Part 1. Travels into the h ev ant. 1^5 
We parted from thence next day Wednefday the feventeenth of A^ril about 
four a Clock in the morning, and all the way in Rain, and came about eleven 
of the Clock to Jerufalem. The truth is there is a great deal of reafon in. 
what is faid,that thofe who would vifit the Holy Places,ought to arm themfelves 
with Patience j for in all thefe places they fufFer injuries of all kinds from the 
Turks, befides a great deal of Fatigue, for they mull vifit all the Holy places 
about Jernfalem on Foot, and to the more remote, they ride on Beads, which 
are commonly very bad ^ and they who bear with all purely for Gods fake, may 
merit much, but though there were no merit in the cafe, yet they muH take 
Patience p^r/orce; For he that would huff and play the Bravo, would pay and 
fufFer dearly for it. 
CHAP. 
Of our fécond entry into the Church of the Holy 
Sepulchre, 
TH E fame day we returned from Jordan^ which was Holy Wednefday the . 
feventeenth of Jpril, after we had dined in the Convent of St. Saviour^ 
we entred a fécond time into the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, buc the 
Greeks entered not till the nineteenth of Jlpril, (v/hich was Holy Friday) in the 
Afternoon, fo that we had two days quietly to perform our Devotions in. 
On Holy Thurfday the eighteenth of April in the Morning, we received the 
Blefled Sacrament from the hands of the reverend Father Commiflary, and in 
the Afternoon went in Proceflion to the holy Sepulchre, at the door whereof, 
the reverend Father CommiflTary wafhed the Feet of twelve Monks and Pilgrims, 
of the number of whom, we were ; for when there is a fufficient number of 
Pilgrims, they take no Monks, but when they are fewer than twelve, the rsum- 
b^r is made up with Monks j as alfo when there are more than twelve Pilgrims, 
they caft Lots who (hall be admitted, (as it happened the year before i was 
there) when there was one and twenty, of whom, nine were excluded by Lot ; 
we fat down then all twelve upon the two feats of Marble that are near to 
the Chappel of the Angel, and the Reverend Father CommifFary wafhed all wadiing of 
our Feet and kilTed them, giving to every one of us afterwards a Crofs full of Feet. 
Relicks. All the Oriental Chriftians who were in the Church, (for fome went 
in with us) crouded much to fee that Ceremony, moft part weeping and cry- 
ing aloud when they faw the good old man on his knees wafhing our Feet. 
On holy Friday the ninteenth of April^ when the evening Office was over, we 
went in Proceflion through all the Sandluaries of the great Church, where all 
the mylleries of the Paflion were reprefented to the Life ^ in this Proceffion The Proceflî- 
there were two Monks who carried the one a Box of Aromaticks, and the other ^°'y 
a Bottle of odoriferous Oyl ; every one of the Monks had a lighted Wax-Taper, 
and the R. F. CommifFary carried a Crucifix ; we (who were Pilgrims) marched 
two and two, every one with his burning Taper, and the Father of the Pil- 
grims after us, to tell us what the places were, and the Prayers that were to 
be faid there -, and certainly the Jamz^aries who were with us, did us a great 
kindnefs in making way for us, laying about them with Sticks, for they took 
great care that the Pilgrims fhould not be fqueezed in the terrible croud of 
Chriftians that were there to fee our ProcelFion, and whoprefled one another 
almofl to Death j and indeed, the Latin Monks perform -all their Ceremo- 
nies with great Order and Devotion ; fuch as was admired and reverenced, 
not only by all the Chriftians, but alfo by feveral Turks who were prefent. The Ceremo- 
v/hereas the other Chriftians perform theirs without any Order, but withi^'«"sof the 
great noife, infomoch, that the who make way for them, beat them 
C c 2 themfelves
