addition of cold water. This is tke nobleft Bath of any The Anti-chamber 
very l irge, the Bath-room capacious, and high-arched, and adorned with 
5. Cupola's: one a very fair one, ovenhe great round Bath in the middle^ 
and one leffer, over each of the 4 corners; where are either Baths or Bath- 
ftoves for more private ufe : In thefe the Turks take off the hair of their 
Bodies by a ffilothrum mixt with foap ; it being not their cuftom, to have 
any hair, except on their beards, and a lock on the crown of their heads. 
Twelve Pillars fapport the great Cupola, between 8 whereof are fountains 
of the hot water, and between the other arc places to fit down, where the 
Barbers and Ba^h-men attend. And each of thefe places have 2 citterns of 
free-ftone, into which are let in hot Bath- water and alfocold water, to be 
mixt and tempi^red as every one pleafeth. 
Men bathq inthe morning, and Women m the afternoon. When any 
man intends to bathe, havmg entred the firft room?, he findes there divers 
fervants attending, and furnifhing him with a cloth and apron. Then he 
putsoffhis appkel, and having put on the apron, he entreth the 1^ room^ 
wherein the great Bath is, and fits on the fide of the Bath, or between the 
Pillars nigh a fountain • where the Barber ftrongly rubs him with his hand 
opened, ftrctching out his armes, and lifting them up • after which the 
party bathetb. Then, if he be a fubjed of the G.Sigmrs^ or, it be the

beard, except the upper-lip. Next, the Barber rubs his breaft, back, arms 
and legs, with an hair-cloth, while he either fitteth, or lyeth with his 
face downward ,• then wafhes his head with foap, and after throws cold 
water upon him all over his Body and fo the party walks about in the 
fte^mi of the Bath for a time. 
Thefe Baths are made ufe of two waye5,e/r^fr by cncring into the wa-

makes the whole room a ftove and moft fweac as long as they ftay in it ; 
and fome enter not the water at all, but have it powr*d upon them ,or elfe
