if he be not louing dutifull and obedient vnto thée héere I giue thée a Canzhare that is a dagger to cut off his head And alwaies after those daughters or sisters of the King weare a broad and sharpe dagger and whensoeuer their husbands which are giuen vnto them by the King to be their slaues displease them they may and doe cut off their heads They exempt no calling from marriage but hold it a blessing from God to haue many children and the desire of many children maketh them take many wiues The Great Turke hath many hundred yea as I haue heard a thousand women only for his owne vse And yet as Augustus Caesar spake of Herod when he killed his owne two sonnes Alexander and Aristobulus with the infants of Bethlem rather than he would faile of his purpose in killing Christ It is better to bee Herods hogge than his sonne for his hogges liued but his sonnes died So it is better to be the Great Turkes hogge than his sonne for they being forbidden by their Law to eat swines flesh kill no hogges but all the sonnes of the Great Turke are strangled to death by their eldest brother after the death of their father to auoid treason A diuelish policie and like vnto that of Hatto a Bishop of Mentz or Magunce in Germanie who as the Cronicles mention 500. yéeres agoe in time of a great dearth called all the poore people in all the whole Country into a great barne pretending to make a great dole But hauing them sure enough he fired the barne and burnt them all vp saying These be the Rats and Mice which deuoure vp the corne This was his policie to make bread better cheape But for this vnmercifull mercie God made him an example for all vnmercifull men to the worlds end For a multitude of Rats came and deuoured him in such terrible sort that where his name was written in windowes walles or hangings they neuer ceased till it were razed out and droue him from house to house to saue his life And where he had a strong Tower in the middest of the great Riuer of Rhene which yet standeth there to be séene in the midst of the Riuer he thought himselfe sure if he could flie thither Notwithstanding the Rats swamme after him thither and there deuoured him And it is called the Rats tower to this day as Trauellers know and I my selfe haue séene this present yeere 1608. Iuly 7. It standeth on a little Jland in the midst of the Riuer of Ryne betwixt the Cities Mentz and Cullyn or Colonia néere vnto a Towne called Bingam on the one side of the Riuer and another Towne called Baccara on the other side the Riuer where is made the best Rhenish wine in all Almania Not far from Sanquer where there is a choller of iron fastened to a wall whereinto all fresh Trauellers are enforced by their company to put in their necks to make them frée and are enhansed at Bobar vsually or at Sanquer if they lodge there SVLTAN Mahomet this great Turkes father when he came to the Crowne put to death 19. of his brethren according to the custome of his predecessors as a wicked policie to preuent treason The Persians are yet somewhat better although too bad where the eldest sonne is king after the death of his father and all the rest of their brethren haue their eyes put out yet liue Other Turkes haue thrée wiues and haue as many women-slaues as they can kéepe whom they vse as wiues and esteeme them equall with their wiues The manner of their mariage is this First if a man like a yong woman he buyeth her of her father and giueth a great summne of money for her and then enrolleth her in the Cadies booke that hee hath bought her of her Father for his wife and then the friends feast and banket together and this is all they performe in mariage Onely the father of the yong woman giueth great store of houshold-stuffe with her and this is caried openly by particulars through the stréetes of the citie on horses or Cammels and sometime by men and women the parties newly maried going before with musicke playing before them Their eight Commandement is the same with our sixt 8. Thou shalt not kill In their Alcoran it is written that God hateth murther And they say that it is the second sinne which crept into the world after the creation being first committed by cursed Cain who killed his brother Abel And their beliefe is that this sinne of wilfull murther is impardonable But if it be by méere chance or in their owne defence or else in lawfull wars or in cases of iustice by the Maiestrate they hold it lawfull Often haue I heard Turkes brawle one with another and in words most vilely reuile one another but neuer did I sée or heare of two Turkes in their priuate quarrels strike one another neither dare they strike one another for if they do they are presently brought before the Maiestrate and seuerely punished Yea if one doe but lift vp his hand to strike another hée is cast into prison and kept in irons vntill he haue payed some great fine or receiued some other punishment But they will strike Iewes and Christians oftentimes who dare not strike them againe If a man in secret be killed and found dead either openly in the stréete or priuately in an house the master of the house or the parish where hee dwelleth must find out the murtherer otherwise hee himselfe shall be accused of murther and both he and the whole Contrado where hee dwelleth must pay vnto the Subbashaw so many hundred Dollers as shall be required at their hands And therefore the Subbashaws oftentimes being wicked men doe hire some desperate person to kill a man in the night that thereby he may take occasion to eat of the whole Contrado We had an English man not long since who sléeping on the Tarras that is on the top of the house in the night as the custome of the contrie is in the heate of Sommer who had his throat cut being asléepe in bed by two or thrée wicked men who came from the stréete by a ladder to the top of the house and after they had committed this murther being discried by the barking of a dog and séene also by the master of the house through his chamber windowwhere he slept but not plainely discerned being somewhat darke they made haste downe againe and were neuer knowen But on the morrow after the master of the house an English man also was in trouble himselfe because he could not find out the murtherers and it cost him an hundreth Dollers at the least before hee could bee fréed and the whole Contrado or Parish was also fined In like sort if an house be robbed he who is robbed must either finde out the thiefe or els he himselfe shall be troubled for it and put to a great fine If an house be but endangered

How the graues did open The dead bodies of Saints which slept arose The veile of the Temple did rent in twaine from the top of the bottome The earth did tremble and the stones did cleaue asunder These things declared that a notable person suffered The like alteration might be in the coldnesse of the aire and alteration of wether And although we read it not in expresse words yet since I haue séene Ierusalem it séemeth to me that it may be gathered from that place of the Gospell where it is said Simon Peter warmed himselfe For if we truly calculate the time the season of the yéere was hot ordinarily and Simon Peter at that season of the yéere was so cold that he was driuen to the fire and therefore it should séeme to be vnseasonable wether and extraordinarily cold These considerations haue satisfied my selfe howeuer they satisfie others vntill I heare or read some more sufficient reason Ierusalem is in Palestina It was the goodliest City that euer was in the East parts of the world It was first called Moria where Adam was created of the red earth of Moriah a Mount in Ierusalem which Moriah was one of the heads of Sion Hill where Isaac was offered as a figure of Christ the holy of holiest Gen. 22. 2. Which place was afterwards called Salem where Sem or Melchisedech dwelt where afterwards Isaac was offered and vpon his offering it was called Ierusalem Gen. 14. 18. where was the threshing place of Araunah the Iebusite and of old Ierusalem was also called Iebus 2. Sam. 24. 16. Where Salomon was commanded to build the Temple 2. Chron. 3. 1. And it was called Hieron Solomonis that is to say Solomons Temple And after by corruption Hierosolyma A particular declaration of such thing as we saw at Ierusalem diuided into three parts AFter we had rested one day at
