Hungary.^ which gave 'Birth * to Stt Stephenf their firii; 
Chriftian King, and King Stephen III. lies entomb’d 
here. This Place has endured many remarkable Sieges, 
having been often taken and retaken : It yielded in 
1683, to the Duke of Lorrain. Oppofite to it h Bar^ 
chan^ being joinM to it by a Bridge of Boats,^ ’From 
hence we pafTed to Vicegrade or Vizzegrade, having two 
Caftles, the Upper Caftle being feated upon a_ high 
Rock, where formerly the Crovv^n Hungary was kept. 
The lower Caftle has been formerly a fair StruiRure. 
Here are alfo to be feen theRuins of an ancient Fabrick 
of Arches of fquare Stone. This Place, after it had 
been a confiderable Time in the Hands of the ^'iirks^ 
was furrenderM to the Duke of Lorrain in 1684. Op- 
pofite to Vicegrade lies Maroz, where there is a hand- 
fome Church, the Chriftians living pretty well at Eafe 
here, under the Lurks, becaufe of its voluntary Surren- 
der to them. Below this Place, we faw the large Ifland 
of St. Andrew in the Danube, and fome Ruins of Stohe 
upon the Shore of the Ifle, which the Tam told us were 
the Remnants of a Stone-Bridge. Below this, pafllng By 
which I pafs’d alfo the Year before, I Ihall fpeak only Firt^rij/w/Zjfamous for its large and noble Grapes,, we came 
en pajfant. 
6. Newhawfel, call’d Vywar by the Hungarians, is fi- 
tuate by the River Nitra, not far from Nitria, a ftrong 
Place, taken by Count Vouches, in the late Wars. 
Hewhawfel is a regular Fortification of fix Baftions, in 
the Form of a Scar, After Count Forchatz, the Go- 
vernor thereof, had rafhly engaged with the Lurks at 
Barchan, they laid Siege to this Place, and after a ft out 
Defence made them (elves Matters of it by Capitulation ; of Hungarian Kings, and at prefent of a

have put moft of the Emperor’s hereditary Countries upon the Danube, divided into the Upper and . Lower- 
into a great Confternation, whereas the Emperor’s Auxi- Lown \ wherein are to be feen the Remnants of many 
to Vacia, formerly an Epifcopal See, which has now two 
and one Chriftian Church. It Was taken by the 
Lurks in 1541. and regain’d by the Duke of Lorrain in 
1684, after a fignal Defeat given the Lurks near that 
Place, but being not tenible byRealon of fome adjacent 
Hills, was quitted the fame Year in Autumn. 
8. We changed again our Convoy. here, and we came 
toR^Jt?, formerly the Capital City and ordinary Refidence 
liaries being join’d by that Time, the Lurks receiv’d a 
fignal Difgrace near St. Goddard, the Lofs of which 
Battle procur’d a fpeedy Peace. ThtLurkifh Bajfa lives 
now in the Palace, formerly belonging to the Archbi- 
fhops of Presburgh. Sene or Senia, a Place of Note 
for many Remains of Antiquity found there now and 
then. Here, by the Favour of the Byra or Judge of 
the Place, I got a Roman or Heathen Key, as they call 
it, and feveral Sorts of Coins, (ome of Gold, and fome 
Intaglio^?,, fome of which I prefented to Petrus Lambc- 
magnificent Struftures, built by the ancient Hungarian 
Kings, and efpecially Matthias Corvinus, in whole Pa- 
lace the HzzVr now refides. This had anciently three 
moft admirable Statues of Brafs, of Hercules, Apollo 
and Diana, at its Entrance, which were by Solyman call 
into great Guns ; the whole PaRce, in all other Refpedts 
not approaching to its ancient Glory *, however, here are 
feveral handfome Mofques and Caravanferads. On the 
Top of Sii.Gerardd^ Hill is a Fort, which overlooks the 
Town and Country. But what Buda has moft to boaftof 
cius. The Inhabitants will have its Name to have been now-a-days, are its natural Bathsj efteemed the nobleft 
anciently Apollonium, but without any good Ground, in all Europe, both for the Largenefs of their Springs^ 
In our Way betwixt Raab and Datis, we pafs’d in and the Magnificence of the Buildings i for negligent 
Sight of Martinberg, a ftrong and handfome Town, as the Lurks are in their private Houfes, yet we 
feated upon a Hill. Datis, Lata or Lheodata, twelve found them moft fumptuous in their publick Struflures^ 
Englilb Miles from Gomorrah, has fcarce any Thing re- as their Caravanferads, Mofques, Bridges^ but efpecially 
markable, except its Caftle, and fome natural Baths 
near it. But to return into the Road ; we were row’d 
from Gomorrah in a Saick of twenty four Oars, the Hun- 
garians rowing on one, and the Germans on the other 
Side *, thus pafling by Sene, Heftnil, and Rodwan, we 
came to Match, the Frontier Place, where we were to 
flay for the Lurkijh Convoy, which being ready in the 
Morning, their Officers went aftiore firft, and next our 
Veyda, or Veyvod, with the Interpreter, and Chief of the 
Company, with a flow Pace, and at Meeting faluted 
one another by fhaking of Hands together ; then de- 
livering our Boat to the Lurks, they faftned it to their 
Saick, and fent one into ours to fleer it. At parting 
they faluted the Chriftians with one Gun, and fo with 
eighteen Oars row’d down the Danube, we carrying the 
Eagle in our Flag, and they the Double Sword, Star 
and Half-moon. The Lurkifj Saick having brought us 
to Gran, fet our Boat afhore, and fo left us ; the Go- 
their. Baths, bathing 
being 
in great Requeft among 
them and all other Mohammedans. 
There are here in all eight Bathsj of which I took 
a View during my. Stay in this City, viz. Three towards 
the Eaft and South-Eaft Part of the City, in the Way 
to Confiantinople, and five towards the Weft; End of the 
Town, in the Way to Old Offen and Gran; The firft: 
is a large open Bath, at the Foot of a rocky Hill, 
call’d Purgatory. The fecond has a Cupulo on the Top, 
flands near the fame Hill, but more into the Town. 
The third they call the Bath of the Green Pillars (tho^ 
now they are red) over againft: a Caravanfera : The 
Spring is very hot, yet ufeful without the Addition of 
cold Water ; it contains a petrefying Juice, which is to 
be difeover’d on the Sides of the Bath and its Spouts, 
where it leaves a Gummy Stone behind it y and the Va- 
pours of the Bath coagulated on the Cupola, the Irons 
reaching from one Column to another, and on the Ca* 
vernor took no Notice of us, but being reprimanded pitals of the Pillars, form long Stones like Icicles, which 
upon that Account by an Aga, who came from 
Hewhawjel with four Troops of Horfe, we were foon 
difpatch’d. 
y. The City of Gran, Strigonium, or OJirogon, is fitu- 
ate on the South Side of the Danube, near its Conflu- 
ence with the River Gran ; it is divided into the upper 
and lower Town, each of which has its peculiar Walls, 
that of the lower Town commanding the Danube, 
The Hill of St. Thomas, which overlooks the Place, is 
alfo fortified with a Wail. Here are natural Baths of a 
you fee hanging to ail thefe Places. The Bath is of a 
circular Figure, fee abouP with large Pillars fupporting 
the Cupulo, which has divers Openings, for the free 
Paflage of the Exhalations, notwithftanding which, the. 
Bath continues always as hot as a Stove. The Water 
is let out every Night after the Women have done 
Bathing. 
The Baths on the Weil End are, firft, LadlelU, i. e, 
the Table Bath, being but fmall, the Water whitiih, 
and of a fulphurous Smell, they both driijk of, and
