OF PART THE SECOND. xxi 
Such were the motives, and such was the lan- 
guage, of a traveller in the Holy Land, so long 
ago as the middle of the sixteenth century^; 
who, with the liberal spirit of an enlightened and 
pious Protestant, thus ventured to express his 
sentiments, when the bonfires for burning 
heretics were as yet hardly extinguished in this 
country. Writing live and thirty years before 
Sandys began his journey"-, and two centuries 
and a half before Mons. De Chateaubriand 
published his entertaining narrative, he offers 
an example singularly contrasted with the 
French authors legendary detaiP; in which the

as published by Ray, in 1693. The words included by inverted commas 
are literally taken from Ray's translation of that work. {See the

p. 290.) Rauwolff" was at Jerusalem in 1575. {See chap. viii. p. 315.) 
The religious opinions he professed, and his disregard of indulgences, 
roused the indignation of the monks, particularly of the learqed Quu-

the Holy Land, already cited. I'his was published at Jnticerp in 1639, 
in two large folio volumes, with plates. Referring to the passages 
here introduced from Rauwolff's book, Quaresmius exclaims, " Quid 
amplius Rauchvvoljius ? Ecce in ipso Mnnlc Sion derepente in Prcedi- 
cayitem transforniatus concionari cwpit, et ne turn insignem concionem
