A13781	A true and strange discourse of the trauailes of two English pilgrimes what admirable accidents befell them in their iourney to Ierusalem, Gaza, Grand Cayro, Alexandria, and other places: also what rare antiquities, monuments, and notable memories (concording with the ancient remembrances in the holy Scriptures), they saw in Terra Sancta, with a perfect description of the old and new Ierusalem, and scituation of the countries about them. A discourse of no lesse admiration; then well worth the regarding: written by one of them, on the behalfe of himselfe, and his fellowe pilgrime.	Timberlake, Henry, d. 1626.	1603 (1603)	STC 24079; ESTC S119224	21,670	30

were comming downe mount Oliuet towards the valley of Gethseminie where by the way we came to our Ladies Church wherein is her Sepulcher and the Sepulcher of her husband Ioseph with the Sepulcher of Anna and many others in that Church This Church standeth at the foote of Mount Oliuet and was built as they say by Helena the mother of Constantine the great here the Friers went into the virgin Maries sepulcher there either said Masse or Praiers while we in meane time went to dinner In this Church is a fountaine of exceeding fine water in regard we went downe into a vault as it were it giueth a meruailous loude Eccho or sound Hence went we to the Caue whether Iudas came to betray Christ whē he was at prayer and thence to the Garden where our Sauiour left his Disciples commaunding them to watch and praie but found them sleeping at his returne then they brought me to the Garden where Christ was taken and all these last three were in the valley of Gethsemanie Riding vnto the towne whereof the valley beares name on the left hand I saw the before remembred Sepulchers of Absolon and Iehoshaphat and on the right hand the brooke Cedron which at my being there had not one drop of water in it for indeed it is but a ditche to conuay the water from the two hilles I meane Mount Oliuet and mount Sion when any store of raine falleth and this ditche or brooke Cedron is in the valley betweene both those hilles Hard by the brooke Cedron they shewed me a stone marked with the feete and elbowes of Christ in their throwing of him downe when as they tooke him and euer since say they haue those prints remained there From hence wee rode to the place where S. Iames the younger did hide himselfe and afterward was buried there there also they shewed where Zachariah the sonne of Barachiah was buried and brought me to another place where they say the virgin Marie vsed often to pray Then came we to the Poole of Silo wherein M. Burrell and I washed our selues and hence wee were shewen the place where the Prophet Esay was sawne in pieces thence they guided vs to an exceeding deepe Well where the Iewes as they say hid the holy fire in the time of Nabuchodonozor Here we ascended from the valley to a hill side which lieth iust South from mount Sion but there is a great valley betweene called Gehemion and there they shewed me the place where the Apostles hid themselues being a Caue in a rocke Ascending higher hence they brought me to the field or rather to be more rightly tearmed the Rocke where the common buriall place is for straungers being the very same as they say which was bought with the thirtie pieces of siluer that Iudas receiued as the price of his Maister which place is called Aceldoma and is fashioned as followeth It hath three holes aboue on the side there is a vent at the vpper holes they vse to let downe the dead bodies to the estimation of some 50. foote downe In this place I saw two bodies new or very lately let downe and looking downe for by reason of the three great holes aboue where the dead bodies lye it is very light I receiued such a sauour vp into my heade as it made me very sicke so that I was glad to entreat the Friers to goe no further but to returne home to the citie So here we went through the vallie of Gehemion and at the foote of mount Sion hauing a little bottle of water which I brought from the Poole Silo I branke and rested there an houres space eating a fewe Raisins and Oliues which wee brought with vs from Ierusalem in the morning After I had well rested and refreshed my selfe we began to ascend mount Sion and a little way vp the hill they shewed me the place where Peter hauing denyed Christ and hearing the Cock crowe went out and wept Ascending higher they shewed mee the house where y e virgine Marie dwelt which was near vnto y e Temple then they brought me to the place where the Iewes setting on the blessed virgine to take her she was conuayed away by miracle Hence we went to the house of Caiphas which was somwhat higher vpon mount Sion and there I sawe the prison wherein our Sauiour was detained Passing on still higher they guided mee to a little Chappell which is kept by the Armenians whereinto entring at the high Altar they shewed me y ● stone which was vpon our Sauiours Sepulcher as they say and it is neer to the place where Peter denyed Christ for there they shewed me the Piller whereon the Cocke stood when hee crowed Hence was I brought to the place where our Sauiour made his last Supper and thence I came where the holy Ghost descended vpon the Apostles whence passing on they shewed me the place where Christ appeared to his Disciples the eight day after his Resurrection when S. Thomas desired to see his woundes Neere to this place vpon mount Sion the virgin Marie died and hard by they shewed me a place bought by the Pope of the Turkes for buriall of the Europian Christians because he would not haue them cast into Aceldama they tolde vs that the yeare before fiue Englishmen were buried in that place whether by the Friers poisoning them or howsoeuer else it happened but we thought it straunge that all fiue should die together in one weeke Thence came we to the house of Annas the high Priest which is now but a paire of very old walles nothing else of it to be seene but at the side of one of the walles is an old Oliue tree whereto they told me that our Sauiour was fast bound and demaunding a further reason thereof they said that when he was brought vnto this house Annas being asleepe his people would not awake him so during their time of stay they bound him to the said Oliue tree and when he awaked then he was brought in and examined Departing hence toward the Southgate of the citie which standeth likewise vpon mount Sion wee alighted from our Asses and entring I noated it well for now I had seene three of the foure gates And being desirous to see the North-gate also they brought me to the Church of S. Thomas which is within the wall all ruinated then to the Churche of ● Marke whether Peter came being deliuered out of prison by y ● Angell that brake open the gate Then they shewed me the house of Zebedeus whence wee came to a place kept by the Abashenes there ascending first by a darke way ledde on by a line or corde wee attained to a high place neere to the Sepulchra sancta where I paid two pieces of siluer to goe in and being entred I demaunded what place it was the same quoth they where Abraham would haue sacrificed his senne Isaac Thence went wee to the prison wherein S. Peter and S. Iohn

shewed vs was the place iudiciall next the house of Veronica sancta and demanding of them what Saint that was they told me it was shee that did wipe our Sauiours face as he passed by in his agonie Descending a little lower in the same street they shewed mee the way which our Sauiour went to crucifying called by them Via dolorosa Then on the right hand in the same street I was showne the house of the rich glutton at whose gate poore despised Lazarus lay Holding on our way downe this streete wee came to a turning passage on the left hand whence they tolde me Simon Sirenus was comming toward the Dolorous way when the Soldiours seeing him called him and compeld him against his will to helpe our Sauiour to carie his crosse Then they told mee that in the same place the people wept when Christ answering said vnto them Oh daughters of Ierusalem weepe not for mee c. Next they shewed me the Church where the virgine Marie fell into an agonie when Christ passed by carying his Crosse. Afterward they brought mee to Pilates Palace which though it be all ruinated yet is there an olde Arche of stone which is still maintained by the Christians and it standing full in the high way wee passed vnder it much like the way of passage vnder master Hammons house in the Bulwarke but that the Arch is higher for vpon that Arche is a Gallerie which admitteth passage ouer our heads from one side of the streete to the other for Pilates Palace extended ouer the high way on both sides and Pilate had two greate windowes in the saide Gallerie to gaze out both waies into the streete as master Hammon hath the like aduantage at both his windowes Into this Gallery was our Sauiour brought when hee was showen vnto the Iewes and they standing belowe in the street heard the words of Ecce homo A little from this place is the foote of the staires where our Sauiour did first take vp his Crosse. Then they brought mee to the place where the virgine Marie was conceiued and borne which is the Church of Saint Anna and no Turkish Church Next they shewed me the Poole where Christ cleansed the Leapers and then guiding mee to Saint Stephens gate a little without it vpon the left hand they shewed mee the stone wheron S. Stephen was stoned From hence I sawe the staires going vp to porte Aurea at which porte are diuers reliques to be seen it was the East gate of the Temple which Salomon built vpon mount Moria in which Temple was the place of Sanctum Sancterum but now in that place is builded a goodly greate Church belonging to the Turkes Thus spent I the second day being the 26. of March all within the gates of Ierusalem except my going to see the stone wherewith S. Stephen was stoned The next day being the 27. of March hauing done our dutie to God and the Pater Guardian we hyred Asses for the Friers and the Trouchman to ride on and going foorth the citie gates we mounted and rode directly toward Bythinea By the way as we rode they shewed me the place of the fruitlesse Fig-tree which Christ cursed next the Castle of Lazarus that Lazarus whome Christ loued so well for his house or Castle is in Bythinea but it is vtterly ruinated and nothing to be seene but the two sides of a wall In the same towne they shewed me the house of Marie Magdalen but al so ruinated that nothing is left of it but a piece of a wall there I sawe likewise Marthaes house consisting of three pieces of a wall and thence they brought me to the stone where the two sisters tolde Christ that Lazarus was deade from whence passing on they shewed me the place where our Sauiour raised Lazarus from death after he had lien three daies in the ground and where he was buried afterward when he died This place hath bin not ably kept from the beginning and is repaired still by the Christians but yet in poore and very bare sort and this is all that I saw in Bythinia Frō hence we rode vnto Mount Oliuet passing by Bethphage they brought me to the place where our Sauiour tooke the Asse and Colte when he rode to Ierusalem vpon Palme Sunday Riding from Bethphage directly to the North wee came to the foote of Mount Oliuet where they shewed me the place Benedicta of the virgin Maries Annunciation and ascending to the top of the Mount wee saw the place of our Sauiours Ascension at the sight whereof we said our Prayers and were commaunded withal to say 5. Pater nosters and 5. Aue Maries but we said the Lords praier tooke notice of the place and departed This is the very highest parte of Mount Oliuet and hence may be discerned many notable places as first West from it is the prospect of the new Cittie of Ierusalem Southwest from it may be seene the prospect of Mount Sion which is adioyning to new Ierusalem also in the valley betweene Sion and the mount whereon I stood I sawe the brooke Cedron the Poole Silo the Garden wherein our Sauiour praied the place where afterward he was betrayed and diuers other notable things in this valley of Gethsemanie as the Tombe of Absolon king Dauids sonne the Tombe of Iehoshaphat and others which I will speake of as I come to them Full South frō mount Oliuet I could see the places we came last from as all Bythinia and Bethphage also East North-east from this mount may be scene both the riuer of Iordan which is some 15. miles off and Iericho which is not so farre because it is to the Westward of Iordan From mount Oliuet East and East-South-east may be seene the lake of Sodome and Gomorrha which is some 100. miles long 8. miles ouer all these places I set with the Compasse when I was on mount Oliuet for I staied on the top of it some two houres and a halfe hauing a little Compasse about me Descending hence toward the foote Westward wee came to a place where the Friers told me that a woman called S. Pelagia did penaunce in the habit of a Frier whereat I smiling they demaunded why I did so I answered that to beleeue Pelagia was a Saint stood out of the compasse of my Creede they tolde me when I should come home at night they would shew me sufficient Authours for it but when I came home I had so much to doo in writing my notes out of my table bookes that I had no leysure to vrge their Authours for S. Pelagia By this time they brought vs to the place where our Sauiour did foresee the iudgement then where he made the Pater noster and then where the Apostles made the Creede From hence wee came to the place where Christ wept for Ierusalem thence to the place where the virgin Marie gaue the gyrdle to S. Thomas and then to the place where she prated for S. Stephen all these last
