ke to the shrouds in Pauls, where the sepulchre of the virgin Mary is:
the staires be very broad, and vpon the staires going downe are two
sepulchres: vpon the left hand lieth Iosaphat, and vpon the right hand
lieth Ioachim and Anna, the father and mother of the virgin Mary.

Going out of the valley of Iosaphat we came to mount Oliuet, where Christ
praied vnto his father before his death: and there is to be seene (as they
tolde me) the water and blood that fell from the eyes of Christ. A litle
higher vpon the same mount is the place where the Apostles slept, and
watched not. At the foot of the mount is the place where Christ was
imprisoned.

Vpon the mountaine also is the place where Christ stood when he wept ouer
Ierusalem, and where he ascended into heauen.

Now hauing seene all these monuments, I with my company set from Ierusalem,
the 20 day of August, and came againe to Ioppa the 22 of the same moneth,
where wee tooke shipping presently for Tripolis, and in foure dayes we came
to Mecina the place where the ships lie that come for Tripolis.

The citie of Tripolis is a mile and a halfe within the land, so that no
ship can come further then Mecina: so that night I came thither, where I
lay nine daies for passage, and at last we imbarked our selues in a good
ship of Venice called the Naue Ragasona. We entred the ship the second of
September, the fourth we set saile, the seuenth we came to Salina, which is
140 miles from Tripolis: there we stayed foure dayes to take in more
lading, in which meane time I fell sicke of an ague, but recouered againe,
I praise God.

Salina is a ruinated citie, and was destroyed by the Turke ten yeeres past:
there are in it now but seuenteene persons, women and children. A litle
from this citie of Salina is a salt piece of ground, where the water
groweth salt that raineth vpon it.

Thursday the 21 of September, we came to Missagh, and there we stayed eight
dayes for our lading: the 18 of September before we came to Missagh, and
within ten miles of the towne, as we lay at an anker, because the winde was
contrary, there came a great boat full of men to boord vs, they made an
excuse to seeke for foure men which (they said) our ship had taken from
theirs about Tripolis, but our captaine would not suffer any of them to
come into vs.

The next morning they came to vs againe with a great gally, manned with 500
men at the least, whereupon our captaine sent the boat to them with twelue
men to
