❧ A BRIEFE DESCRIPTION OF IERVSALEM AND THE SVBVRBES THERE∣OF AS IT FLORISHED IN THE TIME OF CHRIST.

1 IErusalem

the elect Cittie of God,* 1.1 holy and most glorious, built vpon the holy mountaines, excelling all the citties of the world, as well by the loftinesse of the seate, as by the moderation and temperature of the heauens,* 1.2 and fruitfulnesse of soile, was situated in the midest of the whole worlde, and of Iudaea, as it were in the very center and heart of the earth.* 1.3 And being as a Queene amongest all other neighbour citties,* 1.4 had the preheminence as the head ouer the body,* 1.5 and shined as the sunne a∣boue others in sumptuousnes and glorious buildings: hauing such surpassing excellency,* 1.6 she was by a cer∣taine singular priuiledge in time past, the onely place which God had chosen to himselfe: and was a figure not only of euery faithfull mans soule, but also of the

elect Church of Christ militant vppon earth,* 1.7 and of that blessed triumphant Church in heauen.* 1.8 A cittie of perfect beautie:* 1.9 the virgin of the worlde, the para∣gon of all the Easte, and the ioye and reioycing of the whole earth.

This cittie was builded about the yeare from the creation of the world,* 1.10 two thousand twenty and three, in the time of Abraham,* 1.11 by Melchisedech the Kinge. In hebrue it was called SALEM; and in Greeke SO∣LYMA: and it seemeth that hee possessed the same fiftie yeares.* 1.12 The which afterwards the Iebusites en∣ioyed,* 1.13 who sprang from Iebusi,* 1.14 the sonne of Chanaan: of whome it was called for a time Iebus, and Iebusaeum at what time Iosua slue the King thereof.* 1.15 And the Ie∣busites helde the same,* 1.16 eighte hundred and twentie foure yeares,* 1.17 who trusted so much to the strength of their cittie,* 1.18 that when king Dauid assailed the same; in contempt of him and of his army they placed vp∣on their walles, the blind, the halt, and the maimed, saying that these were sufficient to beate backe the e∣nemy.

But when Dauid through Gods helpe enioyed the cittie,* 1.19 the Iebusites being expulsed, hee reedified the same rounde, fortified it with a castle, dwelt therein, and made it the Metropolitan cittie of the whole pro∣uince of Iudaea,* 1.20 and the heade of all the kingdome, and from thence foorth called it Ierusalem,* 1.21 as it were Iebussalem the letter b. (to make the better sounde) tourned into r. Notwithstanding there are some which write, that it is called Ierusalem, of the mag∣nificent temple which Salomon builte therein, as it were Hieron Salomonis.* 1.22 For the Greekes call a temple 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.* 1.23 In continuance of time Salomon and other kings of Iudaea greatly enlarged the same, and so for∣tified it with most strong gates, towers, walles, and

trenches, and so adorned it with a temple, with pal∣laces, and with most exquisite buildings, that among other citties it was a miracle of the whole world, and is therefore more honoured with silence, then with all that can be said concerning the same.

In this glory and excellency,* 1.24 Ierusalem florished foure hundred seuenty and seuen yeares, as if it had beene an earthly paradise,* 1.25 being in compasse round about, sixe miles and two hundred and fifty paces. And by the wall and circuit of the cittie, there was a stony trench or vaulte threescore foote deepe, and in bredth two hundred and fiftie, wherein was abiding, about one hundreth and fiftie thousand men.* 1.26 But when the wickednesse of the Princes and people not only had profaned the temple with the abhominati∣ons of Idols,* 1.27 but also had filled the cittie euen to the full with innocent bloud most cruelly shed, the cittie together with the temple, Princes, and people by the iust vengeance of God,* 1.28 was by Nabuchodonoser kinge of Babilon (but Gods whip) so vtterly ouerthrowne,* 1.29 and desolated threescore and ten yeares, that Sion was plowed vp like a field, and Ierusalem was become as a heape of stones,* 1.30 and the mountaine of the tem∣ple, as it were the height and top of woods, so as in the meane time (as Hierom witnesseth) that neither so much as a bird,* 1.31 nor a beast, could flie, or passe through the same.* 1.32

Afterwards the temple only being with much a do and very hardly builded, wanting gates, towers, and walles, was inhabited againe by the Iewes (retourning out of the captiuity of Babilon) threescore yeares.

Moreouer within the space of two and fitie dayes, Nehemia inclosed it in compas three miles and seuen hundred and fity paces,* 1.33 with gates, towers & a strong wall:* 1.34 and afterward, the same being bewtified by the

Machabees,* 1.35 by Herod, and by others very stately, with publique and priuate buildings,* 1.36 recouered the former dignity,* 1.37 being very famous and populous by the space of fiue hundred and foure and twentie yeares:* 1.38 hauing in it many narrow streetes,* 1.39 by reason of the exceeding nomber of houses therein.* 1.40 At what time there,* 1.41 as in a Theater,* 1.42 Iesus Christ wrought our saluation: and from thence as from a center, the apostles spred forth the Euangelicall doctrine throughout the world.

But Titus Emperour of Rome, being brought by the iust iudgement of God to take vengeance for the Death of Christ, the thirtie and eight yeare after his passion, besieged it round, casting a banke about it, & shut vppe the Iewes in the Cittie as in a prison, which came out of euerie Tribe to cellebrate the feast of pas∣ouer there. Wherevpon that Cittie, the woonder of the world, was made a denne of theeues, and a sepul∣cher of dead men. For by reason of ciuill murders, famine, pestilence, and sword, there perished in the same, eleuen hundred thousand Iewes. And as for the Citty it selfe, Titus did so vtterlie subuert it, that men which came vnto it, would scarse beleeue that euer it had beene inhabited. Neuerthelesse, hee left three principall Herodian Towers, that is to say Hippic, Ma∣riam, and Phasel, which were more notable than the rest, aswell for greatnesse as for beawtie, and that part of the Citties wall,* 1.43 which compassed them from the West, vnshaken; to the ende, that both it might bee a Castell for the Romane souldiers which should be left there for a Garrison, and also to shewe vnto posteritie what manner of Cittie,* 1.44 & how well fortified, the force of the Romans had subdued.* 1.45 But after threescore and fiue yeares, the Iewes rebelling againe, A Elius Adri∣anus the Emperour slue many thousands of them, and vtterly subuerted those Towers with the remainder of

the wall,* 1.46 and commaunded the Cittie to bee strewed with salt: whereby it came to passe according to the prophesie of Christ, that there was not left one stone of the Cittie vpon a stone. And building the Cittie a∣gaine in lesse compasse,* 1.47 hee excluded mount Sion, with the pallace of Salomon, and that of the Queene, and the house of the forrest of Libanus, also the gate of the North corner,* 1.48 and the tents of the Assyrians, and all the north parte, euen to the dounge gate and to the gate of Ephraim: but the mount of Caluary, and the sepulcher of the Lord, which were aforetime with¦out the walles, hee inclosed with the North walles of the cittie; and set the picture of a sow cut in Marble vpon the forefrunt of that gate, by which men go to Bethleem, thereby giuing to vnderstande, that the Iewes subiect to that law of swines flesh, were vnder the power of the Romaines: whom by an Edict he for∣bad neuer more to enter into that cittie,* 1.49 or looke into the same from the top of any higher place, and from thenceforth commanded it to be called AEliam Ca∣pitoliam, after his owne name.* 1.50 But after this, being inhabited of the Christians, and dignified with a Pa∣triarchall seate, receiuing againe in continuance of time the name of Ierusalem, florished fiue hundred yeares in Christian religion,

And in the yeare after the birth of Christ sixe hun∣dred thirty and six,* 1.51 it was taken by the Saracens which raigned in Egipt, and so possessed foure hundred three score and three yeares.

After this in the yeare of Christ,* 1.52 1099 the cittie Ierusalem was recouered by the Christians hauing for their Captaine, Godfrey of Bullion, who was the firste that entred vpon the wall of the cittie with great cou∣rage and most fierce assalt, the Ides of Iuly, the very same day and houre, wherein Christ died: And so

greate slaughter was made, throughout al the streetes, lanes,* 1.53 and corners of the cittie, that no man coulde passe but ouer the deade bodies of the slaine: and so exceeding was the effusion of bloud, that men went ouer their shooes in the bloud of the dead:* 1.54 insomuch that the conquerers themselues were from the sole of the foote to the crowne of the heade imbrued with bloud. Who when they enioyed the cittie, putting off their armour, and clensing themselues from their bloud, visited the places of Christs passion, resurrecti∣on, and ascension (which the faithful that dwelt in Ie∣rusalem shewed vnto them) and beheld them with re∣uerence. The eight day after with one conssent they elected Duke Godfrey, and created him the king of Ie∣rusalem. But the man being full of Godlinesse and hu∣mility, would not be crowned with a crowne of gold after the manner of Kinges, in the holy cittye, but contented himselfe and reuerenced the like crowne of thornes, with the which the emperour of mankind was crowned in the same place, when he went to be crucified for our saluation.

Ierusalem therefore being recouered by the Chri∣stians was so held and enioyed by them fourescore and eight yeares.* 1.55 Afterward namely in the yeare, 1187. the second day of october, the Christian prin∣ces (wo and alas) disagreing amonge themselues, Ie∣rusalem was deliuered vp to Saladine the Soldane of Egypt,* 1.56 vppon this condition that it should be lawfull for the Christians to departe with bag and baggage: the which Saladine held it three hundred and thirtie yeares.* 1.57 But in the yeare of our Lord, 1517. it was in∣uaded by Selimo the emperour of turques, & is at this day in the same compasse of walles possessed by the Turkes:* 1.58 who name it Cusumobarech or Codsbarich, that is to say, a holy cittie. So that from the first foundati∣on

thereof vnto this present yeare one thousand, fiue hundred, ninety foure are passed three thousand, fiue hundred, thirtie and one yeares.

THE FIRST PART OF THE CITTIE. THE PLACES VVITHIN THE CITTIE.

2 MOVNT SION,

which is called y^e mount of the Lorde, and the Holy Mountaine, is much more higher then other moun∣taines and larger:* 1.59 after the fashion of a Theater in the fourme of a halfe cir∣cle compassing the cittie on the south parte.* 1.60 And being set as a looking glas on a high place,* 1.61 founded by God vppon a firme rocke,* 1.62 on euery side broken off, had a plainenes thereon like to a towne, and being ve∣ry pleasant and recreatiue, it represented the excel∣lencie and delights of heauen.* 1.63 Whose top the Iebu∣sites first of all fortified with a strong castle, and the compasse thereof with firme and loftie walles, with gates,* 1.64 and with towers. Whome when Dauid the king had expulsed, he made the castle and the walles round about,* 1.65 the gates and the towers, much more defensible,* 1.66 and made the top and plainenesse of the hill into streetes and lanes, and builded there for him∣selfe, for his nobles and worthies, houses, and called it the cittie of Dauid: which now also Iosephus calleth the higher cittie, and the holy parte. The Machabees reedifying the same mountaine in compasse,* 1.67 made it most stronge with many walles,* 1.68 and lofty towers, in such wise as notwithstanding any force, it was inuinci∣ble, only by famine it might be surprised: where were many straight and narrow passages, and many houses of cittizens placed.

From this mountaine,* 1.69 according to the foretelling of the prophets,* 1.70 a law, and an euangelicall light came forth,* 1.71 and as it were from the head it selfe, it was spred forth into the whole bodie of the world, for the sauing health of all nations.* 1.72 The which when the Romanes by the iudgement and will of God, against all hope of man, and without bloudshed had taken (the seditious within the Citty beeing stricken with a sudden feare, and roaming heere and there from the wall, and hi∣ding themselues in their sinkes) being dispersed in all corners and streetes with their naked swordes, slue all that they met withall,* 1.73 hauing no regard of persons or sex,* 1.74 and set fire on the houses burning them and all those that were fled into them,* 1.75 and destroying manie houses whereinto they entred for pillage sake,* 1.76 where finding whole families dead (whome the famine had consumed) they so abhorred the sight thereof that they returned backe againe emptie,* 1.77 running thorowe with their swordes all that they met,* 1.78 and so filling the streetes with dead bodies, that the whole Citty flow∣ed with bloud in such aboundance, that (as Iosephus witnesseth) many things burning, were quenched with the plentifull bloud of the slaine. But night comming on the slaughter began to cease, but the burning in∣creased. The next day following, Titus being ente∣red into the Citty woondered at the fortifications of the Cittie, and at the rockes of the towers, which the Tyrants through follie had willinglie forsaken. To be briefe, when hee had seene their substantiall altitude and inuincible force, we haue fought (saith he) by the manifest helpe of God, and it was God which draue out the Iewes from these holdes. For what hands of men, or what engines of warre might haue preuailed against these? Many such words spake he to his frends. This mountaine though it were excluded out of the

cittie, yet afterward it was builded againe and inhabi∣ted. But now being in the Suburbs most ruinous, it lieth wast.

THE PLACES OF MOVNT SION.

3. THe Castell of Sion

being ancient and strong, was set on the verie toppe of mount Sion, round like a crown, and was a sure defence and beautie both of the Cittie and Temple,* 1.79 and was as the capitall or chiefe place of so great a cittie.* 1.80 Heerein the Iebusites dwelte at the firste: whome Dauid casting out by force,* 1.81 enioyed the castle, and receiuing from Hiram king of Tyrus, stones, wood, and artificers, builded out of the same a strong pallace for himselfe,* 1.82 and a house of Cedar with a kingly throne. In the which castle afterward, Dauid himselfe and other kings of Iuda in∣habited, and vsed the same for the kinges seat. And for this cause it was continually kept with a straight garde of souldiors.* 1.83 And in processe of time it was cal∣led the kings castle,* 1.84 and the house of Dauid, the seate and throne of Dauid,* 1.85 also the Court and kings house. In this castle the most cruell of all tyrantes Antiochus king of Syria,* 1.86 which in Greeke was called 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉,* 1.87 that is to say Renoumed,* 1.88 (but more truly 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, that is Mad, he deserued to be called) placed a garrison of Gentiles: whereby in the time of the Machabes hee afflicted the Iewes very much a long time. The which when Simon Machabaeus had inforced to yeeld thrugh famine, and had cleansed the castle from the pollusi∣on of Idols, they entered therinto with palmes in their

hands with Cimbals, with psalterions, with hymnes and songes: and he placed therein men of the Iewes to defend the Cittie and countrey, yet nowe there is nothing to be seene but the ruines thereof.

4. THE KINGS PRISON

with a lofty Tower,* 1.89 which ouerlooked the kings house.* 1.90 Into this prison Iere∣mie was cast, because hee prophesied that the Cittie should be taken: and at the last was deliuered out of the same by Nabuchadonezer, when the Cittie was taken.

5. CAESARS and AGRIPPAS hall,

* 1.91 was the kings house, which Herod the Ascalonite builded for himselfe in the vppermost cittie: for he builded in his pallace two great and faire houses of polished marble and fine gold, wherevnto the Temple it selfe was not comparable, and calling them after the names of Cae∣sar Augustus, and of Agrippa his sonne in law, his friends, he named the one CAESARS, and the other AGRIPPAS.

6. THE PARLOVR OF SION

was scituate about the middest of mount Sion,* 1.92 being large, paued,* 1.93 and verie faire:* 1.94 wherein Christ in his last supper did eate the paschall Lambe with his disciples,* 1.95 washed their feete, and instituted the sacrament of his most blessed body and bloud.* 1.96 In the fame, on the day of his resur∣rection (when he was entered,* 1.97 the dores being shut) standing in the middest of his disciples, he shewed vn∣to them the wounds of his side, of his hands and feete,

and did eate before them: after that, breathing vpon them,* 1.98 he gaue them the holy ghost, and therewithall power to remit, and reteine the sinnes of all manner persons. The eight day after this, here he offered vn∣to Thomas the Apostle the prints and scarres of the speare and nailes to see and feele.* 1.99 Here, after the Lords ascension,* 1.100 Matthias was by lot chosen into the Apo∣stleship of Iudas the traitour. Here on the day of Pen∣tecost, the holy Ghost came downe in a great sounde, and in the forme of fierie toonges, lighted vppon one hundred and twenty beleeuers: and at the first sermon of Peter, three thousand Iewes were conuerted and baptized. In this place Iames the Lordes brother sir∣named Iust,* 1.101 was by the Apostles created the first Bi∣shop of Ierusalem: and Stephen with six more, were ordained Deacons. Heere the Apostles entered into the first consultation, or councell, and set downe the twelue Articles of Christian faith.

7. THE CYPRES trees of Mount Sion,

* 1.102 which were very excellent, whereof the booke called Ecclesi∣asticus maketh mention.

8. THE HOVSE OF Annas,

* 1.103 the chiefe priest, the father in law of Caiaphas,* 1.104 wherein Christ was ex∣amined of Annas concerning his Disciples and his doctrine, at what time he aunswered that he had taught openly before all men, for the which he receiued a blow on the cheek by a seruant.

9. THE HOVSE OF THE WOORTHIES,

wherin the strong men, and valiant peeres of king Dauid dwelt:* 1.105 where also as in a wrestling place, the cheefe wrestlers and champions, for exercise sake, vsed to try maisteries.

10. THE HOVSE OF THE VIRGIN MARY,

* 1.106 wher∣in after the death of her sonne she dwelt with Iohn the Apostle.

11. THE HOVSE OF VRIA,

* 1.107 one of the most valiant souldiors of Dauid, whose wife Bethsabe, bathing her selfe in a fountaine of her Garden (which also is to be seene in the map) by her beautie allured Dauid to adultery, beholding her from a gallerie of y^e kinges house.

12. THE VPPER MARKET,

* 1.108 by reason whereof, the vpper cittie also, was called sometimes the vpper market.

13. THE STAIRES OF THE CASTLE,

* 1.109 or prison, whereon the Apostle Paule stood, when hee made aunswer for himselfe.

14. THE STAIRES OF SION

,* 1.110 by which men went vppe to the cittie of Dauid.* 1.111

15 THE KINGES GARDEN,

* 1.112 the which also was called the garden of Oza,* 1.113 wherin Manasses and A∣mon kinges of Iuda were buried.

16 MELLO,

a valley or dale, very deepe and wide, which lay betwene mount Sion and the lower citty,* 1.114 and extended it selfe from the water gate to the fish gate.* 1.115 Dauid builded and compassed mount Sion round about from this valley:* 1.116 the concauity and bot∣tome whereof Salomon did make leuell and plaine,* 1.117 that it mighte bee a conuenient streete:* 1.118 and from thence forth it was called the streete of the water gate.* 1.119 He also bewtified the same with buildings,* 1.120 which be∣ing decaied, was repaired by Ezechias. In this place it was that Ioas king of Iuda was slaine by his seruants in the way downe to Sela.* 1.121 But in Iosephus time, this valley was called Tyropoeon,* 1.122 and was very large and full of dwelling houses.* 1.123 At this day this valley is so filled vp with earth and stones, that there remaineth only a small shew of the former concauity & depenes.

17 THE PALLACE OF CAIPHAS;

belonging to euery high prieste, large and square: wherein somtime dwelled Eliasib the cheef priest.* 1.124 In this pal∣lace the princes of the people being gathered toge∣ther,* 1.125 consulted among themselues what pollicy they might vse to catch Iesus,* 1.126 and to kill him:* 1.127 to whome he was there soulde by Iudas for thirty peeces of sil∣uer.* 1.128 Afterwards also he was thrise denyed by Peter: and was by false witnesses of the Iewes, accused before Caiphas in the counsell of the priestes and elders, to

whom when hee answered nothing beeing straightly charged by the high priest, to tell whether hee were Christ the sonne of God, the which when he confes∣sed, hee was conuinced as it were of blasphemy, the cheefe priest calling for the sentence of the counsell, threescore and six elders condemned him to be wor∣thy of death, and aunswering said, He is worthy to die. Wherevpon the seruants and souldiors, did presently spit in his face, they blinde-folded him, buffeted him with their fistes, commaunding him to prophesie, scorned him all the night with sundry mockes, and vexed him with many blasphemies, and that I may speake much in few words, no mortall man in this life is able to expresse, what and how much hee endured this night. And in the morning following, the rulers of the Iewes assembled together in this place againe, to deliuer him vp to death: and leading him bounde, they deliuered him to Pilate the deputie.

18. THE FOVNTAINE OF SION,

the which was made with great labour and cost.

19. THE BRIDGE OF SION,

* 1.129 by which men went through the valley out of the vpper cittie vnto the Temple.

20. THE GATES OF SION,

* 1.130 which the Lord loueth more than all the Tabernacles of Iacob.

21. THE VPPER GATE,

* 1.131 by which Ioas when he was crowned king of Iuda in the Temple, and guarded

with the princes of the Iewes, was led into the pallace of the kings of Iuda.

22. THE SEPVLCHER OF DAVID,

* 1.132 together with the field wherin the kings were buried,* 1.133 the which verie stately was placed aloft in the citty of Dauid:* 1.134 wherein Dauid himselfe,* 1.135 Salomon, and other kings of Iuda, also Ioyada the chiefe priest were buried. Into this monument of Dauids sepulture,* 1.136 Salomon brought great treasure at his burial. The which Hircanus y^e high priest & captain opening, brought from thence 3000. talents of siluer.* 1.137 Not long after this, Herod the Ascalo∣nit king of Iewes,* 1.138 went about also to bring much trea∣sure out from thence,* 1.139 but a flame of fire breaking forth and consuming two of his souldiors, he left off his en∣terprise,* 1.140 and to make satisfaction for himselfe, hee a∣dorned the same monument with faire shining Mar∣ble,* 1.141 which continued there a long time after. Where y^e Saracens afterwarde builded a church for themselues which standeth as yet; which place they greatly reue∣rence, and suffer not any christiā to enter into y^e same.

23. THE SEPVLCHER OF STEPHEN,

* 1.142 the first Martyr; of Nichodemus, and of Gamaliel, Paules schoolemaister.

24. THE TABERNACLE OF SION,

* 1.143 couered with skinnes which king Dauid made,* 1.144 and placed the same in the little hil of Mount Sion which is called Gabaon,* 1.145 and with great reuerence he put the Arke of God therein,* 1.146 and appointed priests and Leuites con∣tinuallie to Minister from day to day by turne, which

remained there twenty and foure yeares,* 1.147 vntill it was carried by Salomon into the temple. In the same, Da∣uid sorrowing for his adultery with Bethsabe, and mur∣der of Vrias, made certeine psalmes of repentance.

25. THE KINGS PRESSES,

* 1.148 wherein the kings wine was pressed.

THE SECOND PART OF THE CITTIE.

26. THE DAVGHTER OF SION,

* 1.149 so called,* 1.150 because it seemed to growe from mount Sion, the which was also called the lower citty, beeyng another part of the cittie, whereof there is often mention made in the holy scriptures and in Iosephus.

THE PLACES OF THE DAVGH∣TER OF SION.

27. THE MOVNTAINE OF ACRA,

* 1.151 was some∣time in the lower cittie verie loftie and steepe, the heighth whereof afterward Simon Machabaeus abated and made plaine by the continuall labour of the peo∣ple, which he imployed heerein by the space of three yeares day and night, that the Temple alone might be higher then all other places of the cittie.

28. THE AMPHITHEATER,

* 1.152 that is a place inuiro∣ned with scaffoldes and stages, capable of foure∣score thousand men, where the people were woont to behold their games, which Herod the elder first of all other builded in the field at Ierusalem with great la∣bour and cost. Wherein, to recreate the beholders, wrastlers and sword players, shewed many feates of actiuitie: and sometimes, Lyons, Leopardes, Bulles, Beares, Bores, Wolues, and other exceeding wilde and fierce beasts, fought one with another, and some∣time condemned men were cast vnto these to bee de∣uoured, and captiues taken in warre. At which time of their games, the place beneath was strowed with sand, to the end that neither the sword players should faile in their footing, nor the fighters might bee defi∣led with the bloud of the slain, nor yet that the sprink∣ling of the bloud shoulde bring horror to the lookers on.

29. THE CASTLE ANTONIA,

* 1.153 strong and wel for∣tified,* 1.154 lying neere to the North side of the Temple, which was builded in time past on a high rocke fiftie cubits high,* 1.155 and very steepe round about, and the to∣wer was called Baris. In this the chiefe priests which came of the Machabees euen till Herods time inhabi∣ted: where in a Cell made for that purpose, the sacred stole of the chiefe priest was kept, the gouernour of the Tower lighting a candle there euery day. Herod the greater hauing gotten the kingdome, and seeing that this castle was conueniently scituat to command the Cittisens; that they might not seeke innouation

through sedition, repaired the same to his greate cost, and fortified it within with a roiall pallace, euen like a cittie, and with fower loftie towers at each corner, whereof three were fiftye cubits hie, and the fourth threescore and ten, from whence the whole temple might be seene: and for the fauour which hee bare to Marcus Antonius his frend, he called it ANTONIA In this castle the Romaine soldiors, kepte alwaies watch with their soldiors, hauing an eie and princi∣pall care least the people should worke any innoua∣tion in the Temple on the feast daies. And so the Temple belonged to the cittie, and the castle Antonia to the temple.

30. THE COVRTE OF RECORDES,

which wee commonly call the courte of Chauncery, or of the Roules: that is to say, a house wherein the act of the cit∣tie, and of the cittizens, and also their publike records, and the accoumpt of creditors were kepte:* 1.156 the which the seditious burned, the keepers thereof flying from thence to the end they might destroy all the euidence of the creditors, and ioyne vnto them all the det∣ters.

31. THE CASTLE OF ANTIOCHVS EPIPHA∣NIS,

* 1.157 both high and strong, the which, after the slaughter of many cittizens,* 1.158 the spoile of the cittye and temple,* 1.159 and the burning of most faire houses, he builded vppon the mountaine Acra, and fortified it with stronge walles and towers, and placed a Garri∣son of Macidonian soldiers there mingling with them certaine of the most raschall fugitiue Iewes, by whom the continual sacrifice was taken away by the space of

three yeares and the citty it selfe vexed more then six and twentie yeares. But after this Simon Machabaeus wan and destroied this castle.

32. THE COMMON PRISON OF THE CITTIE,

* 1.160 wherein the Apostles being shut vppe,* 1.161 by the rulers of the Iewes, were in the night time brought forth by the angell. Iosephus seemeth to cal this prison Betiso.

33 THE CORNER PARLOVR,

* 1.162 belonging to the corner house, where the publike suppers were kept.

34. THE VAVLTED CAVE,

leading from the castle Antonia into the Temple,* 1.163 which Herod the elder made, setting a tower thereon,* 1.164 that by the same hee might passe priuilie into the temple,* 1.165 if so bee the peo∣ple intended to make any insurrection against the K. the which remaineth as yet very wonderfull & large, insomuch that six hundred horses may verie conueni∣ently be placed therein.

35 THE COVRT,

* 1.166 In Hebrew called Gasith. Which in the inner cittie was ioyned to an olde wal there∣of.* 1.167 Wherein were three score and tenne Senatours and ordinary Iudges,* 1.168 which were called of the Iewes Sanhedrim, in Greeke Synedrium, that is to saye in English,* 1.169 The counsell of the Elders, and Seniors of the people.* 1.170 These dealt in the affaires of the com∣mon wealth, gaue Lawes, and determined the doubt∣full and weightie causes, yea euen of other Citties

also, they ended strifes and controuersies, and gaue the sentence of death,* 1.171 generally they dealt in all capi∣tall causes, except onely in the difficulties and miste∣ries of Gods Lawe and of the Iewes Religion, the which the priestes onely determined. In this consi∣storie the Apostles were examined,* 1.172 whipped, and forbidden to preach, and yet went reioysing from the Councell, because they were counted worthy to suf∣fer shame for the name of Iesus.* 1.173 Heere it was that Saint Stephen standing before the Councell, and his countenance shining like an Aungell, lifting vppe his eies, sawe the Heauens open, and the glorie of God, and Iesus standing at the right hande of GOD, from thence hee being cast with violence out of the Citty, was stoned.

36 THE HOVSE OF ANANIAS THE HIGH PRIEST,

* 1.174 which the seditious at y^e length fiered.

37. THE HOVSE OF SAINT ANNE,

* 1.175 the Gran∣dame of Christ,* 1.176 wherein she with Ioacim her hus∣band abode when the feast was at Ierusalem, where they both died.* 1.177 Heere the blessed virgine Mary was conceiued (as some coniecture) and aboad there du∣ring the passion of Christ.

38 THE HOVSE OF THE RICH GLVTTON,

* 1.178 which burneth in hel according to the Euangeli∣call storie.* 1.179 In the which house that he dwelt,* 1.180 it is re∣ported by some antiquities,* 1.181 a high wall whereof is shewed at this day to Christian trauellers.

39. THE HOVSE OF MISSA,

* 1.182 whereof mencion is made in the fourth booke of Kings.

40 THE HOVSE OF THE NATHINAEANS,

* 1.183 which carried wood and water into the Temple.

41. THE HOVSE OF THE PRINCE OF THE PHARISEIES,

* 1.184 in the which Christ touched the man sicke of the dropsie and healed him.

42. THE HOVSE OF THE FORREST OF LY∣BANVS,

* 1.185 in length one hundred cubits,* 1.186 in breadth fiftie,* 1.187 and in heigth thirtie cubits: the which Salomon builded most braue and glorious of polished marble,* 1.188 of Cedar trees, garnished with siluer and gold, hauing a flat roofe with walkes and galleries: (according to the fashion of Palestine) and within liuely counter∣feits of sundry trees and plants most artificially made,* 1.189 that the leaues thereof seemed in some sort to shake. And neere vnto the same hee planted a groue and a greene arbor,* 1.190 made of all manner of trees, and wate∣red with fountaines: also hee made parkes and fishe pooles, wherein it is like were all manner of wilde beastes, birds, and fishes. This house was a storehouse of meate, an armorie for weapons of warre, a house wherein ointments, paintings, and sweete perfumes were laied vppe and preserued. Beside these, two hun∣dred shields of golde for horssemen, and three hun∣dred large targets of golde for footemen which Sa∣lomon

made, were in this house by him laide vppe. Al other vessels also of this house, were of gold. To this house the king and his peeres came when the weigh∣tie affaires of the Common wealth were ended, and recreated their mindes, with banquets, with plaies, and with pleasant walkes.

43 THE HOVSE OF SIMON THE PHARISIE

which is at this day to bee seene:* 1.191 wherein Christ sitting at the Table, forgaue vnto Mary Magdalen the sinfull woman (bewailing her sinnes, and washing his feet with her teares, wiping them with her haire, kissing them, annointing him, and much louing him) many sinnes.

44 THE HOVSE OF THE COMMON PEOPTE

wherein they exercised themselues with dartinges & other exercises of the arme,* 1.192 and with feastes, with plaies and walkes refreshed their mindes.

45 THE GREAT MARKET,

* 1.193 which was in the midst of the cittie, and neere adioyning to the Castle Antonia,* 1.194 wherein Alexander the king of the Iewes, and the chiefe priest, crucified eight hundred Iewes, killing also the Wiues in the presence of their hus∣bands, and the children in the sight of their mothers: the which spectacle himselfe with his Concubines beheld, at what time they were banqueting in the ca∣stle Antonia. For the which crueltie he was sirnamed Crucida. In the same market place, Herod the greater, fought a great battell with the Parthians, which went

about to bring againe Antigonus into the kingdom.* 1.195 Furthermore when the famine through the Romane siege was exceeding great in Ierusalem, in such wife that it consumed whole families, and replenished the toppes of houses with fainting women and children, and the waies with the dead carcases of olde men (in which extremitie they did eate leather, their girdles, their shooes, hay, and mothers, their owne children) then a man might haue seene lusty yoong men which afore time were most flourishing, passe through this market place, like shadowes of dead men. And when those which remained aliue, were not able to burie the dead, by reason of theyr exceeding multitude, and could not endure the stinke of the bodies vnburied, they cast them ouer the wall into the vallies of the cit∣tie. The which when Titus sawe as hee went about the wals, full of dead bodies much putrified, he fetcht a great sigh, and houlding vppe his handes to GOD, protested that it was not his deed, for the obstinate Iewes refused peace, to them often times offered.

46. THE MARKET OF WARES,

the which was in the vpper part of the lower cittie,* 1.196 in the which,* 1.197 fish and sundry other things were folde. In this market S. Iames the greater,* 1.198 the brother of Iohn, suffered his martyrdome by the tyranny of Herod Agrippa.

47. THE VPHOLSTERS MARKET,

* 1.199 wherein all ma∣ner of olde garments that had beene worne afore∣time of others, were to be sold.

48. THE SCHOLE OF GENTILLITIE,

* 1.200 which Ie∣sus, the false high priest of the Iewes (who after the manner of the Gentiles would be called Iason) and o∣ther Iewes apostatas,* 1.201 by the permission of Antiochus Epiphan, set vp euen vnder his castle oueragainst the temple: wherein the people were taught the lawes and fashions of the Gentils, & the youth instructed in the studies and disputations of the Greeke philoso∣phers. Where they being naked and annoynted with oile, exercised themselues in feates of actiuity, in mar∣tiall actions, and in enterludes. Furthermore in the same place, the sayde Apostatas set vp EBHEBIAM, that is to say a Stewes of faire young boyes, wherein they committed most filthie thinges against nature, By reason thereof many fell from the lawe of God, to the manners and abhominations of the Gentiles, be∣ing as it were sould to commit monstrous wickednes: insomuch that some of the priests forsaking the tem∣ple and worship of God, gaue themselues to the ex∣ercise of feats of actiuity: here hence also there sprang vp among the Iewes diuers sects, namely the Phari∣sies, the Saduceis, the Esseies &c.

49 THE HOVSES OF THE PRIESTES,

* 1.202 and of the Leuites whose houses were shut vp by the out∣ward parte of the wall: but from the former parte they had a prospect toward the temple.

50 THE HABITATION OF THE TARGET BEARERS,

* 1.203 was builded before the west gate of the

temple:* 1.204 where first the Iewes,* 1.205 then the Romaine sol∣diors, vpon the solemne feast days had the stations for the guarde of the temple.

51 THE LYSTES,

* 1.206 OR TYLT, which was placed oueragainst the South parte of the Temple, where∣in horsses, by running, agillitie, and swiftnesse were exercised. And the wrastlers and champions did con∣tend before the people, who should rnnne swiftest on foot, with chariots diuersly drawne, who shoulde breake most speares, and in other masteries, and feares of valiencie. Where Herod the kinge for the honour of Augustus Caesar ordeined the game and prise, of fiue yeares continuance; appointing vnto the victors greate rewards. the same Herod when he should die, called all the more noble sorte of the Iewes of al places within his dominion, by an Edict threatning death to such as should not obey, and caused them to be shut vp in the Lystes, to the ende that after his death they all being there slaine, euery house might haue cause to waile euen in despight of all Iudaea.

52. THE MOVNTAINE MORIA,

the which in another place is called the lande of vision,* 1.207 and the mountaine of the temple,* 1.208 and the mountaine of the daughter of Sion,* 1.209 lying neere vnto the easte wall of the cittie,* 1.210 being very high, stoany, and very steepe rounde about.* 1.211 In this mountaine Abraham being ready to offer vp his sonne Isaac, in steede of him offe∣red vp a Ramme which was taken, by the hornes in a thicket. This was the very same mountaine which Dauid bought of Streuna or Ornan the Iebusite for six hundred sicles of goulde: and erecting an alter in his

threshing flower, he offered a burnt offering vnto the Lorde,* 1.212 which the fire from heauen consumed. After∣ward in the same mountaine Salomon builded vnto the Lorde a moste excellent Temple both for large∣nesse and bewtie; whereof mention shalbe made here∣after.

53. THE FIRST WALL,

* 1.213 the which was called the olde wall, both in regard of the valleis, and a hill which was alofte aboue them, and also in regarde of threescore towers whereinto it was deuided, the which made it very defensible and strong.

54. OPHEL,

* 1.214 which Iosephus calleth Ophlam, was a tow∣er of an exceeding height, whose top seemed to rech vnto the cloudes; it was fortified with a castle, and compassed about with a firme wal, neere vnto the Temple, notwithstanding it was without the wall, which shut off the habitation of the priests. Here∣in dwelte the Nathenims. Into this Manahemus the tyrant flying, was taken and slaine. This same was at the last burned by the soldiors of Titus.

55. THE PALLACE OF THE MACHABEES,

builded by them on a very loftie place on the weste side of the Temple,* 1.215 from whence they which would behoulde the cittye and those things which were don therein,* 1.216 had a most pleasant and delectable prospect. The which kinge Agrippa afterward excedingly enlarged and made it a Courte for himselfe: from

whence out of his parlour hee might behold whatso∣euer was donne in the temple. For the which cause the rulers of the Iewes builded a very high gate betwene that and the weste part of the inner Temple, to hinder the kings prospect. This thing both kinge Agrippa, and Festus also the Lieutenant of the country tooke in very euill parte, who also commanded them to pull downe the sayde gate. But the rulers intreated, that they might haue leaue to send ambassadors to Nero the emperour concerning this matter, saying that they could not liue if any thinge were casted downe of the buildings of the temple. The which liberty when they had obtained; they sent Ismaell the cheefe priest, and Helchia the treasurer, and with them ten of their chiefe rulers. And Nero at the earnest sute of Poppea his wife, a godly woman, which shee made for the Iewes, pardoned the building of the saide gate, and permitted the same so to stand.

56. THE PALLACE OF PILATE,

* 1.217 and of the Lieutenants of Rome, adioyning to the Gallerie, which lieth on the North side of the castle Anto∣nia:* 1.218 which pallace,* 1.219 was much more large, loftie, and fayrer,* 1.220 then all the buildinges of the cittye, and had an ascend or mounting,* 1.221 of twenty and eight steps of Marble.* 1.222

Here when Christe was falsely accused, and re∣quired to bee crucified, by the princes and people of the Iewes, for (that as they sayde) hee peruerted the people, forbad tribute to be giuen to Caesar, sayde that he was Christ a King, and therfore approued him selfe a seditious person, Pilate condemned him to be whipped vnder the forme of this sentence▪ which was

found in a most ancient chronicle,* 1.223 as followeth, Iesum Nazarenum virum sediciosum, et Mosaicae legis con∣temptorem, per pontifices et principes suae gentis accusa∣tum, expoliate, ligate, et virgis caedite. That is to saye, Take ye Iesus of Nazareth accused by the chiefe priestes and rulers of his owne Nation to bee a man sedicious, and a contemner of Moses Lawe, strip him, binde him, and whyp him. Whereupon the soldiors of Pilate led him into the Iudgement haule, stript him before the whole band of soldiors and other people, tied him to a piller, beate him most cruelly with roddes, and rent and tare his most tender body. After this, they put on him a purple robe, platted and in forcible manner, broided on his head a crowne of sharpe thornes, de∣liuered into his right hand a reede, and in scorne salu∣ted him as a kinge bending the knee before him, ma∣ny waies mocked him, they did spit on him, they did buffet him, and strike him vpon the wounded heade with a reede.

57 THE QVEENES PALLACE,

* 1.224 which Salomon most royally builded of precious and polished stones,* 1.225 for the habitation of his wife which was Pharaos daughter.

58 SALOMONS PALLACE,

* 1.226 exceeding greate and fayre, the which hee builded in thirtene yeares magnificently and moste sumptuously on the south parte of the mount Moria, of bright marble, and ce∣dar trees, supported with many pillers, for his owne habitation: this he wonderfully garnished with gold and siluer round about, and made all the vessels there∣of of gold. In the same place afterward, the Christian

kings of Ierusalem had their pallace, where first began the order of the Templers.

59 THE CASTLE PISAN,

* 1.227 compassed about with deep trenches, & towers; the which was builded on the west part of the cittie, by the Christian inhabi∣tants of a towne in Italie belonging to the Pisans, at what time they had the dominion of the holy lande. Where first the Pisans, after them the Saracens, and now the Turkes, do exact of the pilgrims of the holy land sacrilegious tribute.

60 THE INNER FOVNTAINE,

* 1.228 which king Eze∣chias made in the midst of the cittie at the North side of the temple.* 1.229 For he brought into the cittie the waters of this fountaine,* 1.230 from the higher fountaine of Gition, by conduct pipes which were vnder the earth, and made them to issue forth in this fountaine. This fountaine he compassed about with a wel to water the whole cittie, that the people in time of siege might not be distressed with the want of water.

61 THE POOLE PROBATICA,

* 1.231 that is to say y^e sheep poole, wherein the sheepe and other beastes were washed that were appointed for sacrifice. In Hebrue it is called Bethesda, (and corruptly Bethsaida) that is to say, the house of effusion because the raine waters ran into the same. It was situate betwene the gate of the valley and the temple.* 1.232 It was the largest and most principall poole or water of the whole cittie, hauing fiue porches, which king Salomon made for the ser∣uice

of the Temple. And this Iosephus calleth Salo∣mons lake or Poole. For in this poole the Nathe∣nims washed the oblations which they deliuered vnto the priests to be offered in the Temple. The Water heereof was moued at certeine times by the Aungell of the Lord, and who so after the stirring therof went first into the water, he was healed, whatsoeuer disease he had. And therefore there lay a great multitude of languishing people in the porches thereof, as blinde, lame, withered, waiting for the mouing of the water. Among which number Christ healed a man which had languished thirty and eight yeares.

62 THE OLD FOVNTAINE,

* 1.233 together with a Ri∣uer,* 1.234 which issuing out of the same runneth through the whole Cittie into the brooke Cedron.

63 THE BRIDGE,

* 1.235 and portch with gates, by which men went from the gallerie,* 1.236 and from the Castle Antonia, ouer the valley of Cedron into the Temple, the which at the first the fauorites of Aristobolus a∣gainst Pompei,* 1.237 and afterward the seditious against Flo∣rus,* 1.238 cut off, least by the meanes of the Castle Anto∣nia, the Temple should be gotten.

64 THE WARDERS GATE,

* 1.239 so called, because cer∣teine of the kings guard warded there, at such time as the king entered into the Temple.

65 THE HORSE GATE,

* 1.240 so named, because men might ride so farre as that place: but then leauing their horses, they went on foote into the temple. At the which place began the habitations of the priests.

66. THE GATE OF THE ESSENS,

* 1.241 was scituate in the olde wall of the Citty.

67. THE FIRST GATE,

* 1.242 whereof the Prophet Zacha∣rie maketh mention.

68. THE PORCH OF PILLERS,

* 1.243 scituate before Sa∣lomons pallace, the which was fiftie cubites long, and thirty cubites broad, and supported with strong pillers.

69. THE BEAST MARKET,

* 1.244 called Probatica, where sheepe, oxen, and other beastes for sacrifice were sold in the open market.

70 THE PALLACE OF QVEENE BERNICE,

* 1.245 si∣ster of king Agrippa,* 1.246 who with her brother at Cae∣saria heard Paules supplication before Festus. And af∣terwards paying her vowes to God at Ierusalem, shee came bare foot before Florus sitting in his iudgement seat tyranizing against the cittisens, whom she besee∣ched in vaine as concerning them.

71. THE PALLACE OF GRAPTA,

* 1.247 the neece of Izata kinge of the Adiabens, which she built for her selfe. Wherein afterward, Ihon the Captaine of the seditious abiding, lefte there his mony and spoiles of tyranny.

72. THE PALLACE OF HELEN,

* 1.248 which exalted it selfe in the middest of the mountaine Acra. She being the Queene of the Adiabens which dwelt be∣yond Euphrates, was conuerted from Gentilisme, to the religion of the Iewes,* 1.249 and came to Ierusalem, to dwell. Where she being become a Christian, at what time that greate famine, (whereof Agabus prophesi∣ed) in the dayes of the emperour Claudius, pinched the whole world, but specially the land of Iudaea, this good Queene (I say) at her proper costs and charge sent for great store of corne out of Egypt which shee distributed among the poore and needy at Ierusalem.

73. THE PALLACE OF MONOBAZ,

* 1.250 kinge of A∣diabens, the sonne of Helen, which was situat in the easte parte of the cittie.

74. THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD,

* 1.251 otherwise called, the Lordes house and the sanctuary. The which Salomon the peaceable kinge builded of the matter prepared by Dauid his father, and of electe, hewen, and pollished stones, and of timber cut from mount Libanus, by the labour of more then a hun∣dred

fitie three thousand men in the mont Moria, without any sound of axe or hammer, in seuen yeares, so sumptuous and magnificent both within and with∣out with shining gould, that it was counted the mira∣cle of the world. Concerning the wonderfull excel∣lencie whereof nothing can bee sufficiently spoken. When Salomon dedicated this Temple, the cloude and glory of the Lord filled it, & the fire which came from heauen consumed the sacrifices which were of∣fered therein. As concerning the enterance of this temple, the same was contrary to the fashion now v∣sed, being East-ward, and the backe part tended west; whereuppon the priests, and people praied turning to the west, and worshipped God herein with greate reuerence, vntill through the Impietie of the kinges and people of the Iewes,* 1.252 it was prophaned with the pollusions of Idols often times.* 1.253 Therefore foure hun∣dred fortie and one yeares after the firste foundation thereof, by the iust iudgement of God, Nabuchodo∣nozer kinge of Babilon burnt the same, and so destroi∣ed it,* 1.254 that it lay desolate threescore and tenne yeares. But after that,* 1.255 Zorobabell repaired the temple againe in excellent sorte with squared stones,* 1.256 and the beste timber in the same mountaine, within the space of forty and six yeares.* 1.257 And this also was of so great esti∣mation that it was honoured throughout the whole world, and was from all partes enriched and bewtified with the greatest gifts and honors of kings and prin∣ces. The which after three hundred, fiftie, and fower yeares, was spoiled by Antiochus Epiphan king of Sy∣ria, and polluted with Idols. In the third yeare of the contamination thereof, the most valiant Captaine of the Iewes Iudas Machaboeus, purged it, and restored to the same againe, the goulden vessels, and the wor∣ship of God. And that it might neuer more be defiled,

he did waule it about in manner of a castle with deepe trenches,* 1.258 with strong and high walles, and with gates and towers both forceable and faire.

Wherein hee being beseeged a long time with one hundred and twentie thousand Gentils, coulde not be commaunded.

But aboute one hundred yeare after this when that famous Captaine of the Romaines Pompei the greate foughte against it,* 1.259 hee wanne it with maine force,* 1.260 and in the entering thereof hee slue therein twelue thousande Iewes; and Pompei himselfe with his peeres entring into the moste holye place, and behoulding the Table, the Candlesticke, and other thinges there, of shining goulde, and finding also two thousand talents of the holy treasure, this hea∣then Prince mooued as it were with a certayne god∣linesse, woulde not so muche as touch any of them but the nexte daye after the siege commuanded the keepers of the temple to clense the same, and to ce∣lebreate their lawfull and solemne sacrifices. This selfe and same temple being afterwardes decayed, Herod the Ascalonit kinge of the Iewes, by the space of nyne yeares and a halfe, repaired and bewtified it, with sumptuous buildings.

And according to the prophesie of the prophet Aggei (euen as the Church is preferred before a Sinagogue,* 1.261 and the bloud of the gospell is more pre∣cious then the golde of the lawe) greater was the glo∣ry of this second temple,* 1.262 then was that of the firste: because Christe,* 1.263 with his presence, doctrine and miracles,* 1.264 glorified this. For in this, when hee was a childe hee was offered. In this hee sate in the middest of the doctors; In the pinacle of this Tem∣ple hee was tempted of the Diuel, when he fasted for∣tie

dayes and forty nights. In this likewise he prea∣ched often times, and was vexed by the Iewes. All which thinges, as they make muche for the glory of the temple, so they did nothing auayle, but that the very same Temple, in the yeare from the foun∣dation thereof vnder Zorobabell fiue hundred eigh∣tie and sixe, by the armye of Titus Caesar, after a doubtful and bloudie battaile,* 1.265 was wonne with great force and violence, and so greate a slaughter of Iewes made aboute the alter for burnt offerings, that the bloude of the slayne ranne like a riuer by the stayres of the Temple: and the Temple it selfe in the firste brunte and furie of the battaile was sette on fiere, by a certayne soldior, moued by diuine motion, not attending to the commaund of any, euen without the Emperours consent: And by this burning, a worke of al that euer was seene or heard of, the most wonderfull, and the ornament of the whole worlde, the tenth daye of the moneth of August,* 1.266 was consu∣med into ashes: to witte, euen the very same day and moneth, whereon aforetime the temple was burnt by the Babilonians.* 1.267

Yet for all this after threescore and fiue yeares, the Iewes rebelling agayne, and going aboute to restore the Temple in the same place where it was afore, AElius Adrian the Emperour, slue of them in one daye fiue hundred and foure score thou∣sande, and vtterly rased the reste of the buildinges of Ierusalem, and leueled the mountaine Moria whereon the Temple was builded, and made it euen, casting the rubbish and earthe thereof into the vale Iosaphat, and into the brooke Cedron, lefte the citty trusting to the defence of the moun∣taine and Temple, shoulde rise vppe and rebell any

more against the Romaines. He wasted also with fire and sword nine hundred and foure score villages. But the emperour Iulian the Apostata, after two hundred and twenty seuen yeares, to make the oracle of Christ false,* 1.268 which he had prophesied concerning the tem∣ple that there should not bee lefte one stone vppon another,* 1.269 gaue vnto the Iewes money out of the com∣mon treasurie, and commanded them to build a new the temple and to sacrifice there according to the law of Moses.* 1.270

The Iewes glad of this, came from all partes of the world to Ierusalem,* 1.271 and threatning greuous things a∣gainst the Christians,* 1.272 they prepared & got vnto them skilfull workemen, stones, timber, morter, and all other things necessary for the building: also they cau∣sed to be made siluer mattockes, spades, and baskets: and throughly purged the place where the Temple stoode, with such speede and willingnesse, that their women also bestowed all their ouches, taches, bru∣ches, and other Iewells, for the building, and caried out from that place all the rubbish in their laps. And when the foundations were opened and clensed, the day following they should haue begun their founda∣tion, but the same night there came such an excee∣ding and vehement tempest, that it caried away and scattered abroade their stone, timber, and morter, with other their necessaries. Ouer and besides this, a greate earthquake, shooke all the stones of the olde foundations of the temple and dispersed them, disor∣dered the houses nexte adioyning to the temple by a downefall, and killed many Iewes.

And when they which remained, in the morning enterprised againe to build; a fier falling from heauen, a flame also breaking foorth from the foundations of the temple, destroyed more Iewes then before, which

either were busy about the worke, or which came thi∣ther to see and looke on: and all that daye burnt and consumed into ashes, their maules, hammers, axes, spades, and all other working tooles, that nothing was left. The Iewes being yet obstinately bent, the next night following, a bright signe of the crosse ap∣peared in heauen, and the garments of all the Iewes were marked as it were from heauen with figures of the crosse, and replenished therewith as the firma∣ment with starres; which when the day appeared they seeking to put out, could not by any manner of means do it. And thus being astonished and confounded, they lefte off both their vaine enterprise and also the place. So that by their wicked endeuour, the diuine oracle, was not only not made frustrate, but also more fulfilled and confirmed.

The Iewes being in this sorte beaten from their en∣terprise, the Christians neuerthelesse were not afeard to build in the same place. For they erected a temple there in a round forme, made of greate hewen, and pollished stones, couered with a leaden roofe, very large high and bewtifull to behold. The which in processe of time, was honored with the Patriarchall seate, and became famous by reason of the true and pure worship of God which was therein maintayned.* 1.273 At the length being inuaded by the Saracens, it was contaminated foure hundred threescore and three yeares, with the filthy worship of Mahomet. Finally in the yeare of Christ,* 1.274 1099. the very same temple,* 1.275 though it was fortified with a wall, with towers, and with strong gates by the Christians, yet was it violent∣ly wonne by Godfrey of Bullion, a valeant man; who kil∣led within the circuit of the temple, ten thousand Sa∣racens, in such wise that the vpper face of the earth was couered with the bloud of the slayne. In the

which place the saide Godfrey erected a Colledge of diuine seruice, giuing continuall maintenaunc to the same, furnishing it with necessary habitations, which so continued by the space of foure score and eighte yeares. The which expired, the same was possessed againe by the Saracens, through the pernicious dis∣corde of Christian princes: who in the toppe there∣of, (according to their manner) sette vp the figure of the halfe moone: and in the courts thereof they plan∣ted figges, and oliue trees. The same being nowe possessed of the Turkes, is defiled with the detestable worship of Mahomet. And all Christians are com∣manded by an Edict, not to enter thereinto, vppon paine of death. For if any Christian bee knowne to haue entered therein, hee is by and by either com∣pelled solemnely to deny the faith of Christe, or else publiquely to lose his head.

THE FIRST PARTE OF THE TEMPLE.

75. THE HOLY OF HOLYEST,

* 1.276 the which is so called bicause of the singuler holinesse of the place.* 1.277 It is also named the Oracle,* 1.278 and the Inner house.* 1.279 For it was the se∣cretest part of the temple,* 1.280 wherein∣to fewe did come: being twentie cubits longe, and as many in bredth; the heighte whereof was one hundred and twenty cubits. Whose

floore was paued with marble,* 1.281 and layde ouer with firre boardes,* 1.282 couered with plate of golde. The gates were made of polished stones inwardely framed with boordes of cedar, and couered with golden plates: the which being fastened with nailes of golde shined most gloriously, as if it had beene a diuine worke. Where∣on were grauen Cherubims, pretious stones, palmes, flowers, Imbosements, and pictures of diuerse sortes, representing the celestiall bewty. The roofe also was couered with golden plate, the very top whereof was sette full of goulden prickets, or sharpe spittes to fraie away birdes, leste by sitting thereon, it mighte bee polluted. Into this sacred holy of holyest, the chiefe Prieste, for the diuine maiesty thereof, entred but once euery yeare alone,* 1.283 in the feast of purgation: on which daye the Iewes did fast and afflict themselues. And then that greate and chief priest of God, prefi∣guring the person of Christe, offered the bloude of a calfe burnte without the hoast, for his owne sinnes, and for the sinnes of the people. Who if he weare but somuch as in sleepe polluted, entred not in in his own person, but by his substituted vicar.

THE PARTES OF THE MOST HOLY PLACEs.

76. THE ARKE OF THE COVENANT,

* 1.284 the which by the commaundement of God was made of Se∣thim wood,* 1.285 which corrupteth not,* 1.286 by Moses in the deserte, couered within and without with plate of pure goulde, being sette in the middest of the holy of

holiest,* 1.287 shining like the sun with the glittering bright∣nesse of golde.* 1.288 Whose surpassing bewtie is rather to be wondred at, then with words to be expressed. In this Arke the two tables of stone, containing the ten commaundements written with the finger of God, were kept with a singular care and holinesse: also the Pot wherein was Manna: and Aarons florishing rod, and the booke of Deuteronomy. The Arke abode in this place about foure hundred and thirty yeares.* 1.289 It is written in the book of the Machabees, y^t in the time of the captiuity of Babilon, the Prophet Ieremy by the commandement of God, hid the same priuily together with the Alter of Incense, and the perpetuall fier, in a caue of the mount Nebo.* 1.290

But the Hebrues coniecture,* 1.291 that it was caried by Nabuchodonozer into Babilon:* 1.292 & that it was neuer re∣turned againe,* 1.293 but another made by the Iewes in steade thereof after the returne from the captiuitie.* 1.294 Other some thinke that Nabuchodonozer carried away the same with fiue thousand and foure hundred ves∣sels of siluer and golde,* 1.295 which belonged to the temple of Ierusalem,* 1.296 and put them into the temple of Bell his god,* 1.297 but preserued by Gods prouidence (as it was sometime in Philistaea) after threescore and ten yeares of the captiuitie, they thinke (I say) that it was resto∣red againe to the Iewes, at their returne by Cyrus, together with the said vessels. But after the beseeging of Ierusalem Titus and Vespasian, cariyng out of the temple to Rome, the Arke of the couenant, the two tables of the Lawe, with both the rods of Moses and Aaron: also the goulden table, and some of the shew bread: the goulden Candlestick also, and the foure pil∣lers; made these to be caried among other spoiles, by the Iewes themselues round about the cittie in an o∣pen triumph, wherein with greate pompe they trium∣phed

ouer that nation: Simon Giora Captaine of the seditious, and seuen hundred Iewes captiues (which were selected from among the rest for youth and com¦lynesse) going before the triumpher halfe naked, with their hands bound. This triumph being ended Vespa∣sian, layed vp all the vessels of Ierusalem, in the Tem∣ple of Peace at Rome, which hee in moste sumptuous manner had builded: But the lawe of the Iewes, and the purple vailes of the most secret places, he com∣manded to be safely layde vp in his pallace.

77. THE TWO CHERVBIMS,

* 1.298 of glory, the which, as it appeareth by the Hebrue text of Paralippome∣non,* 1.299 are like vnto young boyes,* 1.300 made of the wood of the oliue tree,* 1.301 ten cubits high, and couered with plates of gold, and shining with angelicall brightnesse, stood at each ende of the Arke with wings spred, one cou∣ple couering the propitiatorie, and with the other couple touching the gate on both sides: Whose fa∣ces were directed toward the vttermost house: and looking one towardes the other, they behelde both themselues, and also the propitiatorie.

78. THE PROPITIATORIE,

otherwise also called the oracle, the which being aboue the Arke, betwene the wings of the two Cherubims, and shining with most pure golde in brightnesse aboue the sunne, re∣presenting the diuine maiesty, was as it were the seate of God speaking: from whence he gaue oracles and answeres.

THE SECOND PARTE OF THE TEMPLE.

79. THE HOLIE PLACE,

* 1.302 so cal∣led for the dignitie of the place.* 1.303 It was also called the Sanctuary,* 1.304 the outwarde house of the Lorde,* 1.305 and the priests Courte.* 1.306 This is the o∣ther parte of the Temple, fortye cubits longe,* 1.307 and twenty broade, in highte one hundred and twenty cubits.* 1.308 The doores hereof were of golde.* 1.309 The floore made of firre boards was couered with plate of goulde.* 1.310 The gates were made of polished stones, and beeing within lined with boardes of Caedar, were couered outwardely with plates of goulde. Whereon was grauen Cherubims pretious stones, palmes, flowers, and sundry carued workes and pictures, which wonderfullie delighted men to behold. Aboue it was couered with a fayre roofe, shining as if it had beene fier.

From the enterance hereinto, such as were not cleane, were forbidden by the Lawe. Only the priests, which Kinge Dauid reckened to the number of thirty eight thousand, and distinguished them by Lot into foure and twenty orders, entered dayly thereinto.

All which beeing without vice, according to Dauids ordinance, wekely by turne, from Saboth to Saboth abstayning from their wiues, from wine and from all other stronge drincke, their priuities coue∣red with linnen breeches, outwardely cloathed and

girded with a linnen garment, wearing a silke myter on their heade, in a wonderfull order, and with the greatest reuerence that coulde bee, they worship∣ped God, they offered sacrifices and made their prai∣ers.

80. THE ALTER OF INCENSE,

* 1.311 of gould,* 1.312 which by Gods commaundement was placed ouer a∣gainste the vaile hanging before the most holy place,* 1.313 called the holye of holyest: Whereon the Priestes,* 1.314 euery daye morning and euening offered vnto God for a sweete sauour, Frankenscence and sweete per∣fumes. The angell Gabriell standing sometime at the righte hande of this alter, toulde vnto Zachary, as hee was offering Incense, the conception of Iohn Baptist.

81. THE GOVLDEN CANDELSTICKE,

the which hauing seuen branches,* 1.315 and so many Can∣dles, was placed on the South side of the Temple: the which being lamps of most pure oile,* 1.316 burned con∣tinually, and gaue light as well by day as by night,* 1.317 to all the holy place.

82. THE FOVNTAYN,

* 1.318 of water which issued forth on y^e right side of the temple the water wherof Salomō deriued into the sea of bras,* 1.319 and into the copper Lauer:* 1.320 the which being carried from thence by Conduit pipes vnder the earth breking forth halfe a mile from

the east side of the citrie ranne into the brooke Ce∣dron.

83. THE GOVLDEN TABLE,

* 1.321 the which stood on the North side of the temple,* 1.322 whereon were sette twelue loaues made of the most pure and fine flower of wheate.* 1.323 The which being stale,* 1.324 remayned to the vse of the priests,* 1.325 and then new were supplyed againe euery Saboth day, vppon the which were layde two golden cups full of Frankensence.

84. THE CHEFE PRIESTE

his Image,* 1.326 and holy ap∣parell,* 1.327 euery parte whereof shewe forth vnto vs, a diuine and heauenly magnificence. For when he went to offer sacrifice, or to enter into the most holy place he put on not only the vnder garments spoken of be∣fore vnder the nūber seuenty nyne, but also aboue vp¦pon them a Tunicle of Iacinct with sleues downe to the ankells, at the lower hem wherof there did hang threescore and two golden bells, and in another bor∣der as many pomegranats. The Tunicle was girt with a girdle foure fingers broad, wouen with silke, gould, precious stones, and flowers of sundry colours. A∣loft aboue this, he did wear an Ephod or Superhumeral, that is to say, a most faire cloake, made of golde, of Ia∣cinct, of purple, scarlet and of fine silke most curiously wouen together, dazling of the eies by reason of y^e vari¦ety & glittering brightnes of the colours and flowers. Vpon each shoulder whereof there were seueral Onix stones included in golde, which Iosephus calleth Sardo∣nichs: in either of which stones six names of the chil∣dren of Israell were grauen.

Beside these, he had the Reasonable of Iudgement,

which he caried vpon his brest, wherein was doctrine and truth. The Reasonable was a square thing about the bredth of a mans hand, wouen and made of golde, lacinct, purple, scarlet, and fine silke, whereto were fastened twelue precious stones of diuerse sortes, ha∣uing ingrauen in them the names of the twelue sons of Israell, according to the order of their natiuitie. Moreouer on his head he ware a long rounde cap, in forme of a Miter, made of Iacinct and fine silke; vpon the front wherof was set a brooch of gold in forme of a halfe gloabe, which figured the ineffectable name of God, Tetragrammaton, with these foure Hebrue let∣ters 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 theron ingrauē, setting forth by the won∣derfull brightnesse thereof the excellencie of the di∣uine maiestie: Also the golden Censer in his hand: by which he offered vnto God the most fragrant odor of Frankensence, is a parte of his ornaments.

Al which things as they are ful of misteries, so some of them excelled the rest in diuine power. For that stone which the high prieste did beare on his righte shoulder, so often as he had pleased God with sacrifi∣ces, did so wonderfully shine, that they which stoode a greate way off might perceiue it. And (which is no lesse wonderfull) the twelue stones which were on the Reasonable, did foreshewe vnto them which went to the warre, victorie.

For before the army should moue it selfe, there came so great a brightnesse from them, that it gaue al the people to vnderstand that God was present, and that he would helpe all those that call vpon him. But now God being angry with the wickednesse of his kings, both the Reasonable and the Onix also haue cea∣sed one hundred and fiue yeares before the natiuity of Christ to giue their wonted shine and brightnesse.

85 THE VAILE,

* 1.328 was wouen of Iacinct, purple, scarlet and fine silcke in most bewtifull varietie; and was a∣dorned with Cherubims and al manner of flowers im∣broydered thereon,* 1.329 which hong at the gate before the most holy place,* 1.330 and at the death of Christ was rente from the top to the bottome euen in the midst,

THE THIRD PARTE OF THE TEMPLE.

86 THE IEWES ILE

. The which also is called the En∣tery,* 1.331 the Haule,* 1.332 the Holy Secular, & Salomons Porch, being the thirde parte of the temple.* 1.333 Into the which men wente vp by foure steppes.* 1.334 Whose pauement checkered with marble of sundry sortes,* 1.335 was open to the aier, and vncouered, and was compassed aboute with a wall made with three degrees of stones of sūdry colours. To the which were annexed greate porches, broade, and aboue threescore and tenne cubits high, born vp with marble pillers of single stones which wer twenty fiue cubits high, the roofe couered with Ce∣dar. The inset gates couered with golde, shined most gloriously. And it had three high gates: whereof the first tended toward the easte, the second towarde the South, and the third toward the North: euery of the which gates were shut with two siluer doores thirtie cubits high, & fiftene broad: but the weste part had no gate but was inclosed with a whole wall. And this was called the Iewes Ile or Haule because only the Iewes

being cleane and chaste made their praiers there,* 1.336 and heard the words of the law.* 1.337 In the which place,* 1.338 Christ taught the people often times:* 1.339 and where the Iewes would haue stoned him: and Peter when he had hea∣led the lame man spake vnto the people: and conuer∣ted fiue thousand men. Before this Haule inclosed with alattice, there was a Table sette, containing this lawe ingrauen with letters of Greeke and Latine, E∣uery stranger that shall enter into the holy place shall dye. And the Romaines had giuen authority to the Iewes to put to death as wel Romaines as Iewes, which trans∣gressed this law.

THE PARTES OF THE IEWES ILE.

87 THE ALTER OF BVRNT OFFERINGE OF BRASSE,

* 1.340 the which stoode in the midst of the Ile open to the aier and vncouered.* 1.341 Wherein that perpe∣tuall fier was dayely maintained by the putting to of wood which fier in old time,* 1.342 the Lord sente downe from heauen, when Aaron at the firste time offered sa∣crifice in the desert. On the which altar, the priests eue¦ry day morning and euening, burnte sundry sortes of Male beastes which were cleane and without ble∣mish, as Sheepe, Oxen, and Goates, turtels, Pigeons, and such like, which were consumed with this holye and perpetuall fier, for a burnte offering and Odor of sweete fauour vnto the Lorde. But in the time of the Captiuity of BABILON, this perpetuall fier was hidden by the Priestes in a drye pitte or well

and being sought for by Neemia the priest,* 1.343 threescore and ten yeares after the same, there could be no fier found in that place, but a certaine thicke water which by diuine power, at the praier of Neemia was sette on fier.

88 BOOZ and IACHIN,

* 1.344 two pillers of brasse of won∣derfull beawty, thirtie two cubits high, whose cir∣cumference or circuit comprehended twelue cubits, which Salomon caused to be made artificially, and pla∣ced them in the porch of the temple, one at the right hand, which hee named Iachin, and the other at the left hand which he called Booz.

89. THE LAVER OF BRASSE,

* 1.345 a vessell of greate ca∣pascitie, full of water, placed by Salomon on the North side of the temple, whereon were carued the pictures of cherubims, Lions, and Oxen. In this the priests washed the beasts which should serue for burnt offerings, which neuerthelesse were firste washed in the sheepe poole called Probatica.

90 THE HOVSE OF COVNSEL,

* 1.346 at the South side of the temple, where was the assembly of the elders of the people.

91 THE CLOSETS,

* 1.347 or vesteries, were side houses, lōg, broade, and high, like towers. In the which, the Priests when they should enter into the holy place, did put off their wollen garments, laying them vp till

the seruice was ended.* 1.348 Wherin also they did eate the partes of the peace offerings.

92. THE SEA OF BRASSE,

* 1.349 containing very greate store of water,* 1.350 which Salomon made, and placed on the South side of the temple,* 1.351 vpon twelue oxen of brasse; wherein the priests entering into the temple to serue at the alter, washed their hands and their feete.

93. THE NEW GATE,

* 1.352 the which was in the Ile of the temple toward the south where Ieremie fore∣shewing that the citrie and temple should be destroi∣ed, was taken. And where Baruch red before the peo∣ple the prophesie of Ieremy.

94. THE HOLY GATE,

* 1.353 otherwise called the brasen gate, which being in the Inset parte of the temple, opened toward the East: before the which Esdras red the law of God before the people: and where the ru∣lers of the Iewes, a long time after that, exhorted the seditious vnto peace.

95. THE PORCH OF THE TEMPLE,

* 1.354 builded by Salomō before the Sanctuary,* 1.355 the which was twen∣ty cubits long, and ten broade.

96. THE RINGES SEATE,

* 1.356 the which was very loftie, the which Salomon prepared for the kings.

97. THE LOFTES OF THE SINGERS,

where di∣uine praises were songe with voice,* 1.357 and with di∣uers instruments.

98. THE PLACE OF ZACHARIAS,

* 1.358 where he was stoned betweene the temple and the altar.* 1.359

99. THE PLACE,

where the Iewes woulde haue sto∣ned Christ.* 1.360

THE FOVRTH PARTE OF THE TEMPLE.

100 THE ILE,

* 1.361 which belonged to the Gentiles,* 1.362 being also called the out set Courte, which is the fourth part of the temple, into the which men ascended by many stares. Whose inset space open to the aier paued with al manner of bewtiful stones, had foure excellent gates opening towards the foure partes of the worlde, which were shut with dores of brasse. This being a square porch much like a cloy∣ster, vphoulden with pillers of Marble, & seeled ouer with cedar, was thirtie cubits broade. The whole cir∣cuite

and compasse of which porch, was fiue hundred paces. Into this Courte or porch all sortes of Iewes and Gentiles might enter, both cleane and vncleane: where vpon it was called the Courte of the Gentiles. Here hence it was that Christ did caste out twise the buiers and sellers: and suffered not any man to carry somuche as a vessell through the same. Here hee discharged the woman taken in adulterie. Here hee taught often times. Here also the Iewes woulde haue stoned him. Finally here it was that hee was glo∣rified before the Gentiles with a voice from hea∣uen.

THE PARTES OF THE COVRT OF THE GENTILES.

101 THE GOVLDEN EAGLE,

* 1.363 was of great waigth, sette vp by Herod the greater ouer the greatest gate of the Temple,* 1.364 and was at the laste pulled downe by the Iewes and cut in peeces, where vpon arose a great tumult, and many were slaine.

102. THE TREASVRIE

;* 1.365 in Hebrue called Corban, a chest wherein was offered and kepte suche money,* 1.366 as serued for the necessaries of the sacrifices,* 1.367 for the su∣stentation of the poore, and for the repairing of the Temple. When Helidore, who was sente by the kinge of the Syrians, soughte to take the spoyle of

〈1 page duplicate〉〈1 page duplicate〉

〈1 page duplicate〉〈1 page duplicate〉

this treasury,* 1.368 he was scourged by angels from heauen. And when Pilate by the like temiretie would haue be∣stowed this holy treasure for the bringing in of waters he was let and hindred by a general vprore of the peo∣ple:* 1.369 the which neuerthelesse the Romaines when they had wonne the cittie tooke and caried way.* 1.370 Also we reade that Lysimachus was slaine neer vnto this place:* 1.371 Here it was that Christ taught himselfe to be the light of the world,* 1.372 and sayd that he should be lifted vp vpon the crosse by the Iewes.* 1.373 Christ sitting here,* 1.374 pronoun∣ced that the poore widdow offering two mites,* 1.375 had giuen more then all the rich.* 1.376 Ouer this treasurie, for a monument of his aduerse fortune turned into pros∣peritie, kinge Agrippa hanged vp that golden chayne, which the Emperour Caius gaue vnto him: being e∣quall in waight to that Iron chaine with the which his hands were bound by the commandement of the em∣perour Tiberius.

103. ACHAS DIALL,

* 1.377 the king, which he made, wher∣in the kinge Ezechias being sicke,* 1.378 for a signe of re∣couering his health, the shadowe of the sunne by di∣uine miracle, went backwards ten degrees.

104. THE NORTH GATE,

* 1.379 whereof mencion is often times made in the Scripture and in Iosephus.

105 THE SOVTH GATE,

* 1.380 mentioned often times in Scripture, and in Iosephus.

106 THE WEST GATE,

* 1.381 the which also in the booke of Cronicles,* 1.382 is called the gate of foundation.

107. THE EAST GATE,

the which also is called the gate Sur,* 1.383 otherwise Seir: also the kinges gate, and the Bewtifull gate:* 1.384 because of all the reste it was the greatest,* 1.385 highest,* 1.386 and fairest: by which also there was the principall enterance into the temple.* 1.387 This being decayed was repaired by kinge Ioatham. And neere vnto this gate the Apostle Peter, with his word, hea∣led the man which was lame from his mothers womb and sate there begging of almes.

108. THE TOWERS OF TROMPETORS,

* 1.388 which were erected alofte in the west corners of the tem∣ple.* 1.389 In the tops whereof, the priests, wanting the vse of belles, with two siluer trompets, called the people vnto the temple. Frō thence also they tould the people of Festiuall daies, of Sabboths, of fastes, and of solemne feastes.

109

HERE Christe writing with his fingar on the groūd made the accusers of the women taken in adultry ashamed and set her free.* 1.390

110 HERE

Christ making a whip of cordes, caste out the buiers and sellers,* 1.391 together with their marchandis.* 1.392

Thus far we haue spoken of the Temple, and of the partes thereof: and now me will prosecute the other partes of the daughter of Sion.

111. THE THEATER,

* 1.393 the which was builded in forme of a halfe circle by Herod the Ascalonite kinge of the Iewes,* 1.394 neere vnto the pallace of the Machabees. In the circuit whereof in Imagerie was sette foorth the tittles,* 1.395 the victories, and spoiles, of Augustus Caesar; shining with siluer and goulde: where the bet∣ter and more worthy sorte sitting vppon stayres and seates made round in compasse, and the rest standing therein, behelde the players, and actors, and musi∣tians, playing theire comedies and tragedies, and o∣ther plaies.

THE PLACES OF THE DAGHTER OF SION.

112 THE THROANE OF SALOMON

.* 1.396 It was a ve∣ry great thron of Iuorie,* 1.397 couered ouer with shining goulde,* 1.398 close and rounde in the toppe like a Iudge∣ment seate, hauing sixe steppes or stayres, at eache ende whereof were twelue Lyons set. In this throne kinge Salomon sate, when hee heard the controuer∣sies of the people, and pronounced Iudgement, and capitall sentences, appointing lawes and statutes.

Herein also hee sate, when in royall manner hee woulde shewe foorth his pompe,* 1.399 glory and Riches, and when he intended to bestow vpon his faithful ser∣uants rewardes.* 1.400

113 THE PASSAGE

which Kinge Salomon made of strong timber,* 1.401 to go from his pallace into the tem∣ple.

114. THE TRIBVNALL,

was a publique place, set be∣fore the house of Pilate,* 1.402 and appointed for Iudge∣ment,* 1.403 where the Lieutenants of Rome were wonte to giue sentence,* 1.404 which in Greeke,* 1.405 was called LI∣THOSTROTOS, that is, a place of pauement, and in Hebrue, GABATHA: bicause it was highe and loftie. Pilate sitting in this iudgement seate, and ha∣uing good wil to free Iesus standing before him, tooke water and washed his handes before the people, say∣ing, I am innocent from the bloude of this iuste man. But all the people crying out Crucifie him, Crucifie him, his bloude bee on vs and on our children: and fur∣ther laying treason to his charge in that hee made himselfe a kinge, hee condemned Christ to the death of the crosse, in this forme of wordes, euen as wee founde them in certeine antiquities, from whence we faithfully report them.

Iesum Nazarenum subuersorem Gentis, contempto∣rem Caesaris, et falsum Messiam, vt maiorum suorum testimonio probatum est, ducite ad communis supplicij locum: et cum ludibrio Regiae maiestatis, in medio du∣orum latronum cruci affigite. I lictor, expedi cruces.

That is to lay, carry ye to the place of common exe∣cution Iesus of Nazareth, a subuerter of his nation, a contemner of Caeser, and a false Messias, as is proued by the testimony of the elders of his owne people, and crucifie him betwene two theeues in reproch & scorn of his kingly maiesty. Go hang-mā, & mak ready with speede the crosses. The which sentence pronounced he deliuered him to the soldiors to be crucified. Who brought forth Iesus,* 1.406 depriued of all bewtie and comli∣nesse, and more like to a leaper, then to himselfe, by reason of the paines which they had laide on him, but that he might bee knowne vnto the people, they put on him againe his owne garmentes, and carieng his crosse, with two theeues through the gate of Iudge∣ment, to be crucified in mount Caluary.

Pilate sitting in this Tribunall seate in time of an Insurrection for bestowing the holy treasures of the temple,* 1.407 which were called Corban,* 1.408 gaue a se∣cret signe to the soldiors which were priuilie armed vnder their cloathes,* 1.409 that they should not vse swords but clubs,* 1.410 to beate downe the tumultuous Iewes.* 1.411 By which meanes many of them were slaine, many sore wounded, and very many trodden vnder foote, euen to death by their owne company in the tumult.

After this Florus the Lieutenant, sitting in the same iudgement seate,* 1.412 caused many of the Noble men and gentlemen of the Iewes, to be beaten and torne with rods and whips, and to be fastened on crosses: who al∣so caused many other massakers about the cittie, no∣thing sparing neither women, children, nor sucking babes. The which were certain beginnings of venge∣ance taken by almighty God vpon the obstinat Iewes for the shedding of the Innocent bloud of Christ.

115. THE TOWER OF STRATO,

* 1.413 in Greeke called Pyrgus Sratonis, situate betwene the castle Antonia and the temple: it was a hollow & an obscure passage where Antigonus was slaine by the soldiors of his brother.

116 THE VALLY OF CEDRON,

* 1.414 broad, deepe and dark, which in manner of a ditch or trench compas¦sed the temple round about. And because it was dis∣posed after the fashion of a morter, it was called in He brue Macthes,* 1.415 and in Latine Pila. This was so excee∣ding deepe, that men could not looke down from the roofe of the temple into the bottome therof but their eies, would dazle and their heades seme to turne with gidinesse.* 1.416 Herein Merchantes, and all sortes of chapmen dwelled.* 1.417 Into this vally Iames the brother of the Lorde, firste Bishop of Ierusalem, for professing Iesus the sonne of God on the feaste of passeouer was cast downe headlong from the battlementes of the temple at the commandement of Anani a Saducei chiefe prieste, and was immediately knockt on the head with a fullers club, & was there buried nere vnto the temple, his monument remaining there alonge time after.

117 THE WAIE OF THE CROSSE,

by which Christ hauing receiued his iudgement to be cruci∣fied, went forward with painefull and bloudy steps to mount Caluary.

For beginning at the Pallace of Pilate he made sixe and twenty steppes (which make threescore and fiue foote) vnto the place where the crosse was layde vpon him.* 1.418

From whence (all the cittye gazeing on him) ca∣rying his crosse on his sore shoulders, hee came to∣wardes the Weste, or rather North-weste, foure∣score steppes, which make two hundred foote, to the place, where men say, that hee fell downe vnder his crosse.

From thence going forward, by threescore steppes and three foote (which make a hundred fiftie and three foote) hee came to the place where the blessed virgin Marye with Iohn the Apostle mette with him.* 1.419 And proceeding from hence by threescore and eleuen steppes, and one foote and a halfe (which make a hundred seuentie and nine foote) he came vn∣to a certaine crosse way, where Simon of Ciren was compelled to beare the hinder parte of the crosse with Christ.

Taking his way hence by one hundred ninetie and one steppes, and halfe a foote, (which commeth to foure hundred and seuenty foote) hee came to the place where a certayne woman mette with him. And from thence going three hundred thirtie sixe steppes and two foote, (which amounte to eighte hundred fortie and two foote) hee came to the Iudiciarie gate where once againe he fell with his crosse.

From thence hee ascending faintely a very heard and stony way towardes the North, hee gained three hundred forty and eighte steppes and two foote (the summe eight hundred seuentye and two foote) which broughte him vnto a two foulde way, where certaine women weeping spake vnto him: And from hence

laboring forwarde threescore steppes and one and halfe a foote, (which make foure hundred and foure foote) hee fell downe the laste time, at the foote of the mounte CALVARIE. From thence hee weari∣lie and faintingly went forwarde eighteene steppes, or fortie fiue foote to the place where the hange-men drewe off his cloathes, where they gaue him to drinke wine mixt with mirrh and gaule.

Then hee went on twelue steppes, or thirty foote euen to the place where hee was nayled on the crosse on mounte CALVARIE. So that from the Pallace of Pilate, vnto the place where Iesus was crucified, the distance is a thousande three hundered and seuen steppes: or by another accoumpt, three thousand two hundred sixtie and eight foot,

We haue made such exacte descripion and de∣monstration of the way of the crosse (as also the way of the Captiuity hereafter expressed vnder the num∣ber of two hundred and seuen) to the ende that eue∣rie Christian man, in all places, euen in the doores of his house, or walking often times in his garden, or being in a iourney, or in the Temple, either lying in his bedde, may by the Imaginination of his minde conceiue the like way, and with godly affection of the hearte may meditate vpon the passion of Christ: the which no doubt is both acceptable vnto God, and for our owne soules health moste profitable as the holy Scriptures, and the writinges of good men by their often exhortations do testifie.

118. THE WAY OF ENTRANCE EOR THE HOR¦SES,

* 1.420 which was betwene the pallaces of Salomon,* 1.421 and of the Queene.* 1.422 By which Athalia the Queene be∣ing brought out of the horsse gate, was slaine in the valley of the Brooke Cedron.

119 THE GALLERY,

made in forme of a stone bridge, with many arches, extending it selfe with ample largenesse ouer the common streete, adorned with o∣pen walkes vppon the same. From the which there was a passage from the pallace of Pilate, into the cast∣le of Antonia, and so from thence into the Temple. Frō this place, being very safe, y^e Lieutenants of Rome were wont to speake vnto the people.* 1.423 Whereon Pi∣late standing, exhibited Iesus to the Princes and peo∣ple of the Iewes to bee looked on, being very soare scourged, spit on, cloathed with a purple cloake, and wearing a sharpe crowne of thornes vppon his head,* 1.424 saying vnto them Behould the man;* 1.425 that he being thus afflicted,* 1.426 they might haue compassion on him. But they with confused voyces cried,* 1.427 crucifie him, cruci∣fie him. Whereas yet an arch of stone is to be seene, and is shewed vnto straungers, with this Inscription: Tolle, Tolle, crucifig—the rest cannot be red, by reason antiquitie hath worne it out. From this Gallery kinge Agippa pronounced an eloquent oration to pacifie the sedicious people, exhorting them to obay the Ro∣maines, Iosephus maketh mention many times of this Gallery.

120 THE CROSSE OF CHRIST,

which was layd on his shoulder,* 1.428 was fiftene foote long, and eight foot ouer, as we haue receiued by tradition of the elders.

121 HERE

it is sayd that Christ fell the first time vnder his crosse.* 1.429

122 HERE

also by tradition of some fathers,* 1.430 it is sayde, that the blessed virgin Marye with Iohn and cer∣teine godly women stoode,* 1.431 as Christe passed by with his crosse.

123. CHRIST, being com to these two waies,

* 1.432and being wearied with the heauy burden of his cros,* 1.433 is said to haue fallen.* 1.434 For the which cause,* 1.435 the soldiors and Iewes,* 1.436 fearing that he would faint, before he could be crucefied,* 1.437 tooke a certaine man comming out of the country,* 1.438 named Simon of Cyren, and compelled him to carry the crosse after Iesus.

THE THIRD PARTE OF THE CITTIE.

124 THE SECOND CITTIE.

* 1.439 This is the thirde parte of the cittye,* 1.440 the which also had many narrow waies wherof mention is made somtime in the Scripture wherein amonge others many prophets and noble∣men dwelt.* 1.441 This when the Romaines had gotten,* 1.442 they were by the seditious againe driuen out of the cittie.* 1.443* 1.444

Where also after the martirdome of Iames the Apostle, Peter being caste into prison by Herod Agrippa,* 1.447 they praied without ceassing for his deliuerance. Who at the laste being brought out of prison by the angell, and knock∣ing at the dore of this house, was by a damsell brought

into the same. In the which place afterward a church was builded which was the firste of the Christian Greeks. And is an episcopall seate, which the Sirians hould vnto this day.

127. THE HOVSE OF OLDA THE PROPHETES,

the wife of Sellum;* 1.448 a famous noble-man the greate vncle of the prophet Ieremy:* 1.449 whose counsell being as∣ked by the king Iosias, she foretould him of the destru∣ction of Ierusalem.

129 THE WOOD MARKET

which Cestius set on fier.* 1.451

130. THE HABITATION OF THE RECHABITES

:* 1.452 who liuing religiously according to the comman∣dement of their Father, possessed neither fieldes nor vineyards, and like pilgrims of this world, dwelt not in houses but in tents, and wholely abstained from wine. Wherfore when through the necessitie of warre they were cōpelled to come into the citty, Ieremy drinking vnto them by the cōmandement of God, they would drink no wine. By which example of their obedience, the same prophet reprehended the disobedience of the obstinat Iewes, neglecting the commandement of God; and therefore he did set before the one a punish∣ment, and before the other a rewarde.

131 A LAKE,

which was situate betwene two walles of the citty,* 1.453 whereof mention is made in Isai the pro∣phet.

136 THE PALLACE OF HEROD,

* 1.460 the which was builded by HEROD the Ascalonite kinge of the Iewes, (who killed the Innocents) with sundry sorts of pollished marble stones nere vnto the west wall of the cittie, from the old wall, euen to the middle wal: being

most singularly bewtified with siluer and gould most strongelie fortefied with an iron gate,* 1.461 and three most excellent towers,* 1.462 to wyt, Hippic, Mariam, and Phasel, which in greatnes, strength and beautie, excelled all the towers of the whole world. Within was the kings haule, which being builded on high and verie loftie with vnspeakable magnificence, was wholly cōpassed about with moste beautifull towers,* 1.463 parlours, cham∣bers, galleries, porches, & with pillers, with the which there was an inclosed court open to the ayre.

In this haule, Christ was presented to Herod Anti∣pas Tetrarch of Galilie, who killed Iohn the Baptist; which Herod, asked Christ many questions, who was there constantly accused by the Iewes. Whom, when he answered nothing,* 1.464 the same Herod and his whole rout despised and scorned:* 1.465 and so sent him to Pilat clad in white, as if he had bene a foole, or a iester. But nowe this pallace is a scoole for children of the In∣fidelles.

Which Peter being bound with two chaines, & most safely kept by fower quaternions of soldiors all the daies of sweete bread:

But in the night before the day whereon hee should haue bene put to death, he was by the Angell of the Lord loosed from his chaines, and by him brought foorth through an iron gate, by the first and second watch, into the cittie.

139 THE LAKE, CALLED STRVTIVM,

which was the middle Lake.* 1.469 Here also Titus caused a bulwark to be made.

140. THE TOWER HIPPIC:

The which being fower square,* 1.470 was builded in the second wall, vpon a high hill. It was fower score and fiue cubits high, and ha∣uing two toppes was to be seene a far off. It was mar∣ueilouse strong, builded by Herod the elder: who ha∣uing in the warre lost his friendes the Hippics, called this tower after their name Hippic.

141. THE TOWER MARIAMME,

* 1.471 The which beeing fiftie cubits high stood aloft in most bewtiful man∣ner, vpon a high hill of the ould wall, the which Herod builded for a memoriall of Mariamme his best belo∣ued wife, whom he had slaine, and called it after her name Mariamme. And because it caried the name of a Queene, therefore it was more beautifull in shewe then the other.

142. THE TOWER PHASELVS,

* 1.472 which being fower-score & ten cubits high, set vpon a high place of y^e ould wall, and made alofte in forme of a ball was of

And in the honor of his brother Phaselus called it Phaselus, who being taken prisoner by the Parthians, and hauing no libertie to vse neither wea∣pon nor hands: ran his head against a stone and so kil∣led himselfe. How this and the other two towers were left standing after the destruction of Ierusalem, reade vnder the nomber of (1.) going before.

143. HERODS PARKE,

144 THE HOSPITALL,

* 1.475 which Hircanus the highe priest founded, with the mony which he got out of the sepulcher of Dauid.* 1.476 wherin pilgrims, poore men, and such as were Impotent were sustained and kept.* 1.477

145. THE WRESTLING PLACE,

* 1.478 the which was pla¦ced in Herods Pallas. It was large, seruing in the winter time for wrestlers, and for other exercises, and pastimes, wherewith men recreated themselues.

THE FOVRTH PARTE OF THE CITTIE.

146. THE NEWE CITTIE,

called in Greeke Caenopolis, the fourth parte of the cittie;* 1.479 the which was seuered as the other parts of the cittie were with walles, and many narrowe waies, which went cros, extending to the walles of the cittie. Where∣in dwelt woolle sellers, Carpenters, Smithes, and other workemen and artificers.

THE PLACES OF THE NEW CITTIE.

147 BEZETHA,

149. THE THIRD WALL,

the which also is called the outset wall, which kinge Agrippa made vp∣on the common charge of the cittizens,* 1.482 extending it more broad and highe then it was before. This wall was very firme and strong, fiue and twenty cubits high. It had foure score and tenne square and loftie towers which were of greate force, distant one from the other two hundred cubits; whose building and bewty in stone worke, was nothing inferior to that of the temple.

150 THE BROADE STREETE:

was a figure of Christ,* 1.488* 1.489 who is the stronge and stable foundation of his church.* 1.490* 1.491

154 THE GATE OF THE CORNER,

so called be∣cause it was situate in the north-easte corner of the cittie,* 1.492 next vnto the brooke Cedron.* 1.493 The which also was called the gate of Beniamin,* 1.494 bicause the way led through the same vnto the tribe of Beniamin. By this gate,* 1.495 wood was brought into the cittie out of the de∣sert.* 1.496 In this gate also Ieremy the prophet was appre∣hended,* 1.497 whose ruines are nowe to bee seene a greate way out of the cittie.

155 THE GOVLDEN GATE,

situate betwene the gate of the valley and the gate of the fountaine, so called bicause it was gilden with goulde:* 1.498 It was also called the Easte gate,* 1.499 bicause it was builded on the easte side of the Temple.* 1.500 And bicause it led by a ve∣ry shorte way, from the temple of mounte Oliuet, it was rather a gate of the temple then of the cittie:* 1.501 and therefore Neemias maketh no mention thereof. By this gate Christe came riding vppon an asse into the cittie of Ierusalem at what time men cutte downe palmes and strowed them in his way, crying Hosanna before him.

156 THE GATE OF EPHRAIM,

* 1.502 which now of som is called Saint Stephens gate,* 1.503 situate on the north part tending toward the way which leadeth vnto the tribe of Ephraim,* 1.504 where vppon it was called the gate of E∣phraim. From this gate vnto the gate of the corner

Ioas king of Israell,* 1.505 beate downe the wall of Ierusalem by the space of foure hundred cubits,* 1.506 and in trium∣phant manner hee being caried into the cittie in his chariot through that breach, became Lorde of the cittye. The which wall together with the towers thereof, Ozia kinge of Iuda afterwarde restored a∣gaine.

157. THE WATER GATE,

* 1.507 the which was situate be∣twene mount Sion,* 1.508 and the mount Moria,* 1.509 in the valley called Mello,* 1.510 toward the east. It was called the water gate, bicause it opened a passage, vnto the foun¦taine of the water of Siloe: and bicause horses were ca∣ried through the same to be watred in the brooke Ce∣dron. And for this cause it was called the easte horse gate and it tended toward the valley Gehennom.

158 THE GATE GENATH,

or the gate of kinge Herods Garden,* 1.511 which was not farre from the se∣cond wall of the cittye. By which, water was brought vppe into the Tower Hippic. By this gate the sedi∣tious priuily salyed out many times vppon the Ro∣maines.

161 THE FISH GATE,

* 1.514 the which was situate nexte to the tower of Dauid in the valley Mello,* 1.515 betweene mount Sion,* 1.516 and the lower cittie, towardes the weste: and by the vault adioyning to the same,* 1.517 it gaue a con∣uenient passage too and from the cittie to euery man. And it was called the fish gate, because through the same, fishes were brought into the cittye from Ioppe, and from other townes of the sea cost. This also had other names, as the gate of Dauid: and the marchants gate. Dauids gate, bicause it was nexte to Dauids to∣wer: & the merchants gate, bicause by the same much marchandize were carried into the cittie from Bethe∣lem, Hebron, Gaza, from AEgipt, and from AEthio∣pia. By this gate strangers that came from the weste, were wont to enter into the cittie.

162. THE DOVNG GATE,

* 1.518 on the east side of the cit∣tie, toward the corner gate, on the north-east, cari∣ed all the doung and filth of the cittie which the raine gathered together, into the brooke Cedron. Where vpon it was rightly called the doung gate.

163. THE GATES OF WOMENS TOWERS

164. THE VALLEY GATE,

* 1.522 so named,* 1.523 bicause it made way into the valley of Iosephat, situate in the midst betwene the doung gate,* 1.524 and the goulden gate, and not far distant from the sheepe market,* 1.525 and the poole called Probatica.* 1.526 The which also for this cause deser∣ued to be called the droue gate,* 1.527 bicause the flockes of cattell which were soulde in the sheepe market and were to bee offered for sacrifice in the temple, were brought in by this gate. But now it is called Saint Ste∣phens gate of the first martyr Stephen, which was sto∣ned to death not far from the same.

165. THE OLDE GATE,

which being on the west part of the cittie,* 1.528 was called in time past by the Iebusites the gate Iebus.* 1.529 It was also called the iudgement gate, bicause in olde time,* 1.530 the Iudges did sit there in Iudge∣ment.* 1.531 For then the Seniors did exercise iustice and Iudgement in the gates of their citties.* 1.532 And such as were condemned to die, went out at this gate.* 1.533 Where vpon Christ was led out of the same to bee crucified.* 1.534 Of this gate, there are at this day some oulde remain∣ders and ruines to be seene.

166 THE ROCKE

: which was very high, going alonge from the tower Psephina vnto mounte Sion,* 1.535 vpon the which the whole west wall of the cittie stood.

167 THE TOWER ANANEEL,

* 1.536 the which being not far distant from the corner gate,* 1.537 towards the easte

168 THE CORNER TOWER,

* 1.539 standing alofte vppon the corner gate, which kinge Ozias did strongly repaier, and made it one hundred and fifty cubites high.

169 THE TOWER OF DAVID

Thy neck is like the tower of Dauid, buil∣ded with bulwarkes, where vppon there hang a thousand shields;* 1.542 yea all the weapons of the Giants.

170 THE HIGH TOWER,

* 1.543 which was builded vppon the gate of the valley.* 1.544 The which also kinge Ozias repaired, and that it might be seene beyonde mounte Oliuet, hee made it one hundred and fiftye cubites high.

171 THE LANTERN TOWER,

situate on the North end of the cittie, which men thinke was so called, bicause fier was continually kepte there,* 1.545 to serue as a marke both for land and seafaring men, to direct them the right way.

The ruines whereof are as yet to be seene.

175 THE TOWER OF SILOE,

* 1.550 which falling in Christs time slue eighteen men.

176 THE DEEP VALLEY,

* 1.551 which compassing mount Sion on the North and south parte, went all along the weste side of the cittie, euen to the gate of Ephra∣im, making a fitte and conuenient ditch for the Cit∣tie.

THE PLACES WITHOVT THE CITTIE. THE PLACES AT THE EAST PART OF THE CITTIE.

177. THE WATER,

178. BETHANIA,

the noble castle of Marry and of Mar∣tha the sisters of Lazarus, hauing many houses, the which was situat beyond mount Oliuet,* 1.555 distant from Ierusalem fifteene furlongs,* 1.556 that is, two Italian miles. From which place, though it were but a little way off, yet by reason that mount Oliuet lay betwene, the cit∣tie Ierusalem could not be seene: excepte from a little hill from whence part of mount Sion might be seene. Christe often times lodged in this house of Martha: where he preached the worde of God to Mary sitting at his feete. Here he raifed vp Lazarus to life, after he had beene buried foure daies, and began to stincke. Here, hee sitting in the house of Simon the leaper, at the table together with Lazarus, Martha seruing thē Mary annointed him with a most pretious ointment.

179. BETHPHAGE,

* 1.557 a little village, belonging to y^e priests situate at the east foote at the mounte Oliuet,* 1.558 from whence Christ sente two of his disciples vnto the Ca∣stle Opposite,* 1.559 or ouer againste them,* 1.560 to fetch the Asse and the Coulte. The which brought, and the disci∣ples cloathes laide on the Coulte, hee roade on the same into Ierusalem. But comming down from mount Oliuet, and seeing the cittie, he wept on her, and pro∣phesied hir vtter ruine bicause she knew not the day of hir visitation.

180 THE CASTLE OPPOSITE,

* 1.561 or which lyeth o∣uer against you (to vse the wordes of Christ) when he sent his disciples to fetch him the Asse.* 1.562 It was a vil∣lage right ouer against Bethphage.* 1.563

181 THE WELL,

* 1.564 nere vnto Bethanie, where when the Lorde came to raise vp Lazarus, Martha first met with him, and afterward called forth hir sister Mary.

planted beside the way of Bethanie,* 1.566 the which bearing no fruite, but garnished only with leaues, was curssed of Christ and so presently withered.

184 THE DRAGON FOVNTAINE,

which doth springe euen at this daye,* 1.567 which was betwene the valley and the dung gate.

185. GEHENNOM,

the which also was called Benhen∣nom,* 1.568 that is to say, the valley of the sons of Ennom. It was a place which was situate in the Suburbes of the cittie of Ierusalem towarde the South-easte.* 1.569 In which place of Benhinnom was the tabernacle and the Idole Moloch:* 1.570 the which Idole as it was chiefe and principall amonge all the other Idols, so the same being the greatest abhomination and moste hated vnto God, hee often times forbad the same in the scriptures. It was an Idoll the matter whereof was brasse; made in the likenesse and similitude of a king, it was hollow within, and had a head like to the head of a Calfe, the other partes or members of the bo∣dy hauing the shape and fashion of a man, the armes whereof were stretched out: whereto the children that shoulde bee offered were made faste, with the vehe∣ment and extreame heate of the Idoll were burned and vtterly consumed being so houlden as it were of the same betweene his armes. For when the Idoll was made red whot with the fier which they had put into the hollownesse of the same, then the moste wicked parents of these children in moste cruell and barbarous manner, deliuered vppe their sonnes and their daughters to these detestable and diuelish Im∣bracings

of the Idoll, that so they mighte bee burnte. And this they did of a certaine deuelish deuotion, offeringe them vppe to the Diuell Moloch for a burnt offering of moste filthie sauour. Amiddest these horrible tormentes where with they were thus tor∣mented, the miserable Clamor of the children could in no wise bee heard, whereby the parentes mighte in any sorte bee moued to pittie or compassion, for that the priestes of this Idole Moloch, during the whole time of the sacrifice,* 1.571 did vsually make an ex∣ceeding greate noise both with the trumpettes and drums.

Wherevppon that place was called also Tophet. In this abhominable manner,* 1.572 Achaz, and Manasses also,* 1.573 kinges of Iuda, beeing euen as madde as the Common people, offered vppe their sonnes to the Diuell Moloch. The which detestable madnesse, the godly kinge Iosias seeking at the length to redresse, brake in peeces the image of Moloch, cut downe his Groues, and defiled the place thereof with the fil∣thinesse of dead Carcasses, of bones, and of other vn∣cleane thinges, and appointed it to bee a perpetuall dunghil for euer.

In this Valleye Ieremye at the commandement of GOD,* 1.574 breaking an earthen potte in peeces against the grounde,* 1.575 before the Elders of Iuda: prophesied that GOD woulde after the selfesame manner, break and destroye both the Cittye and the people. Ac∣cording to which prophesie, there was so great and mightie a multitude of people slaine there, because they had filled this place with the bloud of Innocent children, that this place was called no more the val∣ley of Tophet, but Poliandron, that is to saye a heape of manye dead bodies, whose Carcases lyeng

there vnburied, became meat for the birdes of the ayre and for the beastes of the field.

186. GETHSEMANI,

a ferme place, at the foote of mount Oliuet.* 1.576 This had manie fruitfull oliue trees. When Christ intended to go vnto the garden that was in mount Oliuet,* 1.577 he came from his last supper in∣to this place, heauie and sorrowfull vnto the death.

187 THE GARDEN OF OLIVET,

in the mount of Oliuet,* 1.578 where Christ praied vnto his father three times,* 1.579 that the cuppe of his passion might passe from him.* 1.580 And being in an agony, as he continued in prai∣er,* 1.581 he swet bloud which fel droppe by dropp vnto the earth:* 1.582 at what time hee was comforted by an angell from heaueu.* 1.583 In Hieroms time there was a Church builded on this place,* 1.584 which is as yet to be seene.* 1.585

188 THE KINGS GARDEN,

the which also was cal∣led the inclosed garden.* 1.586 It was in the Suburbes of Ierusalem,* 1.587 walled round about. And like to a parra∣dise it was planted with trees,* 1.588 of all sorts of fruits,* 1.589 with hearbes,* 1.590 with flowers of most sweet sauour, and what soeuer els that might delight the sences.* 1.591 It had also most pleasant and conuenient walkes. In this was that famous fountaine Rogel, & the stone Zoeleth, of both which there is often mencion made in the Scripture; where Adonias when he purposed to raigne, offered oblations, and with his followers made a feast.

189. THE GROAVE OF MOLOCH,

* 1.592 consecrated to the Idol Moloch:* 1.593 where the worshippers thereof, after they had ended their sacrifice, committed forni∣cation vnder the shadow of the trees.

190 THE MOVNT OF OFFENCE

;* 1.594 it was a very high mountaine,* 1.595 situate on the south side of the kinges garden. Where the moste wise Salomon being nowe old, was seduced & made folish by his strange wiues, building a temple to Melchom the Idoll of the Ammo∣nites, which also he worshipped.

191 THE MOVNT OLIVET

; or mounte of Oliues, so called by reason of the great plenty of oliues which grew there: called also in Greeke Elaeon, which other∣wise also is named the famous, and holy mountaine. It was situate on the east side of Ierusalem. It was se∣perated from the high cittie, the valley of Cedron ly∣ing betwen, distant from the cittie a Saboth daies ior∣ney, according to the Scripture: but according to Io∣sephus,* 1.596 it was distant fiue furlonges: who also addeth that the top of the hill was six furlongs from the citty.* 1.597 For it was of so greate hight,* 1.598 that from the same, not only almost all the streetes of Ierusalem but also the dead sea,* 1.599 might easily be seene. And besides the oliues it abounded with palmes,* 1.600 pines, mirtells, and other fruitful trees.

In the toppe of this hill, the holy king Dauid fleeing from the face of his sonne Absolom, weping, and bare∣footed worshipped God.* 1.601 In this mountaine also his

sonne Salomon forgetting all godlinesse,* 1.602 erected a temple to Astaroth the Idole of the Sidonians,* 1.603 right ouer against the temple of Ierusalem (from whence e∣uery one that committed Idolatry mighte beeseene.) The which also with all other places dedicated to I∣dols, Iosias vtterly destroied.

Christ often times came vp into this mountaine, both for quietnesse sake and also to pray,* 1.604 tarieng there all the night.* 1.605 Also from the top of this mount, he as∣cended into heauen,* 1.606 in the presence of his disciples standing there and behoulding him, after he had bles∣sed them.

192. THE MOVNT OF OFFENCE,

a high mountain, on the other side of the brooke Cedron, and on the North side of the mounte Oliuet,* 1.607 distant from Ieru∣salem foure furlonges.* 1.608 Whereon Salomon by the mo∣tion of his heathenish wiues,* 1.609 builded a Temple to Chamosh the Idole of the Moabites.* 1.610 This also Iosias brake downe. In the time of the Machabees a Castle was builded on this mount, some tokens whereof are to be seene at this day.

193 THE FVLLERS MONVMENTE

: the which was not farre from the Corner gate,* 1.611 in the North-easte.

194. THE PALME TREESE,

* 1.612 wherof mention is made in Neemias,* 1.613 and in Saint Iohns Gospell.

195 THE DOVE-HOVSE,

on the South ende of the mount Oliuet;* 1.614 It was made of stone, round, loftie, and fashioned like a tower, wherin were store of doues to the number of foure or fiue thousand.

196. THE BRIDGE OF CEDRON,

* 1.615 made of stone, with one arche erected ouer the brooke Cedron, which Helena the Emperes caused to be made in that place.

197. THE SEPVLCHER OF THE VIRGIN MARY,

* 1.616 which was in the valley of Iosaphat neere vnto the ferme place of Gethseman, at the foot of mount Oliuet wherein the body of the most holy and blessed virgin, was decently buried by the Apostles.

198. THE COMMON PLACE OF BVRIALL,

* 1.617 which was in the velley of Iosaphat,* 1.618 where the common sort of people were buried.

199. THE FOVNTAINE OF SILOE,

* 1.619 whereto was ioyned the poole of Siloe,* 1.620 the which also is called the lower poole, lyeng on the weste side of the valley of Iosophat, and springing from the roote of mounte Sion. The water thereof being cleere, sweete, and plentifull, ran with a still and calme streame into the brooke Cedron.

This fountaine kinge Hezechias repaired. In the

poole of this fountain the man which was borne blind washing his eies which Christe had annointed with clay and his spittle,* 1.621 receiued his sight.* 1.622 Iosephus teste∣fieth that Siloe,* 1.623 and all other waters which were with∣out the cittie, did so faile and vanish away before the comming of Titus Caesar,* 1.624 that water was soulde hard by them.* 1.625 And after his comming, they did so abound to him and his hoast, that they had water enough for them and for their cattell. Concerning the vertue of this water, the most dilligent Surueyour of this place Saligniacus, writeth in this sort. The water of this foun∣taine is of greate price at this day, euen among the Sara∣cens themselues. For whereas naturally they be rammage and stinke like Goates,* 1.626 they washing themselues and their children therein, doe mittigate the euill sauour thereof. The Turkes also make great accoumpte thereof, for that they finde by experience, that the vse thereof is good for the sight of their eies.

200 STEPHEN,

* 1.627 the Deacon, in the very flower of his youth, was stoned to death, praying to God for them that stoned him, whose garments the young man Paule kept. This man, was the firste that trium∣phed with the palme of martirdome.

201 THE BROOKE CEDRON

; is a riuer on the easte side of Ierusalem betweene the same and mounte O∣liuet,* 1.628 which being increased with diuers springs issu∣ing from all partes out of the mountaine,* 1.629 and pooles,* 1.630 ran through the valley of Iosaphat,* 1.631 and Gehennom with a siluer streame, and so passed through the plaines of the wildernesse into the dead sea.

On the bankes of both side this riuer, there grewe

many frutefull trees: the pleasant shew whereof, toge∣ther with the gardens neere adioyning which were watered with the cristall streames of Cedron,* 1.632 greatly delighted the eies and mindes,* 1.633 of such as walked by the same. King Dauid passed ouer this riuer bare foo∣ted,* 1.634 bare headed, and with watery eies, accompanied with his moste trusty frendes, fleeing from the face of his sonne Absolom. Christ also went ouer the same, with his disciples when hee wente to the garden of mount Oliuet.

202 THE VALLEY OF IOSOPHAT,

* 1.635 the which also is called the valley of Cedron,* 1.636 and the valley of Mountaines. It is a wide and deepe valley betwene Ie∣rusalem and mounte Oliuet,* 1.637 compassing the cittie on the east parte,* 1.638 the which is made very fruitfull by the passage of the brooke Cedron. The greate deepenes of this valley was much filled by Titus and Adrian the Romaine Emperours,* 1.639 casting into the same great store of earth with the ruines of the temple and cittie,* 1.640 yet it was not therewith any thing neere leueled.* 1.641 In this valley, the godly and religious kinges of Iuda, Asa Ezechias and Iosias, burned the Idols of the temple, and cast their ashes into the brooke Cedron.

This valley was the common place of buriall for the whole cittie,* 1.642 where all the common sorte of peo∣ple were buried.* 1.643 For it was the manner of the Iewes to bury their dead courses out of the citty. And in the same place, the Turkes are now buried.

203. THE VALLEY OF SILOE,

* 1.644 so named of the fountane of Siloe:* 1.645 wherein the Iewes which at this day dwell at Ierusalem, are buried.

204 THE WAIE OF THE FVLLERS FIELDE,

* 1.646 ly∣ing betweene the water of Siloe and the South-easte corner of the cittie.* 1.647 Here the Prophet Isaias foretoulde king Achaz, that Christ should be borne of a virgin.

205 THE WAY OF THE CAPTIVITIE

.* 1.648 These small prickes traced foorth in length (as you see) doe demonstrate the way, by which Christe was ledde captiue for the redemption of mankinde. For being come into the garden of mounte Oliuet to pray after his laste supper in the parlour of mounte Sion, and hauing offered to GOD his Father the holye sacrifice of praiers,* 1.649 returning from thence hee mette with his enimies which came to take him,* 1.650 to whome hee yeelded himselfe. Who hadde scarce gone for∣tie steppes from the place where hee prayed, but the soldiors which were sente from the highe priestes and rulers of the people, layed handes on him, tooke him, and bound him.

From whence he was presently caried as a meke Lambe by those rauening woolues, armed with weapons,* 1.651 ouer the brooke Cedron, to the house of ANNA, which was distante from the place where hee was taken, two thousande three hundred and sixtie pases. And from hence hee was caried to the Pallace of CAIPHAS three hundred and thirtie pa∣ces. And so afterwarde hee was conducted by the souldiors and by the people to the pallace of Pilate, which was distante from that of CAIPHAS a thou∣sande

pases. And from thence to the pallace of HE∣ROD which was distante three hundred and fiftie pa∣ces. Lastly from thence againe to the pallace of Pi∣late hee was caried by another way then that which hee came, the distance of sixe hundred elles which make about the length of halfe a myle and more. The pases whereof wee speake here, containe two foot and a halfe.

206 THE WAY, TO ANATHOT,

* 1.652to Bethel, and to the wildernesse.

207 THE WAY TO IERICO, and to ENGADDI,

* 1.653 of the which there is mention made in some of the Euangelists.* 1.654

208. HERE THE THREE APOSTLES,

* 1.655 Peter, Iames, and Iohn,* 1.656 sate while Christe prayed in the Gar∣den, being aboute a stones caste from the selfe same place.

209 HERE

the other eight Apostles taried being distante about a quarter of a mile from the other three pla∣ces.* 1.657

210. HERE CHRISTE,

* 1.658 to make vs free, was betraied with a kisse by the Traitor Iudas,* 1.659 and was bounde with hard and straight bands (as if he had ben an euil doer) by the Iewes, whom he beate downe backward to the

ground by the word of his mouth.* 1.660 There Simon Peter moued sodainely with great feruencie,* 1.661 stroke the ser∣uant of the high Priest whose name was Malchus, and cut off his right eare: which christ immediately resto∣red againe. But the rest of the Apostles being afeard left the Lord and fled.

211. IN this place of mount Oliuet

right ouer against the temple neere to a certaine water,* 1.662 Christ sate with his disciples,* 1.663 making a longe sermon concerning the de∣struction of Ierusalem,* 1.664 the afflictions of the godly to come, the comming of false prophetes, the signes of the ende of the world, and concerning the manner of the last iudgement. In the which place, there was afterward builded a temple which is now desolate.

212. THIS WAY Christ came to Ierusalem,

* 1.665 sitting vp∣on the Asses coult,* 1.666 wayted on with a great compa∣ny of men,* 1.667 som going before,* 1.668 and othersome follow∣ing after him: where vnto also a great number which came out of the cittie ioyned themselues. So that he seemed to be receiued of all men with so greate fa∣uour, that many spraed their cloathes in the waye, som cutting downe the bowes of palmes, oliues, and other trees, to honour him there withal, strowed them in the way. And the voices of such as reioyced was heard in euery place as he went resounding with these cries, Osanna in the highest, blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lord. With this pompe and triumph the true king and humble triumpher, entered in at the goulden gate, and rode aboute the temple, and the greatest part of the cittie. With this newe spectacle, the whole cittie was moued saying, Who is this? The

multitude which followed him answered, This is Ie∣sus the Prophet of Nazareth a Citty af Galile. Then the crie of those that reioysed and were gladde increased more and more, and men and women, young and olde, yea which is wonderful) the very infants, which came from al parts, cryed out together, Osanna to the sonne of Dauid, Blessed bee the king of Israel, which commeth a king in the name of the Lord. Blessed be the kingdome that commeth in the name of him, that is Lord of our father Dauid: peace in Heauen, and glory in the highest, Osanna in the hyghest. With these ioyful voi∣ces and cryes, they proclaiming their Messias, follo∣wed him euen into the Temple. Where this newe king happily beginning his kingdome, presently hea∣led the blinde and the lame. In the meane time the wicked and enuious Pharisies, the chiefe priestes and Scribes, doo fret and fume, who seeing the great mar∣uels which he did, and the children crying in the tem∣ple, Osanna to the sonne of Dauid, said among them∣selues, Do ye not see how we profit nothing? Behold the whole world goeth foorth after him.* 1.669 Wherevpon they begin with Iesus himselfe saying, Mayster, doost thou heare what these say? Rebuke thy Disciples. To whome he shewing that this was long before prophesied of by the Prophet, answereth, Why should they not? Haue ye not read, Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings thou hast ordained praise? I say vnto you if these holde their peace, the stones shall presentlie crye.

THE PLACES ON THE SOVTH PART OF THE CITTIE.

213. ABACVC.

* 1.670 Here the Angell of the Lord taketh vp the prophet Aba∣cuc by the haire of the head,* 1.671 as hee was carying to the reapers in the fielde their dinner, and caried him with the same meat into Babilon to feede Daniel,* 1.672 being shut vp in the Lyons denne. Who being fed, he brought Abacuc hither againe.

214 ACELDEMA, or Haceldemach,

* 1.673 that is to saye the fielde of bloud.* 1.674 It was a potters fielde situate at the South parte of mounte Sion hauing behinde it a hill of the same name.* 1.675 This fielde,* 1.676 by the counsaile of the Iewes,* 1.677 was bought with the thirtie peeces of siluer for the which Iudas soulde Christ,* 1.678 that it might serue to bury strangers in,* 1.679 the middle parte whereof the Em∣peresse Helen caused to be inclosed with a foure square wall in length seuenty and two foote, and in bredth fiftie.* 1.680 And the same to bee couered ouer with a roofe hauing seuen loope holes by which the deade bodies of Christians might be let downe.* 1.681

The vertue of this earth is reported to be wonder∣full, and almost incredible, to witte, that it bringeth and consumeth into dust, the bodies of the dead men within the space of twenty foure howers, leauing no∣thing but the bones.

215 THE FVLLERS FIELDE,

* 1.682 which lay all along at the South ende of the cittie,* 1.683 euen from the valley of Siloe east ward vnto mount Gihon, towards the west and betweene the wall of the citty and the water.

wherin he is said to haue hid himselfe by the space of three dayes,* 1.684 hauing vowed not to eate breade vn∣till Christe was risen agayne. For the which cause the Lorde appered to him a parte,* 1.685 after his resurrec∣tion.

217 THE CAVE OF PETER THE APOSTLE,

* 1.686 wherein after hee had denied the Lorde thrise, hee repented him and mourned with many teares.

218 THE TENTS OF THE ASSYRIANS,

of whom for a reuenge of their blasphemy, the most stronge to the nomber of 185000 in the very first night of the beseeging Ierusalem,* 1.687 were slaine by the Angell of the Lord,* 1.688 and (as Augustine reporteth) their bodyes were brought into dust,* 1.689 that they might not infect the aier: their garments, armour and weapons notwith∣standing remaining whole and sound, that the people of Ierusalem might haue the spoile.

219 THE HOVSE OF ELIAS,

* 1.690 wherein it is said that the prophet Elias sometime dwelt. Where after∣ward also a Church was builded.

220. THE MOVNTAINE EROGE,

otherwise called the South Mountaine,* 1.691 being very high and loftie,* 1.692 bowing a little towarde the west.* 1.693 Concerning this mountaine this is worthy to bee noted;* 1.694 That, when Ozias king of Iuda presumed to put on him the priests attire,* 1.695 entered into the sanctuary of the Temple,* 1.696 and offered vpon the golden altar, the incense of sweete sauour vnto God: by and by there came a great earth¦quake,* 1.697 (whereof also Amos and zacharias the Pro∣phets make mention) whereby the vpper part of the Temple was shaken, and this mountaine cleft in the mids, with so great and terrible violence, that one part thereof falling and tumbling downe was rolled and carried by the space of foure furlongs euen right ouer against the East mountaine (which is called the mount of offence) where at the length it staied. King Ozias himselfe in the meane time, blasted and terrifi∣ed with lightning, was stricken in the forehead with a Leprosie. For the which cause he being presently cast out of the Temple and Citty, languished all his life long, and was shut vp in his house and separated euen till the day of his death.

221. A FOVNTAINE

.* 1.698 At this Fountaine, the Starre, which vanished away when the three wise men,* 1.699 which came from the East, were entered Ierusalem,* 1.700

appeared vnto them againe: and led them vnto Beth∣lehem.

222. THE CAVE OF the Prophet Ieremy:

* 1.701 wherein he sitting with a greeued and sorrowfull mind, wept, moorned,* 1.702 and bewailed the destruction of Ierusalem, with sobs and sighes. Where Helena, the Empresse (as Nicephorus testifieth) builded a notable monu∣ment.

223 ISAIAS

.* 1.703 Here that notable Prophet Isai, when hee prophesied in Ierusalem about threescore and ten yeares,* 1.704 by the commandment of king Manasses, was split through the body with a sawe, and was buried vnder an Oake, whose sepulture is to be seene at this day.

224 THE CAVES OF THE APOSTLES

. There are many Caues, wherein eight of the Apostles (as it is reported) hid themselues, during the time of the Lords passion.

225 THE MONVMENT ABSOLOM,

* 1.705 is a marble piller,* 1.706 with an Inscriptiō on the same, distant from Ierusalem two furlonges: which Absolom beeing a∣liue set vppe to himselfe for a monument in the kings valley: where there is as yet to be seene a great heape of stones, which daily is increased more and more. For the Pagans and strangers passing by that way, vse this for a custome, that euery man cast a stone at the

piller, and challenging as it were, according to the lawe,* 1.707 his rebellion againste his father Dauid, they cursse him with this malediction, Cursed be the Parri∣cide Absalom, and accursed be all they for euer, which vniustly do persecute their parents.* 1.708

226 THE RIVER OF THE VPPER FOVNTAINE,

situate on the South parte of mount Sion (which Hieron calleth the Fullers fountaine) the which the noble king Ezechias repaired with the conduct therof also.* 1.709 This he choaked with earrh,* 1.710 at what time the As∣syrians beseeged Ierusalem.* 1.711* 1.712* 1.713

227 THE SEPVLCHER OF ZACHARIAS,

the son of Barachias, whome the Iewes slue betweene the temple and the altar.

THE PLACES ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITTIE.

228. BAALPARASIM,

is a field in the valley of Raphaim, wherein Dauid the king,* 1.714 at the first time, ouerthrew the Philistians,* 1.715 and buried their Gods which he found in their tents.

229. HERODS TENTS,

* 1.716 which as Iosephus witnesseth, he pitched on the weste part of the cittie.

230. THE FOVNTAINE GIHON THE LOWER,

* 1.717 which sprange vp in the end of the fullers field,* 1.718 the waters wherof Ezechias brought vnto the vpper oun¦taine.

231. THE FOVNTAINE GIHON the higher,

* 1.719 spring∣ing from the mount Gihon,* 1.720 which afterwards Eze∣chias stopped vp,* 1.721 and cutting deeper into the rocke, he brought the waters thereof vnto the west parte of the cittie of Dauid,* 1.722 by conduct pipes vnder the earth, by which he brought it through the middest of the cittie, into the innermoste fountaine, leaste when the cittye should be beseeged the people might want water.

232. IVDAS,

* 1.723 who of an Apostle being become a traytor, hoong himselfe vpon a wilde figge tree:* 1.724 And being hanged brust asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

233. THE MOVNT OF CALVARIE,

* 1.725 a rockie moun∣taine of meane hight,* 1.726 called in the Hebrue tongue Golgatha;* 1.727 which was nexte to the Northwest parte of the cittie.* 1.728 In the which place offenders condemned in open iudgement,* 1.729 were put to death. Where at all times,* 1.730 a man might see the boanes and bowels of men hanged, or otherwise put to death. Here, Christe Iesus our sauiour, which knew no sin, becam (as the Apostle sayth) sinne for vs, that is to say, was made a sacrifice

for our sinnes, and as if he had beene an euill dooer was hanged between two theeues, and for our saluatiō crucified. So that now mounte Caluary, which afore∣time was a place moste infamous, by the passion and bloud of Christ, is now made famous and honorable.

234. MOVNT GIHON,

* 1.731 a mountain full of stones, high and long, which running along by the West part of the Cytty, growing lesse and lesse towards the gate of iudgement, is seuered from the Citty by a deepe valley. In this mountaine, at the commaundement of Dauid,* 1.732 Salomon was annointed king, by Sadoc the chiefe priest, and by Nathan the prophet with the ho∣lie oyle. To whom immediatly all the people cryed, God saue king Salomon.

235 THE MONVMENT of Anani

the chiefe priest, of which Iosephus maketh mention, in his sixt booke, and thirteenth chapter of the Iewes warre.

237 THE SEPVLCHER OF CHRIST,

* 1.735 was a newe Monument,* 1.736 eight foot long, distant from Mount Caluarie,* 1.737 one hundred and eight foot, and from moūt Sion about a mile: which Ioseph of Arimathea, a

noble Senator,* 1.738 had hewen out in the rocke for him∣selfe,* 1.739 in the Garden neere vnto mount Caluarie. In the which Sepulcher he togither with Nichodemus,* 1.740 and the virgine Mary,* 1.741 with other godly women, buri∣ed the body of Iesus,* 1.742 being with the consent of Pilate taken from the crosse,* 1.743 and then trimmed with mirre and Aloes,* 1.744 and wrapt in a fine linnen cloath, was put honorablely into the same, the head layed toward the west: And rolling a stone of exceeding waight to the mouth of the monument,* 1.745 he went his way. But in the meane time, the chiefe priestes and Pharisies, going about to hinder the resurrection of Christ ta∣kinge vnto them a strong garde of soldiors, watched the sepulcher, and sealed the stone which shut vp the mouth of the sepulcher, least the keepers and watch∣men being corrupted with money shoulde deale de∣ceiptfully. But this dilligence of the Iewes, by which they went about to houlde Christ in the graue from rising againe, increased the miracle, and confirmed the faith of the Resurrection.* 1.746 And there hee firste of all appered to Mary Magdalen,* 1.747 at the monument as shee was weeping, in the likenesse of a Garde∣ner.

238. A WOOD,

neere vnto the cittie, as is to be gathe∣red by Iosephus in his sixt booke and fourtene chap¦ter of the Iewes warre.

240 THE VALLE OF DEAD CARCASSES,

* 1.749 which lay betweene mount Caluarie,* 1.750 and the walles of Ie∣rusalem: so called, bicause the dead carcasses, bones, & ashes, of such as were put to death or burnt on mount Caluarie were cast thereinto.

* 1.751 whereof mencion is made in the booke of the Cronicles,* 1.752 and in Iosephus.

242. THE VALLEY Raphaim,

* 1.753 that is to say, of Gyants. It a is valley on the west side of the cittie very large & great,,* 1.754 which beginneth at the north part, and exten∣deth vnto the South;* 1.755 bringing foorth most plentifully in time past excellent wheate, wine, oyle, and al other fruites. In this valley Dauid by the helpe of God, twise ouercame the Phillistines which sought to inuade him with a great armie.

243. THE WAIES TO BETHLEHEM, Emaus, to Gaza, and to Ioppa,

* 1.756 which Salomon made with flint and stoane, euen as he did other waies, which led to Ierusa∣lem, both to make the passage more easie, and also to shew foorth the magnificence of his kingdome in this point.

244. THE WAIE TO SILOE, and to Gabaon,

whereof Brocardus in his sixt booke of his traueile maketh mention.

245. HERE CHRIST

246. HERE IESVS

tourning himselfe about to the wo∣men that mourned and wept,* 1.758 sayde,* 1.759 ye daughters of Ierusalem,* 1.760 weep not for me; but weep for your selues and for your children, bicause the day shall come, &c.

247. HERE CHRIST FELL DOWNE

the third time vnder his crosse:* 1.761 as the fathers of old time haue af∣firmed.* 1.762

248 HERE CHRIST WAS STRIPT OVT OF HIS GARMENTS;

* 1.763 whose body being all to torne with whips,* 1.764 could not but be very soare, wherunto his blou∣dy garments cleauing gaue newe occasion of paine,* 1.765 when they were violently pulled off.* 1.766 And standing there naked al the while that the cros was a preparing,* 1.767 in the could & wind, he sate down at the length vpon a stone, where he dranke wine mixt with gaule & mirh.

249 HERE CHRIST BEING LAYED ON HIS BACK ON THE CROSSE,

* 1.768 and stretched out vpon the same,* 1.769 his hands and feete was nayled thereunto with Iron nayles:* 1.770 and his tender members were with such force strayned and racked vppon the crosse,* 1.771 that the very arteries and sinewes were loosened,* 1.772 and all his bones might be toulde.

250 THIS IS the most notable and memorable place of the whole world,

* 1.773 euen the clifte of the Rocke of mount Caluarie,* 1.774 wherein the Crosse bearing the bodie of Christ,* 1.775 was fastened about high noone of the feaste day of Passouer.* 1.776 Vpon the top of which crosse, a white table was fastened, expressing the cause of his death, written with Pilats owne hand in these woordes of Hebrue, Greke and Latine.

IESVS OF NAZARETH, KING OF THE IEWES

Further it is to be remembered,* 1.777 that the Iewes did in such manner erect and set Christ vpon his crosse,* 1.778 that his backe partes might be toward Ierusalem, and his face towards the west. For they demed him vnwoor¦thy to haue his face toward the holie cittie.* 1.779 But wee must thinke, that this was not done altogether by for∣tune, or without a mystery: but rather by the singular dispensation of God, his miseries seeme to be no false prophets of our felicitie,* 1.780 by this meanes, and by this dede forewarning them of that which the Prophet Ieremy had prophesied should come to passe, saying I will scatter them with an East wind before the enimie,* 1.781 I will shew them the backe and not the face,* 1.782 in the day of their destruction.* 1.783 For as saint Hierom saith, seeing they are dispersed throughout the whole world, and do cal vpon God night and day in the synagogues of Sathan,* 1.784 God sheweth vnto them his backe, and not his face that they may knowe that hee is alwaies going from them,* 1.785 and not comming towards them:* 1.786 And that e∣uen in the day of their destruction, that is to say, du∣ring all the time after the passion of our sauiour,* 1.787 vnto the very ende of the worlde:* 1.788 that when the fullnesse of the Gentiles is come in,, the remnant of the peo∣ple

of Israell may bee conuerted at the laste,* 1.789 and bee saued. And I verily coniecture that by this their cru∣elty, they were foretellers of our felicity. For in that they did sette the moste sweete and amiable face of our sauiour towarde the weste, it seemeth vnto me to note no other thinge, but the very same which the kingly Prophet longe before had toulde shoulde come to passe saying, His eies behoulde the gentiles. For hee hauing the eyes of his mercie opened and fixed vppon vs,* 1.790 from the time of his passion, will not cease to looke vpon vs with a fauorable countenance euen vnto the end of the world.

Therefore, Christe being on this manner hanged on the crosse, three howers naked, bloudy, wounded, crowned with thornes, did hang between two theeues in most grieuous torments, partaker with them of the paine and punishment, as if he had beene a compani∣on with them in their wickednesse: The which thing the prophet Isaias foreshewed should come to passe, saying, Hee was reputed among the wicked. Whome in the meane time, the Iewes, the high priests, together with the Scribes and elders of the people passing by, yea the common soldiors also, and the theefe that was crucified with him, in steed of consolation, which be∣longeth to al that are afflicted, in most reprochful man¦ner scorned him, shaking their heads, and saying, Thou which destroiest the temple of God, and buildest the same againe in three daies, saue thy selfe: if thou beest the sonne of God, come downe from the crosse, He saued others, him selfe he cannot saue If he be Christ the king of Israell, let him come down now from the crosse; and wee will beleue him. He trusted in God, Let him deliuer him nowe, if hee will haue him. For he said I am the son of God.

Iesus most patiently suffering all these things more bitter then the crosse, was so far from reuenging them

that he praied for them that mocked him saying, Fa∣ther [ 1] forgiue them for they know not what they doe. And to the other of the theeues requiring mercy hee pro∣mised [ 2] Paradise, saying, Verely I say vnto thee, This day thou shalt bee with me in Paradise. And then behoul∣ding his well beloued mother, and the disciples also whome he loued, and commending a virgin to a vir∣gin, [ 3] said vnto his mother, Behould thy sonne. And then he sayd to his disciple, Behould thy mother: who from that hower forward tooke her for his owne. While these thinges thus proceeded, the sunne abashed at those passions which the creator of all the worlde suf∣fered on the crosse, as it were mourning hid his face: and was darkened from the sixte hower, (at what time it shyneth in greatest glorye) vntill the ninth hower.

Then Iesus complayning that he is forsaken of his father, cryed out with a strong voice saying, My God, [ 4] My God, why haste thou forsaken me? This donne, to the ende all thinges that were spoken of by the pro∣phets, [ 5] might be fulfilled, hee sayd, I thirste. Straight way one running,* 1.791 as though he would doo him some good, when he had taken a spounge, and filled it with vinegre, hee put it vppon a reede and gaue him to drinke. Iesus wonderfully thyrsted for the saluation of men: but the Iewes offered him nothing but gaule and vinegre. And so soone as Iesus had tasted the [ 6] vinegre, hee sayde, It is finished, geuing thereby to vnderstand,* 1.792 that the sacrifice was truly ended accor∣ding to the will of his father. And once againe cry∣ing out with a loud voice and with sheading of teares, [ 7] hee sayth, Father into thy handes I commende my spi∣rit: And so bowing downe his heade (a man of flo∣rishing age) hee yealded vppe his breath, the nynth hower of the fiue and twentieth day of March, and in

the three & thirtith yere of his age and three moneths. But in the yeare from his Incarnation, the thyrty and foure.

By this sacrifice, the moste high and euerlasting priest inflamed with most singular and vnspeakeable loue, offered him selfe a sacrifice and a peace offering to God his father, and by his death destroyed death, ouercame Sathan, brake a sunder hell gates, restored life, and opened vnto all beleeuers, the euerlasting kingdome of heauen. For this cause, the fathers of ould time, ingraued in siluer these words of the psalme in Greeke, and set it in the circumference of the hole which was made on the toppe of mount Caluary, and wherein the crosse of Christ was fastened, but nowe they are ingrauen in copper thus.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, that is to saye, Here God our Kinge be∣fore worldes wrought saluation in the middest of the earth.

The which one and onely bloudy sacrifice moste truly and lawfully made,* 1.793 hee woulde not by and by so soone as he was dead be taken from the crosse, but e∣uen as when he was aliue, so when hee was dead, by the space of three howers he hong as a spectacle to all men: and as he spared no one member from torment so his will was to shed all his bloude, euen to the very laste droppe of his moste pretious heart, and to open the fountaine for the washing away of our sinnes,* 1.794 the which we may vse to our endlesse comforte.* 1.795 Therfore one of the soldiors perceauing and opening his side and hearte,* 1.796 presently there issued foorth bloude and water as from a moste liuely springe, to the sanctifying and saluation of his Church. In the meane season all thinges gaue testimonie to their Lorde and makers death. The vaile of the Temple rente asunder in two

partes: the earth was shaken and quaked, the graues o∣pened, the deade bodies of men arose againe, and the stoanie rockes, (to the shame and reproach of the Iewes for the hardnes of their hartes) claue a sunder & burst in peeces.

251 HERE the blessed virgin Marie,

* 1.797 accompanied with Iohn,* 1.798 with Marie Magdalen, & with other women, stoode with a firme mind and constant faith,* 1.799 where ac∣cording to the prophesie of Simeon,* 1.800* 1.801 the sworde of sor∣row pearsed her soule.* 1.802

252 HERE the soldiors

which crucified Christ, parted his garments among them and cast lotts for his seame∣les coate who should haue it,* 1.803 that the saying of the pro∣phet might be fulfilled,* 1.804 They parted my garments among them, and for my Vesture they did cast lottes.

253. HERE the dead Corpes

of Christ, being taken down from the Crosse,* 1.805 was deliuered to the blessed virgin Marie to be buried.

254 HERE

Christ meteth with the women,* 1.806 which retur∣ned from his Sepulcher toward Ierusalem, and salu∣teth them, who imbracing and kissing his feete woor∣shiped him.

255 HERE

Christ in the forme of a straunger,* 1.807 went with the two disciples toward Emaus:* 1.808 and in the way as

they wente together, hee interpreted Moses, and the Scriptures of all the prophets, which he proued to bee fulfilled in him.

THE PLACES ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE CITTIE.

256. THE tents of the Chaldaeans.

On this North part of the cittie,* 1.809 Nabuchodonozer kinge of Babilon, and the Chaldaeans,* 1.810 scaled the wals of Ierusalem, and wan it.

257 THE TENTS of the Romaines,

the which were pit∣ched betweene the Womans towers,* 1.811 and the tower PSEPHINA. On this parte, although inclosed and fortified with a triple wall, Titus and the Romains as∣sayled Ierusalem. For on this parte onely, the citty was sauteable. And albeit the other partes were compassed round about with one single wall onely, yet the same being very strong, and sette vppon stony and cragged rocks, and hauing also deepe valleies or trenches Im∣passable, were inexpugnable. Therefore they began to scale the first wall, which was the outermost and third wall of the cittie. After that they tooke in hand the se∣cond wall: And then the third wal of the cittie, which wall also called the old wall. Next they took the castle Antonia: And so the temple, which was fortified like a castle and last of all they entered mount Sion, of al the rest,* 1.812 the most strong. At what time also the Christians tooke this cittie in hand to win it, they began their en∣terprise on this part, anong whome Godfrey of Bullion was the first that entered the wal, nere vnto the gate of Ephraim, whose soldiors following the assalt like men,

opened immediately the sayde gate, and so wan the cittie. The which also the Saracens beseeging on the same parte, wan from the Christians.

258 THE HILL GAREE,

* 1.813 the which was neere to Ie∣rusalem one the north.

259 EREBINTH

was a little village on the north.* 1.814

260. GARDENS AND FEARMES,

* 1.815 inclosed with wals and hedges: where Titus taking a vew of the citty was in danger.

261 THE SEPVLCHER of Helene

Queene of the Adia∣bens (who vittailed Ierusalem in the time of the fa∣mine with wheat) the which she moste sumptuously builded with three pinacles,* 1.816 about three furlongs di∣stant from the cittie.* 1.817 Wherin she was buried with her son Isates:* 1.818 the which also was standing in the time of Eusebius and Hierom.

262 THE NORTH MOVNTAINE,

* 1.819 where Pompei pit∣ched his tents.

263 THE MONVMENT of Herod Agrippa:

* 1.820 who for his intollerable pride being striken by the angell of the Lord,* 1.821 and consumed of wormes, dyed.

264. SAPHA,

in Greeke called Scopos, that is to say, A place of espiall, situate towarde the north, distante from the cittie about seuen furlongs.* 1.822 It was so named, bycause from thence both the citty and temple might be seene. Here Iaddus the chiefe Priest, and the rest of the priests, in their priestly attire, and al the people clad in white garments, went foorth to meete Alexander the greate, kinge of the Macedonians, when hee came with his army to destroy Ierusalem. Whome when Alexander saw by and by suppressing his fury, in hum∣ble sort worshipped the name of God, which shined in goulden letters in the Reasonable of the high priest, and gaue reuerence to the high priest. Then ente∣ring into the Cittie and Temple, hee offered sacri∣fice to God, and graunted greate priuiledges vnto the Iewes.

265. THE FRVITEFVLL WOOD,

* 1.823 which Titus cau∣sed to be cut downe.

266 THE LAKE OF SERPENTS,

* 1.824 which in ould time was called Bethara.

267. THE WAY,

* 1.825 by which men went into Samaria and Galile.

268. THE VILLAGE

neere to Ierusalem,* 1.826 whereof Nee∣mia maketh mention.

THese (Christian Reader) are the most notable and famous places of the Citty and Temple of Ierusa∣lem. By the placing whereof, the scituation of the rest may easily be knowne. Therefore if wee haue made a true description, let the praise be giuen to God, the giuer of all good gifts. But if otherwise there bee any defect, impute that to my want of skill, and not to my ill will: who for that I was not able to giue towards the furnishing of the Temple, golde, siluer, or pretious stones, haue notwithstanding offered a little oyle to lighten the Church; trusting that the same will be ac∣ceptable, both to Christ,who allowed the twoe mites which the poore Widdow offered: & also to those that be good Christians, whom it becommeth well to be like vnto their hed CHRIST.
