little pleasure in our companions the Gnats and other stinging creatures We proceed for the River Jordan where we arrived by day-light and tarried about an hour to swim in the River the stream is strong and rapid and the force of a man can little more then resist it it runs into the Dead Sea Our Guard were very hasty for us to be gone being afraid their Enemies should find them therefore we all made ready and set forward for the Dead Sea about two hours after in our way to the Sea we passed through a most cursed barren place not having so much as a green herb or grass and the face of the earth was covered with Salt and though it was dry yet our Horses sunk up to the Knees We come now to the Dead Sea being about Seventy or Eighty Miles in Breadth and about Eighteen Over There is no place Visible from whence the Water which comes into it runs out again except it be under the earth neither doth it seem to Increase with the water of the River Jordan and of sevaral other waters that run into it It was once a fruitfull Valley and compared for delight unto Paradise and was called Pentapolis of her five Cities and was afterward destroyed with fire from Heaven and turned into this silthy Lake and barren desolation which doth encompass it to try the virtue that is reported to be in the water wherein they say a man cannot sink some of our Company went into the Sea and found it impossible to get their bodies under water yea could hardly keep their legs under The water is sulphury and the extremity of the saltness is not to be exprest when they came out of the water there was a perfect Oyl upon their bodies Our Eyes being satisfied with Curiosities and Rarities we make what hast we can back to Jerusalem but I should have given you an Account that the Ruins of one of the Cities that were destoryed for Sodomy now lyes good part out of the water and is supposed to be Zeboim Now the Sun gets strenght and grows extraordinary hot and by reflection on the ground makes the heat so violent that our faces looked as if the skin were flead off by riding in the Sun from Morning till four of the Clock in the afternoon but the Fathers being accustomed to meet with tender-faced Travellers soon provided something to mitigate our pain which was much increased by reason of the saltness of the water of the Dead Sea this night we took little pleasure in eating but more in sleeping having had but little in this Voyage Having now visited all the places in the Holy Land which Pilgrims usually do we prepare our selves for our return June Ninth we being resolved to set forward in our Return In the Morning the Father Guardian came to us and gave us his blessing and sprinkled us with Holy Water desiring us to excuse our Bad Treatment and that if at any time we had been distasted we would pass it over but we Knew it was but a complement for we had the Civilest Entertainment imaginable and very far from disgusting us for there were none of them but were not only ready to be our servants but our Slaves yea my honest name-sake Father Tomaso never ceased from Morning to Night from bringing us either Victuals or Drink or asking us whether we wanted any thing and now for this his fourteen days service we were no ways capable to recompence him for they would take no money but for our Victuals and for some other small services we therefore presented to the Convent thirty Livers apeice and some that had servants presented more The Father Procurator receiving it they entred all our names in a Book and the sums we gave the Book where the names only were written we had a view of and took a Coppy of all the Englishmens names that were in it from the year One Thousand Five Hundred Sixty One to this day being One Hundred Fifty Eight in number Now taking our leaves of the Fathers they all shewed a great deal of affection to us weeping and expressing their desires to enjoy our company longer and our desires were as much to be nearer home that we might have an Account of our Freinds June the Fourth we departed our Muletters having provided us Horses and our intentions were to take Emaus in our way but night drawing on we made St. Jeroms Church our sleeping place there were formerly Fathers lived in it but the Arabs came upon them in the night and cut all their throats The Church is very well built and hath been adorned with Pictures upon the wall of which some remain to this day About too hours riding from Jerusalem we passed over the brook out of which they say David gathered the pebble stones wherewith he slew Goliah June Fifth we arrived at the Convent in Ramath about ten of the Clock in the Morning where we tarried till about midnight at which time there was a Ship to depart and some of us intended to embarque the rest of us took a little boat about the bigness of a Gravesend Barge we put our provisions of Bread and Wine aboard and so we put to Sea keeping always neer the shore for fear of a storm After three days sayl we arrived at Aerica formerly called Ptolemais we always coming to Anchor at night this place is famous for nothing but the ruins the Road being so bad that all the Art Captains have can but keep their Cables together The Commodities in this place are only Cottons Pot-ashes and fome Filletto's Two days after we arrived at Tripoly where we made bold at our old House the Consul receives us very gladly and our design was to depart next day but the Plague still raging at Aleppo the Consul forced us to stay with him Twelve or Fourteen days all which time we were treated like Princes and then by his leave we imbarqued on a Dutch Ship for Scanderoon the rest of our Company whom we left at Aerica to goe to see the of Gallilee being arrived June Twenty Six we arrived at Scanderoon where some were dead and others dying and one flying from another We tarried upon the Mount and aboard the Ship for some time and July 2d we arrived at Aleppo where there dyed at that time Seventy or Eighty of a day of the Plague And thus ended our Journey FINIS Books Printed for and Sold by N.
