THE TOWER PSEPHINA which was eighte square of seuenty cubits highe founded at the North-weste corner of the cittie vppon a very high rocke being like a stronge tower which by reason of the exceding hight thereof was feareful from whence on a cleere day men might behould Arabia the sea and the vttermoste borders of the Hebrues The ruines whereof are as yet to be seene 175 THE TOWER OF SILOE which falling in Christs time slue eighteen men 176 THE DEEP VALLEY which compassing mount Sion on the North and south parte went all along the weste side of the cittie euen to the gate of Ephraim making a fitte and conuenient ditch for the Cittie THE PLACES WITHOVT THE CITTIE THE PLACES AT THE EAST PART OF THE CITTIE 177. THE WATER which was brought out of the temple by conduit pipes vnder the earth issued foorth here with greate noise and so ranne into the brooke Cedron 178. BETHANIA the noble castle of Marry and of Martha the sisters of Lazarus hauing many houses the which was situat beyond mount Oliuet distant from Ierusalem fifteene furlongs that is two Italian miles From which place though it were but a little way off yet by reason that mount Oliuet lay betwene the cittie Ierusalem could not be seene excepte from a little hill from whence part of mount Sion might be seene Christe often times lodged in this house of Martha where he preached the worde of God to Mary sitting at his feete Here he raifed vp Lazarus to life after he had beene buried foure daies and began to stincke Here hee sitting in the house of Simon the leaper at the table together with Lazarus Martha seruing thē Mary annointed him with a most pretious ointment 179.

A Briefe Description of Hierusalem and of the Suburbs therof as it florished in the time of Christ Wherto is annexed a short Commentarie concerning those places which were made famous by the Passion of Christ and by the Actes of holye men confirmed by certeine principall Histories of Antiquity Verie profitable for all Christians to read for the vnderstanding of the sacred Scriptures and Iosephus his Historie Hereunto also is appertaining a liuely and beawtifull mappe of Hierusalem with Arithmeticall directions correspondent to the numbers of this Booke Translated out of Latin into English by Thomas Tymme Minister LONDON Printed by Peter Short for Thomas Wight 1595. To the right honourable Sir Iohn Puckering Knight Lorde Keeper of the great Seale of England Thomas Tymme wisheth increase of honour here to Gods glorie and perpetuall felicitie in the worlde to come FOrsomuch as right honorable Jerusalem the citty of our God euen vppon his holy mountaine the ioy of the whole earth and the Cittie of the greate King that faire and most auncient Cittie by a speciall prerogatiue is by God him selfe bewtified aboue all other Citties and was therefore the cheefe most noble and famous Cittie of the worlde Many trauellers and Pilgrimes haue at sundry times both in Mappes and histories described the same By the aduantage of whose laboures therein now of late one Christien Adrichom hath performed a most liuely description and in the Latine tongue enriched with diuers antiquyties The profit that might come hereby to my countrimen of the vulgar sorte both for the better vnderstanding of the story of the Bible where Jerusalem and the partes thereof are often times mentioned and also for the ready conceauing of Josephus his history moued me to translate it into the english tongue And the book thus translated with the charts expressed in naturall coloures I haue presumed to dedicate vnto your honour And bicause the maister workeman in this new plat of ould decayed Jerusalem hath left behind him sum rubbish and reliques of the Romish superstition I haue in some measure purged and swept the stretes and corners of the same with the broome of truth and carying them out by the Scouregate haue layed them on the Leystall of obliuion My paines herein taken though not so great as the laying of Ierusalems foūdation or the raising of a chief corner stone or the squaring finishing any part of this exquisite plat yet such it is as euen in the meanest degree of a poore labourer that doth but sweepe the streetes I most humbly beseech your honor to accept as a small mite of my good will The which I gladly offer to the ende that amidst the greate burdens of your most weighty affaires your honour behoulding this most braue cittie adorned with so glorious a temple and contemplating the passion of our sauiour Christ therein may be delighted and recreated And further that viewing this terrestriall cittie whose glory is now vanished may thinke still as the Apostle did say Non habemus hîc manentem ciuitatem and so aspire to that heauenly Jerusalem garnished and full stored with all manner of delights which abideth for euer wherein I doo moste humbly and hartely wish your good Lordship a most happie residence after you haue performed your most honorable course in this life in the seruice of your country the pleasure of your prince the generall benefit and comfort of your own soule Your Honors most dutifull to command Tho Tymme The Preface FOrsomuch the truth of historie is the foundation of faith and of spirituall vnderstanding Christian Reader and the history of things donne blinde and imperfect without the knowledge of places the which knowledge giueth muche light both to the truth of history and also to the spirituall interpretation thereof therefore I haue thought good to obserue two things with great diligence in this worke First that I might portray and set forth the true and liuely Image of Ierusalem of all other citties the most glorius and famous throughout the whole world whereof mention is made in sacred and in prophane histories as it florished in Christ his time and also the forme of the temple the fame whereof hath beene extolled aboue the heauens and was worthy of eternall memory by the sacred Scriptures by approued writers and by auncient tradition of faithfull and trusty men in a liuely plot or map most equisitly drawn together with the names originalls situations and formes of euery place and the most worthy histories concerning the same with all breuity Secondly that I might rightly dispose the places of Christ his passion and represent euery thing which he suffered in euery place euen as if they were now donne before our eies and so represented that I might explaine it with plainenesse and breuity For hereby all those thinges which he suffered for our sakes wilbe both more plainely vnderstood and also more profitably remembred But per aduenture there wilbe some which will mislike this our endeuour and the rather bicause we haue many thinges by tradition of elders to whom I answere out of Saint Hierom where he saith That ecclesiasticall traditions which are no hinderance to faith are so to be kept as they were deliuered by the auncients In the meane time I will not say that they are too rash too too wicked which wil deny that thing which hath beene godly receiued at al times and of all men So many of vs therefore as washed with the bloud of Christ do beare his name and are called Christians if our faith be aunswering to our name and our life not disagreeing from the truth hoping to be saued by the merits grace of Christ our sauiour let vs beleeue that which incorrupt and reuerend antiquity hath left let vs in no wise depart from those thinges which our auncestors haue celebrated without superstition and which by the consent of the whole worlde are come euen from them to our hands and with thankful godlines and godly thankfulnesse let vs call to minde those places oftentimes which may put vs in rememberance of the passion of Christe to which places this mappe will leade vs as it were by the hande and with the eies of faith and of our minde let vs looke vpon the same sonne of God and inwardly behoulde him who being vrged with the great loue of our saluation hauing finished his laste supper in the parlour of Sion and being come into the Garden of Oliuet prayed and swet bloud through the anguish and greuous consideration of the Imminent afflictions Immediately hee was betrayed by the most wicked Iudas he was taken bounde and thrust forward by the Iewes euen as a lambe by the woolues most cruelly amidst the noise of clamors and weapons and then was ledde to the house of Anna the high priest There hee was stricken From thence hee was drawne to the pallace of Caiphas in the same hee was falsely accused condemned spyt vpon blindfolded buffeted with fistes and

sundry waies all the night scorned and afflicted In the morning he was violently caried through the midst of the cittie to the house of Pilate From thence he was led to the pallace of Herod and accufed againe despised of him mocked apparrelled like a foole in a white garment brought back again by another way of the city to Pilate There again he was accused of many faultes stripped and greuously whipped cloathed with purple crowned with thornes dyuersly derided spitted vppon buffetted with fistes and stricken with a reede and being thus misused was made a gazeing stocke to the people and adiudged to death Then he was loden with a heauie crosse and in the sight of all the people with greeuous and bloudy steps hee was drawen punched and vrged by the furiouse violence of the soldiers through a great parte of the cittie and by the gate of Iudgement out of the cittie by a harde and stoany way euen vnto mount Caluarie And being come thither he was stripped againe and being both faint and weary was refreshed with gaule in stede of drink and about high noone he was fastened to the crosse so lifted vpon high And hanging on the crosse by the space of three howers was derided with taunts reproachfull woordes being thirstie they gaue him vineger to drinke Finally he which could saue the world with one drop of his bloude would needes bestowe vppon vs by the fiue Riuers of his woundes his life with all his bloude A figure hereof was that brasen serpent which moses caused to be exalted in the wildernes To this spectacle also our heauenly father calleth euery faithfull soule Come forth saith he ye daughters of Sion and see king Salomon Naye one farre greater then Salomon In like manner Christ hanging on the crosse crieth out O all ye which passe by the way behould and see if there be any sorrow greefe like myne And not onely to the consideration and meditation of these things but also to the Imitation God in the holy Scripture exhorteth vs in these woordes spiritually interpreted saying Looke make all thinges according to the example or fashion which was shewed thee in the mount For all the precepts of life which our sauiour taught all the time of his preaching as well by word as by example the same he expressed in himselfe in one day of his passion Wherefore if we would follow Christ not onely in woorde but also in woorke we may by his liuely crucified Image on mount Caluarie as it were out of a goulden booke intituled with the noble title of three most principal languages written with the quils of the speare of the nails of the thornes and of the whippes in the most pure parchment of the Immaculat lambe and with the purple bloude of the same both learned and vnlearned learne easely breifly perfect theologie the most wholesome remedies of Phisicke the full knowledge of Lawe and of Iustice the science of liberall artes of true humilitie of obedience of pietie of charitie of patience finally of all manner of vertues and of thinges most perfect and may also bee inflamed and drawen to loue and to follow Christ Thus the blessed virgin standing nere to the crosse of Christ did not onely with bodely eies but also in hart through faith which wauered not in her behould the woundes of her sonne and seriously thinking thereon was so comforted that now as Ambrose saith she was prepared also to die for the good of mankind So saint Ihon both seing the side of Christ opened with a speare bloude with water comming foorth of the same and also giuing testimonie thereunto did by the meditation thereof so greatly profite that at the last he became a most perfect diuine and a soaring Eagle to behoulde the most holy Trinitie So the Theefe when he sawe and hearde Christ Iesus crucified in continently tourned vnto Christ and confessing him he made the punishment of murder martiredome and chaunged the crosse for Paradice So also the Centurion by this spectacle receaued so great strength of faith that vnder the crosse he was made a famous confessor of Christ and further as Chrysostome saith was afterwarde crowned with Martyredome Moreouer Thomas behoulding touching the wounds of Christ crucified was so illumined with faith that hee plainly and openly professed Christ to be both his Lord and his God This beeing so and loue procuring loue euen as the loadstone draweth Ironne who is hee I pray you whome so vehement loue of Christ nay rather a heate and flame will not affecte kindell and sette on fier Who is he when at the death of Christ all creatures do suffer with him the Sunne darkened the vaile of the Temple rent in sonder the earth quaking Rockes breaking graues opening and the deade arising who and what is hee I say that will not woonder and that will not be abasshed Onely Adams children for whose cause he died are not moued with this so great a benefite The Adamente that most harde stoane is mollified with the bloude of a goate Iron with the heate of fier is made softe but the hartes of Christians more harde then Adamant or Iron are not mollified with the bloude and fier of Christ but do crucifie a fresh vnto themselues the sonne of God and do tread vnder their feete the bloude of the testament What I pray you can be more beseeming more meete more Iuste and more profitable for vs then to loue againe him that so loueth vs and Imitate him whome wee loue For if any thing herein seme harde if any thing greuous that thing loue the sweete yoke of the Lord maketh light and easie for all labor is light to him that loueth according to that notable sentence of that auntiente father saint Gregory Nihil adeo graue est quod non aequanimiter toleretur si Chrsti passio ad memoriam reduca tur There is nothing so heauy burthensome but the same is willingly borne if so be the passion of Christ be remembered For we will indure all thinges with patience as light and easie if we call to mynde what hard wordes harder stripes and most harde paines and afflictions he suffered for vs whose heade was crowned with thornes his eyes blinde foulded his eares filled with reproaches his mouth with gaule and vineger his face polluted with spitting his cheekes brused with buffetting his kneese shaking his shoulders laden with the crosse his hart replenished with sorrow his bodie torne with whippes his members racked his handes and feete bored to be breefe from the crowne of the heade to the soales of the foot he sustained an Innumerable sort of woundes and sorrowes Wherefore as the waters Mara being sometimes bitter were made swete by Moses at what time he cast wood into them euen so all our tribulation if we patiently indure the crosse of Christ will waxe sweete and the gaule thereof will tourne into honny For
