Bishop of Triers The Picture of St. Katherine of Sienna drawn by Sigismund King of Poland A Picture of the Emperour as he giveth Audience to be looked upon through a little round hole A neat Table of Inlay'd Stone made by the present Empress Dowager Eleonora A Nail of our Saviour's Cross almost a foot long our Saviour's Blood and two Thorns of his Crown the one whiter than the other Priests Garments covered all over with large Pearl The great and high esteemed Agate Dish between three and four spans Diameter with XRISOS naturally in it Unto which one applied that of St. Luke Dico vobis quia si hi tacuerint lapides clamabunt Unto which magnificent Rarities there is one more added the noble Chain of Pearl of eight yards long taken from the Graff Tokoly in the late Hungarian war as I understand since my Return I went unto divers noted Places about Vienna I walked unto the Hill of Vienna two English miles distant from the Town going up all the way by an easie Ascent from whence I had a prospect of the City and the Campagnia about it together with the high Mountains in Steirmark covered with Snow and in my return saw the Palace of the Empress Dowager without the Town called la Favorita and passed by the Convent of the Paulini About two English miles Eastward from Vienna there is a very noble Garden-place belonging to the Emperour built by Rodolphus the Second which hath been formerly well furnished and provided with Plants but now seems to be neglected and somewhat ruinous It consisteth of an inward and an outward square Garden The inward is two hundred ordinary paces square about the same bigness with the Place Royal at Paris It hath a Portico or Cloyster supported by Forty Pillars of white Stone on each side and is covered with Copper as are also the Pavilions which the common people think to be Gold Besides this there is an handsome row of Buildings well seated called Néw-gabaú in which at present are many wild Beasts kept Lions and Tigres breed here and have young ones Some say this was the place of Solyman the Magnificents Tent when he besieged Vienna There is also about two or three miles from Vienna a noted place of Devotion called Arnols much frequented especially in Lent divers carrying Crosses very heavy all the way upon their shoulders There is here a little House built exactly after that of the Sepulchre at Jerusalem and also a handsome Copy of the Picture of our Saviour and the Virgin Mary with their exact heights That of our Saviour is about two yards high that of the blessed Virgin three or four singers breadth lower These are taken from the Original in St. John de Lateran at Rome Hither the Empress desired to go one morning from her own Palace on foot out of Devotion which she performed though with a great deal of difficulty she being not used to walk and the way was dusty The Emperour accompanied her and all the Court followed on foot which made a handsome shew Nearer unto Vienna there is also a remarkable place for Devotion called Itzing and in the way from Vienna unto it the twelve Stations of the Cross are marked out in imitation of what is observed near Jerusalem in the Via Crucis or Dolorosa in our Saviours proceeding from the City unto Mount Calvary the Figures thereof are printed and the several paces between every Station set down The Emperour hath a handsome Park near Vienna called the Brater wherein I beheld the effects of the great Lightning and Thunder which happened three days before upon many great Trees which were torn split or twisted There is a House of Pleasure in it where among other things I could not but take notice of a Musical Instrument which I had not seen before a Seat or Chest-drum it hath a Cord like that of a Sea-trumpet but soundeth like a Kettle-drum I went also unto Laxambourg whither the Emperour often retireth he hath a House in this place but it is old and not large There is also a House of Pleasure in the Mote into which there is no other passage but through a high Gorridore The Castle is commodiously seated for the Emperours recreation and there is an eight-square House in the Marsh from which the Nobility and the Empress Dowager sometimes used to shoot she being very expert therein Over the Gate of the Emperours House hangs a great Rib and Jaw-bone whereof I could get no better account then they were the Rib and Jaw-bone of a heathen-maid They seemed to me to be Bones of an Elephant But many things that are old or obscure they call in this Country Heathen as Roman Coyns they call Heathen mony And the Peasants brought me in a place which had been formerly an old Roman Station part of the bit of a Bridle digged up which they concluded to be a Heathen Key From hence I went unto Mannersdorff seated not far from the River Leyta where there is a natural hot Bath called the Wildebath it ariseth under a Church the Church being built over the Spring-head The water of it is but Lukewarm and therefore when they desire it hotter they boyl it and so bathe in Tubs in a large room From that Substance which sticketh to the sides of the Coppers in the boyling of it they judge it to be impregnated with Sulphur Salt-peter and Chalk The water colours the stones and makes them look when wet like fine Turquoises And the vapour of the Bath hanging upon the Moss on the sides gives it an Amber or Gold colour The Physicians of Vienna have given a good account concerning the use of these Baths in High-dutch Not far from hence is a noted Quarry of Stone out of which a great part of Vienna is built The Stones being large they cut and square them at the Quarry From hence I proceeded to the Newsidler-sea or Lake so called from Newsidle which is a Town seated upon the Northern part of it consisting of one street and some back-houses and a small square old Castle upon a Hill from whence I had a good prospect over the Lake It is about three German miles broad and seven miles long The fairest Lake in these parts affording plenty of Fish encompassed and thickly set about with small Towns and Villages and hath no River at least not considerable running into or out of it A little way from the Gate of Newsidle they dig out a black earth out of which they make Salt peter In this Journey not far from Himburg we passed by a place called Rauckward which though it seems not high looks over a great part of Austria and as far as Brin the second City of Moravia a part also of the Kingdom of Bohemia and a part of the Kingdom of Hungaria I went afterwards four English miles up the Stream of the Danube to see a noted Quarry of Stone in a Hill called Altenburg The beds rows or
