^eter, which is yet ufed by the Turks, to imprilon 
l We guilty of great crimes. 1 7. A Greek chape!, 
^here Abraham intended to offer his fon Ifaac on 
the place of Skulls. The holy Sepulchre is in the 
middle of the church, which is built over the holy 
places, in the middle point of that choir which be- 
longs to the Latins, and which is the middle part of 
the church. The chapel round the holy Sepub 
c hre, is quadrangular, confifting of two apartments ; 
the exterior can hold twelve people, and the inte- 
ri or fix. In the interior apartment is a coffin of 
Garble, on one fide of the wall, over the burial 
Place : over this hang a number of lamps, beloirg- 
!n g to all the different fefts. The chapel is ruin- 
ous, and cannot be repaired on account of the dif- 
e niions of the fefts. Directly oppolite the door of 
this chapel, the Greeks have their magnificent 
j;hoir ; and over it is the place where Chrift was 
lx ed to the crofs, belonging to the Greeks, built in 
' l half cylindric form. The large choir adjoins alfo 
to a gallery, of which the Armenians have a ffiare, 
^ lifting of a fpaee, containing feven columns for 
t^ir chapel. The Syrians have under this their 
c hapel. The Coptites have theirs behind the chapel 
j jhe holy Sepulchre. The veftry room of the 
• “ttins is under their gallery; from which they go 
Co their little convent, where they have conftantly 
etl or twelve monks.
