that great Emperour be a president of this who with much Labour hauing got a great estate enjoyed it but a short time and you may reade in this Treatise with what intollerable paines Antigonus Epiphanes endeauoured to establish his kingdome to him and yet in the end purchased little but a lamentable death There is none of the Patriarchs Princes Iudges Kings Prophets Apostles or others mentioned in the Scriptures that could make euident in the whole course of their life any better than a laborious and tedious Pilgrimage With what paines did Abraham wander from Chaldaea into the land of Canaan How was Moses tormented in the Wildernesse almost to the losse of his soule but absolutely neuer to come into the promised land And for Dauid how miserably liued hee when he could not trust his owne friends this is the state of man and to say truth he differs in little beside reason from other creatures and that either lockt vp in silence or not exprest in some memorable action makes him so much the more capable of misery being onely able to distinguish of joy and feare And that these things may be the more apparant I haue endeauoured to collect out of the Works of others this Treatise wherein is briefly described the Trauels of all the Prophets Princes c. together with the condition of Cities Countries Islands and other memorable places as they are mentioned in the Old and New Testaments All which that I might expresse that dutie which hath a long time lien concealed I haue wholly dedicated to your LL. seruice humbly intreating your fauourable acceptance of my paines that so being shrouded vnder your Ho. protection they may the better withstand the aduerse opinions of such as please to censure them At your Hon. seruice R.B. The Preface to the Reader IT hath alwaies beene held a matter worth note gentle Reader euen to the best Diuines to haue the Typographicall description of the townes and places as they are mentioned in the Scriptures and so much the rather because by comparing the actions of men with the beginnings and endings of Cities they might the better vnderstand the Prophets and perceiue the wonderfull prouidence of God who by his omnipotencie so disposeth of Estates that such Cities and Nations which haue beene mightie and ruled vpon the earth with great power notwithstanding on a sudden and by vnexpected euents haue beene vtterly subuerted and ouerthrowne Now that these things might be more apparant I haue in as good and briefe a method as I can gathered out of sundry Authors the particular description of the Cities Townes and places as they are mentioned in the Scriptures where they stood vnder whose command at what time they grew mightie and how lost and decayed To this also I haue added a particular narration of the Trauels of all the holy Patriarchs Prophets Princes Iudges Kings Emperours our blessed Sauiour and his Apostles to what townes they trauelled what memorable actions they did in those places with a short Chronologie of the times that so by comparing this discourse with any text of Scripture you may perceiue the time when those accidents happened All which things I am perswaded will proue no lesse pleasant than profitable and will giue a great light to the vnderstanding of the Bible But if you question with me How it is possible that I should come to the knowledge of those things considering that Babylon Niniuey Ierusalem and most of the Cities of the Holy Land are long since wasted and decaied to this I answer therein consists the greatnesse of the Trauell because I haue beene constrained to vse the helpe of many Authors who amongst other long and learned discourses haue here and there glanced at the actions that were done in the land of Iudaea amongst which are Strabo Ierome de Locis Hebraicis Plinie Liuie Plutarch and many others who haue described in the actions of the Persians Chaldaeans Graecians and Romans the state of the Iewes as it stood in those times with the Description of the Cities and townes And Saint Ierome who liued in that countrie tooke a great deale of paines to rectifie these imperfect discourses which more obscure authors haue laboured in and left to future ages that so those which would might by their dilligence and care make them vsefull to informe their vnderstanding both concerning the state of the Iewes and the obscure meaning of some of the prophesies Also the scituation and destruction of Ierusalem a thing pleasant and profitable to know and no whit vnworthie your consideration How all or the most part of the Townes Cities Countries Nations Islands Seas Desarts Mountaines and most memorable places are scituated from it how many miles English they stand distant what memorable actions haue beene done in them and for the most part where they stood and how they are at this day Besides to make this a perfect worke you shall finde after the end the old Testament and before the beglnning of the new a discourse concerning the weights measures and monies which are mentioned in the Scriptures reduced vnto our valuation how they were currant among the Iewes how with other people nations and countries by which meanes that necessitie of commutatiue Iustice for which monies were principally inuented will be apparent and by this meanes you shall perceiue what equalitie there is and hath beene vsed amongst Nations for the ordaining of measures and monies by which you may perceiue that this vniuerse being compared together

seemeth but one large and spacious Empire howsoeuer vnder diuers gouernments Againe the perigrination of our Sauiour the manner of his wonderfull natiuitie his long and tedious journies the condition of his estate whiles he was vpon the earth and as neere as can be guest at what time he did most of his miracles how he behaued himselfe when he was betraied with a description of the manner of his death and the Trauels of Peter Paul and many other of his Apostles after his death All which things I haue with much labour compiled together for your profit and expect nothing in recompence for my paines but your loue And so I commit you to God Yours R.B. A BRIEF DECLARATION of Geometricall Measures A Degree of the Heauens is 15 Germane or Dutch miles one minute is one quarter of a Dutch mile so that foure minutes makes a Dutch mile A Dutch mile is foure thousand paces Diuersitie of Miles the Spanish miles be very neer so long as the Dutch A French mile is two thousand paces a Walloon or Italian mile is a thousand paces so that foure Walloon miles make a Dutch mile The word mile is deriued from the Latine word Mille for one thousand paces make a Wallon mile as Gualtherus H. Reuius writeth Of Stades or Furlongs THis word Stadium in Latine in English a Furlong is a measure of ground whereof there be three sorts Italicum Olympicum Pythicum That of Italy contained 625 feet which is 125 paces halfe a quarter of an Italian mile The second sort was of the hill Olympus in Greece where was a game or prise kept by the Princes and Cities of Greece euery fifth yeare in the honour of Hercules who first began it This measure of ground Stadium Olympicum contained 600 feet that is 120 paces The third kind of stade or furlong contained 1000 feet which is 200 paces wherof haply arose the difference of Pliny and Diodorus Siculus in describing Sicily Fifteen Dutch miles make a Degree What a Furlong is and a Degree of the heauens answereth to 480 furlongs vpon earth whereby it is manifest that 32 furlongs is a German or common Dutch mile One minute equalleth eight Furlongs which make an Italian or Wallon mile the fourth part of a Dutch mile Two minutes of the heauens or sixteen furlongs make a Dutch mile Four half of a Dutch mile Three minutes equall 24 stades or Furlongs which make three quarters of a Dutch mile Four minutes equal 32 furlongs that is to say a German or Dutch mile The holy Evangelists S. Luke ca. 24. ver 13. and S. Iohn ca. 11. ver 8. reckon the way by Furlongs S. Luke saith the Towne Emaus was distant from Ierusalem sixty Furlongs and Saint Iohn saith Bethania was 15 Furlongs distant from Ierusalem Whence it appeareth that Emaus was distant from Ierusalem almost two Dutch miles seuen Wallon miles and a halfe and Bethania almost halfe a Dutch mile which is a mile a half half a quarter Iosephus writeth That Mount Olivet was distant from Ierusalem fiue Furlongs that is a little more than halfe a quarter of a Dutch mile which is half an Italian mile and half a quarter The same Iosephus saith That the circuit of the city of Ierusalem was 33 Furlongs a Dutch mile and halfe a quarter Others say it was foure miles in compasse which beeing vnderstood of Italian or Walloon miles make little or no difference seeing it is but the halfe of a halfe quarter of a Dutch mile Strabo writeth That the city of Babylon was 380 Furlongs in circuit that is twelue Dutch miles The circuit of Samaria was twenty furlongs that is halfe a Dutch and halfe a quarter which is two Italian miles and a halfe How the Romans measured their miles THe Romans measured their miles by paces which they call Passus and that kind of measuring is done after this maner Foure barley cornes laid long-waies one by the other make the bredth of a finger foure fingers broad make the bredth of an hand foure hands broad make the length of a foot which measure is now extant fiue feet make a Geometricall or great pace one hundred twenty fiue such paces are a Furlong eight Furlongs are one thousand paces or Wallon mile two thousand paces are a French mile Ex granis quatuor formabitur vnus Est quater in palmo digitus quater in pede palmus Quinque pedes passum faciunt passus quoque centum Viginti quinque stadium dant Sed milliare Octo dabunt stadia duplicatum sit tibi Leuca Four thousand paces are a Dutch mile I mean a common Dutch mile whereof fifteen are reckoned to a degree of the heauens for the Switfer miles are commonly a quarter of a Dutch mile longer than common Dutch miles But through this book by miles we vnderstand common Dutch miles whereof four thousand paces make a mile Whosoeuer will vnderstand S. Ierom wel de locis Haebraicis must mark whether he reckons by miles or by stones the miles specified by him are Wallon miles whereof four make a Dutch mile as aforesaid the stone whereof he writeth wherby also they did measure and diuide the way are reckoned six to a Dutch mile To the end that all men that haue any little vnderstanding in Geometry and Cosmography may make the Tables and cast them and at their pleasure inlarge or diminish them I haue here for their direction set downe the longitude and latitude of the most principal towns the former number shew the degrees and minutes of the longitude the later numbers declare the degrees and minutes of the latitude   Long.
