AD THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



1581. 



Upon the other side of the mount of Calvarie is 

 the place where Abraham would have sacrificed his 

 Sonne. Where also is a chapell, and the place paved 

 with stones of divers colours. 



There is also the house of Annas the high Priest, 

 and the Olive tree whereunto Christ was bound when 

 he was whipt. Also the house of Caiphas, and by it 

 the prison where Christ was kept, which is but the 

 roome of one man, and hath no light but the opening 

 of the doore. 



Without Jerusalem in the vally of Josaphat is a 

 church under the ground, like to the shrouds in 

 Pauls, where the sepulchre of the virgin Mary is : the 

 staires be very broad, and upon the staires going 

 downe are two sepulchres : upon the left hand lieth 

 Josaphat, and upon the right hand lieth Joachim and 

 Anna, the father and mother of the virgin Mary. 



Going out of the valley of Josaphat we came to 

 mount Olivet, where Christ praied unto his father 

 before his death : and there is to be scene (as they 

 II. i. 154.] tolde me) the water & blood that fell from the eyes 

 of Christ. A litle higher upon the same mount is the 

 place where the Apostles slept, and watched not. At 

 the foot of the mount is the place where Christ was 

 imprisoned. 



Upon the mountaine also is the place where Christ 

 stood when he wept over Jerusalem, and where he 

 ascended into heaven. 

 His departure Now having scene all these monuments, I with my 

 company set from Jerusalem, the 20 day of August, 

 and came againe to Joppa the 22 of the same moneth, 

 where wee tooke shipping presently for Tripolis, and 

 in foure dayes we came to Mecina the place where the 

 ships lie that come for Tripolis. 

 Tripolis in The citie of Tripolis is a mile and a halfe within 



c)V7^. ^^ land, so that no ship can come further then 



Mecina : so that night I came thither, where I lay 

 nine daies for passage, and at last we imbarked our
