Of the patriarke of Greece

IN Cairo
are two Patriarkes, one of the Greekes, and
another of the Jacobites. The Greeke Patriarke called
Gioechni, being about the age of one hundred and
thirteene yeeres, was a very good and holy man. They
say, that when Soldan Gauri of Egypt reigned, there was
done this miracle following: this good patriarke being
envied at by the Jewes of the country, for none other
cause, but for his good workes, and holy life, it happened
(I say) that being in disputation with certaine of the
Hebrewes in presence of the Sultan, and reasoning of
their lawe and faith, it was sayd unto him by one of these
Miscreants : sith thou beleevest in the faith of Christ,
take and drinke this potion which I will give thee; and
if thy Christ be true Messias and true God, he will (sayd
he) deliver thee from daunger. To whom the auncient
patriarke answered, that he was content: whereupon that
cursed Jewe brought him a cuppe of the most venemous

The beginning of the voyage.
THE feast before the Carovan setteth forth, the Captaine
with all his retinue and officers resort unto the castle of
Cairo
before the Basha, which giveth unto every man a
garment, and that of the Captaine is wrought with golde,
and the others are served according to their degree.
Moreover he delivereth unto him ye Chisva Talnabi,
which signifieth in the Arabian tongue, The garment of
the Prophet: this vesture is of silke, wrought in the
midst with e, for
the ornament of the sayde tombe. Which things being
consigned, the Basha departeth not from his place; but
the Captaine of the Carovan taketh his leave with all his
officers and souldiers, and departeth accompanied with all
the people of Cairo
orderly in manner of a procession,
with singing, shouting and a thousand other ceremonies
too long to recite. From the castle they goe to a gate
of the citie called Bab-Nassera, without the which
standes a Mosquita, and therein they lay up the sa

What times the Carovan travelleth, and when it
resteth.
IT is to be noted, that from Cairo
to Mecca
they make
40 dayes journey or thereabout, & the same great dayes
journeies. For the custome of the Carovan is to travell
much and rest little, and ordinarily they journey in this
maner: They travell from two a clocke in the morning
untill the sunne rising, then having rested till noone, they
set forward, and so continue till night, & then also rest
againe, as is abovesaid, till two of the clocke: and this
order they observe untill the end of the voiage, never
changing the same, except in some places, whereof we
will hereafter speake, where for respect of water they rest
sometimes a day and an halfe, and this they observe to
refresh themselves, otherwise both man and beast would
die.
