this Roc!^ will I build my Chhrchy &c. There we had that Gofpel read to us. 
Others fay, it is the place where our Lord eat Filh with his Apoftles after 
his Refurredtion, when He appeared unto them upon the fide of this Sea. We 
Dined in that place, and then waflied our felves in the Lake j the Water 
whereof is frefli, very good to Drink, and full of Fifh. It is about twelve or 
fifteen Miles long, and five or fix over. It was heretofore called the Sea of 
Lake of Ge- Galilee, or Lake of Genezareth. From thence on the left hand, upon the lîde

John 4". the Dead. About an hundred paces from the Precindl of the Town of Tjhe- 
riasj clofe by the Sea-fide, there is a natural Bath of hot Waters, to which 
they go down by fome fteps. The ancient Walls of Tiberias, reached as far 
as this Bath. We parted from Tiberias about two in the Afternoon, and about 
feven a Clock at Night, arrived at a Village called Sabbato, near to which we 
lay abroad in the open Fields, for our Monks would by no means have us to 
Aain Emd- Lodge at the ufual place, which is at the Caftle, called ylain Ettndgiar, that is 
to fay, the Merchants Well , as being afraid of fome Avanie. Next day, 
Saturday the eleventh of May^ we lefl^hat bad Inn about five a Clock in the 
Morning, and half an hour after, came to a Caftle called Eunegiar^ which is 
fquare, having a Tower at each Corner ; clofe by it there is a Han, which ap- 
pears to be pretty enough, and is alfo fquare : It was at this Caftle ( as they 
where 9oLa fay ) that Jofeph was by his Brethren fold to an Ismaélite Merchant ; the Pit 
was fold. Well, whereunto they had put him firft, is ftill to be feen, but we went not 
toit, becaufe it was quite out of our Road. This Caftle is commanded by a 
Souf-Baflia ; and there we payed a Piafire of Cajfare a piece, of which one half 
goes tothe Souf Balha, and the other to the From thence we went to- 
MountTdW wards Mount r^W, by the ^r^/'^ called CfWro^r, and came an hour after to 
or Cibchonr. ^0°^ *f j where alighting from our Horfes, though »ne may ride up on 
Horfe-back, as fome of our Company did, we got up to the top, about nine a 
.Clock: It is eafie to be mounted, feeing one may go up on Horfe-back, but it 
is alfo very high, being almoft half a League from the bottom to the top. Ha- 
ving taken a little breath, weentred by a low Door into a little Grott, where 
we found on the left hand a Chappel, built in memory of the place where our 
Lord was Transfigured, and of what St. Pertr faid. It is good for us to be here, 
let Hs make thee Tabernacles, &c. This Chappel is made up of four Arches crofs- 
ways, one of them is the entry of the Chappel, that which is oppolite to it, 
is the place where our Lord was when he was Transfigured ; that which is on 
the right hand of it, but on the left hand of thofe that enter into the Chappel, 
is the place where Mofes was ; becaufe in holy Scripture, Mofes is mentioned 
h^ïoxQ Elias. The fourth (which is over againftthatof Mofes) is the place 
where Elias was ; and a Monk read to us there the Gofpel of the Transfigurati- 
on. Near to this place there is a little Plain, and aCiftern of excellent Wa- 
ter. This Mount is lhaped like a Sugar-Loaf, and is covered all over with 
Trees, for moft part hard Oaks. After we had eaten in that place, we came 
down about ten a Clock in the Morning, and took our way towards the Con- 
vent of Naz^areth, where we arrived about one of the Clock. In the Evening 
we went to fee the Houfe and Shop of St. Jofefh, very near to the Convent]; 
there is an old ruinous building there, which appears to have been a Church, 
The Houfe wherein were three 'Altars, built by St. Helen, and a few fteps farther, we

St. Jofeph. precipitate him. ^,
