To the sincere lover of the peace of JERUSALEM, The Translator hereof wisheth increase of knowledge, and an improvement of that Talon here, to God's glory, and perpetual felicity in the world to come.  
FOrasmuch as (Noble Reader) Jerusalem, 
Act. 17. ●2.  the City of our God, even upon his holy mountain the joy of the whole earth, and the City of the great King, that fair and most ancient City, by a special Prerogative is by God himself beautified above all other Cities, and was therefore the chief, most noble and famous City of the world: Many Travellers and Pilgrims, have at sundry times, both in Maps and Histories, described the same. By the advantage of whose labours therein, now of late years, one Christian Adrichom, [Anno 1585.] hath performed a most lively description, and in the Latin tongue, enriched with divers Antiquities. The profit that might come hereby to my Countrymen of the vulgar sort, both for the better understanding of the story of the Bible, where Jerusalem, and the parts thereof are oftentimes mentioned, and also for the ready conceiving of Josephus his history, moved me to translate it into the English tongue: And the book thus translated, with the charts' expressed in natural colours, I have presumed to present unto your view. And because the Master-workman in this new plat of old decayed Jerusalem, hath left behind him some rubbish and relics of the Romish superstition; I have in some measure purged and swept the streets and corners of the same, with the broom of truth, and carrying them out by the Scoure-gate, or Dung-gate, have laid them on the Leystall of oblivion [and as for some that do yet remain, here is now left a purgation, by addition of Annotations.] My pains herein taken, though not so great, as the laying of Jerusalem's foundation, or the raising of a chief corner stone, or the squaring and finishing any part of this exquisite plat: yet such it is, as even in the meanest degree of a poor labourer, that doth but sweep the streets, I beseech you to accept as a small mite of my good will. The which I gladly offer, to the end that amidst the burdens and snares of your worldly affairs, you beholding this most brave City, adorned with so glorious a Temple, and contemplating the Passion of our Saviour Christ therein, may be delighted and recreated: And further, that viewing this terrestrial City, whose glory is now vanished, you may think still as the Apostle did say, Non habemus hic manentem civitatem [We have not here an abiding City, Heb. 13.14.] and so aspire to that heavenly Jerusalem, garnished, and full stored with all manner of delights, which abideth for ever; Wherein I do most humbly and hearty wish you a most happy residence, after you have performed your short course in this life, in the service of your God, and of your friends and Country, and the general benefit, and comfort of your own soul.   

THE PREFACE.  By the Author Chri. Andric. 
FOrsomuch as the truth of History, is the foundation of faith, and of spiritual understanding (Christian Reader) and the history of things done, blind, 
Hieron. Tom. 3. Epis. 27. ad Dard.  and imperfect, without the knowledge of places, the which knowledge giveth much light, both to the truth of History, and also to the spiritual interpretation thereof; 
The scope of this Book.  therefore I have thought good to observe two things with great diligence in this work. First, that I might portray and set forth the true and lively Image of Jerusalem, of all other Cities the most glorious and famous throughout the whole world, whereof mention is made in sacred and in profane histories, as it flourished in Christ his time; and also the form of the Temple (the fame whereof hath been extolled above the heavens, and was worthy of eternal memory) by the sacred Scriptures, by approved Writers, and by ancient tradition of faithful and trusty men, in a lively plot, or Map, most exquisitely drawn, together with the names, originals, situations, and forms of every place, and the most worthy Histories concerning the same, with all brevity. Secondly, that I might rightly dispose the places of Christ his Passion, and represent every thing which he suffered in every place, even as if they were now done before our eyes, and so represented, that I might explain it with plainness and brevity. For hereby all those things which he suffered for our sakes, will be both more plainly understood, and also more profitably remembered. But peradventure there will be some which will mislike this our endeavour, and the rather because we have many things by tradition of Elders; to whom I answer out of Hierom, where he saith, That Ecclesiastical traditions, which are no hindrance to faith, are so to be kept, as they were delivered by the Ancients. In the mean time I will not say, that they are too rash, and too too wicked, which will deny that thing, 
Hier. Tom. 1. Epist. 28. ad L●cinium.  which hath been godly received at all times, and of all men. So many of us therefore as are washed with the blood of Christ, do bear his name, and are called Christians, if our faith the answering to our name, and our life, not disagreeing from the truth, hoping to be saved by the merits and grace of Christ our Saviour, let us believe that, which incorrupt and reverend Antiquity hath left, let us in no wise depart from those things [which our Ancestors have celebrated without any superstition, &] which by the consent of the whole world, are come even from them to our hands, and with thankful godliness, and godly thankfulness, let us call to mind those places oftentimes, which may put us in remembrance of the Passion of Christ; to which places this Map will lead us, as it were by the hand; and with the eyes of faith, and of our mind, let us look upon the same Son of God, and inwardly behold him, who being urged with the great love of our salvation, having finished his last Supper in the Parlour of Zion, 
[The sum of Christ's Passion.]  and being come into the Garden of Olivet, prayed and sweat blood, through the anguish and grievous consideration of the imminent afflictions. Immediately he was betrayed by the most wicked Judas; he was taken, bound, and thrust forward by the Jews, even as a Lamb by the Wolves, most cruelly amidst the noise of clamours and weapons, and then was lead to the house of Anna the high Priest; There he was stricken; from thence he was drawn to the Palace of Caiphas; in the same he was falsely accused, condemned, spit upon, blindfolded, buffeted with fists, and sundry ways all the night scorned and afflicted. In the morning he was violently carried through the midst of the City to the house of Pilate. From thence he was lead to the Palace of Herod, and accused again, despised of him, mocked, and apparelled like a fool in a white garment, and brought back again by another way of the City to Pilate. There again he was accused of many faults, stripped, and grievously whipped, clothed with purple, crowned with thorns, diversely derided, spit upon, buffeted with fists, and stricken with a reed, and being thus misused, was made a gazing stock to the people, and adjudged to death. Then he was loaden with a heavy Cross, and in the sight of all the people, with grievous and bloody steps he was drawn, punched, and urged by the furious violence of the soldiers, through a great part of the City, and by the gate of Judgement out of the City, by a hard and stony way, even unto mount Calvary. And being come thither he was stripped again, and being both faint and weary, was refreshed with gall instead of drink; and about high-noon he was fastened to the Cross, and so lifted up on high; and hanging on the cross by the space of three hours, was derided with taunts and reproachful words; being thirsty, they gave him vinegar to drink. Finally, he which could save the world with one drop of his blood, would needs bestow upon us by the five rivers of his wounds, his life, with all his blood. A figure hereof was that Brazenserpent, 
Num. 21.3. joh. 3.14.  which Moses caused to be exalted in the wilderness. To this spectacle also our heavenly Father calleth every faithful soul, 
Cant. 3.11.  Come forth (saith he) ye daughters of Zion, and see King Solomon; Nay one far greater than Solomon. In like manner Christ hanging on the Cross cryeth out, 
Lam. of jer. 1.12  O all ye which pass by the way, behold, and see, if there be any sorrow and grief like mine.  
And not only to the consideration and meditation of these things, but also to the imitation, God in the holy Scripture exhorteth us in these words (spiritually interpreted) saying, Look, and make all things according to the example or fashion which was showed thee in the Mount. 
Exod 25.40. Heb. 8.5.  For all the precepts of life, which our Saviour taught all the time of his preaching, 
The best book is christ's pattern.  as well by word, as by example, the same he expressed in himself in one day of his passion; wherefore if we would follow Christ, not only in word, but also in work; we may, by his lively crucifying on mount Calvary, as it were out of a golden book, 
Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. joh. 19.20.  entitled with the noble title of Three most principal languages, written with the quills of the spear, of the nails, of the thorns, and of the whips, in the most pure parchment of the Immaculate Lamb, and with the purple blood of the same, both learned and unlearned, learn easily and briefly perfect Theology, the most wholesome remedies of Physic, the full knowledge of Law, and of Justice, the science of liberal Arts, of true humility, of obedience, of piety, of charity, of patience; finally of all manner of virtues, and of things most perfect; and may also be inflamed and drawn to love and follow Christ. Thus the blessed Virgin, standing near to the Cross of Christ, did not only with bodily eyes, but also in heart, through faith (which wavered not in her) behold the wounds of her Son, and seriously thinking thereon, was so comforted, 
Ambros. in Luc. cap. 23. john 19  that now (as Ambrose saith) she was prepared also to die for the good of mankind. So S. John both seeing the side of Christ opened with a spear, blood with water coming forth of the same, and so giving testimony thereunto, did by the meditation thereof so greatly profit, 
Luk. 23. Hier. Tom. 1. Epist. 13. ad Paulinum. Mar. 15.  that at the last he became a most perfect divine, and a soaring Eagle to behold the most holy, and blessed God the Father in the Son. So the Thief, when he saw and heard Christ Jesus crucified, incontinently turned unto Christ, and confessing him, he made the punishment of murder, Martyrdom, and changed the Cross for Paradise. So also the Centurion by this spectacle, received so great strength of faith, that under the Cross he was made a famous Confessor of Christ; and further (as chrysostom saith) was afterward crowned with Martyrdom: Moreover Thomas beholding and touching the wounds of Christ crucified, was so illuminated with faith, 
Chrys. in Mat. c. 27.  that he plainly and openly professed Christ, 
john 30. 27.2●  to be both his Lord, and his God.  
This being so, and love procuring love, even as the Loadstone draweth Iron; who is he, I pray you, whom so vehement love of Christ, nay rather a heat and flame will not affect, kindle, and set on fire? Who is he, when at the death of Christ all creatures do suffer with him, the Sun darkened, 
Mat. 27. 45.5●.  the vail of the Temple rend in sunder, the earth quaking, Rocks breaking, graves opening, and the dead arising; Who, and what is he (I say) that will not wonder, and that will not be abashed? Only Adam's children, for whose cause he died, are not moved with this so great a benefit.  
The Adamant, that most hard stone, is mollified with the blood of a Goat; Iron with the heat of fire is made soft; 
Heb. 8.10.  but the hearts of Christians, more hard than Adamant or Iron, are not mollified with the blood and fire of Christ, but do crucify a fresh unto themselves the Son of God, and do tread under their feet the blood of the Testament.  
What I pray you can be more beseeming, more meet, more just, and more profitable for us, then to love again him that so loveth us; and imitate him whom we love? For if any thing herein seem hard, if any thing grievous, that thing, love (the sweet yoke of the Lord) maketh light and easy; 
1 Joh. 5.3.  for all labour is light, to him that loveth, according to that notable sentence of that ancient Gregory, 
Greg. Epist.  Nihil adeo grave est, quod non aequanimiter toleretur, si Christi passio ad memoriam reducatur. There is nothing so heavy and burdensome, but the same is willingly born, if so be the Passion of Christ be remembered.  
For we will endure all things with patience as light and easy, 
Heb. 12.2, 3▪  if we call to mind what hard words, harder stripes, and most hard pains and afflictions he suffered for us, whose head was crowned with thorns, his eyes blindfolded, his ears filled with reproaches, his mouth with gall and vinegar, his face polluted with spitting, his cheeks bruised with buffeting, his knees shaking, his shoulders laden with the Cross, his heart replenished with sorrow, his body torn with whips, his members racked, his hands and feet bored; to be brief, from the crown of the head, to the sols of the foot, he sustained an innumerable sort of wounds and sorrows. Wherefore as the waters of Mara, being sometimes bitter, were made sweet by Moses, 
Exod. 15.25.  at what time he cast wood into them; even so all our tribulation, if we patiently endure the Cross of Christ, will wax sweet, and the gall thereof will turn into honey. For by the meditations of these afflictions of our Saviour, faith is illuminated, hope strengthened, charity inflamed, and all virtue increased. Wherefore holy Augustine, a light of the Church, no less truly then godly, provoking us by very forceable words thereunto; saith thus, Behold the wounds of him that hangeth, 
August. in lib. de virginitate  the blood of him that dyeth, the price of the redeemer, the scars of him that riseth; His head boweth to kiss thee, his heart is opened to love thee, his arms stretched abroad to embrace thee, his whole body set forth to redeem thee. Consider what, and how great these things be, weigh them in the balance of your hearts, that he may be wholly fastened in your hearts, who for us was wholly fastened on the Cross. Thus far Augustine. So that it is not enough to meditate of these things once, but it is profitable to think upon them often; yea the oftener, the more they avail and profit. In the wholesome contemplation of whose Passion, although we profit much, yet we shall never attain to the perfect knowledge thereof, but there will remain still somewhat that we may seek for, the full knowledge whereof is reserved to our heavenly Country. In the mean time, let us contemplate in these things day and night; in these things let us recreate and busy ourselves. In these let us watch, in these let us sleep, yea to die in the meditation of these things, is most Christian, and available to everlasting salvation.  
Places of holy Scripture to the praise of Jerusalem.  
[Psal. 48.2. Beautiful for situation the joy of the whole earth is Mount Zion, in the sides of the North, it is the City of the great King.]  
Lam. 11.15. Is this the City of perfect beauty, the joy of the whole earth.  
Ezech. 5.5. This is Jerusalem, I have set it in the midst of the Nations and Countries, that are round about her.  
2 Cor. 7.12. I have chosen this place for myself, to be a house of sacrifice.  
Isa. 2.3. Mich. 4.2. The Law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.  
Apoc. 21.9. I saw the holy City, New Jerusalem, come down from God out of Heaven prepared as a bride trimmed for her husband.  
To these agreeth Tobit 13. v. 9, 10.18. O Jerusalem the holy City, many Nations, shall come from far to the name of the Lord God, with gifts in their hands, even gifts to the King of heaven; all Generations shall praise thee, and give signs of joy. Cursed are all they which hate thee, but blessed are they for ever which love thee. Rejoice and be glad for the children of the just, for they shall be gathered, and shall bless the Lord for the just. Blessed are they which love thee, for they shall rejoice in thy peace. Blessed are they which have been sorrowful for all thy scourges; for they shall rejoice for thee, when they shall see all thy glory, and shall rejoice for ever. Let my soul bless God the great King; for Jerusalem shall be built up with Saphires and Emeralds, and thy walls with precious stones, and thy Towers, and thy Bulwarks with pure gold. And the streets of Jerusalem shall be paved with Beril, and Carbuncle, and stones of Ophir. And all her streets shall say, Hallelujah, and they shall praise him saying, Blessed be God which hath extolled it for ever.   

SEVEN GENERAL RULES For Expounding Scriptures that speak of Christ's coming, and Kingdom, and Judging, and of destroying Babylon; and of the calling of the Jews, and Israel.  
I. AS the Truth of God is fulfilled, both by the outward work, by which he appears in the World, and by the secret Mystery by which he reveals himself in, and to the Spirits of his Saints, (which too answer one another:) So in the Testimony of the Scripture, there is frequently, not only the History in the Letter, but a Spiritual Mystery in the sense thereof, as is clear in that of Hagar and Sarah, Gal. 4. And of the Rock and Manna, and of Melchisedech, etc. 1 Cor. 10.3, 4. Heb. 7.1, 2.  
II. In all Scriptural Interpretations, the Analogy of Faith is to be respected, Rom. 12.5. That is, Undeniable principles of Truth clearly held out in other Scriptures, which have a special proportion to the place which is to be interpreted, according to which, the sense thereof must needs be.  
III. And hence, as Christ's coming and judging imply sometimes some special manifestation of him, and sometimes his personal coming at his Incarnation, or that second coming that shall be at the restoring of all things, (Heb. 9.28. Acts 3.19, 20, 21. with Rom. 11.26. and Isa. 59.29. So some of such Prophecies are appliable to both his come, and to several times of his manifestation, Mal. 3.1, 2, 6. Matth. 16.20. with Mark 9.1, 2. Joh. 6.18. Zach. 14.1, 4. Psal. 97.98, last verses.  
iv As there is Babylon and Egypt Mystical▪ as well as Literal, (Revel. 17.4. & 11.8.) So some Prophecies (as Psal. 137. Jer. 50. & 51.) seem appliable to the sin and ruin of both those Babylon's.  
V As there are Jews and Israel, seed of Abraham, as well spiritual as natural, Rom. 2.3 last verses, Gal. 6.17. Rom 9.6. So some Prophecies of Israel's sins, punishments, and merciful restore, are appliable to both Zion and Jerusalem, Gal. 4. ult. Isa. 54. with Isa. 51.52. & 53 chapters.  
VI As both of Natural and Spiritual Israel, there was a First-fruits to God in the Apostles days; and there is a Harvest that is to come (Rom. 11.16. Jam. 1.18. Revel. 14.4.) So some Prophecies of glorious Blessings are appliable to both times, and are fulfilled already to the First-fruits, in a less degree, that are to be fulfilled at the Harvest plenteously, and very gloriously, Rom. 15.4. 2 Tim. 3.16. 2 Cor. 5.17, 18. from Isa. 43.18, 19 with Revel. 21.1, 5. Jer. 31.31. with Heb. 8.8. and 1 Cor. 11.25. and Rom. 11.12, 15, 26, 27. Luke 1.31, 32. Hos. 3.4 5. Ezek. 37.24, 28.  
VII. All Holy Scriptures (and therefore all those Scriptures that foretell the calling of the Jews, the fall of Babylon and Antichrist, and the come of Christ) are inspired of God, and are profitable in all Ages, for Instruction, for Conviction, for Reformation, and for leading on in Righteousness, 2 Tim. 3.16. Rom. 15.4 1 Cor. 10.6, 11.   

A Preparation to a more full Explanation of the Emblem 
† Page 4.  of the Lion Couchant, over the Earth's Globe, under Two Crowns, become one, etc. By Seven Propositions.  
1. ALL the Posterity of jacob's Twelve Sons, are often called Israel: 
2 Sam. 5.5. 1 King. 11.26, 42.  The Judges, Saul, David, and Solomon, ruled over all; they then being but one Kingdom.  
2. Under Rehoboam, Solomon's Son, 
1 Kings 12.20 2 Chro. 13.4, 15. Isa. 7.1, 9 Hos. 5.13, 14. & 6.4. & 7.1, 8, 11.  Ten Tribes rend from him under Jeroboam (who was of Ephraim, which was the greatest of the Ten Tribes.) Thus the Kings that succeeded Jeroboam were called Kings of Israel, and reigned (for most part) in Samaria, and that people are oft called Ephraim, from the principal Tribe: The successors of David's seed, were called Kings of Judah, and they reigned in Jerusalem.  
3. Before Ezekiel's prophecy, Israel were carried captive by the Assyrians, into Assyria, and Media, and other Eastern Countries, 2 Kings 17.6. with Ezek 1.2. & 40.1.  
4. In Ezekiel's days, Judah was captived by the Chaldeans, or Babylonians, for seventy years, Jer. 25.11. and then returned from their captivity, Dan. 9.1, 23, 24. Ezra 1.1, 2, 3.  
5. Babylon being vanquished by Medes and Persians, and these by the Grecians under Alexander (whose Kingdom was divided amongst his four Grand Captains, of which, the South and North obtained all at the last) The Grecians were vanquished by the Romans above forty years before Christ's Nativity.  
6. Hence after the Jews returned from the captivity of Babylon, 
Dan. 2.32, 33, 38. to 46.  (that Head of Gold, in daniel's Image;) they remained (as in captivity) under the Medes and Persians, (the Breast and Arms of Silver.) Nehe. 9.32, 36, 37. And then under the Grecians (that Belly and Thighs of Brass;) and last, under the Romans, [those Legs of Iron (the Eastern and Western Empires,) and Feet of Iron and Clay,] which end in Ten Toes, so in Ten Kings, Revel. 17.12, 13.  
7. Under this last (and longest) captivity, they are (and so they account of it) still, unto this day. From this Fourth Monarchy that captived them, they shall shortly be restored by Jesus the Messiah, who will destroy all their enemies, and will set up the Fift Monarchy, that is held forth in the Emblem, which shall never be destroyed; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these Kingdoms, and it (as a Mountain) shall stand for ever, Dan. 2.34, 45.   

The Explanation itself, according to the Letters A B C D E F G H I that are in the Emblem at the top of the Map of Jerusalem.  
TWo Sticks; 
A B  (A) for Judah; (B) for Israel; These two Kingdoms, 
C  (C) shall become one Kingdom under Christ, 
Ezek. 37.15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 22.  as in Ezek. 37.15, 16, 17. The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, Take thee one stick, and write upon it; 
A  For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions. 
B  Then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph the stick of Ephraim (joseph's son) and for all the house of Israel his companions. 
C  And join them one to another into one stick, and they shall become one in thine hand. Vers. 19 I will put Israel's stick with the stick of Judah, they shall be one in mine hand. Vers. 21. And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the Heathen whether they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own Land. And I will make them one Nation in the Land; and they shall not be divided into two Kingdoms any more at all: Vers. 23. Nor shall they defile themselves any more with Idols. Vers. 24: And David my servant shall be King over them, and they shall all have one Shepherd. Vers. 25. For ever.  
This is meant of the Reign of Christ, who is called The Lion of the Tribe of Judah, 
D  the Root of David, (Revel. 5.5.) Of whom Jacob foretold; saying, Judah is a Lion's whelp; he couched as a Lion, and as an old Lion; who shall rouse him up? Gen 49.9.  
He is called a Rod out of the stem of Jessei, 
E  and a Branch growing out of his root, Isa. 11.1.  
Also a Star out of Jacob, 
F  and a Sceptre that should rise out Of Israel; 
G  who shall smite thorough the corners of Moab (typing Antichrist) and shall unwal all the children of Sheth, (that is, All Nations; For all came of Noah, and he of Adam, Sheth, 
H  Aenosh, etc.) Numb. 24.17. He shall strike thorough Kings: He shall wound the head over many Countries (Antichrist.) Psal. 110.5, 6. Revel. 19.15, 20. He shall break in pieces the Oppressor. All Kings shall worship him, all Nations shall serve him; Men shall be blessed in him. Psal. 72.4, 11, 17. Yea all Nations, all the Families of the Earth, even to the ends of the Earth, shall be blessed in him, and shall call him blessed. Gen 22 18. & 28.14. Acts 3.25. Psal. 2.8. & 67.47. All, that is, The generality of those that survive, after the great slaughters that shall be in the Earth; many of each of those seventy Families of Noah, that became of seventy Languages, Gen. 10.1, 5, 31. & 11.1, 9 Zach. 13.8, 9 Psal. 46.8, 9 Mal. 4.1, 2, 3. Zeph. 3.8. Isa. 24.3, 18, 21. & 26.21. & 27.1, 7. & 34.6. Then shall all worship the Lord, with one consent, Zeph. 3.9. Then swords shall be turned into ploughshares, and wars shall all cease, Micah 4 3. Isa. 2 4. Psal. 46.9. Then Jerusalem shall have peace, and be the praise of the Earth, Psal. 128.5. Isa. 62.7. And both it, and all Cities shall be without walls, Ezek. 38.11. Num. 24.17.  
Then the great Dragon, the old Serpent, called the Devil, 
H  and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world, shall be bruised under the feet of his people, and shall be cast out, Rom. 16.20. (Revel. 12.9.) That he may deceive the Nations no more, till a thousand years shall be fulfilled; and after that, he must be loosed a little season, Revel. 20.1, 2, 3. And the Martyrs, or Witnesses of Christ against Antichristianism, being raised, shall reign with Christ those thousand years. But the rest of the dead live not again, until those thousand years shall be finished, that is, the first Resurrection. Blessed and holy are all such unto days of eternity, Rev 4.5, 6. See that place.  
The Spirit, and the Bride say, Come; and let him that heareth say, Come. He that testifieth these things, saith, Surely, I come quickly; Amen, Even so, come Lord Jesus.

The Reasons why some Traditions of Relics are forborn in the Translation; and why some are published.  
IT is to be granted, that this Breidenbach, Brocard, Pasch, Saligniac, (as also Tyren) were Roman Catholics, and that they desired the promoting of their Religion; a great part whereof, is, in visiting of Saints Relics; and they received from their Ancestors many Traditions, which they respect and uphold as much, as, yea, more than the Word of God itself.  
Hence several such Passages that were in the Latin, are left out by the Translator; as that of Veronica's Neckerchere, 
† Or Section 42. of the Book.  Numb. 42 and of Pelagia's House: So also this about Helen's finding the Cross, by the wonderful smell or odor of the Spices and Ointments, which the Earth sent forth: By which miracle, that venerable Empress was confirmed, say those Popish Authors (in Number 240.) Which argues. That the Women anointed Christ's Body with that precious Ointment or Odours upon the Cross: For that anointing of Christ's feet, was six or seven days before Christ's death, Joh. 12.1, 2. Whereas the Scriptures show most plainly, That the Women bought not those Spices for Ointments and Odours to Christ's Body, until Christ was taken from the Cross, and buried: Which Odours they brought, not to the empty Cross, but to the Garden where Christ was buried, some way distant from the Cross; and there they would have anointed him, but did not, because Christ was risen before they came, Luke 23.53, 56. & 24.1. Matth. 27.57. & 28.1, 2. Mark 16.1, 2, 6.  
Hence the Translator forbears this, and divers of such vain Traditions, as tend to make the Word of God of none effect (Matth. 15.6, 9) some of them remain, that the Reader may know, in what place the Relickmongers will show such and such things, which never were there; as the Note added from Holy Scriptures, makes evident. Which Note being observed in love to the truth, may tend to prevent that dreadful doom of the damnable deceivers and deceived, denounced in 2 Thes. 2.10, 12. With all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause, God shall send them strong delusions, that they should believe a lie; that they all might be damned, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. I could name one whom I knew, noted for miserable covetousness, when in sickness he prevailed not to be absolved by a Minister, was prevailed with by a Priest that (it jeems) absolved him, to visit Saint Anne of Buxtons Well; which he did, and returned a confirmed Papist, by this lying strong delusion; which he (poor wretch) believed, viz. That he was showed, and saw the very Well itself, into which Saint Anne's head fell, being cut off by a villain that would have abused ber. Her Brother hearing of it, came after Mass was ended, took his sister's head, and put it right upon her neck and presently she revived. I saw the Well itself, where this was done, said he.  
This warning is premised, That by being forewarned, thou mayst be fore-armed against the poison of such Basilisks, and mayst tread such Serpents under thy feet. Remembering 2 Thes. 2.10. Many things are here truly recorded from Holy Scriptures, and Josephus, and Jerom, and others, cited by those men. But can any good come out of Galilee; or shall we receive truth from Papists? Answ. Truth is more precious than Silver, or Gold, or Rubies. Can you be content to take up Silver, or Gold, or precious Pearls, though you espy then on a Dunghill, or in the Kennel? Then disdain not to own Truth, which is far more excellent, wheresoever you can espy it: Only look up to the God of all grace, who hath given us his own Son, to be our Way, Truth, and Life; that he would reveal his Son to us, and in us; that by him we may savingly know, and love the truth, as it is in Jesus; and may by his light, discern and abhor every false way. Try all things (that are held out for truths) hold fast that which is good; (as the noble Bereans did, to their souls everlasting benefit, Acts 17.11.) and abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly, 1 Thes. 5.21, 22, 23. This is the humble request of  
Thy souls wel-wishing Friend, H. Jessey.   

T. N. To the Christian loving Reader, of the Use and Benefit of this Pithy Treatise.  
THat Stately place, that Princely bower,  
that Seat of mighty King: 
Psal 48.2. Iosh. 18.28.   
That flower of Be njamin his Tribe,  
whose fame through World did ring.  
Ennobled with such Royal styles,  
and titles of renown;  
And over worldly Cities all  
most meet to wear the Crown,  
Lo, here presented is to view  
in such good currant sort,  
As no Pen heretofore performed,  
or made thereof report.  
So that we need not now to run,  
or gad from place to place,  
In dangers great, through countries' strange,  
to try or know this case.  
That brave estate which erst it had,  
is now (alas) defaced.  
King David's house, 
1 Chro. 11.4, 7  and Temple now  
is quite and clean disgraced.  
Yet here with Book and Map in hand,  
we now may plain behold  
The state of each thing as it was,  
in times that were of old.  
Where Christ did preach, where Christ did sup,  
where Christ did fast and pray,  
Where Christ was caught where Christ was whipped,  
where thiefs did him betray. 
Matth. 26.27.   
Where he a precious ransom paid  
for man, who had offended;  
Where he was Buried, where he Risen,  
and eke where he Ascended;  
Where Annas kept his pompous Court,  
where Caiph as Palace stood;  
Where wicked Pilate dwelled, that did  
condemn most guiltless blood.  
This and much more is here discoursed  
from some, that both had read,  
And seen with eye, the City rare,  
that's here deciphered.  
This work and pains, as they deserve,  
much thanks and hearty praife.  
So such their Guerdon well may reap,  
of all men in these days.  
Who like to Candles waste themselves,  
in giving light to others:  
More such, God grant to take like care,  
to help their Christian Brothers.   

A brief Description and Explanation of Two hundred sixty and eight places of Jerusalem, and the Suburbs thereof, as it flourished in the time of CHRIST.  
Answerable to the same Figures that are Engraven in the Map thereof.  
I. Erusalem, the choice City of God, 
The Original places from whence this Commentary is taken, and where more is to be read. Psalm 48.2. & 87.1, 2, 3. Matth 4.5. Psal. 74.27.  holy and most glorious, built upon the holy Mountains, excelling all the Cities of the World; as well by the loftiness of the Seat, as by the moderation and temperature of the Heavens, and fruitfulness of Soil, was situated in the midst of the whole World, and of Judea, as it were in the very Centre and Heart of the Earth; and being as a Queen amongst all other Neighbour Cities, had the pre-eminence as the Head over the Body, 
Ezek. 5.5.  and shined as the Sun above others in sumptuous and glorious Buildings: Having such surpassing excellency, she was by a certain singular privilege in time past, 
Joseph. Lib. 3. de Bello judaico. cap. 2. Deut. 16.17. Psal. 48.2. Lam. 2.5.  the only place which God had chosen to himself; and was a figure not only of every faithful man's soul, but also of the Elect Church of Christ Militant upon Earth, and of that blessed Triumphant Church in Heaven. A City of perfect Beauty, the Virgin of the World, the Paragon of all the East, and the joy and rejoicing of the whole Earth.  
This City was builded (as some judge) about the year from the Creation of the World, Two thousand twenty and three, in the time of Abraham, 
Gen 14.18. Joseph. 7. Antiq. jud. cap 7. & l. 7. Belli jud. c. 18, 28. Gen. 10. Iosh. 15.8. Judg. 1.19. 2 Sam. 5.5. 1 Chron. 11.4, 7.  by Melchisedec the King: In Hebrew it was called Salem, and in Greek Solyma; and it seemeth, that he possessed the same Fifty years. The which afterwards the Jebusites enjoyed, who sprang from Jebusi, the Son of Canaan; of whom it was called for a time Jebus, and Jebusaeum, at what time Joshua slew the King thereof. And the Jebusites held the same, Eight hundred twenty and four years, who trusted so much to the strength of their City, that when King David assailed the same, in contempt tof him, and of his Army, they placed upon their Walls, the blind, the halt, and the maimed, saying, That these were sufficient to beat back the Enemy.  
But when David, through God's help, enjoyed the City; the Jebusites being expulsed, 
Joseph. l. 7. Antiq. cap. 3. Jerom. Tom. 3. de loc. Hebr. lit. i. Euseb. Evang Praep. l. 9 1 King. 3.5, 6, 9, 10, etc. See Number CXXIV. Joseph. lib. 8. Antiq. cap. 2. & 5.  he re-edified the same round, fortified it with a Castle, dwelled therein, and made it the Metropolitan City of the whole Province of Judea, and the Head of all the Kingdom; and from thenceforth, called it Jerusalem, as it were, Jebussalem the letter B (to make the better sound) turned into R. [Or rather from Jireh and Salem, Gen. 18.2, 14. with 2 Chro. 3.1.] Notwithstanding, there are some which writ, That it is called Jerusalem, of the magnificent Temple which Solomon built therein, as it were, Hieron Solomonis. For the Greeks call a Temple 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, Hieron. In continuance of time, Solomon and other Kings of Judea, greatly enlarged the same, and so fortified it with most strong Gates, Towers, Walls, and Trenches, and so adorned it with a Temple, with Palaces, and with most exquisite Buildings; that among other Cities, 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. It stood in the Tribe of Benjamin, Josh. 18.28. Some borders of it were in Judah, Josh. 15.8. In this glory and excellency, Jerusalem flourished Four hundred seventy and seven years, 
joseph. con. Appion. lib. 1. Strabo Geograph. l. 16.  as if it had been an Earthly Paradise, being in compass round about, Six miles and two hundred and fifty paces. And by the Wall and circuit of the City, there was a Stony Trench or Vault Threescore foot deep, and in breadth Two hundred and fifty, wherein was abiding about One hundred and fifty thousand men. But when the wickedness of the Princes and People, not only had profaned the Temple, 
2 Kings 16.21, 24, 25. 2 Chro. 28.33, 36.  with the abominations of Idols, but also had filled the City even to the full with innocent blood, most cruelly shed; the City together with the Temple, Princes, and people by the just vengeance of God, was by Nabuchodonozer, 
Micah 3. Jere. 25.26, 29, & 52.  King of Babylon (but God's whip) so utterly overthrown, and desolated Threescore and ten years, that Zion was ploughed up like a field, and Jerusalem was become as a heap of stones, and the Mountain of the Temple, as it were the height and top of Woods; so as in the mean time (as Jerom witnesseth) that neither so much as a Bird, 
Hier. Tom. 3. Trad. Heb. in 2 Chro. 15.  nor a Beast, could fly, or pass through the same.  
Afterwards the Temple only being with much a do, and very hardly builded, wanting Gates, Towers, and Walls, was inhabited again by the Jews (returning out of the captivity of Babylon) Threescore years.  
Moreover, within the space of Two and fifty days, 
Esdr. 1.2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Nehe. 1.2, 3, 4.5, 6, 7, etc. 1 Mac. 12.13. & 14. joseph. 6. Bel. 6. joseph. 1. Bel. 13. etc.  Nehemiah enclosed it in compass Three miles and seven hundred and fifty paces, with Gates, Towers, and a strong Wall; and afterward, the same being beautified by the Maccabees, by Herod, and by others very stately, with public and private Buildings, recovered the former dignity, being very famous and populous by the space of Five hundred four and twenty years; having in it many narrow Streets, by reason of the exceeding number of Houses therein: At what time there, as in a Theatre, Jesus Christ wrought our Salvation; and from thence, 
Isa. 2.4. Micah 4. Acts 2.1. Mark 16. Psal. 18. joseph. 6. Bel. 13. & 7. Bel. 14.17. & 18.  as from a Centre, the Apostles spread forth the Evangelical Doctrine throughout the World.  
But Titus, Emperor of Rome, being brought by the just judgement of God, to take vengeance for the death of Christ, the Thirty and eighth year after his Passion, besieged it round, casting a bank about it; and shut up the Jews in the City, as in a prison, which came out of every Tribe to celebrate the Feast of Passover there. Whereupon that City, the wonder of the World, was made a Den of thiefs, and a Sepulchre of dead men: For by reason of civil murders, famine, pestilence, and sword, there perished in the same Eleven hundred thousand Jews. And as for the City itself, Titus did so utterly subvert it, that men which came unto it, would scarce believe that ever it had been inhabited. Nevertheless, he left three principal Herodian Towers, that is to say, Hippic, Mariam, and Phasel, which were more notable than the rest, as well for greatness, as for beauty; and that part of the City's Wall, which compassed them from the West, unshaken; to the end, that both it might be a Castle for the Roman Soldiers, which should be left there for a Garrison, and also to show unto posterity what manner of City, 
Luke 19.41. Euseb. in Chro. & Hist. Eccles. l. 4. c. 6.  and how well fortified, the force of the Romans had subdued. But after threescore and five years, the Jews rebelling again, Aelius Adrianus the Emperor slew many thousands of them, and utterly subverted those Towers, with the remainder of the Wall, and commanded the City to be strewed with Salt; 
Hier. in loc. Act. Apost. lib. H. Niceph. 3. Hist. Eccles. 14. Broca. in Descrip. locorum terrae sanctae, itinere. 6.  whereby it came to pass according to the prophecy of Christ, That there was not left one stone of the City upon a stone. And building the City again in less compass, he excluded Mount Zion, with the Palace of Solomon, and that of the Queen, and the House of the Forest of Libanus; also the Gate of the North corner, and the Tents of the Assyrians; and all the North part, even to the Dung Gate, and to the Gate of Ephraim: But the Mount of Calvary, and the Sepulchre of the Lord, which were aforetime without the Walls, he enclosed with the North Walls of the City; and set the Picture of a Sow cut in Marble upon the forefront of that Gate, by which men go to Bethleem; thereby giving to understand, That the Jews subject to that Law of Swine's flesh, were under the power of the Romans; 
Will. Tyr. Hist. Bel. Sacri. lib. ●4. c. 12. I●ob. Vitriac. ●. 55.  whom by an Edict he forbade never more to enter into that City, or look into the same from the top of any higher place, and from thenceforth commanded it to be called Aelia Capitolia, after his own name. But after this, being inhabited of the Christians, and dignified with a Patriarchal Seat, receiving again in continuance of time, the name of Jerusalem, flourished five hundred years in Christian Religion.  
And in the year after the Birth of Christ, 
Onuphr. in Chro. Eccles.  Six hundred thirty and six, it was taken by the Saracens which reigned in Egypt, and so possessed Four hundred threescore and three years.  
After this, in the year of Christ One thousand ninety and nine, 
Wilbelm. Tyri Arch. Hist. Bel. Sacri. l. 8. c. 5, 18, 19, 20, 21. & l. 9 c. 1, 2, 9  the City Jerusalem was recovered by the Christians, having for their Captain Godfrey of Bullion, who was the first that entered upon the Wall of the City with great courage and most fierce assault, the Ideses of July, the very same day and hour wherein 
* So I the Author try this.  Christ died. And so great slaughter was made, throughout all the Streets, Lanes, and corners of the City, that no man could pass but over the dead bodies of the slain: And so exceeding was the effusion of blood, 
jacob. de Vitriac. c. 20. B. Salig. in Epist. ad Joan. a Lotharing, Cardin.  that men went over their shoes in the blood of the dead; insomuch, That the Conquerors themselves were from the sole of the foot, to the crown of the head, imbrued with blood. Who when they enjoyed the City, putting off their Armour, and cleansing themselves from their blood, visited the places of Christ's Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension (which the faithful that dwelled in Jerusalem showed unto them) and beheld them with reverence. The eight day after, with one consent, they elected Duke Godfrey, and created him the King of Jerusalem; but the man being full of godliness and humility, would not be crowned with a Crown of Gold, after the manner of Kings, in the holy City; but contented himself, and reverenced the like Crown of Thorns, with the which, the Emperor of Mankind was crowned in the same place, when he went to be Crucified for our Salvation.  
Jerusalem therefore being recovered by the Christians, 
Bas. Hero. Bel. Sacri. count. l. 1. c. 7. & l. 6. c. 10.  was so held and enjoyed by them Fourscore and eight years: Afterward, namely in the year One thousand one hundred eighty and seven, the second day of October, the Christian Princes (woe and alas) disagreeing among themselves, 
Matth. Palmerius in Chron.  Jerusalem was delivered up to Saladine the Sultan of Egypt, upon this condition, That it should be lawful for the Christians to departed with bag and baggage; the which Saladine held it Three hundred and thirty years. But in the year of our Lord, 
Mossaeus in Chron.  One thousand-five hundred and seventeen, it was invaded by Selimo, the Emperor of Turks, and is at this day in the same compass of Walls possessed by the Turks; who name it Cusumobarech or Codsbarich, 
Onuphr. in Chron.  that is to say, A Holy City. So that from the first Foundation thereof, unto this present year One thousand five hundred ninety and four, are passed Three thousand five hundred thirty and one years.  

The places within the City.  
The first part of the City.  
II. MOunt Zion, 
Psal. 2.6. & 15.1. Joel 2.15. & 3.17. joseph. 6. Bell. 6. & 15. Antiq. 14. Niceph. 8. Hist. Eccles. 30. Brocard. Itiner. 6.  which is called The Mount of the Lord, and the Holy Mountain, is much more higher than other Mountains, and larger; after the fashion of a Theatre, in the form of a half Circle, compassing the City on the South part: And being set as a Looking-Glass on a high place, founded by God upon a firm Rock, on every side broken off, had a Plainness thereon like to a Town; and being very pleasant and recreative, it represented the excellency and delights of Heaven. Whose top the Jebusites first of all fortified with a strong Castle, and the compass thereof with firm and lofty Walls, with Gates, and with Towers: 
Salig. Tom. 6. cap. 6. Isa. 14. & 20.  Whom when David the King had expulsed, he made the Castle and the Walls round about, the Gates and the Towers, much more defensible, and made the top and plainness of the Hill, 
Bas. Hero. Bel. Sacri. con●in. lib. 1. cap. 8. 2 Sam. 5.6, 7. 1 Chro. 11▪ 5, 7. & 15.1.  into Streets and Lanes; and builded there for himself, for his Nobles and Worthies, Houses, and called it The City of David; which also Josephus calleth The Higher City, and The Holy Part. The Maccabees re-edifying the same Mountain in compass, made it most strong with many Walls, and lofty Towers, in such wise, as notwithstanding any force, it was invinsible, only by Famine it might be surprised: Where were many strait and narrow passages, and many houses of Citizens placed.  
From this Mountain, 
Psal. 48.2. & 87.1, 2. joseph. 6. Bel. 6. & 1. Bel. 1. 1 Mac. 4. joseph. Bel. 15. & 16.  according to the foretelling of the Prophets, a Law, and an Evangelical Light came forth, and as it were from the Head itself, it was spread forth into the whole Body of the World for the saving health of all Nations. The which, when the Romans by the judgement and will of God, against all hope of man, and without bloodshed had taken (the seditious within the City, being stricken with a sudden fear, and roaming here and there from the wall, and hiding themselves in their sinks) being dispersed in all corners and streets with their naked swords, slew all that they met with all, having no regard of persons or sex, and set fire on the houses, burning them, 
Actor. 13. joseph. 7. & Bel. 16.  and all those that were fled into them, and destroying many houses whereinto they entered for pillage sake, where finding whole families dead (whom the famine had consumed) they so abhorred the sight thereof that they returned back again empty, running thorough with their swords all that they met, and so filling the streets with dead bodies, that the whole City flowed with blood in such abundance, that (as Josephus witnesseth) many things burning, were quenched with the plentiful blood of the slain. But night coming on the slaughter began to cease, but the burning increased. The next day following, Titus being entered into the City, wondered at the fortifications of the City, and at the Rocks of the Towers, which the Tyrants through folly had willingly forsaken.  
To be brief, when he had seen their substantial altitude, and invincible force, we have fought (saith he) by the manifest help of God, and it was God which drove out the Jews from these holds. For what hands of men, or what engines of war might have prevailed against these?  
Many such words spoke he to his friends. This mountain though it were excluded out of the City, yet afterward it was builded again and inhabited. But now being in the Suburbs most ruinous, it lieth waste.   

The places of Mount Zion.  
III. THe Castle of Zion being ancient and strong, was set on the very top of Mount Zion, round like a Crown, and was a sure defence and beauty both of the City and Temple, and was as the capital or chief place of so great a City. 
2 King. 19.31. 2 Sam. 5, 6, 7. vers. 11.  Herein the Jebusites dwelled at the first, whom David casting out by force, enjoyed the Castle, and receiving from Hiram King of Tyrus, stones, wood, and Artificers, builded out of the same a strong Palace for himself, and a house of Cedar, 
1 Kin. 5.1.10. 1 Chron. 11.3.7.  with a Kingly Throne. In the which Castle afterward, David himself, and other Kings of Juda inhabited, 
●●s. 6. Bel. 6.  and used the same for the King's seat. And for this cause it was continually kept with a straight guard of soldiers. And in process of time it was called the King's Castle, and the house of David, the seat and Throne of David, also the Court and King's house. 
Aristate l. the 72. interpr. 1 Mach. 1. 1 Mach. 13, 14. chap.  In this Castle the most cruel of all Tyrants Antiochus King of Syria, which in Greek was called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Epiphanes, that is to say, Renowned (but more truly 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Epimanes, that is, Mad, he deserved to be called) placed a Garrison of Gentiles, whereby in the time of the Maccabees he afflicted the Jews very much a long time. The which when Simon Machabaus had enforced to yield through famine, and had cleansed the Castle from the pollution of Idols, they entered there-into with palms in their hands, with Cymbals, with Psalterions, with hymns and songs; and he placed therein men of the Jews to defend the City and Country. Yet now there is nothing to be seen but the ruins thereof.  
iv The King's Prison with a lofty Tower, which overlooked the King's house. 
Nehem. 3.25. Jer. 33.1. ch. 39.14.15.  Into this prison Jeremy was cast, because he prophesied that the City should be taken, and at the last was delivered out of the same by Nabuchadnezzar, when the City was taken.  
V Caesar's and Agrippa's Hall, 
Jos. 15. Antiq. 11. & 1 Bel. 16▪ & 6. Bel. 6.  was the King's house, which Herod the Ascalonite builded for himself in the uppermost City: for he builded in his Palace two great and fair houses of polished marble, and fine gold, whereunto the Temple itself was not comparable, and calling them after the names of Caesar Augustus, and of Agrippa his son in law, his friends, he named the one Caesars, and the other Agrippa's.  
VI The upper Chamber of Zion (as some writ●) was situate about the midst of Mount Zion, 
Mat. 26.18. Mark 14.14. Luk. 22.11. joh. 13, 1.  being large, paved, and very fair, wherein Christ in his last supper did eat the Paschal Lamb with his Disciples, 
Luke 24. joh. 20.  washed their feet, and instituted the Sacrament of his most blessed body and blood. In the same (say some) on the day of his Resurrection (when he was entered, the doors being shut) standing in the midst of his Disciples, he shown unto them the wounds of his side, of his hands and feet, and did eat before them; after that, breathing upon them, he gave them the Holy Ghost, and therewithal power to remit, 
joh. 20.  and retain the sins of all manner of persons: That the eighth day after this, here he offered unto Thomas the Apostle the prints and scars of the spear and nails to see and feel. 
Act. 1.2. Hier. tom. 1. Ep. 27. ad E●stoc. vir. & tom. 3. Epist. 1. ad Paulin. Niceph. l. 2. hist. Eccl. cap. 3. Act. 6.5.  Here (as some conjecture) after the Lord's ascension, Mathias was by lot chosen into the Apostleship of Judas the Traitor. And that here on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Ghost came down in a great sound, and in the form of fiery tongues, lighted upon one hundred and twenty believers; and at the first Sermon of Peter three thousand Jews were converted and baptised. In this place (as some guess) James the Lord's b●other, firnamed Just, was by the Apostles desired to preside with the Church in Jerusalem; and Stephen with six more, were ordained Deacons. 
Act. 15.  And that here the Apostles entered into the first consultation, or council, and set down the Rules of Christian peace, for the good of Jews and Gentiles.  
VII. The Cypress Trees of Mount Zion, which were very excellent, 
Eccles. 24.13.  whereof the Book called Ecclesiasticus, maketh mention.  
VIII. The House of Annas, the chief Priest, the Father-in-law of Caiaphas; wherein Christ was examined of Annas, 
joh. 18.13.24.  concerning his Disciples, and his Doctrine; at what time he answered, That he had taught openly before all men; for the which, he received a blow on the cheek by a servant.  
IX. The House of the Worthies, 
Nehem. 3.  wherein (as some say) the strong men, and valiant Peers of King David dwelled; where also as in a wrestling place, the chief Wrestlers and Champions, for exercise sake, used to try masteries.  
X. The House of the Virgin Mary, wherein after the death of her Son, she dwelled with John the Apostle, 
Niceph. 2. hist. Eccles. 3. & 21  [as Nicephorus saith.]  
XI. The House of Uria, 
2 Sam. 11. & 23  one of the most valiant Soldiers of David, whose wife Bethsheba, bathing herself in a Fountain of her Garden (which also is to be seen in the Map) by her beauty alured David to adultery; beholding her from a Gallery of the King's House.  
XII. The upper Market, by reason whereof, the upper City also, was called sometimes the upper Market. 
Ios. 6 Bel. 6.   
XIII. The stairs of the Castle, 
Acts 21. last, & 22.1.  or prison, whereon the Apostle Paul stood, when he made answer for himself.  
XIV. The stairs of Zion, 
Nehem 3.15. and 12.37. Ios. 15. Antiq. 14.  by which men went up to the City of David.  
XV. The King's Garden, 
Nehem. 3.15. 2 King. 23.18.26.  the which also was called the Garden of Oza, wherein Manasses and Amon, Kings of Judah, were buried.  
XVI. melo, a Valley or Dale, very deep and wide, which lay between Mount Zion, and the lower City, and extended itself from the Water-Gate to the Fish-Gate. David builded and compassed Mount Zion round about from this Valley; 
Bas. Hero. 1. Bel sac S. Bro itin. 6 2 Sam. 5.9. 1 Chron. 11.8. 1 King. 9.15. & 11.27. Nehem. 8.1.3.16. & 3.26. & 12.37. 2 Chron. 32.5. 2 King. 12.20. joseph. 6. Bel. 6. B●ocord. itin. 6.  the concavity and bottom whereof Solomon did make level and plain, that it might be a convenient street; and from thenceforth it was called the street of the Water-gate. He also beautified the same with buildings, which being decayed, was repaired by Ezekias. In this place it was that Joaz King of Juda was slain by his servants in the way down to Sela. But in Josephus time, this valley was called Tyropoeon, and was very large and full of dwelling houses. At this day this valley is so filled up with earth and stones, that there remaineth only a small show of the former concavity and deepness.  
XVII. The Palace of Caiphas, belonging to every high Priest, large and square, 
Nehem. 3.20. Mat. 26.3.57. & 27. Mar. 14.15. Luk. 22 & 23. joan. 18.24.28  wherein sometime dwelled Eliasib the chief Priest. In this Palace the Princes of the people being gathered together, consulted among themselves what policy they might use to catch Jesus, and to kill him, to whom he was there sold by Judas for thirty pieces of silver. Afterwards also he was thrice denied by Peter, and was by false witnesses of the Jews, accused before Caiphas in the counsel of the Priests and Elders, to whom when he answered nothing, being straight charged by the high Priest, to tell whether he were christ the Son of God. The which when he confessed, he was accused of blasphemy; the chief Priest calling for the sentence of the counsel, threescore and ten Elders condemned him to be worthy of death, saying He is worthy to die; Whereupon the servants and soldiers did presently spit in his face, they blindefolded him, buffeted him with their fists, commanding him to prophesy, scorned him all the night with sundry mocks, and vexed him with many blasphemies. And that I may speak much in few words, no mortal man in this life is able to express, what, and how much he endured this night. And in 
* Mat. 27.1. Mar. 15.1. Luk. 22 66. Io. 18.28.  the morning following, the Rulers of the Jews assembled together in this place again, to deliver him up to death; and leading him bound, they delivered him to Pilate the Deputy.  
XVIII. The Fountain of Zion, 
Nehem. 3.  the which was made with great labour and cost.  
XIX. The Bridge of Zion, by which men went through the valley out of the upper City unto the Temple. 
Ios. 15. Antiq 1●. & 7. Bel. 13, 15.   
XX. The Gates of Zion which the Lord loveth more than all the Tabernacles of Jacob. 
Psal. 87.2.   
XXI. The upper Gate by which Joas when he was crowned King of Juda in the Temple, 
2 Chron. 23.5.13.  and guarded with the Princes of the Jews, was lead into the Palace of the Kings of Juda.  
XXII. The Sepulchre of David, together with the field wherein the Kings were buried, 
1 King. 2, 10. & 11.43. 2 Chron. 21, 20 & 24, 25. & 28, 27 Nehem. 2.3.5. & 3.6. Ios ●. 7 Antiq. 16 & ●3. Ant. 15 & 16 Antony's 7. Act. 2.29. Niceph. hist. Eccl. 30. Breid. 12. Jul. Sal. tom. 7. cap 2 Pasch. day 1846,  the which very stately was placed aloft in the City of David, wherein David himself, Solomon, and other Kings of Juda, also Jehoida the chief Priest were buried. Into this Monument of David's Sepulchre▪ Solomon brought great treasure at his burial; the which Hircanus the high Priest, and Captain opening brought from hence thirty thousand talents of silver. Not long after this, Herod the Ascalonit King of Jews, went about also to bring much treasure out from thence, but a flame of fire breaking forth and consuming two of his soldiers, he left off his enterprise, and to make satisfaction for himself, he adorned the same Monument with fair shining Marble, which continued there a long time after: where the Saracens afterward builded a Church for themselves, which standeth as yet, which place they greatly reverence, and suffer not any Christian to enter into the same.  
XXIII. The Sepulchre of Stephen the first Martyr, 
Acts 8.2.5.34.22 3. 2 Sam. 6.17.  of Nicodemus, and of Gamaliel, Paul's Schoolmaster, [removing their bodies by a miracle from the valley of Josaphat hither, after three hundred and sixty years, say Relick-mungers.]  
XXIV. The Tabernacle of Zion, 
Exo. 26.1.7.14. 2 Chron. 1.3. 2 Sam. 6.17. 2 Chron 5.2. 1 Chro. 16.1.39 vers. 37. Josep. Ant. 4. 2 Chron. 1.3, 4. ch. 5.2.7. Breid. 12. Jul. pasch. day. 184. Zach. 14.10.  not that covered with skins, which Moses caused to be made; King David placed the same in this City in Zion Gibeon, and with great reverence put the Ark of God therein, and appointed Priests and Levites continually to minister from day to day by turn, which remained there about four and twenty years, until it was carried by Solomon into the Temple. In the same (saith Breid.) David sorrowing for his adultery with Bethsheba, and murder of Urias, made certain Psalms of repentance.  
XXV. The King's Presses, wherein the King's wine was pressed.   

The Second part of the City.  
XXVI. THe Daughter of Zion, 
Psal. 9.16. Zach. 9.9. Matth. 21.5. Jos. 6. Bel. 6. &c  so called becaused it seemed to grow from Mount Zion, the which was also called the lower City, being another part of the City, whereof there is often mention made in the holy Scriptures, and in Josephus.   

The places of the Daughter of Zion.  
XXVII. THe Mountain of Acra was sometime in the lower City very lofty and steep, 
Jos. 13. Ant. 9 & 6. Bel. 6.7. & Bel. 13.16.  the height whereof afterward Simon Machabaeus abated, and made plain by the continual labour of the people, which he employed herein by the space of three year's day and night, that the Temple alone might be higher than all other places of the City.  
XXVIII. The Amphitheatre, 
Ios. 15. Ant. 10.  that is a place environed with Scaffolds and Stages, capable of fourscore thousand men, where the people were wont to behold their Games, which Herod the elder first of all other builded in the field at Jerusalem with great labour and cost. Wherein, to recreate the beholders, wrestlers, and sword players, shown many feats of activity; and sometimes, Lions, Leopards, Bulls, Bears, Boars, Wolves, and other exceeding wild & fierce beasts, fought one with another, and sometime condemned men were cast unto these to be devoured, and captives taken in war. At which time of their Games, the place beneath was strewed with sand, to the end that neither the Sword-players should fail in their footing, nor the fighters might be defiled with the blood of the slain, nor yet that the sprinkling of the blood should bring horror to the lookers on.  
XXIX. The Castle Antonia, 
Jos. 15. Antiq. 14 & 18 Ant. 8 Item. 1. Bel. 3. & 4, 16. & 6. Bel. 6. & alias sae●e.  strong, and well fortified, lying near to the North-side of the Temple, which was builded in time passed on a high rock fifty cubits high, and very steep round about, and the Tower was called Baris. In this the chief Priests which came of the Maccabees even till Herod's time inhabited▪ where, in a Cell made for that purpose, the sacred stool of the chief Priest was kept, the Governor of the Tower lighting a candle there every day. Herod the greater having gotten the Kingdom, and seeing that this Castle was conveniently situate to command the Citizens that they might not seek innovation through sedition, repaired the same to his great cost, and fortified it within with a Royal Palace, even like a City, and with four lofty Towers at each corner, whereof three were fifty cubits high, and the fourth threescore and ten, from whence the whole Temple might be seen; and for the favour which he bore to Marcus Antonius his friend, he called it Antonia. In this Castle the Roman soldiers, kept always watch with their soldiers, having an eye and principal care lest the people should work any innovation in the Temple on the feast days. And so the Temple belonged to the City, and the Castle Antonia to the Temple.  
XXX. The Court of Records which we commonly call the Court of Chancery, or of the Rolls, that is to say, a house wherein the Acts of the City, and of the Citizens, and also their public Records, and the account of Creditors were kept; the which the seditious burned, 
Ios. 2. Bel. 17. & 7. Bel. 13.  the keepers thereof flying from thence, to the end they might destroy all the evidences of the Creditors, and join unto them all the Debtors.  
XXXI. The Castle of Antiochus Epiphanes, 
Ios. 12. Ant. 6. 1 Mac. 1. Dan. 8.11.12.  both high and strong, the which, after the slaughter of many Citizens, the spoil of the City and Temple, and the burning of most fair houses, he builded upon the mountain Acra, and fortified it with strong walls and towers, and placed a Garrison of Macedonian soldiers there, mingling with them certain of the most rascal fugitive Jews, by whom the continual sacrifice was taken away by the space of three years, 
Ios. 13. Antiq. 9  and the City itself vexed more than six and twenty years. But after this Simon Machaeus won, and destroyed this Castle.  
XXXII. The common Prison of the City wherein the Apostles being shut up by the Rulers of the Jews, 
Act. 5 18.19. Iose. 6. Bel. 6.  were in the night time brought forth by the Angel. Josephus seemeth to call this Prison Betiso.  
XXXIII. The Corner Parlour belonging to the corner house, 
Nehem. 3.24.  where the public Suppers were kept.  
XXXIV. The Vaulted Cave, 
Ios. 19 Ant. 14. B reid. 14. jul.  leading from the Castle Antonia into the Temple, which Herod the elder made, setting a Tower thereon, that by the same he might pass privily into the Temple, if so be the people intended to make any insurrection against the King; which remaineth as yet very wonderful and large, insomuch that six hundred horses may very conveniently be placed therein.  
XXXV. The Court in Hebrew called Gasith; 
Joseph. 6. Bel. 6, 7. Bel. 13. Num. 11.24. Act. 22, 30. Mar. 13.9. Act. 5.2. Hier. Tom. 3. Epist. 25. ad Fabiol. man's. 11.  Which in the inner City was joined to an old wall thereof: Wherein were threescore and ten Senators and ordinary Judges, which were called of the Jews Sanhedrim, in Greek Synedron, that is to say, in English the Council of the Elders and Seniors of the people. These dealt in the affairs of the Commonwealth, gave Laws, and determined the doubtful and weighty causes, yea even of other Cities also; they ended strifes and controversies, and gave the sentence of death, generally they dealt in all capital causes, except only in the difficulties and mysteries of God's Law and of the Jews Religion, 
Deut. 17.  the which the Priests only determined. In this confistory the Apostles were examined, whipped, and forbidden to preach, 
Act. 4, 5, & 5.27.  and yet went rejoicing from the Council, because they were counted worthy to suffer shame for the name of Jesus. Here it was that St. Stephen standing before the Council, 
Act 6.12, 15.  and his countenance shining like an Angel, lifting up his eyes, saw the Heaven's open, and the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, from thence, he being cast with violence out of the City, was stoned.  
XXXVI. The house of Ananias the high Priest, 
Ios. 2. Bel. 1.7.  which the seditious at the length fired.  
XXXVII. The house of holy Anne (as some writ) the Grandam of Christ, 
Breid. 26. jul. Sal. Tom 8. cap. 6. jac. Vitri. cap. 58. Luke 1.26.  wherein she with Joacim her husband abode when the feast was at Jerusalem, where they both died. Here the blessed Virgin Mary (as some conjecture) abroad during the passion of Christ [That there she was conceived, some vainly record; for this was at Nazareth in Galilee.]  
The house of the rich Glutton (saith Breid, 
Luke 6. Breid 14. jul. Sal. Tom. 8.62.6  etc.) which burned in hell according to the Evangelical story (or Pa●able.) In the which house that he dwelled, it is reported by some Antiquities, a high wall whereof is showed at this day to Christian Travellers.  
XXXIX. The house of Massa, whereof mention is made in the second Book of Kings. [The house of withdrawing, or of guard, that should not be broken into. 
2 King. 11.6. ]  
XL. The house of the Nathinaeans or Nethinims that is Given, which carried wood and water into the Temple. (These seem to be the remnant of the Gibeonites whom David gave to such service, 
Neh. 3.26.31.  Ezra 8.20. with Ezra 2.70.)  
XLI. The house of the Rulers of the Pharises, in the which Christ touched the man sick of the dropsy, 
Luke 14.1.  and healed him.  
LXII. The house of the Forest of Libanus, 
1 King. 7 2. & 10.17.21. 2 Chron. 9.16.20. Jer. 22, 23. josep. 18. Aut. 5, 6, 7.  in length one hundred cubits, in breadth fifty, and in height thirty cubits, the which Solomon builded most brave and glorious of polished Marble, of Cedar trees, garnished with silver and gold, having a flat roof with Walks and Galleries (according to the fashion of Palestine) and within lively counterfeits of sundry trees and plants most artificially made, that the leaves thereof seemed in some sort to shake. And near unto the same he planted a grove and a green arbour made of all manner of trees, and watered with fountains; also he made Parks and Fish-pools, 
Mier. tem. 3. Epist. 33. ad Suniam. Eccles. 2.5, 6.  wherein it is like were all manner of wild beasts, birds, and fishes. This house was a store-house of meat, an Armoury for weapons of war, a house wherein ointments, paintings, and sweet perfumes were laid up, and preserved. Beside these, two hundred shields of gold for horsemen, and three hundred large targets of gold for footmen which Solomon made, were in this house by him laid up. All other vessels also of this House were of gold. To this house the King and his Peers came when the weighty affairs of the Commonwealth were ended, and recreated their minds, with banquets, with sports, and with pleasant walks.  
XLIII. The House (as some say) of Simon (the Leper) the Pharisee, 
Mat. 26.6. Luke 7.36.44. Job 22.3.  which is at this day to be seen, wherein Christ sitting at the Table forgave unto Magdalen the sinful woman (bewailing her sins, and washing his feet with her tears, wiping them with her hair, kissing them, anointing him, and much loving him) many sins. (According to Matth. 26.6. and Joh. 12.3. this house was in Bethanie, and not in Jerusalem. If it be the same Simon that is spoken of in Luke 7.44. and Mat. 26.  
[The XLIV. in Latin, was thus,  
Domus Veronic 2 Ang. the corner house of Veronica. This Veronica gave the linen Kercief of her head to Christ, that he might wipe his (sweaty) face with it. To it the Lord imprinted the image of his face (say some) and restored it to her, as a pledge of his love; which to this very day being notoriously marked with the face of Christ. At Rome in the Royall-Temple of S. Peter built in Vatican-mount by Constantine the Great, with grand honour it is preserved, and on set days it is showed unto the people. So the Latin book tells us from the Tradition of John Pasch a Friar Carmelite, writ Anno 1527. and of Dr. Bethlem a Priest, and Bredenbach, Dean of Mentz, Anno 1483. Why did the English omit this Relic? Ans. It seems, because not one word of it is in the holy Scripture; no, nor in Polycarpus, nor Ignatius, nor Justin Martyr, nor of any ancient approved Authority, but forged afterwards to delude such as prefer men's Traditions before God's word, so making it of none effect, as Jesus Christ said, Mat. 15.6.9.) One questions of what cloth that Handkerchief of Veronica was made, that is so durable after sixteen hundred years? that they may have some of that durable Cloth?]  
SLIV. or XLV. The House of the common people, wherein they exercised themselves with dartings, and other exercises of the arm, 
jer. 39  and with feasts, with other plays and walksrefreshed their minds.  
SLV. or XLVI. The Great Market which was in the midst of the City, and near adjoining to the Castle Antonia, 
Ios. 13. Ant. 20. & 1. Bel 3. Ios. 14. Aut. 22. item. 1. Bel. 7. & 11.  wherein Alexander the King of the Jews, and the chief Priest, crucified eight hundred jews, killing also the Wives in the presence of their Husbands, and the children in the sight of their Mothers; the which spectacle himself with his Concubines beheld, at what they were banqueting in the Castle Antonia. For the which cruelty he was surnamed Crucida. In the same Market place, Herod the greater fought a great battle with the Parthians, which went about to bring again Antigonus into the Kingdom. Furthermore when the famine through the Roman siege was exceeding great in Jerusalem, 
I●s. 6. Bel. 14. & 7. Bel. 7. & 8.  in such wise that it consumed whole families, and replenished the tops of houses with fainting women and children, and the ways of the dead carcases of old men, (in which extremity they did eat Leather; their Girdles, their Shoes, Hay, and Mothers their own children:) Then a man might have seen lusty young men, which afore time were most flourishing, pass through this Market place, like shadows of dead men. And when those which remained alive, were not able to bury the dead, by reason of their exceeding multitude, and could not endure the stink of the bodies unburied, they cast them over the wall into the valleys of the City. The which when Titus saw, as he went about the walls, full of dead bodies much putrified, he fetched a great sigh, and holding up his hands to God, protested, that it was not his deed; for the obstinate Jews refused peace, to them oftentimes offered.  
XLVI. or XLVII. The Market place of Wares, 
Act. 12.2. Euseb. 2 Hist. Eccl. 9 Niceph. 2.  the which was in the upper part of the lower City, in the which, Fish, and sundry other things were sold. In this Market S. James the greater, [or elder] the brother of John, suffered his martyrdom by the tyranny of Herod Agrippa [as Euseb. records]  
XLVII. or XLVIII. The Upholsters Market, wherein all manner of old garments that had been worn aforetime of others were to be sold.  
XLVIII. or XLIX. The School of Gentility, which Jesus the false high Priest of the Jews (who after the manner of the Gentiles would be called Jason) and other Jew's apostatas (by the permission of Antiochus Epiphan. 
Hist. Eccl. 2. Mach. 1, & 2. of Mac. 4. ) set up, even under his Castle over against the Temple; wherein the people were taught the laws and fashions of the Gentiles, and the youth instructed in the studies and disputations of the Greek Philosophers. Where they being naked and anointed with oil, exercised themselves in feats of activity, in martial actions, and in interludes. Furthermore in same place, the said Apostatas set up EPHEBIAM, that is to say a Stewed of fair young boys, 
Sodomy.  wherein they committed most filthy things against nature; by reason thereof many fell from the Law of God, to the manners and abominations of the Gentiles, being as it were sold to commit monstrous wickedness, insomuch that some of the Priests forsaking the Temple and worship of God, gave themselves to the exercise of feats of activity; here hence also there sprang up among the Jews divers Sects, namely the Pharisees, the Sadduces, the Essenes', &c.  
XLIX. or L. The Houses of the Priests, 
Lyra in Neh. 3  and of the Levites whose houses were shut up by the outward part of the wall; but from the former part they had a prospect toward the Temple.  
L. or LI. etc. The Habitation of the Target (or Shield) Bearers, 
2 Chron. 12.11 2 King. 11.6. joseph. 20. Ant. 15:  was builded before the West-gate of the Temple; where first the Jews, than the Roman soldiers upon the solemn feast days had the stations for the guard of the Temple.  
LI. The Lists or Tilt, which was placed over against the South part of the Temple, wherein horses by running, 
Io●. 15 An. 10. & 17. Ant. 9, 10 13.14. It. Bel. 21. & 2. Bel. 2.  agility and swiftness were exercised. And the Wrestlers and Champions did contend before the people who should run swiftest on foot with Chariots diversely drawn, who should break most spears, and in other masteries, and feats of valiency. Where Herod the King for the honour of Augustus Caesar ordained the game and prize of five years' continuance, appointing unto the Victor's great rewards. The same Herod when he should die, called all the more noble sort of the, Jews of all places within his dominion, by an Edict threatening death to such as should not obey, and caused them to be shut up in the Lists, to the end that after his death they all be-being there slain, every house might have cause to wail even in despite of all Judaea.  
LII. The Mountain Moria, 
Gen. 22.2. Mich. 3.12. 1 Mach. 13. & 16. chap Isa. 10.16. joseph. 15. Ant. 14. & 6. Bel. 6.  the which in another place is called the land of Vision, and the Mountain of the Temple, and the Mountain of the Daughter of Zion, lying near unto the East-wall of the City, being very high, stony, and very steep round about. In this Mountain Abraham being ready to offer up his son Isaac, instead of him offered up a Ram which was taken by the horns in a thicket. This was the very same Mountain which David bought of Streuna or Ornan the Jebusite for six hundred shekels of Gold, and erecting an Altar in his threshing flower, he offered a  offering unto the Lord, 
1 Chron. 21. Jos. 7. Ant. 13. 2 Chr. 3.1.36.  which the fire from heaven consumed. Afterward in the same Mountain Solomon builded unto the Lord a most excellent Temple both for largeness and beauty, whereof mention shall be made hereafter.  
LIII. The first Wall, the which was called the old Wall, both in regard of the valleys, 
Jos. 6. Bel 6, 7, etc.  and a hill which was aloft above them, and also in regard of threescore Towers whereinto it was divided, the which made it very defensible and strong.  
LIV. Ophel, which Josephus calleth Ophlam, was a Tower of an exceeding height, whose top seemed to reach unto the Clouds; it was fortified with a Castle, 
2 Chr. 27.3. & 23, 14, Neh. 3.26, 27 Neh. 11.21. Jos. 2. Bel. 18. & 6. Bel. 6, 7. & 7 Bel. 13.  and compassed about with a firm wall near unto the Temple, notwithstanding it was without the wall, which shut off the habitation of the Priests. Herein dwelled the Nethinims. Into this Manahemus the Tyrant flying, was taken and slain. This same was at the last burned by the Soldiers of Titus.  
LV. The Palace of the Maccabees, 
1 Mac. 13.  builded by them on a very lofty place on the West side of the Temple, from whence they which would behold the City, and those things which were done therein, 
Jos. 17. Ant. 14. & 20. Ant. 15.  had a most pleasant and delectable prospect. The which King Agrippa afterward exceedingly enlarged, and made it a Court for himself; from whence out of his Parlour he might behold whatsoever was done in the Temple. 
2 Bel. 2 & 16, 17 & 7. Bel. 15.  For the which cause the Rulers of the Jews builded a very high Gate between that and the West part of the inner Temple to hinder the King's prospect. This thing both King Agrippa, and Festus also the Lieutenant of the Country took in very evil part, who also commanded them to pull down the said Gate. But the Rulers entreated▪ that they might have leave to send Ambassadors to Nero the Emperor concerning this matter, saying, that they could not live if any thing were cast down of the buildings of the Temple. The which liberty when they had obtained, they sent Ishmael the chief Priest, and Helchia the Treasurer, and with them ten of their chief Rulers. And Nero at the earnest suit of Poppea his wife, a godly woman, which she made for the Jews, pardoned the building of the said Gate, and permitted the same to stand.  
LVI. The Palace of Pilate, and of the Lieutenants of Rome, 
Mat. 27.1. Isa. 50. & 53, 63 Mat. 27. Mar. 15. Luke 23.3. Io. 18. joh. 19  adjoining to the Gallery which lieth on the North side of the Castle Antonia; which Palace was much more large, lofty, and fairer, than all the buildings of the City, and had an ascent or mounting of eight and twenty steps of Marble.  
Here when Christ was falsely accused, and required to be crucified by the Princes and people of the Jews, for (that as they said) he perverted the people, forbade tribute to be given to Caesar, said that he was Christ a King, and therefore approved himself a seditious person, Pilate condemned him to be whipped under the form of this sentence, which was found in a most ancient Chronicle, as followeth; Jesum Nazarenum virum seditiosum, & Mosaicae legis contemptorem, per pontifices & principes sua gentis accusatum, expoliate, ligate, & virgis caedite; 
Breid. 21. Jul. Sal. Tom. 8. cap. 7. Pasch. day 108  that is to say, Take ye Jesus of Nazareth accused by the chief Peiests and Rulers of his own Nation to be a man seditious, and a contemner of Moses Law strip him bind him, and whip him. Whereupon the soldiers of Pilate led him into the Judgement hall, stripped him before the whole band of soldiers, and other people, tied him to a pillar, beat him most cruelly with rods, 
Mat. 27. Io. 19  and rend and tore his most tender body. After this, they put on him a purple Robe, plaited, and in forcible manner broided on his head a crown of sharp thorns, delivered into his right hand a reed, and in scorn saluted him as a King bending the knee before him, many ways mocked him, they did spit on him, they did buffet him, and strike him upon the wounded head with a Cane.  
LVII. The Queen's Palace, 
1 Reg. 7. & 9 2 Chro. 8. Jos. 8. Ant. 5.  which Solomon most royally builded of precious and polished stones for the habitation of his wife, which was Pharaohs daughter.  
LVIII. Solomon's Palace, exceeding great and fair, the which he builded in thirteen years magnificently, and most sumptuously on the South part of the Mount Moria, 
1 King. 7. & ●0  of bright marble, and Cedar trees, supported with many pillars for his own habitation; this he wonderfully garnished with gold and silver round about, and made all the vessels thereof of gold. In the same place afterward, the Christian Kings of Jerusalem had their Palace, where first began the order of the Templars.  
LIX. The Castle Pisan, 
Sal. Tom. 7. cap. 1.  compassed about with deep Trenches and Towers; the which was builded on the West part of the City, by the Christian inhabitants of a Town in Italy belonging to the Pisans, at what time they had the Dominion of the Holy-Land. Where first the Pisans, after them the Saracens, and now the Turks, do exact of the Pilgrims of the Holy-Land sacrilegious tribute.  
LX. The inner Fountain, 
2 Sam. 20. 2 Chron. 32. Eccles. 48. Brocar. Itin. 6.  which King Hezekias made in the midst of the City at the North side of the Temple. For he brought into the City the waters of this Fountain, from the higher Fountain of Gition, by conduct pipes which were under the earth, and made them to issue forth in this Fountain. This Fountain he compassed about with a Well to water the whole City, that the people in time of siege might not be distressed with the want of water.  
LXI. The Pool Probatica, 
joh. 5.1.2.  that is to say, the Sheep-pool, wherein the sheep, and other beasts were washed that were appointed for sacrifice. In Hebrew it is called Bethesda (and corruptly Bethsaida) that is to say, the house of effusion, because the rain waters ran into the same [or rather Beth-chasda; 
Sol. Tom. 8. cap. 5.  that is, The house of Kind-mercy, so the Syriack] It was situate between the Gate of the Valley and the Temple. It was the most principal Pool, or water of the whole City, having five Porches, which King Solomon made for the service of the Temple. 
Pasch. day 192  And this Josephus called Solomon's Lake or Pool. For in this Pool the Nathenims washed the oblations which they delivered unto the Priests to be offered in the Temple. The Water hereof was moved at certain times by the Angel of the Lord, and who so after the stirring thereof went first into the water, he was healed, whatsoever disease he had. 
Jo. 5.4, 5.  And therefore there lay a great multitude of languishing people in the Porches thereof, as blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. Among which number Christ healed a man which had languished eight and thirty years.  
[The Figures in this Book should resemble the Figures that are in the MAP OF JERUSALEM, which are not Roman Figures, but such as these that follow.]  
62. The Old Fountain, together with a River, 
Isa. 22. Jos 7. Bel. 24.  which issuing out of the same runneth through the whole City into the brook Cedron.  
63. The Bridge, and Porch with Gates, 
Jos. 14. Ant. 8. & 15. Ant. 14. & 1. Bel. 5. Item. 2 Bel. 15, 16. & 7. Bel. 6.13  by which men went from the Gallery, and from the Castle Antonia, over the valley of Cedron into the Temple, the which at the first the favourites of Aristobulus against Pompey, and afterward the seditious against Florus, cut off, lest by the means of the Castle Antonia, the Temple should be gotten.  
64. The Warders [or Prison] Gate so called, 
Neh. 12.39.  because certain of the Kings guard warded there, at such time as the King entered into the Temple.  
65. The Horse-Gate, so named, 
Lyr. in Neh. 3.  because men might ride so far as that place; but then leaving their horses, they went on foot into the Temple. At the which place began the habitations of the Priests.  
66. The Gate of the Essens was situate in the old wall of the City. 
Jos. 6. Bel. 6.   
67. The first Gate, whereof the Prophet Zachariah maketh mention. 
Zach. 14.10.   
68 The Porch of Pillars, situate before Solomon's Palace, the which was fifty cubits long, and thirty cubits broad, 
1 King. 7.15.21  and supported with strong Pillars.

The which Solomon the peaceable King builded of the matter prepared by David his father, and of elect, hewn, and polished stones, and of timber cut from Mount Libanus, by the labour of more than a hundred fifty three thousand men in the mount Moria, without any sound of Axe or Hammer in seven years, 
Arist. lib. 72. interpret.  so sumptuous and magnificent both within and without with shining gold, that it was counted the miracle of the world. Concerning the wonderful excellency whereof, nothing can be sufficiently spoken. When Solomon dedicated this Temple, the cloud and glory of the Lord filled it, and the fire which came from heaven consumed the sacrifices which were offered therein.  
As concerning the entrance of this Temple, the same was contrary to the fashion now used, being Eastward, and the back part tended West; whereupon the Priests and people prayed turning to the West, and worshipped God herein with great reverence, until through the impiety of the Kings and people of the Jews, it was profaned with the pollutions of Idols oftentimes: Therefore 
* [Some compute the years about four hundred and thirty.] 2 King. 25. 2 Chron. 36. 1 Es. 3.5, 6. 2 Mac. 3. Ios. 2. Bel. 17, & 10. 1 Mach. 4, 6, 13 chap.  four hundred forty and one years after the first foundation thereof, by the just judgement of God, Nabuchodonozer King of Babylon burned the same, and so destroyed it, that it lay desolate threescore and ten years. But after that, Zorobabel repaired the Temple again in excellent sort with squared stones, and the best timber in the same Mountain, within the space of forty and six years. And this also was of so great estimation that it was honoured throughout the whole world, and was from all parts enriched and beautified with the greatest gifts and honours of Kings and Princes. The which after three hundred fifty and four years, was spoilt by Antiochus Epiphanes King of Syria, and polluted with Idols. In the third year of the contamination thereof, the most valiant Captain of the Jews, Judas Machabaeus, purged it, and restored to the same again the golden vessels, and the worship of God. And that it might never more be defiled, he did wall it about in manner of a Castle with deep Trenches, with strong and high walls, and with Gates and Towers both forcible and fair. 
Ios. 14. Ant. 8. & 7. Bel. 4.9.   
Wherein he being besieged a long time with one hundred and twenty thousand Gentiles, could not be commanded.  
But about one hundred years after this, when that famous Captain of the Romans, Pompey the Great fought against it, he won it with main force, and in the entering thereof he slew therein twelve thousand Jews; 
Strabo. Geogra. l. 16. 1 Mach. 6.  and Pompey himself with his Peers entering into the most holy place, and beholding the Temple, the Candlestick, and other things there of shining gold, and finding also two thousand talents of the holy Treasure this heathen Prince moved as it were with a certain godliness, would not so much as touch any of them; but the next day after the siege commanded the keepers of the Temple to cleanse the fame, and to celebrate their lawful and solemn sacrifices. This self and same Temple being afterwards decayed, Herod the A●calonit King of the Jews, by the space of nine years and a half, repaired and beautified it, with sumptuous buildings.  
And according to the Prophecy of the Prophet Haggai (even as the Church is preferred before a Synagogue, and the blood of the Gospel is more precious than the gold of the Law) greater was the glory of the second Temple, 
Agg. 2, 3, 7.9. Luk. 2. Matth. 4. Johan. 7.8. ch. 10. etc.  than was that of the first; because Christ with his presence, doctrine, and miracles, glorified this. For in this, when he was a child he was offered. In this he sat in the midst of the Doctors; In the pinnacle of this Temple he was tempted of the Devil, when he fasted forty days, and forty nights. In this likewise he preached oftentimes, and was vexed by the Jews. All which things, as they make much for the glory of the Temple, so they did nothing avail, but that the very same Temple, in the year from the Foundation thereof under Zorobabel five hundred eighty and six, 
* An. Dom. 72.  by the Army of Titus Caesar, after a doubtful and bloody battle, was won with great force and violence, and so great a slaughter of Jews made about the altar for  offerings, that the blood of the slain ran like a River by the stairs of the Temple; 
Jos. 7. Bel. 9, 10.18.  and the Temple itself in the first brunt and fury of the battle was set on fire by a certain soldier moved by divine motion, not attending to the command of any, even without the Emperor's consent: And by this burning, a work of all that ever was seen or heard of the most wonderful, and the ornament of the whole world, the tenth day of the Month of August, was consumed into ashes; to wit, even the very same day and month, whereon aforetime the Temple was burnt by the Babylonians. 
Euseb. in Ch. & 4. hist. Eccl.   
Yet for all this after threescore and five years, the Jew's rebelling again, and going about to restore the Temple in the same place where it was afore, Aelius Adrian the Emperor, slew of them in one day five hundred and fourscore thousand, 
Niceph. 3. hist. Eccl. 24.  and utterly razed the rest of the buildings of Jerusalem, and leveled the mountain Moria, whereon the Temple was builded, and made it even, casting the rubbish and earth thereof into the vale Jehoshapat, and into the Brook Cedron, lest the City, trusting to the defence of the Mountain and Temple, should rise up, and rebel any more against the Romans. He wasted also with fire and sword nine hundred and fourscore Villages. But the Emperor Julian the Apostata, 
Ruffin. in Eus. hist. Eccl. l. 10. c. 37, 38, 39 Theod. 3 hist. Eccl. 17. Z●zo. 5. hist. Eccl. 21. Niceph. 10. ●ist. Eccl. 32, 33.  after two hundred and seven and twenty years, to make the Oracle of Christ false, which he had prophesied concerning the Temple that there should not be left one stone upon another, gave unto the Jews money out of the common Treasury, and commanded them to build anew the Temple, and to sacrifice there according to the Law of Moses.  
The Jews glad of this, came from all parts of the world to Jerusalem, and threatening grievous things against the Christians, they prepared and got unto them skilful workmen, stones, timber, mortar, and all other things necessary for the building; also they caused to be made silver mattocks, spades, and baskets, and throughly purged the place where the Temple stood, with such speed and willingness, that their women also bestowed all their ouches, taches, bruches, and other Jewels for the building, and carried out from that place all the rubbish in their laps. And when the Foundations were opened and cleansed, the day following they should have begun their Foundation, but the same night there came such an exceeding and vehement tempest, that it carried away and scattered abroad their stone, timber, and mortar, with other their necessaries. Over, and besides this, a great Earthquake shook all the stones of the old foundations of the Temple, and dispersed them, disordered the houses next adjoining to the Temple by a down-fall and killed many Jews.  
And when they which remained, in the morning enterprised again to build, a fire falling from heaven, a flame also breaking forth from the foundations of the Temple, destroyed more Jew's than before, which either were busy about the work, or which came thither to see and look on; and all that day burnt, and consumed into ashes, their Mauls, Hammers, Axcs, Spades, and all other working Tools, that nothing was left. The Jews being yet obstinately bend, the next night following, a bright sign of the cross appeared in heaven, and the garments of all the Jews were marked as it were from heaven with figures of the cross, and replenished therewith as the Firmament with stars, 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 left off both their vain enterprise, and also the place. So that by their wicked endeavour, the divine Oracle was not only not made frustrate, but also more fulfilled and confirmed.  
The Jews being in this sort beaten from their enterprise, the Christians nevertheless were not afraid to build in the same place; for they erected a Temple there in a round form, made of great hewed, 
With. Tyren. lib. 8. Hist. Bel. facri c. 20 & lib 9 c. 9 Broc. i●i. 6. Brci●. 14 jul.  and polished stones, covered with a leaden roof, very large, high, and beautiful to behold. The which in process of time, was honoured with the Patriarchal seat, and became famous by reason of the true and pure worship of God which was therein maintained. At the length being invaded by the Saracens, it was contaminated four hundred threescore and three years, with the filthy worship of Mahomet.  
Finally, in the year of Christ 1099. the very same Temple, though it was fortified with a wall, with Towers, and strong gates by the Christians, yet was it violently won by Godfrey of Boulogne, a valiant man, who killed within the circuit of the Temple ten thousand Saracens, in such wise that the upper face of the earth was covered with the blood of the slain. In the which place the said Godfrey erected a College of divine service, giving continual maintenance to the same, furnishing it with necessary habitations, which so continued by the space of fourscore and eight years. The which expired, the same was possessed again by the Saracens, through the pernicious discord of Christian Princes; who in the top thereof (according to their manner) set up the figure of the Halfmoon; and in the Courts thereof they planted Figs, and olive Trees. The same being now possessed of the Turks, is defiled with the detestable worship of Mahomet. And all Christians are commanded by an Edict, not to enter thereinto upon pain of death. For it any Christian be known to have entered therein, he is by and by either compelled solemnly to deny the faith of Christ, or else publicly to lose his head.   

The first Part of the Temple.  
75. THe Holy of Holies [called the Holy place, 
Exod. 26.23. Leu. 16.2.17.27. Heb. 9.22.25.3.7. 1 King. 6.19.20. 2 Chro. 4.20. & 5 7.  and the most Holy] which is so called, because of the singular holiness of that place. It is also named the Oracle, and the inner house. For it was the secretest part of the Temple, [whereinto the high Priest came only once a year] it being twenty cubits long, and as many in breadth; the height whereof was twenty cubits, [not a hundred and twenty cubits.] Whose floor was laid over with fir boards, covered with plate of Gold, and paved with Marble [as some write] The gates were made of polished stones inwardly framed with boards of Cedar, and covered with golden plates; the which being fastened with nails of gold, shined most gloriously, as if it had been a divine work; whereon were graven Cherubins, 
1 King. 6.30.] Ios. 6. Bel. 6. 1 Chro. 29.2  precious stones, palms, flowers, imbossements, and pictures of divers sorts, representing the celestial beauty. The roof also was covered with golden plate, the very top whereof was set full of golden prickets, or sharp spits to fray away birds, lest by sitting thereon, it might be polluted. Into this sacred Holy of Holiest, 
Heb. 9.3.7.13. Leu. 16.3.  the chief Priest for the divine Majesty thereof, entered but once every year alone in the feast of purgation; on which day the Jews did fast and afflict themselves. And then that great and chief Priest of God, prefiguring the person of Christ, offered the blood of a calf burnt without the host, for his own sins, 
Deut. 23.10.  and for the sins of the people. Who if he were legally polluted, but so much as in sleep entered not in his own person, but by his substitute.   

The Parts of the most holy Place.  
76. THe Ark of the Covenant, 
Exo. 25.10. el●. 37.1. & 40.3.20. Num. 17. Deut. 31. Ios. 3. aut. 83.  the which by the commandment of God was made of Set him [or Sittim] wood, which corrupteth not, by Moses in the desert covered within and without with plate of pure gold, being set in the midst of the Holy of Holiest, shining like the Sun with the glittering brightness of gold; whose surpassing beauty is rather to be wondered at, then with words to be expressed. In this Ark the two Tables of stone, containing the ten Commandments written with the finger of God, 
1 King 8 9 Deut. 16.5. Exod. 25.10. Ex. 16 34. Num. 17.10. 2 Mach 5.2.  were kept with a singular care and holiness. The Pot wherein was Manna, and Aaron's flourishing Rod were put [before it, and not into it.] The Ark abode in this place about four hundred and thirty years. It is written in the (Apocryphal) book of the Maccabees, that in the time of the Captivity of Babylon, the Prophet Jeremy, 
[See 2 King. 25 9 and below here at *]  by the Commandment of God, hid the same privily together with the Altar of Incense, and the perpetual fire in a cave of the mount Nebo. But the Hebrews conjecture, that it was carried by Nebuchodonozer into Babylon, and that it never returned again; but another made by the Jews instead thereof, 
2 Chro. 36. Dan. 1.3. Esd. 1. Esd. 1 Hier. in Jo●l c. 3 Jos. 10. au●. 13.7 Pel. 24. Su●o● in vit. Vespasi. Rodolph. Langius de urbis Hirosol. Templique crigine, & excidio l. 2 c 15.  after the return from the Captivity. Othersome think that Nebuchadonozer carried away the same with five thousand and four hundred vessels of silver and gold which belonged to the Temple of Jerusalem, and put them into the Temple of Bel his god, but preserved by God's providence (as it was sometime in Philistaea) after threescore and ten years of the Captivity, they think (I say) it was restored again to the Jews at their return by Cyrus, together with the said vessels. But after the besieging of Jerusalem, Titus, and Vespaesian, carrying out of the Temple to Rome (as some 
* See Number 84. at the end. 2 King. 25.9. 2 Chron. 36.19 2 Chro 3.15. Jer. 5●. 21.  Relick-mungers say) the Ark of the Covenant, the two Tables of the Law, with both the rods of Moses and Aaron; also the golden Table, and some of the shewbread; the golden Candlestick, and the four (or two Pillars) made these to be carried among other spoils, by the Jews themselves, round about the City in an open triumph, wherein with great pomp they triumphed over that Nation: Simon Giora Captain of the seditious, and seven hundred Jews Captives (which were selected from among the rest for youth and come linesse) going before the Triumpher half naked, with their hands bound. This triumph being ended, Vespasian laid up all the vessels of Jerusalem in the Temple of Peace at Rome, which he in most sumptuous manner had builded; But the Law of the Jews, and the purple veils of the most secret places, he commanded to be safely laid up in his Palace.)  
77. The two Cherubims of glory, 
Exo. 25.18.20. & 37.9. 1 King. 6.23.28. & 8.7. Heb. 9.4, 5. Josep. Ant. 3.  the which as it appeareth by the Hebrew text of Paralipomenon, are like unto young boys, made of the wood of the olive-tree, ten cubits high, and covered with plates of gold, and shining with Angelical brightness, stood at each end of the Ark with their wings spread, covering the propitiatory [or Mercy-seat.] [and not with the other couple touching the gate on both sides] whose faces were directed toward the Mercy-seat, and looking one towards the other, they beheld both themselves, and also the propitiatory.  
78. The Propitiatory (or Mercy-seat) otherwise also called the Oracle, the which being above the Ark, 
See Proofs at 77. next before  between the wings of the two Cherubims, and shining with most pure gold in brightness above the Sun, representing the divine Majesty, was as it were the seat of God speaking; from whence he gave Oracles and answers [to the High Priest; so doth Christ Jesus our great High Priest from God the Father, Joh. 12.50. Matth. 17.5.]   

The second part of the Temple.  
79. THe holy place called the Sanctuary, 
Exod. 25.8. Levit. 10.4. 1 King 6. 1 Chron. 22. 1● & 24.5. 2 Chro. 3. Ezek. 44.17. Luke 1. Heb. 9 Jos. 8. Ant. 3. & 15. Ant. 14. & 6. Bel. 6. & 7. Bel. 10.  the outward house of the Lord, and the Priests Court. This is the other part of the Temple, forty Cubits long, and twenty broad, in height one hundred and twenty Cubits. The doors hereof were of gold. The floor, made of fir boards, was covered with plate of gold. The gates were made of polished stones, and being within lined with boards of Cedar, were covered outwardly with plates of gold; whereon was graved Cherubims, precious stones, palms, flowers, and sundry carved works, and pictures, which wonderfully delighted men to behold. Above it was covered with a fair roof, shining as if it had been fire.  
From the entrance hereinto, such as were not clean, were forbidden by the Law. 
2 Chr. 23.19. 1 Chr. 23.3.5.  Only the Priests [and Levites] (which King David reckoned to the number of eight and thirty thousand, and distinguished the Priests by Lot into four and twenty orders) entered daily thereinto. 
1 Chron. 24.1. ch. 25 31. chap. 27 1.4. Leu. 10 9 Ezek. 44.21. Exod. 28.42. Leu. 6.10. Rev. 3 18. Rev. 1.5, 6. R●v. 9.9. P●i● 3.9.   
All which being without spot, according to David's Ordinance, weekly by turn from Sabbath to Sabbath, abstaining (as elsewhere) from wine, and from all other strong drink, their privities covered with linen breeches, outwardly clothed and girded with a linen garment, in due order, and with great reverence, they worshipped God, they offered sacrifices, and made their prayers, [typing Jesus Christ our High Priest, who clothes his Saints (who are all Priests to God) with fine linen, that is their Righteousness.]  
80. The Altar of Incense of gold, 
Exo 30.37. Levit 2. 1 Mac 4. Luk. 1.8, 9.19.  which by God's Commandment was placed over against the veil hanging before the most holy place, (called the Holy of Holies) whereon the Priests, every day, morning and evening offered unto God, for a sweet savour, Frankincense, and sweet perfumes. The Angel Gabriel standing sometime at the right hand of this Altar, told unto Zachary, as he was offering Incense, the conception of John Baptist.  
81. The Golden Candlestick, 
Exo. 25.26.27, 37. Chapters. Levit. 24. Jos. 3. An. 10. Exod. 26.7.14.  the which having seven branches, and so many Candles, was placed on the South side of the Temple; the which being lamps of most pure oil, burned continually, and gave light as well by day as by night, to all the holy place [which was covered with vails, and had no other light. This is no warrant for burning Candles, or Torches where no need is in the day time.]  
82. The Fountain of water, 
Ezek. 47. Joel 3. Aristea● lined 72 interpret. Corn. Tac. l. 21.  which issued forth on the right side of the Temple, the water whereof Solomon derived into the sea of brass, and into the Copper Laver; the which being carried from thence by Conduit pipes under the earth, breaking forth half a mile from the East side of the City, ran into the Brook Cedron, (or Kidron.)  
83. The Golden Table, 
Exod. 25.26.37. Chap. Levit. 4. ●. Sam. 21. Mar. 2. ●●s. 3. Ant. 9  the which stood on the North side of the Temple, whereon were set twelve loaves made of the most pure and fine flower of Wheat. The which being stolen, remained to the use of the Priests, and then new were supplied again every bath day: upon the which were laid two golden Cups full of Frankincense.  
84. The chief Priest his Image, and holy apparel, 
Exod 28, 39 chap. Leu. 8. 1●  every part whereof show forth unto us a divine and heavenly magnificence. For when he went to offer sacrifice, or to enter into the most holy place, he put on not only the under garments, spoken of before under the number seventy nine, but also above upon them a Tunicle (or little coat) of Jacinth [sleeves down to the Ankles was man's device] at the lower hem whereof there did hang threescore and two golden bells, and in another border as many Pomegranates. The Tunicle was girt with a girdle four fingers broad woven with silk, gold, precious stones, and flowers of sundry colours. Aloft above this, he did wear an Ephod or Superhumeral that is to say, a most fair cloak, made of gold, of Jacinth of purple, scarlet, and fine silk most curiously woven together, dazzling of the eyes by reason of the variety and glittering brightness of the colours and flowers. 
Exod. 28.9, 10.  Upon each shoulder whereof there was a Beryl, or Onyx stone included in gold (which Josephus called Sardonix) in either of which stones, six names of the children of Israel were graven.  
Beside these, 
Vers. 15.  he had the Reasonable (or Breastplate) of Judgement, which he carried upon his breast, wherein was doctrine and truth. The [Breastplate of Urim] was a square thing about the breadth of a man's hand, woven and made of gold, Jacinth, purple, scarlet, and fine silk, whereto were fastened twelve precious stones of divers sorts, having engraven in them the names of the twelve sons of Israel according to the order of their nativity.  
Moreover, on his head he wore a long round Cap [in form of a Mitre] made of Jacinth and fine silk; upon the front whereof was set a brooch of gold in form of a half globe, which figured the ineffable name of God, Tetragrammaton, with these four Hebrew letters 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is, 
Exod. 28.36.  Holiness to the Lord] thereon engraven, setting forth by the wonderful brightness thereof the excellency of the divine Majesty. Also the golden Censer in his hand, by which he offered unto God the most fragrant odour of Frankincense, is a part of his ornaments.  
All which things as they are full of mysteries, so some of them excelled the rest: For [some boldly say, that stone which the high Priest did bear on his right shoulder, so often as he had pleased God with sacrifices, did so wonderfully shine, that they which stood a great way off might perceive it. 
Heb. 7.25.26. Heb. 2.17. & 5 2. Jer. 31.20.32. Luke 15.20.21  And (which is no less wonderful) the twelve stones which were on the Breastplate did foreshow unto them which went to the war, victory.] [But this is more clear and profitable; Here was typed out, how our great High Priest, bears up all his Israel by his mighty power, and bears them all in his heart before the Lord, who seeing them there, hath bowels of compassion on them, and remembers them continually.]  
Both the Reasonable, 
Jer 52.13. Neh 7.65. Dan 9.24, 25.  and the Onyx also have ceased (one hundred and five years, say some, yea above five hundred years before the Nativity of Christ to give their wont shine and brightness. [Yea they were no more in use after the Babylonians burned the Temple.]  
85. The Veil was woven of Jacinth, 
Exo. 26.31.33 & 36.35: 2 Chron. 3.14. Matth. 27.51. Mar. 15.38. Luke 23.45.  purple, scarlet, and fine silk, in most beautiful variety, and was adorned with Cherubims, and all manner of flowers embroidered thereon, which hung at the gate before the most holy place, and at the death of Christ was rend from the top to the bottom, even in the midst.   

The third Part of the Temple.  
86. THe Jews Isle, 
1 King. 6.3. 2 Chron 3.4. Ezek. 40.7.48. Heb. 9.3. Joseph. 8. Ant. 3. & 15.14. &. 6 ●el. & 7. Bel. 4.16. & l. 2. cout. Appionem.  which also is called the Entry, the Hall, the Holy Secular, and Solomon's Porch, being the third part of the Temple. Into the which men went up by sour steps, whose pavement chequered with marble of sundry forts, was open to the air, and uncovered, and was compassed about with a wall made with three degrees of stones of sundry colours. To the which were annexed great Porches broad, and above threescore and ten cubits high, borne up with marble pillars of fingle stones which were five and twenty cubits high, the roof covered with Cedar. The inset gates covered with gold, shined most gloriously: And it had three high gates; whereof the first tended toward the East, the second toward the South, and the third toward the North; every one of the which gates were shut with two silver doors thirty cubits high, and fifteen broad; but the West part had no gate, but was enclosed with a whole wall. And this was called the Jews Isle or Hall because only the Jews being clean, and not polluted, 
Luke 1.8, 9 Joh. 10. Act 3, 4, 5. Jos. 15. Ant. 14. & 2 Bel. Jud. 16. & 6 Bell 6. & 7. Bel. 4.  prayed there, and heard the words of the Law. In the which place, Christ taught the people oftentimes, and where the Jews would have stoned him; and Peter when he bade healed the lame man spoke unto the people, and converted five thousand men. Before this Hall enclosed with a lattice, there was a Table set, containing this Law engraven with letters of Greek and Latin, Every stranger that shall enter into the holy place shall die. And the Romans had given authority to the Jews to put to death as well Romans as Jews, which transgress this Law.   

The parts of the Jews Isle.  
87. THe Altar of  offering of brass which stood in the midst of the I'll open to the air and uncovered, 
Ex. 27.1.8.38.1. 2 Chron. 4.1. Leu. ●1. 15. & 6.9. & 9, 7.8 Ex. 40.10.  wherein that perpetual fire was daily maintained by the putting to of wood, which fire in old time the Lord sent down from heaven, when Aaron at the first time offered sacrifice in the Desert. On the which Altar, the Priests every day morning and evening, burnt sundry sort of Male-beasts, etc. which were clean, and without blemish, as Sheep, Oxen, and Goats, Turtles, Pigeons, and such like; which were consumed with this holy and perpetual fire, for a  offering and odor of sweet savour unto the Lord. But (Apocrypha fabulously saith) how in the time of the Captivity of Babylon, this perpetual fire was hidden by the Priests in a dry Pit or Well, 
2 Mac. 1. 18.3●.  and being sought for by Nehemiah the Priest threescore and ten years after the same, there could be no fire found in that place, but a certain thick water, which by divine power at the prayer of Nehemiah was set on fire. [So saith Apocryphas, 
Neh. 8.8.9. Neh 12.26.  in holy Scripture i● no word of this; but Nehemia is called Tirshata, or Governor, and Ezra the Priest]

Bel. 6.  or Treasuries, were side houses, long, broad, and high, like towers; In the which, the Priests when they should enter into the holy place, did put off their  garments, laying them up till their service was ended; wherein also they did eat the parts of the peace-offerings.  
92. The Sea of brass, containing very great store of water, which Solomon made, 
Exo. 30.18. & 38.8. 1 King. 7.23. 2 Chron. 4.2.  containing very great store of water, which Solomon made, and placed on the South side of the Temple upon twelve Oxen brass, wherein the Priests entering into the Temple to serve at the Altar, washed their hands and their feet.  
93. The new Gate, 
Jer. 26.20. & 36.10.  which was in the I'll of the Temple toward the South, where Jeremy foreshowing that the City and Temple should be destroyed, was taken. And where Baruch read before the people the Prophecy of Jeremi●h.  
94. The holy Gate, 
1 Esd. 9.38.  otherwise called the brazen Gate, which being in the In-set part of the Temple, opened toward the East; before the which Esdras read the Law of God before the people; and where the Rulers of the Jews, a long time after that, exhorted the seditious unto peace.  
95. The Porch of the Temple, 
1 King 6.3. & 7.6. 2 Chr. 3.4.  builded by Solomon before the Sanctuary, the which was twenty cubits long, and ten broad.  
96. The King's Seat which was very lofty, 
2 Chron. 9.17. Hier. in 2 Chro. 3.  which Solomon prepared for the Kings.  
97. The Loft (or Chambers) of the Singers [where divine praises were sung with voice and with divers Instruments. So some say, 
Ezek 40 44.  but no word of this in Ezek. 40. which points at a time not past, and legal, but to come, and Evangelical.]  
98. The place of Zacharias, 
2 Chron. 24.20 Mat. 23.35.  where he was stoned between the Temple, and the Altar.  
99 The place where the Jews would have stoned Christ. 
Joh. 10. 3●●    

The fourth part of the Temple.  
100 THe Isle which belonged to the Gentiles, being also called the out-set Court, which is the fourth part of the Temple, 
[Ezek. 40. See Number 97.] Jos. 15. Ant. 14. & 6. Bello. 6. & 7 Bel. 10. & lib. 2. contra Appionem. Ezek. 10.5. 2 King. 21, 5.  into the which men ascended by many stairs, whose in-set space open to the air paved with all manner of beautiful stones, had four excellent gates opening towards the four parts of the world, which were shut with doors of brass. This being a square porch much like a Cloister, upholden with pillars of Marble, and seeled over with Cedar, was thirty cubits broad. The whole circuit and compass of which porch, was five hundred paces. Into this Court or porch all sorts of Jews and Gentiles might enter, both clean and unclean; whereupon it was called the Court of the Gentiles. [Here hence it was that Christ did cast out twice the buyers and sellers, and suffered not any man to carry so much as a vessel through the same. So say some, but we find it was the Temple itself, Joh 2● 16. Mat. 21.12 Luke 19.45. Mark. 11.7. 
Joh. 1●. ●●●  See Number 110.] Here he discharged the woman taken in adultery. Here he taught oftentimes. Here also the Jews would have stoned him. Finally here it was that he was glorified before the Gentiles with a voice from heaven.   

The parts of the Court of the Gentiles.  
101. THe Golden Eagle was of great weight set up by Herod the greater, 
Ios. 17. Antiq. 8. & 12. chap. Also 1 Belli jud. 21. & 2 Bel. 1.  over the greatest gate of the Temple; and was at the last pulled down by the Jews, and cut in pieces, whereupon arose a great tumult, and many were slain.  
102. The Treasury of the Temple, in Hebrew called Corban, a chest wherein was offered, and kept such money, as served for the necessaries of the sacrifices for the sustentation of the poor, 
Mar. 7.7. Mat. 27.6. 2 King. 12.9.  and for the repairing of the Temple. When Helidore, who was sent by the King of the Syrians, sought to take the spoil of this treasury [it is said] he was scourged by Angels from heaven: And when Pilate by the like temerity would have bestowed this holy treasure for the bringing in of waters; 
2 Chron. 24. 2 Mac. 3. Ios. 18. Ant. 5. Ios. 17. Bel. 11. 2 Mac. 4. Joan. 8. Mar. 12 Luke 21. Ios. 18. Ant. 13. & 19 Mat. 20.19. Mar. 10.33. Lu. 18.32. Mar. 12.41.  he was let and hindered by a general uproar of the people, the which nevertheless the Romans, when they had won the City, took, and carried away. Also we read [in 2 Maccab.] that Lysimachus was slain near unto this place: Here it was that Christ taught himself to be the light of the world, and said that he should be lifted up upon the Cross by the Jews (or the Romans rather.) Christ sitting here, pronounced that the poor widow, offering two mites, had given more than all the rich. Over this treasury, for a monument of his adverse fortune turned into prosperity, King Agrippa hanged up that golden chain, which the Emperor Cajus gave unto him, being equal in weight to that iron chain with which his hands were bound by the command of the Emperor Tiberius.  
103. Achas (or Ahaz his) Dial, 
2 King. 20.11. Isa. 38.8.  the King, which he made, wherein the King Ezekias being sick, for a sign of recovering his health, the shadow of the Sun, by divine miracle, went backwards ten degrees.  
104. The North Gate, 
1 Chro. 26. [Ezek. 40.23]  whereof mention is oftentimes made in the Scripture, and in Josephus.  
105. The South Gate mentioned oftentimes in Scripture, 
1 Chro. 26.13.  and in Josephus.  
106. The West Gate, 
1 Chro. 26.13 1 Chro. 23.  the which also in the book of * Chronicles is called the gate of foundation. [* Qu. If meant of the gate of the fountain, Neh. 3.15.]  
107. The East Gate, which also is called the gate Sur, otherwise Seir; also the King's gate, and the Beautiful gate, 
1 Chon 9.26. Nehem. 3. 2 King. 11.15. chap. 2 Chron. 27. Acts 3.1, 2.  because of all the rest it was the greatest, highest and fairest, by which also there was the principal entrance into the Temple. This being decayed was repaired by King Joatham. And near unto this gate the Apostle Peter with his word (in the name of Jesus Christ) healed the man which was lame from his mother womb, and sat there begging of alms.  
108. The Towers of Trumpeters, 
Num. 10. Jos. 5. Bel. 9  which were erected aloft in the west corners of the Temple. In the tops whereof, the Priests, wanting the use of bells, with two silver Trumpets, 
Num. 28.  called the people unto the Temple. From thence also they told the people of Festival days, of Sabbaths, of Fasts, and of solemn Feasts.  
109. Here Christ writing with his finger on the ground made the accusers of the women taken in adultery ashamed, 
John 8.2, 3.  and set her free.  
110. Here Christ making a whip of cords, 
[See Number 100] Joh. 2.16. Mat. 21.12. Mar. 11.17.  cast out the buyers and sellers, together with their Merchandise.  
Thus far we have spoken of the Temple, and of the parts thereof, and now we will prosecute the other parts of the Daughter of Zion.  
111. The Theatre which was builded in form of a half circle, by Herod the Ascalonite King of the Jews, 
Jos. 15. & Ant. 9 & 20. Ant. 15  near unto the Palace of the Macchabees. In the circuit whereof in Imagery was set forth the Titles, the Victories, and Spoils of Augustus Caesar, shining with silver and gold; where the better, and more worthy sort sitting upon stairs and seats made round in compass, and the rest standing therein, beheld the players, and actors, and Musicians playing their Comedies and Tragedies, and other Plays.   

The Places of the Daughter of Zion.  
112. THe Throne of Solomon. 
1 King. 10. 2 Chron 9.17. Jos. 8. Ant. 5.  It was a very great Throne of Ivory, covered over with shining gold, close and round in the top like a Judgement seat, having six steps or stairs, at each end whereof were twelve Lions set. In this Throne King Solomon sat, when he heard the controversies of the people, and pronounced Judgement, and capital sentences, appointing Laws and Statutes. 
Lyra in 3. King 7.  Herein also he sat, when in royal manner he would show forth his pomp, glory, and riches, and when he intended to bestow upon his faithful servants rewards.  
113. The Passage which King Solomon made of strong timber, to go from his Palace into the Temple. 
2 Chron. 9   
114. The Tribunal, was a public place, set before the house of Pilate, 
John 19.13. Mat. 27.19. Mar. 15.  and appointed for Judgement, where the Lieutenants of Rome were wont to give sentence, which in Greek was called LITHOSTROTOS, that is, a place of pavement, and in Hebrew GABATHA, because it was high and lofty. Pilate sitting in this judgement seat, and having good will to free Jesus standing before him, took water and washed his hands before the people, saying, I am innocent from the blood of this just man: But all the people crying out, Crucify him, Crucify him, his blood be on us, and on our children: And further laying treason to his charge in that he made himself a King, he condemned Christ to the death of the Cross in this form of words: we may find them in a certain Author, from whence we faithfully report them.  
Jesum Nazarenum subversorem Gentis, contemptorem Caesaris, & falsum Messiam, ut majorum suorum testimonio probatum est, ducite ad communis supplicii locum; 
Salig. Tom. 8. cap. 7.  & cum ludibrio Regiae Majestatis, in medio duorum latronum cruci affigite. I lictor, expedi cruces; that is to say, Carry ye to the place of common execution Jesus of Nazareth, a subverter of his Nation, a coutemner of Caesar, and 
* [This seems to cross that in Joh. 19.19, 20.22.]  a false Messiah, as is proved by the testimony of the Elders of his own people, and crucify him between two thiefs in reproach and scorn of his Kingly Majesty; Go Hangman, and make ready with speed the crosses. The which sentence being pronounced, he delivered him to the Soldiers to be crucified: Who brought forth Jesus, deprived of all beauty and comeliness, and more like a Leper, 
Isa. 53, 2.3.  then to himself, by reason of the pains which they had laid on him; but that he might be known unto the people, they put on him again his own garments, and carrying his cross, with two thiefs through the Gate of Judgement, to be crucified in Mount Calvary.  
Pilate sitting in this Tribunal seat in time of an Insurrection for bestowing the holy treasures of the Temple, 
Jos 18. Ant. 5. & 2 Bel. 8. Euseb. 2. Hist. Bel. 6. Niceph. 2 Hist. Ec. 10.  which were called Corban, gave a secret sign to the Soldiers which were privily armed under their , that they should not use swords, but clubs, to beat down the tumultuous Jews; By which means many of them were slain, many sore wounded, and very many trodden under foot, even to death, by their own company in the tumult.  
After this Florus the Lieutenant sitting in the same judgement seat, caused many of the Noblemen, 
Jos. 2. Bel. 14.15.  and Gentlemen of the Jews, to be beaten and torn with rods and whips and to be fastened on crosses, who also caused many other massacres about the City, nothing sparing neither women, children, nor sucking babes. The which were certain beginnings of vengeance taken by Almighty God upon the obstinate Jews for the shedding of the innocent blood of Christ.  
115. The Tower of Strato, 
Jos. 13. Ant. 18. Bel. 3.  in Greek called Pyrgus Sratonis, situate between the Castle Antonia and the Temple, it was a hollow and an obscure passage where Antigonus was slain by the soldiers of his brother.  
116. The Valley of Cedron, 
2 King. 23.4.6.12. Sopho. 1. Ios. 14. Ant. 8 & 15. Ant. 14. Item 1. Bel 5. & 6. Bel. 6, 7. & 6. Ios. 20. Ant, 16. Eus. 2. Hist. Ec. 23▪  [or Kidron] broad, deep, and dark, which in manner of a ditch or trench compassed the Temple round about. And because it was disposed after the fashion of a Mortar, it was called in Hebrew Macthes, and in Latin Pila. This was so exceeding deep, that men could not look down from the roof of the Temple into the bottom thereof, but their eyes would dazzle, and their heads seem to turn with giddiness. Herein Merchants, and all sorts of Chapmen dwelled. Into this Valley James the brother of the Lord, first Bishop of Jerusalem (say Roman Writers) for professing Jesus the Son of God on the feast of Passeover, was cast down headlong from the battlements of the Temple at the command of Anani a Saduce, chief Priest, and was immediately knocked on the head with a Fuller's club, and was there buried near unto the Temple; his Monument remaining there a long time after (as some writ.)  
117. The Wall of the Cross [as some note it] by which Christ having received his judgement to be cruicified, went forward with painful and bloody steps to mount Calvary. 
D. Petrus Poteus, & M. Matthaeus Stenberch did measure the City of Jerusalem long since, by whose report this Description is made [many hundred years after.]   
Sect. 2. For [thus * some Romanists writ of it] beginning at the Palace of Pilate, he made six and twenty steps (which make threescore and five foot) unto the place where the cross was laid upon him.  
Sect. 3. From whence (all the City gazing on him) carrying his cross on his sore shoulders, he came towards the West, or rather Northwest fourscore steps, which make two hundred foot, to the place, where men say, that he fell down under his Cross.  
Sect. 4. From thence going forward by threescore steps, and three foot (which make a hundred fifty, and three foot) he came to the place where (they say) the blessed Virgin Mary, 
Also Petrus Calentinus in his book entitled, The way of the Cross. See Number 123.  with John the Apostle, met with him. And proceeding from hence by threescore and eleven steps, and one foot, and a half (which make a hundred seventy and nine foot) he came to a certain crossway, where Simon of Cyren was compelled to bear the hinder part of the Cross with Christ. [Is not this a notable proof with Scripture for saying on beads Latin prayers at cross-ways.]  
Sect. 5. Taking his way hence by one hundred ninety, and one step, and half a foot (which cometh to four hundred and seventy foot) [How punctually did some thus measure the feet some hundred years after] he came to the place where [they writ Veronica] met with him. And from thence going three hundred thirty six steps, and two feet (which amount to eight hundred forty and two feet) he came to the Judiciary gate, where once again he fell with his Cross.  
Sect. 6. From thence he ascending faintly a very hard and stony way towards the North, he gained three hundred forty and eight steps, and two foot (the sum eight hundred seventy and two foot) which brought him unto a twofold way, where certain women weeping spoke unto him: And from hence labouring forward threescore steps and one, and half a foot (which make four hundred and four foot) he fell down the last time, at the foot of the Mount Calvary. From thence he wearily, and faintingly went forward eighteen steps, or forty five foot to the place where the Hangmen drew off his , where they gave him to drink wine mixed with myrrh and gall.  
Sect. 7. Then he went on twelve steps, or thirty foot, even to the place where he was nailed on the Cross on mount Calvary. So that from the Palace of Pilate, unto the place where jesus was crucified, the distance is a thousand three hundred and seven steps, or by another account, three thousand two hundred sixty and eight foot.  
We have made such exact description (saith the P. P. Author) and demonstration of the Way of the Cross (as also the Way of the Captivity hereafter expressed under the Number of two hundred and five) to the end that every Christian man, in all places, even in the doors of his house, or walking oftentimes in his Garden, or being in a journey, or in the Temple, either lying in his bed, may by the imagination of his mind conceive the like way, and with godly affection of the heart may meditate upon the passion of Christ; the which no doubt, is both acceptable unto God, and for our own souls health most profitable, as the writings of good men by their often exhortation do testify. [But a far better help is appointed and afforded of God, even the holy Scriptures themselves, that do best and most affectingly set forth Christ's Passion, as Isa. 53.1, 2. Mat. 26.20. to the end of Mat. 27. Mar. 14. Joh. 18. & 19]  
118. The way of entrance for the Horses, 
Neh. 3.28. 2 King. 11.19. 2 Chron 23. Jos. 9 Antony's 7.  which was between the Palaces of Solomon, and of the Queen. By which Athalia the Queen being brought out of the horse-gate, was slain in the valley of the brook Cedron (or Kidron)  
119. The Gallery, made in form of a stone bridge, with many arches, extending itself with ample largeness over the common street, adorned with open walks upon the same. From the which there was a passage from the Palace of Pilate into the Castle of Antonia, and so from thence into the Temple. From this place, being very safe, 
Joan. 19  the Lieutenants of Rome were wont to speak unto the people; whereon Pilate standing, exhibited Jesus to the Princes and people of the Jews to be looked on, being very sore scourged, spit on, 
Breid. 14. Jul. Salig. 8. cap. 7.  clothed with a purple cloak, and wearing a sharp crown of thorns upon his head, saying unto them, Behold the man, that he being thus afflicted, they might have compassion on him: But they with confused voices cried, Crucify him, Crucify him. Whereas yet an arch of stone is to be seen, 
Ios. 2. Belli jud. 6. & 5. Bel. 9  and is showed unto strangers (written by Relick-mungers some hundred years after) with this Inscription, Tolle, Tolle, crucifig— the rest cannot be read by reason Antiquity hath worn it out. From this Gallery King Agrippa pronounced an eloquent Oration to pacify the seditious people exhorting them to obey the Romans. Josephus maketh mention many times of this Gallery.  
120. The Cross of Christ, 
Pasch. Descrip. jerus. 207.  which was laid on his shoulder, was fifteen foot long, and eight foot over, as we have received by Tradition of the Elders.  
121. Here it is said that Christ fell the first time under his Cross. 
Pasch. d. 207.   
122. Here also by Tradition of some Fathers, it is said, that the blessed Virgin Mary with John, and certain godly women stood, as Christ passed by with his Cross.  
123. Christ being come to these two ways (of which in Number 117. Sect. 4.) and being wearied with the heavy burden of his Cross, is said to have fallen. For the which cause, 
Mat. 27.32. Mar. 15.21. Luke 23.26. Breid. 14. jul. Sa. 1.8. c. 7. Pas. d. 208.  the soldiers and Jews, fearing that he would faint before he could be crucified, took a certain man coming out of the Country, named, Simon of Cyren, and compelled him to carry the Cross after Jesus; (or to help him to carry it.)   

The third Part of the City.  
124. The second City, this is, the third part of the City, 
2 King. 22. 2 Chron. 34, 8. Sopho. 1. Hier. in 2. Chron. 34.8. Ios. 6. Bel. 10. See page 2.  the which also had many narrow ways whereof mention is made sometime in the Scripture; wherein, among others, many Prophets and Noblemen dwelled. This when the Romans had gotten, they were by the seditious again driven out of the City. [The name of it in Hebrew is Jerushalajim of the dual number, implying, (it seems) two Cities, the higher above the lower, to which the Apostle seems to allude, Gal. 4.25, 26.]   

The places of the second City.  
125. The Lake Amigdalon, 
Ios. 6. Bel. 12.  near unto which Titus erected a Bulwark.  
126. The house of Mary, the Mother of John, and of Mark, one of the seventy and two Disciples of Christ, 
Acts 12.12.4.  wherein the faithful of the Primitive Church were wont to assemble themselves, and to pray. Where also after the Martyrdom of James the Apostle, when Peter was cast into prison by Herod Agrippa, they prayed without ceasing for his deliverance: 
Sal. Tom. 8. c. 4.  Who at the last being brought out of prison by the Angel, and knocking at the door of this house, was by a Damsel brought into the same. In the which place afterward a Church-house was builded, which was the first of the Christian Greeks. And is an Episcopal Seat, which the Syrians hold unto this day; [said the Author.]  
127. The house of Olda [or Hulda the Prophetess, 
2 King. 22.14. 2 Chro. 34.22.  [not a Nun, but] the wife of Sellum [a famous Nobleman, the great Uncle (say some) of the Prophet Jeremy] whose counsel being asked by the King Josias, she foretold him of the destruction of Jerusalem.  
128. A Conduit, 
Ios. 2. Bel. jul. 18. & 6. Bel. 6.  and Fountain, which by Pipes sent forth water aloft, and by the like Pipes derived water into Herod's Palace, and about the same, filling the Cisterns thereof.  
129. The Wood market, 
Ios. 2. Bel. 24.  which Cestius set on fire.  
130. The habitation of the Rechabites; 
Jer. 35.2, 3.  (say some) who living Religiously according to the Commandment of their Father, possessed neither fields nor vineyards; and like pilgrims of this world, dwelled not in houses, but in tents, and wholly abstained from wine. Wherefore when through the necessity of war they were compelled to come into the City, Jeremy [not drinking wine unto them, but] by the Commandment of God, bidding them drink wine, they would drink no wine. By which example of their obedience, the same Prophet reprehended the disobedience of the obstinate Jews, neglecting the Commandment of God, and therefore he did set before the one a punishment, and before the other a reward.  
131. A Lake (or a Ditch) which was situate between two walls of the City, 
Isa. 22.11.  whereof mention is made in Isaiah the Prophet.  
132. The middle Tower, 
Ios. 6. Bel. 9  which was in the middle wall.  
133. A Monument of Alexander Jannaeus the high Priest and King, 
Ios. 13 Antony's 21. & 6 Bel.  wherein he was buried by the authority of the Pharisees, very sumptuously.  
134. A Monument of Johannes Hircanus, high Priest and Captain, of whom mention is often made in Josephus. 
Ios. 6. Bel. 7.   
135. The second Wall, the which is also called the Middle-wall, 
2 Chron 32. Neh. 3.8 & 12 Ios. 6. Bel. 6.  beautified with many gates, and divided with fourteen Towers; the which wall Hezekias the King repaired, and made more strong and higher.  
136. The Palace of Herod, which was builded by Herod the Ascalonite King of the Jews (who killed the Innocents') with sundry sorts of polished marble stones near unto the West-wall of the City, from the old wall, even to the middle wall, 
Mat. 2. Ios. 6 Bel. 6.  being most singularly beautified with silver and gold, most strongly fortified with an iron gate, and three most excellent Towers, to wit, Hippic, Mariam, and Phasel, which in greatness, strength, 
Ios. 2 Bel. 17. Ios. 6. Bel. 6.  and beauty, excelled all the Towers of the whole world. Within was the King's Hall, which being builded on high, and very lofty with unspeakable magnificence, was wholly compassed about with most beautiful Towers, Parlours, Chambers, Galleries, Porches, and with Pillars, with which there was an enclosed Court, open to the air.  
In this Hall Christ was presented to Herod Antipas, Tetrarch of Galilee (who had killed John the Baptist;) This Herod asked Christ many questions, 
Luke 23.8. Mat. 14.1. Verse 10. Luke 23.9, 10. Vers. 11. Mat. 27.28. Breid. 14. jul.  who was there constantly accused by the Jews; whom when he answered nothing, the same Herod, and his whole rout, despised, and scorned, and so sent him to Pilate clad in white, and in scarlet, as if he had been a fool, or a Kingly Jester [No wonder therefore if Christ's members be scornfully used. Then they should look unto Jesus, and follow his steps, 1 Pet. 2.21, 22. Heb. 12.2.] Now that Hall, or Palace, is a School for children of the Infidels.  
137. The Middle Gate of the second wall wherein the outwardmost walls being broken, 
Jer. 39.3. & 52.  the Princes of the King of Babylon did sit.  
138. The outwardmost Court, compassing the Hall of Herod round about, 
Jos. 2. Bel. 1.7.  where the King's soldiers did watch and ward; Wherein was the King's prison whereinto malefactors were put. In this prison Saint Peter was shut up by King Herod Agrippa, who had slain James the greater. Which Peter being bound with two chains, 
Act. 12.1, 2.  and most safely kept by four quaternions of soldiers all the days of sweet, (or unleavened) bread: But in the night before the day whereon he should have been put to death, he was by the Angel of the Lord loosed from his chains, and by him brought forth through an iron gate, by the first and second watch into the City. (As in Act. 12.)  
139. The Lake called Strutium, 
Jos. 6. Bel. Jud. 12.  which was the middle Lake. Here also Titus caused a Bulwark to be made.  
140. The Tower Hippic, which being four square, was builded in the second wall upon a high hill. 
Ios. 6. Bel. 5, 6, 7.  which being four square, was builded in the second wall upon a high hill. It was fourscore and five cubits high; and having two tops, was to be seen afar off. It was marvellous strong, builded by Herod the elder, who having in the war lost his friends the Hippicks, called this Tower after their name, Hippic.  
141. The Tower Mariam, which being fifty cubits high, stood aloft in most beautiful manner, 
Ios. 15. Ant. 9 & Bel. 16. & 6 Bel. 6.  upon a high hill of the old wall, which Herod builded for a memorial of Mariam his best beloved wife, whom he had slain, and called it after her name Mariam. And because it carried the name of a Queen, therefore it was more beautiful in show then the other.  
142. The Tower Phaselus, 
Ios. 14. Ant. 22. & 16. Ant. 5.  which being fourscore and ten cubits high, set upon a high place of the old wall, and made aloft in form of a ball, was of wonderful height and exceeding strong; Which Herod builded after the fashion of the Tower Pharus in Alexandria. And in the honour of his brother Phaselus called it Phaselus, who being taken prisoner by the Parthians, 
Ios. 17. Ant. 14. & 1. Bel. 11. & 6 Bel. 6. & 7. Bel. 18.  and having no liberty to use neither weapon nor hands, ran his head against a stone, and so killed himself. How this, and the other two Towers were left standing after the destruction of Jerusalem, read under the number of (1) going before.  
143. Herod's Park, which had in it an Orchard and a Garden, watered with Ponds, Rivers, and Fountains, 
Jos. 6. Bel. 6.  replenished with sundry wild beasts, Fishes and Fouls, having many large Walks, and round about the same, many towers of tame Doves.  
144. The Hospital, 
Jos. 13. Ant. 15. Egesi. 1. Hist. Jud. 1.  which Hircanus the high Priest founded with the money which he got out of the Sepulchre of David, wherein pilgrims, poor men, and such as were impotent, were sustained and kept.  
145. The wrestling place, 
Ios. 6. Bel. 6.  the which was placed in Herod's Palace. It was large, serving in the Winter time for Wrestlers, and for other exercises, and pastimes, wherewith men recreated themselves.   

The fourth part of the City.  
146. THe new City, called in Greek Kaenopolis,

171. The Lantern Tower [or Tower of Furnaces] situate on the North-end of the City, which men think was so called,

From which place, though it were but a little way off, yet by reason that mount Olivet ●ay between the City Jerusalem could not be seen, except from a little hill, from whence part of mount Zion might be seen. Christ oftentimes lodged in this house of Martha, where he preached the word of God to Mary sitting at his feet. Here he raised up Lazarus to life, after he had been buried four days, and began to stink. Here, he sitting in the house of Simon the Leper, at the table together with Lazarus, Martha serving them, Mary anointed him with a most precious ointment.  
179. Bethphage, a little village, belonging to the Priests, seituate at the East foot at the mount Olivet, 
Mat. 21.1. Mark 11.1. Luke 19.22. joh. 12.1. Luke 19.41, 42  from whence Christ sent two of his Disciples unto the Castle Opposite, or over against them, to fetch the Ass and the Colt; which being brought, and the people's  laid on the Colt, he road on the same into Jerusalem;  
But coming down from mount Olivet, and seeing the City, he wept on her, and prophesied her utter ruin, because she knew not the day of her Visitation.  
180 The Castle [or Village] Opposite, 
Mat. 26.6, 7. Mat. 11.3. Luke 19.23.  or which lieth over against you (to use the words of Christ) when he sent his Disciples to fetch him the Ass. It was a Village right over against Bethphage. [It seems to be Bethany.]  
181. The Well, near unto Bethany, where when the Lord came to raise up Lazarus, Martha first met with him,

Jos. 15.8. & 18.16. 2 King. 23.10. 2 Chr. 28.3 & 33.6. & 19.2 & 32 35.   
185. Gehennom, the which also was called Benhinnom, that is to say, the Valley of the sons of Ennom, (or Hinnon.) It was a place which was situate in the Suburbs of the City of Jerusalem toward the Southeast. In which place of Benhinnom was the Tabernacle, and the Idol Moloch: the which Idol as it was chief and principal among all the other Idols, so the same being the greatest abomination, and most hated unto God, he oftentimes forbade the same in the Scriptures. It was an Idol, the matter whereof was brass, made in the likeness and smilitude of a King, (of which some writ thus.) It was hollow within, and had a head like to the head of a Calf, the other parts or members of the body having the shape and fashion of a man, the arms whereof were stretched out, whereto the children that should be offered were made fast, and with the vehement and extreme heat of the Idol were burned, and utterly consumed, being so holden as it were of the same between his arms. For when the Idol was made red hot with the fire which they had put into the hollowness of the same, than the most wicked parents of these children in most cruel and barbarous manner, 
Leu. 18.21. & 20 2, 3. 1 King. 11.7.  delivered up their sons and their daughters to (and into) these detestable and devilish embrace of the Idol, that so they might be burnt. And this they did of a certain devilish devotion, offering them up to the devil Moloch for a  offering of most filthy savour. Amidst these horrible torments wherewith they were thus tormented, the miserable Clamour of the children could in no wise be heard, 
Act 7.43. 2 King. 16. & 21.  whereby the parents might in any sort be moved to pity or compassion, for that the Priests of this Idol Moloch, during the whole time of the sacrifice, did usually make an exceeding great noise both with the Trumpets, and Drums, or Tabrets. Whereupon that place was called also Tophet.  
In this abominable manner, 
2 Chron. 28.33. 2 King. 23.10.  Achaz, and Manasses also, Kings of Juda, being even as mad as the common people, offered up their Sons to the Devil Moloch. The which detestable madness, the godly King Josias seeking at the length to redress, broke in pieces the Image of Moloch, cut down his Groves, and defiled the place thereof with the filthiness of dead Carcase, of bones, and of other unclean things, and appointed it to be a perpetual dunghill for ever. 
Jer. 7.5. & 19.7.32.35. Isa. 30.   
In this Valley Jeremy at the Commandment of God, breaking an earthen pot in pieces against the ground before the Elders of Juda; prophesied that God would after the selfsame manner, break and destroy both the City, and the people. According to which Prophecy, there was so great and mighty a multitude of people slain there, because they had filled this place with the blood of innocent children, that this place was called no more the valley of Tophet, but Poly and run, that is to say, a heap of many dead bodies, whose carcases lying there unburied, became meat for the birds of the air, and for the beasts of the fields.  
186. Gethsemani, a firm place at the foot of mount Olivet. 
Matth. 26.26. Mar. 14.32.  This had many fruitful Olive trees. When Christ intended to go unto the Garden that was in mount Olivet, he came from his last Supper into this place, heavy and sorrowful unto the death.  
187. The Garden of Olivet, 
Mat 26.39. Mar. 14.35. Luke 22.41. John 18.1. Hier. in loc. Heb lit. G. Broc. it in 6. Bre. 14. Jul.  in the mount of Olivet, where Christ prayed unto his Father three times, that the cup of his Passion might pass from him. And being in an agony as he continued in prayer, he sweat blood which fell drop by drop unto the earth, at what time he was comforted by an Angel from heaven. In Hieroms time, there was a Church builded on this place, which is as yet to be seen.  
188. The King's Garden, 
2 King. 25.4. Cant. 4. Jer. 39.4. & 52 Jos. 7. Aut. 15. & 9 Aut. 11.  the which also was called the enclosed Garden. It was in the Suburbs of Jerusalem, walled round about. And like to a Paradise it was planted with trees, of all sorts of fruits, with herbs, with flowers of most sweet savour, and what soever else that might delight the senses. It had also most pleasant and convenient walks. In this was that famous fountain Rogel, and the stone Zoeleth, of both which there is often mention made in the Scripture, where Adonias when he purposed to reign, offered oblations, and with his followers made a feast.  
189. The Grove of Moloch, consecrated to the Idol Moloch, where the worshippers thereof, after they had ended their sacrifice, 
2 King 23.10. Hier. in Jer. 1.19. & in Mat. 10.  committed fornication under the shadow of the trees.  
190. The Mount of offence, it was a very high mountain, 
1 King. 11.7. 2 King. 23.10.  situate on the Southside of the King's Garden; where the most wise Solomon being now old, was seduced and made foolish by his strange wives, building a Temple to Melchom the Idol of the Ammonites, which also he worshipped.  
191. The Mount Olivet,

Breid. 14. jul.  or Mount of Olives, so called by reason of the great plenty of Olives which grew there, called also in Greek Elaeon, which otherwise also is named the famous [or glorious] and holy Mountain. It was situate on the East side of Jerusalem. It was separated from the high City, the valley of Cedron lying between, distant from the City a Sabbath day's journey, according to the Scripture; but according to Josephus, it was distant five furlongs, who also addeth that the top of the hill was six, furlongs from the City; for it was of so great height, that from the same, not only almost all the streets of Jerusalem, but also the dead Sea might easily be seen. And besides the Olives, it abounded with Palms, Pines, myrtles, and other fruitful Trees.  
In the top of this hill, 
2 Sam. 15.  the holy King David flying from the face of his son Absolom, weeping, and barefooted worshipped God. In this Mountain also his Son Solomon forgetting all godliness, erected a Temple to Astaroth the Idol of the Sidonians, right over against the Temple of jerusalem (from whence every one that committed Idolatry might be seen.) 
1 King. 11 7. 2 King. 23.3.  The which also with all other places dedicated to Idols, josias utterly destroyed.  
Christ oftentimes came up into this Mountain, both for quietness sake, 
Luke 19.29.41. Luke 22.2. Mat. 21.1. John 18.8. Act 1.12.  and also to pray, tarrying there all the night. Also from the top of this Mount he ascended into heaven in the presence of his Disciples standing there, and beholding him, after he had blessed them.  
192. The Mount of Offence, a high Mountain, on the other side of the brook Cedron, 
1 King. 11.7. 2 King. 23.8. Broc. itin. 6.

This also Josias broke down. In the time of the Maccabees a Castle was builded on this Mount, some tokens whereof are to be seen at this day.  
193. The Fuller's Monument; 
Jos. 6. Bel. 6.  the which was not far from the Corner gate, in the North-east.  
194. The Palm Trees, whereof mention is made in Nehemiah,

195. The Dove-house, on the South end of the Mount Olivet;

196. The Bridge of Cedron, made of stone, 
Breid. 14. Jul.  with one arch erected over the brook Cedron, which Helena the Empress caused to be made in that place.  
197. The Sepulchre of the Virgin Mary, 
Joan Damas●. de dormitione. Deipar.  which was in the valley of Jehoshaphat near unto the firm place of Gethseman, at the foot of Mount Olivet wherein the body of the most holy, and blessed Virgin, was decently buried by the Apostles. [From this Traditional Relic, not once mentioned in Scripture, is sucked no small advantage.]  
198. The Common place of burial, 
2 King. 23.32. jer. 26.  which was in the Valley of Jehoshaphat, where the common sort of people were buried.  
199. The Fountain of Siloe, whereto was joined the Pool of Siloe, 
Isa. 8. & 22. Neh. 3.15.  the which also is called the lower Pool, lying on the Westside of the valley of Jehoshaphat, and springing from the root of Mount Zion. The water thereof being clear, sweet, and plentiful, ran with a still and calm stream into the brook Cedron.  
This Fountain King Hezekias repaired. 
J●h 9.7.11. Broc. itin. 6. Breid. 14 jul. Pasch. die. 197. Io. 6. Bel. 11.  In the Pool of this Fountain the man which was borne blind washing his eyes which Christ had anointed with clay, and his spittle, received his sight. Josephus testifieth that Siloe, & all other waters which were without the City, did so fail and vanish away before the coming of Titus Caesar, that water was sold near unto them. And after his coming, they did so abound to him and his host, 
Salig. Tom. 10▪ cap. 1.  that they had water enough for them and for their cattles. Concerning the virtue of this water, the most diligent Surveyer of this place Saligniacus writeth in this sort, The water of this Fountain is of great price at this day, even among the Saracens themselves. For where as naturally they be rammage and stink like Goats, they washing themselves and their children therein, do mitigate the evil savour thereof. The Turks also make great account thereof, for that they find by experience, that the use thereof is good for the sight of their eyes.  
200. or 201. (See before Number 44.)  
Stephen the Deacon, 
Act 7.58. with Act. 6 5.  in the very flower of his youth, was stoned to death, praying to God for them that stoned him, whose garments the young man Paul kept. This man was the first that triumphed with the palm of martyrdom.

The Brook Cedron, 
2 King. 23.4, 6.12. Jer 31. Jos. 8. Ant. 1▪ & 6. Bel. 13. Ezek. 47.8.  [or Kidron] is a River on the East side of Jerusalem between the same and Mount Olivet, which being increased with divers springs issuing from all parts out of the Mountain, and Pools, ran through the valley of Jehoshaphat, and Gehennom with a silver stream, and so passed through the plains of the wilderness into the dead Sea.  
On the banks of both sides this River, there grew many fruitful Trees, 
Broc. itin. 6. Sa●. Tom. 9 cap. 1 2 Sam. 15.30.  the pleasant show whereof, together with the Gardens near adjoining, which were watered with the Crystal streams of Cedron, greatly delighted the eyes and minds of such as walked by the same. King David passed over this River bore footed, bore headed, and with watery eyes, accompanied with his most trusty friends, flying from the face of his son Absolom. Christ also went over the same, 
Joh. 18.1.  with his Disciples, when he went to the Garden of Mount Olivet. [203. In Latin was Tugurium S. Pelagia. As the 44. Number, so this of Number, 203. was not judged worthy the Translating by T. T. nor by H. J.)

It is a wide and deep Valley between Jerusalem and Mount Olivet, compassing the City on the East part, which is made very fruitful by the passage of the brook Cedron. The great deepness of this Valley was much filled by Titus and Adrian the Roman Emperors, casting into the same great store of earth with the ruins of the Temple and City, yet it was not therewith any thing near leveled. 
2 Chron. 15.2.9.30.  In this Valley, the godly and religious Kings of Juda, Asa, Ezechias and Josias burned the Idols of the Temple, and cast their ashes into the brook Cedron.  
This Valley was the common place of burial for the whole City, where all the common sort of people were buried. 
Joel 3.2.12. Sal. Tom 9 c. 2.  For it was the manner of the Jews to bury their dead Courses out of the City. And in the same place, the Turks are now buried.

These small pricks traced forth in length (as you see) do demonstrate the way, by which Christ was lead captive for the redemption of mankind. For being come into the Garden of Mount Olivet to pray after his last Supper in the Parlour of Mount Zion; and having offered to God his Father the holy sacrifice of prayers, returning from thence he met with his enemies which came to take him, to whom he yielded himself; who had scarce gone forty steps from the place where he prayed, but the Soldiers which were sent from the high Priests and rulers of the people, laid hands on him, took him, and bound him.  
From whence he was presently carried as a meek Lamb by those ravening Wolves, armed with weapons, over the brook Cedron, to the house of Annas [which was distant from the place where he was taken, 
Mat. 27.2. Mar. 15.1. Luke 22.66. joh. 18.28.  two thousand three hundred and sixty paces.] And from hence he was carried to the Palace of Caiphas [three hundred and thirty paces.] And so afterward he was conducted by the Soldiers, and by the people to the Palace of Pilate [which was distant from that of Caiphas a thousand paces.] 
Luke 23.7.11.  And from thence to the Palace of Herod [which was distant three hundred and fifty paces.] Lastly, from thence again to the Palace of Pilate he was carried [by another way than that which he came, the distance of six hundred , which make about the length of half a mile and more.] The paces whereof we speak here, contain two foot and a half.]  
206. The way to Anathoth, 
Broc. it in 6. Jer. 1. Luke 10.30. & 18.35. Mar. 10, 46. Mar. 26.36. Mar. 14.32. Luke 22 39  to Bethel, and to the wilderness.  
207. The way to Jericho, [and to Gilgal] of the which there is mention made in some of the Evangelists. Matth. 20.29.  
208. Here the three Apostles, Peter, James, and John, sit, while Christ prayed in the Garden, being about a stones cast from the selfsame place. 
Mat. 26.36.   
209. Here the other eight Apostles tarried, being distant about a quarter of a mile from the other three places.  
210. 
Mat. 26.47. Mar. 14 43. joh. 18.3. Luke 22.47.  Here Christ, to make us free, was betrayed with a kiss by the Traitor Judas, and bound with hard and straight bands (as if he had been an evil doer) by the Jews, whom he beat down backward to the ground by the word of his mouth. There Simon Peter moved suddenly with great fervency, struck the servant of the high Priest, whose name was Malchus, and cut off his right ear, which Christ immediately restored again. But the rest of the Apostles being afraid, left the Lord and fled.  
211. 
Mat. 23. & 24. & 25. Mar. 13. chap. Luke 21. chap.  In this place of Mount Olivet [a few days before that beforesaid] right over against the Temple near to a certain water, Christ sat with his Disciples, making a long Sermon concerning the destruction of Jerusalem, the afflictions of the godly to come, the coming of false Prophets, the signs of the end of the world, and concerning the manner of the last judgement. In the which place, there was afterward builded a Temple which is now desolate.  
212. 
Mat. 21.1. Mat. 11.1. Luke 19 29. joh. 12.15.  This Way [a little before that] Christ came to Jerusalem, sitting upon the Ass' colt, waited on with a great company of men, some going before, and other some following after them; whereunto also a great number which came out of the City joined themselves. 
Matth. 21.9. [Ps. 118.25 26  So that he seemed to be received of all men with so great favour, that many spread their  in the way; some cutting down the bows of Palms, Olives, and other Trees, to honour him therewithal, strewed them in the way. And the voices of such as rejoiced were heard in every place as he went resounding with these cries, 
* that is, Save now.  Hosanna in the highest, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. With this pomp and triumph the true King, and humble Triumpher, entered in at the golden Gate, and road about the Temple, and the greatest part of the City. With this new spectacle, the whole City was moved, saying Who is this? The multitude which followed him, answered, This is Jesus the Prophet of Nazareth a City of Galilee. Then the cry of those that rejoiced, and were glad, increased more and more, and men and women, young, and old, yea (which is wonderful) the very Infants which came from all parts, cried out together, Hosanna to the Son of David, Blessed be the King of Israel, which cometh a King in the name of the Lord. Blessed be the Kingdom that cometh in the name of him that is Lord of our Father David: Peace in Heaven, and glory in the highest; Hosanna in the highest. With these joyful voices and cries, they proclaiming their Messiah, followed him even into the Temple: Where this new King happily beginning his Kingdom, presently healed the blind and the lame. In the mean time the wicked and envious Pharises, the chief Priests and Scribes do fret and fume, who seeing the great marvels which he did, and the children crying in the Temple, Hosanna to the Son of David, said among themselves, Do ye not see how we profit nothing? Behold the whole world goeth after him. Whereupon they begin with Jesus himself, saying, Master, dost thou bear what these say? Rebuke thy Disciples. To whom he showing that this was long before prophesied of by the Prophet, answereth, Why should they not? Have ye not read, 
Psal. 8.2.  Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings thou hast ordained praise? I say unto you, if these hold their peace, the stones shall presently cry.   

The places on the South part of the City.  
213. HAbbacuc. 
Apoc. D●n. 14. [For true Daniel hath only 12. chap.] Breid. 14 jul. Salig. tom. 10. cap. 2.  Here [as Apocrypha saith, but not a word of it is in the holy Scripture] the Angel of Lord taketh up the Prophet Habbacuc by the hair of the head, as he was carrying to the Reapers in the field their dinner, and carried him with the same meat into Babylon to feed Daniel, being shut up in the Lion's den: Who being fed, he brought Habbacuc hither again. [Thus far from Apocrypha.]  
214. Aceldema, or Haceldemach, that is to say, the Field of blood. It was a Potter's field, 
Zach. 11.13. Mat. 27.8.6. Act. 1.19. Niceph. 8. Hist. Ec. 13. Broc. it in. 6. Breid. 14. jul.  situate at the South part of Mount Zion, having behind it a hill of the same name. This field by the counsel of the Jews, was bought with the thirty pieces of silver for which Judas sold Christ, that it might serve to bury strangers in; the middle part whereof the Empress Helen caused to be enclosed with a four square wall, in length seventy and two foot, and in breadth fifty; And the same to be covered over with a roof, having seven loop holes, 
Silig. Tom. 6. cap. 5 & tom. 10. cap. 1. Pas. d● 197.  by which the dead bodies of Christians might be let down.  
The virtue of this earth is reported [fabulously] to be wonderful, and almost incredible; to wit, that it bringeth and consumeth into dust the bodies of the dead men within the space of four and twenty hours, leaving nothing but the bones.  
215. The Fuller's Field, which lay all along at the South end of the City, 
2 King. 18.17. Isa. 7.3. & 36 2  even from the Valley of Siloe Eastward unto mount Gihen, towards the West, and between the wall of the City, and the water. In this Field the Fuller's did scour their  in the Brook next adjoining, and did set them on Tainters, and so dry them.  
216. The Den, 
Hier. Tom. 1. in cattle. script. Ec. 1 Cor. 15.7.  or Cave of James the less, wherein he is said [by Relick-mungers] to have hid himself by the space of three days, having vowed not to eat bread until Christ was risen again. The Lord appeared to him apart after his Resurrection. [But (not) for this cause] For none of the Apostles then believed that he would rise the third day, nor would they believe it when others told them he was risen.  
217. The Cave of Peter the Apostle, 
Breid. 18. Jul.  wherein after he had denied the Lord thrice, he repent him, and mourned with many tears. [Relick-mungers can show a Cave, and say, Peter and the Apostles were in it, to get money. But not a word of it in any of the four Evangelists, or other Scriptures, no nor that he, nor James, nor Jeremy were in any Cave at all.] [See Number 222.]  
118. The Tents of the Assyrians, 
2 King. 18.17.35. & 19.12.35 2 Chron. 32. August. tom. 18. ad fratres in ere. serm. 25.  of whom for a revenge of their blasphemy, the most strong to the number of one hundred fourscore and five thousand, in the very first night of the besieging Jerusalem, were slain by the Angel of Lord, and (as Augustine, (not the Scripture) reporteth their bodies were brought into dust, that they might not infect the air, their garments, armour, and weapons notwithstanding remaining whole and sound, that the people of Jerusalem might have the spoil.  
219. The house of Elias, 
Breid. 4. jul. 1 Kin. 17.1.9 & 18.20. & 21.1.  wherein it is said (by Papist Breidenbach) that the Prophet Elias sometime dwell; where afterward also a Church was builded. (But the holy Scriptures show that he was a Prophet to them of Israel, and dwelled near Gilead, Zidon, Samaria, or Carmel, fare from Jerusalem, which was in Judea.)  
220. The Mountain Eroge, 
Josua. 15.8. & 18 12.16. 2 Chro. 26.16. Amos 1.1. Zach. 14.4, 5. Ios. 9 Aut. 11.  otherwise called the South Mountain, being very high and lofty, bowing a little toward the West. Concerning this Mountain, it is noted (by some) That when Ozias King of Juda presumed to put on him the Priest's attire, entered into the Sanctuary of the Temple, and offered upon the golden Altar, the incense of sweet savour unto God; by and by there came a great Earthquake (whereof also Amos and Zacharias the Prophets make mention (whereby the upper part of the Temple was shaken, 
Adam Reisnerus & Joan. Herdenus inde. scrip. urbis Hi. rosol. l. 7 c. 2.  and this Mountain cleft in the midst, with so great and terrible violence, that one part thereof falling and tumbling down was rolled and carried by the space of four furlongs even right over against the East Mountain (which is called the Mount of offence) were at the length it stayed. King Ozias himself, in the mean time blasted and terrified with lightning, was stricken in the forehead with a Leprosy. For the which cause he being presently cast out of the Temple and City, languished all his life long, and was shut up in his house, and separated even till the day of his death.  
221. A Fountain. 
M●t. 2 9.10. Breid 14. jul. Sal. Tom. 10 c. 2  At this Fountain (Papist Bredenbach saith) the Star which vanished away when the three wise men, which came from the East, were entered Jerusalem, appeared unto them again, and lead them unto Bethlehem. [Neither Matthew, nor any Scriptures show any word of any Well or Fountain to have been in that place.]  
222. The Cave of the Prophet Jeremy, 
Lam. 1.2, 3, 4, 5 Nicep. 8. Hist Ec. 30. [See before Number 217]  wherein he sitting with a grieved and sorrowful mind, wept, mourned, and bewailed the destruction of Jerusalem with sobs and sighs; Where Helena the Empress (as Nicephorus testifieth) builded a notable Monument.  
223. Isaias. 
Argum in Isaiam. Hier. tradit. Heb. ju. c. 2. Pa. 33 Broc. it in. 6. Breid. 14 jul.  Here that notable Prophet Isai, when he Prophesied in Jerusalem about threescore and ten years, by the Commandment of King Manasses, was sawn through the body with a Saw, and was buried under an Oak, whose Sepulchre is to be seen at this day. [saith Bredan etc.]  
224. The Caves of the Apostles. There are many Caves, wherein eight of the Apostles (as it is reported) [but not in Scriptures] hid themselves, during the time of the Lords Passion. (See Number 217.)  
225. The Monument Absolom, is a Marble Pillar, with an Inscription on the same, 
2 Sam. 18.18. I●s 7. Au. 1.10.  distant from Jerusalem two furlongs; which Absolom being alive set up to himself for a Monument in the King's valley, where there is yet to be seen a great heap of stones, which daily is increased more and more. For the Pagans and strangers passing by that way, use this for a custom, that every man cast a stone at the Pillar, and challenging as it were, according to the Law, his rebellion against his Father David, they curse him with this malediction, Cursed be the Parricide Absolom, 
Br●id. 14. Jul. Pasc. d. 191.  and accursed be all they for ever, which unjustly do persecute their Parents.  
226. 
2 King 18.17. & 20.20. 2 Chron. 32.30 Isa. 7.3. & 36.2. Hier. in loc. Heb. lit. T.  The River of the upper Fountain, situate on the South part of Mount Zion (which Hierom calleth the Fuller's Fountain) the which the noble King Hezekias repaired with the conduit thereof also. This he choked with earth, at what time the Assyrians besieged Jerusalem.  
227. The Sepulchre (as some say) of Zacharias, the Son of Barachias, whom the Jews slew between the Temple and the Altar.   

The places of the West side of the City.  
228. BAalparazim, is a field in the valley of Raphaim, wherein David the King, at the first time, overthrew the Philistians, 
2 Sam. 5.20. 1 Chron. 14.11  and buried their gods which he found in their Tents.  
229. Herod's Tents, which as Josephus witnesseth, 
Jos. 14 Ant. 24. & 1 Bel. 12.  he pitched on the West part of the City.  
230. The Fountain Gihen the lower, which sprang up in the end of the Fuller's field, 
2 Chr. 32.30. & 33.14. Broc. itin. 6.  the waters whereof Hezechias brought unto the upper Fountain.  
231. The Fountain Gihen the higher, 
2 King. 20.20. 2 Ch●o. 32.30. Eecles. 48. Broc. itin. 6.  springing from the Mount Gihen, which afterwards Hezekias stopped up, and cutting deeper into the rock, he brought the waters thereof unto the West part of the City of David, by Conduit pipes under the earth, by which he brought it through the midst of the City, into the innermost Fountain, lest when the City should be besieged the people might want water.  
232. Judas, who of an Apostle being become a Traitor hanged himself (upon a wild figtree, 
Mat. 27.5. Act. 1.18.  there are some say, an Elder tree) and being hanged, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.  
233. The Mount of Calvary, 
Jer. 31.40. Mat, 27.33. Mar. 15.22. Luke 23.33. Joh. 19.17.  a rocky Mountain of mean height, called in the Hebrew tongue Golgotha, which was next to the Northwest part of the City. In the which place offenders, condemned in open judgement, were put to death: Where at all times, a man might see the bones and bowels of men hanged, or otherwise put to death. Here, Christ Jesus our Saviour, which knew no sin, became (as he Apostle saith) sin for us (that is to say, was made sacrifice for our sins) and, as if he had been an evil doer, 
2 Cor 5.21.  was hanged between two Thiefs, and for our salvation crucified. So that now Mount Calvary, which aforetime was a place most infamous, by the passion and blood of Christ, is now mode famous, and honourable.  
234. Mount Gihen, 
Broc. itin. 6. Sal. Tom. 6. cap. 5.  a Mountain full of stones, high and long, which running along by the West part of the City, growing less and less towards the gate of judgement, is severed from the City by a deep Valley. In this Mountain, at the commandment of David, 
1 King. 1.33.38  Solomon was Anointed King, by Sadoc the chief Priest, and by Nathan the Prophet, with the holy Oil. To whom immediately all the people cried, God save King Solomon.  
235. The Monument of Anani the chief Priest, of which Josephus maketh mention, 
Ios. 6. Bel. 13.  in his sixth Book, and thirteenth Chapter of the Jews War.  
236. The Pear-Trees (or Mulbery-Trees) of the Valley Raphaim, 
2 Sam. 5.18.24 1 Chron. 14.  the which Josephus calleth the wood of weeping; near unto the which David, assisted by God from Heaven, gave a second overthrow to the Philistines, pursuing them a great way.  
237. The Sepulchre of Christ, was a new Monument, 
Mat. 27.60. Mat. 15.46. Luke 23.53. Joh. 19.41. Niceph. 8. Hist. Eceles. 30. Beda in Mar. 6.16 Broc. itin. 6. Breid. 12. jul.  eight foot long, distant from Mount Calvary one hundred and eight foot, and from Moun- Zion about a mile, which Joseph of Arimathea, a noble Senator, had hewed out in the Rock for himself, in the Garden near unto Mount Calvary. In the which Sepulchre he, together with Nicodemus, and the Virgin Mary, with other godly women, buried the body of Jesus, being with the consent of Pilate taken from the Cross, and then trimmed with Myrrh and Aloes, and wrapped in a fine linen cloth, 
Sal. Tom. 7. c. 3. & 6.  was put honourably into the same [the head laid toward the West, faith Bredan.] and rolling a stone of exceeding weight to the mouth of the Monument, he went his way. 
Mat. 27.64. Mar. 16▪ 46.  But in the mean time, the Chief Priests, and Pharisiees, going about to hinder the Resurrection of Christ, 
Pasc. d. ●25.  taking unto them a strong guard of Soldiers watched the Sepulchre, and sealed the stone which shut up the mouth of the Sepulchre, lest the keepers and watchmen being corrupted with money should deal deceitfully. But this diligence of the Jews, by which they went about to hold Christ in the grave from rising again, increased the Miracle, and confirmed the faith of the Resurrection. And there he first of all appeared to Mary Magdalen, at the Monument, as she was weeping, 
Mar. 16. Joh. 20.14.16.  in the likeness of a Gardener; [or, as John saith rather; she turned herself bacl, and saw him; and he ask, Whom seekest thou? She supposing him to be the Gardener, said, Sir, If thou hast borne him hence, tell me.]  
238 A Wood, near unto the City, 
[Jos. Bel. Jud. li 6.6. c. 14.]  as is to be gathered by Josephus in his Book and fourteenth fixed Chapter of the Jews War.  
239. The Brook, or River Gihen, at the South-west corner of the City; 
2 Cron. 32.30. Neh. 2. Broc. intin. 6.  which King Achas had begun to bring from the lower Fountain Gihen into the upper Fountain, the which King Hezekias at the last finished.  
240. The Valley of dead Carcases, 
Jer. 31.40. Lyra ibid.  which lay between Mount Calvary, and the walls of Jerusalem, so called, because the dead Carcases, bones, and ashes, of such as were put to death, or burnt on mount Calvary were cast thereinto. [Divers vain Traditions of men herein opposing the plain Divine Scriptures, were not judged worthy the Translation.]  
241. The Valley of the Fountain Gihen, 
2 Chro. 33.14. Jo. 6. Bel. 13. & 15. Ant. 18.  whereof mention is made in the book of the Chronicles, and in Josephus.  
242. The Valley Raphaim, 
2 Sam. 5.18.22 & 23.13. 1 Chro. 11.15. & 14.9. Isa. 17.5.  that is to say, of Giants. It is a Valley on the West side of the City, very large and great, which beginneth at the North part, and extendeth unto the South, bringing forth most plentifully in time past excellent Wheat, Wine, Oil, and all other fruits. In this Valley David by the help of God, twice overcame the Philistines which sought to invade him with a great Army.  
243. The Ways to Bethlehem, 
Act 8. Broc. itin. 6.  Emaus, to Gaza, and to Joppa, which Solomon made with flint and stone; even as he did other ways, which lead to Jerusalem, both to make the passage more easy, and also to show forth the magnificence of his Kingdom in this point.  
244. The way to Siloe, and to Gabaon, whereof Brocardus in his sixth book of his Travel, maketh mention.  
245. Here Christ fell again, 
Pas d. 10.  according to the Tradition of the Fathers of old.  
246. Here Jesus turning himself about to the women that mourned and wept, 
Luke 23. Bried. 14. jul. Salig. To. 8. c. 7.  said, Ye daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children, because the day shall come, etc.  
247. Here Christ fell down the third time under his Cross, 
Breid. 13. Jul.  as the Fathers of old time have affirmed. 
Pas. d. 181. & 2.2.   
248. Here Christ was stripped out of his garments, whose body being all to be torn with whips, could not but be very sore, 
Psal. 22.18. & 69.21. Isa. 13.4, 5. Mar. 27.26.28, 35. Mar. 15.23. Breid. 12 Jul. Pas. d. 213.  whereunto his bloody garments cleaving, gave new occasion of pain, when they were violently pulled off. And standing there naked all the while that the Cross was a preparing in the cold and wind, he sat down at the length upon a stone, where he drank wine mixed with gall and myrrh.  
249. Here Christ being laid on his back on the Cross and stretched out upon the same, 
Psal. 22.1.17. Zach. 12 10. Joh. 20.37. Salig. Tom. 7. cap. 4. Pas. d. 21.4.  his hands and feet was nailed thereunto with Iron nails, and his tender members were with such force strained and racked upon the Cross, that the very arteries and sinews were loosened, and all his bones might be told.  
250. This is, the most notable & memorable place of the whole world, 
Mat. 27.35. Mar. 15.25. Luke 23.33. Joh. 19.18. Leu. 23 5.6. Num. 28.16 17 Exod. 12.18.  even the cleft of the Rock of Mount Calvary, wherein the Cross bearing the body of Christ was fastened about high noon of the feast day of Passeover, being the day after the Passeover. Upon the top of which Cross, a white table was fastened expressing the cause of his death, written with pilate's own hand (or by his appointment) in these words of Hebrew, Greek and Latin;  
JESUS OF NAZARETH, KING OF THE JEWS. Further it is [written by some] that the Jews did in such manner erect and set Christ upon his Cross, that his back parts might be towards Jerusalem, and his face towards the West. For they deemed him unworthy to have his face toward the holy City. But we must think that this was not done altogether by fortune, or without a mystery, but rather by the singular dispensation of God. 
Jer. 18.17. Beda in Luke cap. 23. Breid. 12. jul.  His miseries seem to be no false Prophets of our felicity, by this means and by this deed forewarning them of that which the Prophet Jeremy had Prophesied should come to pass, saying. I will scatter them with an East wind before the Enemy, I will show them the back, and not the face, 
Salig. Tom. 7. car. 5.  in the day of their destruction. For as St. Jerome saith, seeing they are dispersed throughout the whole world, and do call upon God ●ight and day in the synagogues of Satan, God showeth unto them his back, and not his face, that they may know that he is always going from them, 
Hier●n. in Jer. cap. 18. Psal. 5.9. Isa. 10.27.  and not coming towards them: And that even in the day of their destruction (that is to say, during all the time after the passion of our Saviour unto the very end of the world) that when the fullness of the Gentiles is come in, the remnant of the people of Israel may be converted at the last, 
Ro. 9 & 11.25  and be saved. And I verily conjecture, that by this their cruelty, they were foretellers of our felicity. For in that they did set the most sweet and amiable face of our Saviour toward the West, it seemeth unto me to note no other thing, but the very same which the Kingly Prophet long before him had told should come to pass, 
Psal. 66.7.  saying, His eyes behold the (Nations or) Gentiles: For he having the eyes of his mercy opened and fixed upon us, from the time of his passion, will not cease to look upon us with a favourable countenance even unto the end of the world.  
Therefore, Christ being on this manner hanged on the Cross, three hours (from the sixth to the ninth hour, that is from noon three hours) naked, bloody, wounded, crowned with thorns, did hang between two thiefs in most grievous torments, partaker with them of the pain and punishment, as if he had been a companion with them in their wickedness. The which thing the Prophet Isaias fore-shewed should come to pass, 
Isa. 53.  saying, He was reputed among the wicked. Whom in the mean time, the Jews, the high Priests, together with the Scribes and Elders of the people passing by, yea the common soldiers also, and the thief that was crucified with him, instead of consolation (which belongeth to all that are afflicted) in most reproachful manner scorned him, shaking their heads, and saying, Thou which destroyest the Temple of God, 
Mat. 27.39. to 46.  and buildest the same again in three days, save thyself; if thou be'st the Son of God, come down from the Cross; He saved others, himself he cannot save. If he be Christ the King of Israel, let him come down now from the Cross, and we will believe him. He trusted in God, let him deliver him now, if he will have him; for he said, I am the Son of God.  
Jesus most patiently suffering all these things, more bitter than the Cross, was so far from revenging them, that he prayed for them that mocked him, saying, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. And to the other of the Thiefs requiring mercy, he promised Paradise, saying, Verily I say unto thee, This day thou shalt be with me in Paradise. 
Joh. 19.26, 27.  And then beholding his wellbeloved mother, and the Disciple also whom he loved, and commending a Virgin to a Virgin, said unto his mother. Behold thy Son. And then he said to his Disciple, Behold thy Mother, who from that hour forward took her for his own. While these things thus proceeded, the Sun abashed at those passions, which the Creator of all the world suffered on the Cross, as it were mourning hid his face; 
Joh. 11.9.  and was darkened from the sixth hour (that is the mid day) at what time it shineth in greatest glory) until the ninth hour: (That is, until the midst of the afternoon.)  
Then Jesus complaining that he is forsaken of his Father, 
Psal. 22.1.  cried out with a strong voice, saying, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? This done, to the end all things that were spoken of by the Prophets might be fulfilled, he said, I thirst; Straightway one running, as though he would do him some good, 
Psal. 69.  when he had taken a Sponge, and filled it with Vinegar, he put it upon a reed, and gave him to drink. Jesus wonderfully thirsted for the salvation of men, but the Jews offered him nothing but gall and vinegar. And so soon as Jesus had tasted the vinegar, he said, 
Heb. 5.8.  It is finished, giving thereby to understand, that the Sacrifice was truly ended according to the will of his Father. And once again crying out with a loud voice, and with shedding of tears, 
Psal. 31.  he saith, Father, into thy hands I commend my Spirit; and so bowing down his head (a man of flourishing age) he yielded up his spirit and) breath, the ninth hour of the (fifteenth day of the first mouth) being the five and twentieth day of March, and in the three and thirtieth year of his age, in the year from his Incarnation the thirty and four; (or rather two and thirty, and a half.)  
By this Sacrifice, the most high and everlasting Priest, 
Heb. 4.14.  inflamed with most singular and unspeakable love, offered himself a Sacrifice, and a Peace-offering to God his Father, 
Heb. 2.14, 15. Col. 2.15. Eph. 2.15.  and by his death destroyed death, overcame Satan, broke asunder Hell gates, restored life, and opened unto all believers the everlasting Kingdom of Heaven. For this cause (some say) the Fathers of old time ingraved in silver these words of the Psalm in Greek, and set it in the circumference of the hole which was made on the top of Mount Calvary, wherein the Cross of Christ was fastened, but now they are engraven in Copper thus: 
Pas. d. 223. & 224.   
〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is to say, Here God our King before worlds wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.  
The which one, and only bloody Sacrifice most truly and lawfully made, 
Heb 10.1.2.12. & cap. 9.26  he would not by and by so soon as he was dead be taken from the Cross, but even as when he was alive, so when he was dead, by the space of three hours, he hung as a spectacle to all men. And as he spared no one member from torment, so his will was to shed all his blood, even to the very last drop of his most precious heart, 
Zach. 13.1. Isa. 12.1, 2, 3. Zach 12.10.12  and to open the Fountain for the washing away of our sins, the which we may use to our endlefle comfort: Therefore one of the Soldiers perceiving, and opening his side and heart, presently there issued forth blood and water as from a most lively spring, to the sanctifying and salvation of his Church. In the mean season all things gave testimony to their Lord, 
Mat. 27.52.53.  and maker's death. The veil of the Temple rend asunder in two parts, the earth was shaken and quaked, the graves opened, the dead bodies of men arose again, and the stony Rocks (to the shame and reproach of the Jews for the hardness of their hearts) clavae a sunder, and burst in pieces.  
251. Here the blessed Virgin Mary, 
joh. 19 Luke 2.31. Breid. 12. Jul. salig. To. 7.0.5. Pas. d. 225.  accompanied with John, with Marry Magdalen, and with other women, stood with a firm mind, and constant faith, where according to the Prophecy of Simeon, The sword of sorrow pierced her soul.  
252. Here the Soldiers which crucified Christ, parted his garments among them, 
Joh. 19 Psal. 22. Breid. 12. jul. Sal. 7. cap. 3.  and cast lots for his seamlesse coat who should have it, that the saying of the Prophet might be fulfilled, They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots.  
253. Here the dead Corpse of Christ, being taken down from the Cross, 
Breid. 12. Based. 225.  was delivered to the blessed Virgin Mary to be buried, [saith Bredan. Matthew saith, to Joseph of Arimathea, and not to her.]  
254. Here Christ meeteth with the women, 
Matth. 28.9.  which returned from his Sepulchre toward Jerusalem, and saluteth them, who embracing and kissing his feet worshipped him.  
255. Here Christ in the form of a stranger, 
Luke 24 13. Mar. 16.12.  went with the two Disciples toward Emaus, and in the way as they went together, he interpreted Moses, and the Scriptures of all the Prophets, which he proved to be fulfilled in him.   

The places on the North side of the City.  
256. THe Tents of the Chaldeans. 
2 King. 25.4. Jer. 39.2. & 52.4.7.  On this North part of the City, Nebuchadonozer King of Babylon, and the Chaldeans, scaled the walls of Jerusalem, and won it.  
257. The Tents of the Romans which were pitched between the Woman's Towers, 
Jos. Bel. 2.3.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 & 7. Bel. 1.2.4.9, 10 15, 16.  and the Tower Psephina. On this part, although enclosed, and fortified with a triple wall, Titus and the Romans assailed Jerusalem. For on this part only, the City was assailable. And albeit the other parts were compassed round about with one single wall only; yet the same being very strong, and set upon stony and cragged rocks, and having also deep Valleys or Trenches impassable, were inexpugnable: Therefore they began to scale the first wall, which was the outermost and third wall of the City. After that they took in hand the second wall: And then the third wall of the City, which was 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 Zion, of all the rest the most strong. At what time also the Christians (Anno 1099) took this City in hand to win it, they began their enterprise on this part, 
Wil Tyr. Bel. jac. lib. 8. cap. 5, 18.  among whom Godfrey of Bullion was the first that entered the wall, near unto the Gate of Ephraim, whose Soldiers following the assault like men, opened immediately the said Gate, and so wan the City. The which also the Saracens besieging on the same part, wan from the Christians.  
258. The Hill Gar●●, 
Jer. 31.39.  the which was near to Jerusalem on the North.  
259. Erebinth, 
Jos. 6. Bel. 13.  was a little village on the North.  
260. Gardens and Farms, 
Jos. 6. Bel. 2.4.7.  enclosed with walls and hedges; where Titus taking a view of the City was in danger.  
261. The Sepulehre of Helen Queen of the Adiabens (who victualled Jerusalem in the time of the Famine with wheat) which she most sumptuously builded with three pinnacles, 
Jos. 20. Ant. 2, 3 & 6. Bel. 2.5, 6. Euseb. 2. Hist. 12. Hier. Tom. 1. Epist. 23. ad Eustoch.  about three furlongs distant from the City; Wherein she was buried with her Son Isates, which also was standing in the time of Eusebius and Hierom.  
262. The North Mountain, 
Ios. 6. Bel. 13.  where Pompey pitched his Tents.  
263. The Monument of Herod Agrippa, 
Act. 12.1.21.23 Ios. 19 Ant. 8. & 6 Bel. 3.4.  who for his intolerable pride being stricken by the Angel of the Lord, and consumed of worms, died.  
264. Sapha, 
Ios. 11. Ant. 8. & 2 Bel. 24. & 6. Bel. 3.4.  in Greek called Scopos, that is to say, A place of espial, situate toward the North, distant from the City about 7 furlongs. It was so named, because from thence, both the City and Temple might be seen. 
* Or Jaddua.  Here Jaddus the chief Priest, and the rest of the Priests, in their Priestly attire, and all the people clad in white garments, went forth to meet Alexander the Great, King of the Macedonians, when he came with his Army to destroy Jerusalem; Whom when Alexander saw, by and by suppressing his fury, in humble sort worshipped the name of God, which shined in golden Letters in the Reasonable (or Breast plate of judgement) of the high Priest, and gave reverence to the high Priest. Then entering into the City and Temple, he offered sacrifice to God, and granted great privileges unto the Jews.  
265. The Fruitful Wood, 
Ios. 6. Bel. 4 & 7  which Titus caused to be cut down.  
266. The Lake of Serpents, 
Ios. 6. Bel. 4.  which in old time was called Bethara.  
267. The Way, by which men went into Samaria and Galilee. 
Broc. it in. 6.   
268. The Village noer to Jerusalem, 
Neh. 3.  whereof Nehemiah maketh mention.  
THese (Christian Reader) are the most notable and famous places of the City and Temple of Jerusalem. By the placing whereof, the situation of the rest may easily be known. Therefore if we have made a true Description, let the praise be given to God, the giver of all good gifts. But if otherwise there be any defect, impute that to my want of skill, and not to my ill will; who for that I was not able to give towards the furnishing of the Temple gold, silver or precious stones, have notwithstanding offered a little oil to lighten the Church; trusting that the same will be acceptable, both to Christ, who allowed the two mites which the poor Widow offered; and also to those that be good Christians, whom it becometh well to be like unto their Head, JESUS CHRIST.  
[Try all things. Hold fast that which is good, I Thes. 5.21. Embrace what is sound, though somewhat is rotten. Embrace not the rotten, because much here is sound. Jer 23.28, 29. The Prophet, to whom is a dream, let him tell it as a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat, saith Jehovah? Is not my word like a fire, saith Jehovah? and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?]
