Author quits his Turk more since I gave him a Letter to the Jew Abraham Rabbi to shew him that he had put me safe and found in Jerusalem as he had promised The Saturday following in the Evening some Pilgrims that were there and I went to the Holy Sepulchre to do our Devotions the Governour of the City having sent the Keys upon Request that was made to him being there were lately Pilgrims arrived and in entring the Church they cried to me Hada which is to say that I came the last for the others had been there already to do their Devotions some Days before and were minded to return there again upon this occasion Being there we went all in Procession and the Father Bucher a Cordelier made a Sermon shewing us every Place where our Saviour had suffered any Pain as the Place where is the Pillar to which he was tyed and scourged Then we went to the Holy Grave where he lay and was buried this is like a little Cupolo having within a great Number of lighted Lamps and an Altar where they say Mass which is upon the Sepulchre it self From thence we went to Mount Calvary and saw the Hole where the Cross was fasten'd which is garnished on the inside with Silver the Rock hard by is slit to the bottom there are some Signs of a Chapel below After having heard there a short Sermon we went to the Place where our Saviour was set having the Crown of Thorns upon his Head then where he was put Prisoner to wait for his Death and Passion where he was anointed which is a Stone of Marble as big as a ●omb compassed with Bars of Iron and in short all the Holy Places of Devotion which are within the Enclosure of the Holy Sepulchre After that at Break-of-Day I heard Mass in this Place of the Holy Sepulchre Confessing my self and Communicating as devoutly as I could in a Place so Holy and Venerable and that with so much Contentment and Satisfaction that I don't believe I ever received the like rendering infinite Thanks to my God for having preserved me from so many Perils and Dangers and for having brought me into this Holy Place here to do the Duties of a good Christian and Catholick Having thus finished my Devotions I returned back to the Monastery and after Dinner taking one of the Religious with one named Grand Fils a Parisian who was also there We went to the Street which is ca●led Dolorous Holy Place through which our Lord passed bearing his Cross we there saw the Place from whence Veronica threw the Linnen from her Door upon our Lord's Face then where Pilate said Ecce Homo and the Places where St. Paul was put into Prison where St. Stephen was Stoned where the Virgin Mary was Buried the Sepulchres of Joseph and St. Anne the Place or Mount of Olives where our Saviour ascended into Heaven leaving the Prints of his Feet in the Rock but at present there is nothing left but the print of his Left Foot the Turks having transported the Right into Solomon's Temple as I was there told Then the Place where our Lord wept over Jerusalem the Place where Judas hang'd himself where Lazarus was raised from the Dead where the Three Maries went to seek our Lord to desire him to come to see their Brother and the Stone is still to be seen which our Lord sate upon Then the Castle of Eniaus where he made the Feast where he healed the Blind where St. Peter wept for his Fault Then the Sepulchre of Absolon which is cut in the Rock like a Tower having upon it a Head of a wonderful bigness and there is a Window on the side towards the Valley of Jehosaphat through which they say the Children still cast Stones as they pass by out of disdain that Absolon had made War upon his Father Then the Place where our Lord fell into the Torrent of Cedron the Marks of his Arms and Hands still remaining upon the Rock Then where he was Interrogated u●der the Golden Gate where he was put in Prison in the House of Ann upon Mount Sion the Olive-Tree to which he was tyed which is still green and raised from the Ground round about the Greeks hold this Place Then the Stone of the Sepulchre the Place where St. James was Beheaded where Abraham would have sacrificed his Son Isaac which the Aethiopians keep and which is near to the Sepulchre In short all the other Holy Places which are in Jerusalem and thereabouts as they were shewed us by these Religious who conducted us Now for the City of Jerusalem as Jerusalem Described it is at this Day mightily diminished from what it formerly was it may be about as big as Blois and is situated upon a Heighth amongst Mountains not having any thing of plane but toward the side Jafa 'T is encompassed about with good Walls built not so much in compass as was the ancient City which was very great as the Circuit and Ruines do still shew They have left Mount Sion out to take in that of Calvary All the City is full of Ruines and ancient Vaults and inhabited by People of all Nations and Religions as Jews Greeks Latins Moors Turks The Governour of the City is called the Soubachin who depends upon the Bassa of Damascus The Temple of Solomon is built very great and high covered with Lead and gilded and all round about is built Places like Chapels It is built with Freestone This Place serves them for a Mosque where the Turks will not suffer either the Christians or Jews to enter The Country round about as all the rest of the Holy Land is incultivated and desart full of old Buildings and Ruines and is very stony In short it throughly feels all over and in every Place the grievous Curse of Almighty God for the Iniquities of the People whom he so loved for whose sake he render'd this Country the most Agreeable and Fruitful in the whole World This may serve for an Example to us Christians at this Day who do so badly observe his Holy Law to which by his Grace he has called us in the room of those whom he has cast off for their Disobedience and Ingratitude When I had satisfied my curious Devotion in all this I came back to the Monastery and the next Day I prepared for my Return taking a Mule of the Atelas and a Guide and Trucherman of the Christians who was a Greek to whom I gave Seven Sequins I then left Jerusalem on a Monday Parting from Jerusalem and passed through the Valley of Terebinte where David overcame Goliah In this Place we found a great Number of Cafars but the Atelas spake for me to them and so freed me from that Penalty From thence we passed by the House of Jeremiah from which runs a pleasant Fountain which Passengers drink of Then we came to Ramah Ramah a little City where we lodged at the French Consul's House and
