The Trauels of S. Paul when he was taken captiue and carried Prisoner to Rome.

IN the 57 yeare after the natiuitie of Christ, Paul being then 47 yeares of age, by the command of Claudius Lysius was taken and scourged by the Iewes, and brought thence to Antipatris by night (because there were forty Iewes which had sworne his death) which was 12 miles, Acts 22, 23, 24.

From Antipatris hee was brought to Caesarea Strato, which was 28 miles, where he was brought before Foelix (who was Pre∣sident for the Romans in those parts) and was captiue there for the space of two daies, Acts 24, 25, 26.

In the 59 yere after the natiuitie of Christ, Paul being then 49 yeares of age or thereabouts, was sent by Portius Festus President of the Iewes, to Rome: so Paul sailed from Caesarea Strato, to Si∣don, which was 84 miles, Acts 27.

From thence Paul sailed close by Cyprus, because the winde was contrarie, and came to the sea ouer against Cilicia (which was very troublesome) and so passing by Pamphilia they came to Myra, which was 480 miles.

Loosing from Myra they sailed to Gnidum, which was 248 miles, Acts 27.

From Gnidum they sailed towards the South, and came to Crete, and so passed by the townes of Salmo, Lasaea, and Assus, and so came to Phoenicia, which was 180 miles.

From Phoenicia they came to the Island of Claudia, which was 108 miles.

From the Island of Claudia they came to Melite, which now is called Malta; in which place they suffered shipwracke, and Paul shooke off the Viper off his hand into the fire, and did ma∣nie

other miracles, which was 720 miles.

From Malta they sailed in a ship of Alexandria, to Syracusus, in Sicilia, which was 180 miles: Paul at this time was 50 yeares of age, Acts 28.

From Syracusa they sailed to Regium, which was 52 miles.

From thence they went to Puteola, which was 164 miles.

From Puteola they went to Apiforum, which was 12 miles: there certaine Christians of Rome came to meet them, aboue 22 miles, and receiued Paul with great friendship.

From Apiforum they led him to Tribatera, which is six miles, and there he met more Christians.

From Tribatera he went to Rome, being 16 miles, where hee remained two yeares prisoner, and there wrote his Epistles to the Galathians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon, and the Hebrews: so all these Trauels were 2300 miles.

And in the whole, from his first beginning, vntill his being prisoner in Rome were, 10270 miles.

But being deliuertd out of prison, the last ten yeres of his age he did not only preach the Gospell in Asia and Creta, where he appointed his disciple Timothy to be a Bishop, and in Macedonia, (where being in Neapolis he wrote an Epistle to Titus, and sent it to him aboue 300 miles to the Isle of Creta) but also he preacht the Gospell, and spred the word of God abroad in the countrie of Spaine, Rom. 15. which is distant from Ierusalem 2800 miles: and being the second time imprisoned in Rome, he wrote his second Epist. to Timothy, & sent it aboue 996 miles to Ephesus: not long after, he was beheaded in Rome, in the place called Via Ostensi.
