Zurich part H *After we had taken our journey into Asia as you know, and that we had ready succours given unto us of the gods & thorough our strength, we had finished our journey even all, we would desire, we thought not by violence of armies, but to entice by gentleness and much humanity the, the people that dwell ⟨image 133⟩in Celosyrya and Phoenicia and to provoke them with our benefits, and after we had seen many cities and churches, we were moved to go up to Jerusalem to honour the temple of those mischievous persons, part C which will ever be made.
