out bearing his Crofs, when he went to Mount Calvary j and it is called the 
Judgment-Gate, becaufe thofe that were condemned to Death, went out of the 
City by it, to the place of Execution ; at prefent it is v^àthin the City. Having 
advanced a few ftcps, we faw on our right hand the Houfe of r'fro;7/c-^, who The Houfeof 
feeing our Saviour coming loaded with his Crofs, and his Face befmeared with Veronica. 
Sweat and Spittle, went out of her Houfe, and having made way through the 
Croud, took a white Veil off of her Head, and therewith wiped our Lord's Face, 
whg in teftimony of his thankfulnefs for that charitable office, left the Image 
of his Holy Face ftamped upon her Veil, which is fliewn in St. Peters^ at Rome, 
four times a year : There are four Steps up to the Door of this Houfe. Next 
to that, on the right hand, is the Houfe of the Rich Glutton ^ then on the left, The Hopfc 
the place where our Saviour faid to the Women of Jerufdim who wept, Wei^ f^on^"^'^ 
not for me^ bnt for yoH and your Children. A little after, is the place where S 
thzCyrenean helpt our Lord to carry his Crofs, when be fe'ldown under that 
heavy burthen. Then on the right hand is the place of the Blelied Virgin's 
Trance, who fainted away when (he faw our Lord bearing his Crofs, and fo 
fpightfully ufed. Proceeding on our way, about an hundred paces farther, 
we paiFed under the Arch upon which Ptlatefet our Lord, faying. Behold the 
man ; it is a large Arch, reaching from one fide of the itreet to the other : The Arch of 
This Arch hath two Windows that look into the flreet, which are feparated 
only by a little Marble Pillar : Under thefe Windows, is this Infcription, 
Tolle, Tolle^ Cruc^fi^e eiim. Beyond that Arch, st the end of a ftreet on the 
left hand, is the Palace of where cur Lord was cloathed with a white 
Robe in derifion, and fent back to Ttlate^ with whom Herod being formerly 
at variance, was that day raconciled. Leaving ihat ftreeton theleft hand' 
after a few fteps, you come to the Palace of Pilate on the right hand, which is The Palace 
at prefent inhabited by the Balha : The Stairs of that Palace are to be feen at of Pftoe. 
Rome^ near to St. John de Latran, being fent thither by St. Helen ; they are at 
prefent called ScaU SanBa, becaufe our Lord afcended them, when he was led •^''^^'^ San5îa, 
before Pilate, and came down again the fame Stairs, to go before Herod ; then 
being lent back by Herod, he went them up again, and afterwards defcended 
them when he went to execution. In place of that Stair-cafe, there is another 
of eleven fteps, which are now Sufficient, becaufe lince thaf^time the 
Street is much raifed by the Ruines. Having gone up thefe eleven Iteps, you 
come into a Court, and turning to the Left Hand, you enter into the Bafha's 
Kitchin, which is the place where P/7*z/e wafhed his Hands, in that Kitchin 
there is a Window that looks into the Court, or open place rhat is before the 
Temple of Salmon, from that Window we faw the Front of the faid Temple, 
atone end of the Courts there are feveral Arches that make a lovely Pq^ch 
before theCoor of the faid Temple, fupported by feveral fair Pillars. There 
is a hole in that Kitchin, which fer.ves at prefent to lay Coals in, and is 
thought to have been the Prifon into which our Lord was put. Heretofore 
there was a paflage from this Palace to the Arch of Behold the Man,- ( that we 
mentioned before. ) Comiiig out of the Palace, we went over to the other 
iide of the Street, into a Chappel , called the Place of Flagellation, becaufe The place of 
our Saviour was Scourged there ; the Turks make ufe of it at prefent for a Flagellation. 
Stable. In that place ends ( according to the way we went ) or rather begins 
the Dolorous Wayj which reaches froin the Houfe of Pilate, to Mount C^/- 
vary, aboutaMilein length. Having feen thefe things, (to avoid the heat) 
we refolved to fee the moft diftant places before the Sun were too high ; and 
therefore went put by St. Stefhen'*s Gate, anciently called Porta Gregis, or the p^^^^ • 
Sheep-Gate, without which, we faw the place where the Blefled Virgin let her 
Girdle fall to St. Thomas, when he faw her Body and Soul carried up to Hea-^ 
ven; then we went up to the Mount of Olives, in the middle whereof is the Mount of 0- 
place where our Lord wept over Jerufalem-, forefeeing its futare Ruine: The ''wi. 
truth is, one has a very good view of it from that place, and may at leifure 
there confider all the external beauties of the Temple of Salomon, as alfo the 
Church of the Prefentation of our Lady, which joyns the faid Temple, and 
is magnificently built. Here it was that the Bleffed Virgin was by her Father 
and Mother prefented to the good Widdows, who lived near to the Temple, 
and taught young Girls Breeding and good Manners. The Turks have con-
