and five Hoi- ^j|.|^ ^^^ Hollanders went on land, and hosted at the 

 tlT ^' ''^ ho^s^ ^^ P^^^^ ^^ Venetia. After breakfast we went 

 to see the towne, and passing along we went into some 

 of the Greeke churches, wherein we sawe their Altares, 

 Images, and other ornaments. This done, wee went to 

 Santa Maria a Monasterie of Friers called Sancta Maria de la Croce, 

 de la Croce. these are westerne Christians, for the Greekes have noth-
