house erected ouer the Sepulcher they shew vnto strangers a marble piller whereunto they say our Sauiour was bound when hee was whipt for our sakes but who is so simple to thinke that there was any marble piller erected without the Citie for such a purpose to punish offendors as they accounted our Sauiour Christ at that day Or who knoweth the particular place where he was imprisoned at this day Yet say they this is the place where Christ was imprisoned whiles they were making his Crosse And this is the place where the Crosse being laid a long our Sauiour was fastened or nailed vnto it And this is the place where the Crosse stoode and haue made there two holes in signe of it as though the nether parte of his Crosse consisted of two parts or pillers And néere vnto the tower of Sylo they shew a water comming from vnder a rocke which they call the poole Syloam and there say they did the Virgine Mary wash the childs clouts And neere vnto the Sepulcher there is a great stone clouen with hammers and set one piece a foot from another and this say they is the vayle of the Temple which rent in sunder at the time of Christs suffering which is most rediculous And although it be true as we read Luke 19. 29. 30 c. that Christ rode on that Asse which his two Disciples brought from the village ouer against mount Oliuet called Bethania or Bethphage for they are both together and as hee rode from the mount of Oliues to Ierusalem the people cried Hosanna and spread their garments in the way and cut down branches from the trées and strawed them in the way Yet it is a rediculous matter and a superstitious custome for their chiefe Frier called Padre Guardian euery Palme Sunday in the morning to send two of his Friers from the mount of Oliues to Betha●ia to fetch the Colt of an Asse and from thence in an apish imitation of Christ the great one rideth on the litle one towards Ierusalem and the rest spread their garment on the Asse and in the way and cut downe branches from the trees and straw them in the way Wiser are the Turkes herein then they who although they suffer them to come with their Asse to the gates of Ierusalem yet admit them not to enter into the gates in such manner And that Turke was to be commended who when the Friers followed their Guardian in such sort riding on an Asse seeing a simple Christian woman strip her selfe so farre as in modesty she might and spread her garments in the way tooke a cudgel and all to belabored her therewith saying Thou foole art thou so mad to thinke that this is Christ I with the rest of my companions was at Ierusalem on Palme Sunday but neither saw this no heard of it vntill it was done for it séemed that they were ashamed that any man of knowledge should behold such an absurd sight But the Frenchmen and Dutchmen and many others of other nations followed them but not one Englishman who could not patiently endure to see their Sauiour Christ so dishonoured At Bethania and Bethphage are many fig-trées growing and on this fig trée say they Zacheus being a man of worship in a famous Citie like a boy climed vp to see Christ as he passed by Luke 19. 2 3. And at Ierusalem they take vpon them to shewe the place where Christ made the Pater noster where the Apostles made the Creed and where S. Stephen was stoned and where Iudas hanged himselfe Pilats house Peters prison The garden where he was betrayed Where the Virgine Mary was in an agony Where Christ said to his mother Ecce homo and shee said vnto him Ecce mulier On mount Oliuet there is a litle Chappell and therein a stone whereon say they our Sauiour Christ trode when he ascended into heauen and the print of his toes remaine to be séene in that stone to this day There is indéed a dint in a stone like vnto the former part of a mans foote but that it is the print or impression of our Sauiours féet who will beléeue that he trode so hard to leaue any impression of his foot or tipping of his toes behind At the foot of mount Oliuet they shewed vs the valley of Iehosapha and there say they shall bee set a throne at the day of Iudgement wherein Christ shall sit and kéepe his last iudgement and all nations shall appeare before him euen in this very place say they as though any man could demonstrate the very particular place The ground of this opinion they fetch from Ioel 3. 2. where God saith I will g●ther all nations and will bring them downe into the valley of Iehosaphat c. which place they doe not or will not vnderstand For it is to be vnderstood either by the way of alluding as hauing regard to the valley where God miraculously slew the enemies of Jehosaphat and so it may signifie the valley of destruction prepared for the wicked Or the Lord hath respect vnto the word Iehosaphat which signifieth pleading or iudgement because God would in the day of Christ iudge the enemies of the Church as then hee did in the valley of Jehosaphat Wherefore it is not to bee vnderstood of the materiall Josaphat but of Josaphat so tearmed because the iudgement which heere shall bee pronounced shall resemble that which there was executed vpon the Moabites and Amonites and the inhabitants of Seir. For what is Iosaphat if you interpret it but the iudgement of the Lord And what is the valley but the depth of that iudgement Into which Solomon doth assure the yoong man that God will bring him after all the iollity of his youth after hée hath chéered himselfe in the daies of his youth and walked in the way of his heart and in his sight Eccl. 11. 9. After conference had with their Padre Vicatio who was accounted the best learned amongst them hauing told him thus much in effect as I haue héere written he asked me a reason why the Prophet should specifie this place if he meant not literally to teach the Church that héere this Iudge was to be expected My answer was Two reasons had he to make choice of it by allusion to which he might shadow to the Iewes the day of Iudgement One was the freshnesse of that famous deliuerances memorie which the Lord had wrought in it for them Another the great resemblance that will be betwéene the generall and that particular iudgement of his For from the time of this Prophet yet had there not a mans age passed since without stroke of theirs the Lord had in this valley within the sight of this City dispatched thrée whole armies which had ioined forces to beleager them And further in such sort as in that generall iudgement he will dispatch the wicked For as héere though the Moabite the Amonite and the inhabitant of Seir bound themselues against Iuda and yet
