4a FROM THESSALONICA, 
CHAP, ment' with Silas, and the circumstance of 
^. - ' that apostle having addressed one of his 
Epistles to its inhabitants^, will cause Philippi 
to be regarded with no common sensations of 
interest and curiosity. Afterwards, ascending 
the mountainous boundary of the plain on its 
north-eastern side, by a broad antient paved-way, 
we had not day-light enough to enjoy the fine 
prospect of the sea, and of the town of Cavallo 
upon a promontory. At some distance lies the 
Isle of Thasos, now called Tasso : it was 
indistinctly discerned by us ; but every other 
object, excepting the town, began to disappear 
as we descended towards Cavallo; where we 
halted for the night ; having been three hours 
upon the journey from Pravista. 
At Cavallo we fell in with the route followed 
(1) " And when tliey had laid many stripes upou them, they cast 
them iuto prison ; charging the jailer to keep them safely : Who, 
having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, 
and made their feet fast in the stocks. And, at midnight, Paul and 
Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God : and the prisoners beard 
them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake," &c. Acts xvi. 
23, 24, 25. 
(2) There is an allusion to this event, and its consequences, in the 
beginning of the Epistle to the Philippians. "The things which 
have happened unto me, have fallen out rather unto the furtherance 
of the gospel : so that my bonds, for Christ, are manifest IN ALL 
CiEsAR's COURT, and to all others." Philipp. i. 12, ]3.
