of the Jews This Chappel belongs to the Abyssins and has five Lamps in it Having passed this Chappel you come to a narrow Stair-case of which the first Steps are of wood and the rest cut in the Rock being nineteen in all where after you have put off your Shoes you come upon Mount Calvary upon which there are two Chappels separated by a Pillar that supports the Roof and so divides them that one may still go from the one into the other These two Chappels are adorned with Marble and the first of them which is on the left hand as you enter is the place where the Cross of our Lord was planted and in the middle of a neat Table of white Marble in form of an Altar which is about ten foot long seven foot broad and two foot raised from the floor The place where the Cross of our Lord was planted is the hole wherein the Cross of our Lord was fixed this hole is round a large half foot in diametre two foot deep and has a Silver-Plate about it on which the Mysteries of the Passion are embossed the Christians thrust their Arms into this hole and have their Chaplets touched there On our Saviour's right hand about five foot distant from him was the Cross of the Good Thief and on our Lord 's left hand six foot distant that of the Wicked Thief These three Grosses were not in a streight line but made a kind of triangle our Lord standing more backward so that he could easily see the two Thieves Where these two Crosses stood there are at present two little Marble-Pillars and Crosses upon them Betwixt the hole where the Cross of our Lord was placed and the Cross of the Wicked Thief is the Cleft of the Rock that was rent it is a foot wide and covered with a Wire-Lettice This Chappel belongs to the Greeks and there are in it eight and and forty Lamps and two Candlesticks of twelve branches a piece Near to the Cross of the Good Thief there is a Door by which the Greeks go into the Quire that belongs to them and into their Lodgings The other Chappel is called the Chappel of Crucifixion The Chappel of Crucifixion because in that place our Lord was laid upon the Cross and had his Hands and Feet pierced and nailed to it from whence he was carried to the place where the Cross was set up in the hole about six foot distant This Chappel is covered all over with Mosaick Work and upon the Pavement in the middle thereof there is a place marked with Marble of several colours and that is the very place where our Lord was Crucified and shed much Blood when his Feet and Hands were pierced This Chappel belongs to the Latin Monks and has two Altars before which are sixteen Lamps and a Candlestick of twelve branches Near to that there is another Chappel where they say the Blessed Virgin and St. John were while they Crucified our Lord and heretofore there was a Door to enter into it but at present there is no more but a Window with a Grate and the entry into it is without the Church of the Holy Sepulchre Going down the way you come up The Chappel of our Lady of Pity The Tombs of Godfrey of Boulloin and his Brother Baldowin The Epitaph of Godfrey of Boulloin The Epitaph of Baldowin you come to the Chappel of our Lady of Pity which is under Mount Calvary where are the Tombs of Godfrey of Boulloin and his Brother Baldowin Kings of Jerusalem that of Godfrey of Boulloin is on the right hand as you enter the Chappel it is made with a ridged Roof supported by four Stone-Pillars bearing this Epitaph Engrav'd on the Marble in Gothick Characters Hic jacet inclytus Dux Godefridus qui totam istam terram acquisivit cultui Christiano cujus anima regnet cum Christo Amen And Baldowin's Tomb is on the left hand but all of white Marble supported also by four little Stone-Pillars with this Epitaph Rex Baldewinus Judas alter Machabaeus spes Patriae vigor Ecclesiae virtus utriusque quem formidabant cui dona tributa ferebant Cedar Aegyptus Dan ac homicida Damascus proh dolor in modico clauditur hoc tumulo At the bottom of the same Chappel on the right hand The Tomb of Melchisedeck there is a great Tomb of curious Porphyrian-Marble about three foot high which they say is the Monument of the High Priest Melchisedeck Behind the Altar of this Chappel you may see the Cleft of the Rock underneath the place where the Cross of our Lord stood and they say that Adam's Skull was found in that place from whence Mount Calvary took the Name of Golgotha that is to say a Dead Man's Skull which we explain by the word Calvary There is always a burning Lamp in that Chappel entertained by the Georgians to whom it belongs They say that this Chappel is the place where the Blessed Virgin took our Lord in her arms when he was let down from the Cross and it is therefore called the Chappel of our Lady of Pity As you go out of that Chappel you see on the left hand before the Church-Door along the Wall four fair Sepulchres of white Marble where the Children of Baldowin are interred The Tombs of the Children of Baldowin on one of which is this Epitaph upon well cut Marble Septimus in tumulo puer isto Rex tumulatus est Baldewinus regum de sanguine natus quem tulit e mundo sors primae conditionis paradisiacae loca possideat regionis but one hath much a do to read the latter part of it because it pleased the Greeks heretofore to spoil these Tombs that they might abolish the memory of the Western Kings but at present they are not suffered to do it Near to that is the Stone of Unction The Stone of Unction upon which Joseph of Aramathea anointed the Body of our Lord after it was taken down from the Cross it is almost seven foot long and two foot broad and is now covered over with greyish Marble because the Pilgrims broke always bits off of it it is adorned all round with a chequered border of little white and red Marble-Stones and that no body should tread upon it for it is but about a foot above ground it is enclosed within an Iron-Grate the ends of which are leaded into the Pavement of the Church and there are two Copper-Candlesticks one at each end leaded in in the same manner in which the Latin Monks keep two Wax-Tapers burning There are always eight Lamps burning over that Stone which are entertained by all the eight Nations that are in the Holy Sepulchre to wit the Latins Greeks Abyssines Cophtes Armenians Nestorians and Jacobites but the Stone belongs to the Latins After that continuing to go round the Church you come to a pair of Stairs before which there is a round white Marble-Stone even with the Pavement and set

beyond it Three Sanctuaries Sofis as also into the Kings Stables or Kitchins are in safe sanctuary no body dares tread upon that step which many in devotion kiss and the Gate is guarded by Sofis who are always there in great Numbers There is an entery into the King's House by the Court that is beyond it but that is not the principal Entry The Gate of the Palace Going back again into the Meidan a little beyond the Gate of Aly is the ordinary Gate of the King's Palace it is but an indifferent Gate and there are hundreds better in Ispahan Before these Gates upon an Earthen work raised three foot high or thereabouts there is a great Number of great and small Guns some mounted and others not which were all taken at Ormus Opposite to this Gate on the other side of the Square there is a Mosque with a Dome covered with Earth burnt and varnished green the Porch whereof is very high and painted all over with lovely Colours varnished for the rest it is but inconsiderable and the entry into it is by some steps There is another Mosque at the South end of the place which seems to be of the same contrivance but is far neater and this is called the King's Mosque not onely because it was founded by Schah Abbas the first but also because it is near the Palace Before this Mosque there is a Parvis or Walk of many Angles and in the middle of it a Bason of Water likewise Polygone the Porch is all over painted and varnished with blew yellow and many other Colours in great Flowers and over each side there is a Minaret painted in the same fashion with a very pretty Balcony out of which juts a kind of little Turret The Gates of the Mosque It hath two Gates almost three fathom high a piece and about a fathom wide which are faced all over with Plates of Silver with some Curiosities here and there embossed and there is a step there just like to that of Aly Capi. Having passed these Gates you enter into a great square Court paved with large smooth Stones in the middle whereof there is a square Bason of Water and along the side by which you enter a kind of gallery under which there are some shops there is another over head where you may see the doors of a great many little Chambers which as I think serve for lodging Rooms for the Scholars of the Medrese Fronts to the five Gates of the Mosque In the middle of the fourth side of the Court which faces you as you enter is the Mosque which hath five Gates and each of them its Porch the middlemost is at least ten fathom wide and about ten or twelve high the other two on each side lessen proportionably as they are distant from the middle This frontispiece hath a Minaret on each side which surpass it above three fathom in height and all is built of white Marble about a fathom high the rest being painted with several lovely colours and varnished over The entry of the middle and chief Porch is about six or seven fathom broad on the outside for on the inside it draws narrower by degrees till you come at the end of it where there are two doors which are also very high and are each above a fathom wide This is the entry into the Mosque which is large and spacious with a vast round Dome very well built and all painted and varnished It is square and divided into five Isles by a double range of six or seven great stone-Pillars two or three fathom high on each side The side Isles have their several entries by these four other Gates which with that of the middle Porch make all the frontispiece of the Porch of that Mosque and the middle Isle or Body with its Porch is much higher as I said then the rest and the two next exceed also the two remotest in proportion of height Along the Wall on the left hand are Windows reaching from the pavement a fathom high they are all square holes through which one may see into the Cloyster that is on the left side and which is one of the Courts of the Medrese● that I have mentioned All the Walls of this Mosque are of white Marble from the paving a fathom high the rest like the Dome is painted with various colours and varnished The pavement is all of large and very smooth Stones but under the Dome it is covered all over with lovely Carpets and the outside of the Dome is faced with green Bricks varnished After all Christians are not suffered to enter it it and if one be found there and known he is driven out with Cudgels like a Dog and yet that hindered not me from going thither with Monsieur Diagre master of the Dutch factory at Ispahan for which purpose both he and I put our selves into the habit of the Coutrey and received not the least affront At the corner of the Meidan betwixt South and West there is a Street in which to the right hand is the Gate of the King 's Haram that 's to say his Wifes house and on the left hand is his Karchanee that 's to say his Work-house because all the Workmen of every sort of trade who are under his pay work there they all have their shops and it is like to an Arsenal where all trades are to be found One of the finest things to be seen at Ispahan are the stately Gardens of Hezar Dgerib the chief building whereof is pleasant and at the end of the fair Street of Tcharbag or Tcheharbag but since that Street leads to it The Street of Tcheharbag and that it hath particular beauties of its own I think fit to describe it before I come to the description of Hezar Dgerib Tcheharbag which signifies four Gardens is a great Street near a hundred paces broad and above two Italian miles in length On the side of Ispahan there is at the head and entry into it a little Pavillion or Square building two stories high adorned with many Balconys and painted Windows to which they come from the King's Palace by a kind of corridor or curtain and this Street ends at Hezar Dgerib as we have just now said It is bounded on both sides by the Walls of a great many Gardens and at certain distances by little houses of uniform Symmetry which have all a little Pavillion and doors that open into the Gardens that belong some to the King and the rest to several great Lords who take their diversion in these places About twelve steps from the Garden-Walls there is on each side a row of lovely Plane Trees planted in a streight line which yield a rare shade and in the middle betwixt those two rows of Trees runs along the whole Street a current of Water in a Canal of fair Stone about five foot deep and thirteen over adorned here and there with Cascades and some rare
