They had but recently em- braced Moslemism, and therefore were more fanatical and cruel than other Mohammedans. These warlike and rude Turks, turned their amis alike, against Christians, Jews, and even the native Mohammedans. '' No description," says the Abbe Yertoi, in his History of the THE PILGRIMS. 3T Knights of Malta, "can give a concep- tion of all the cruelties which they committed. Numbers of the Christians were butchered ; the Hospital of St.
John, founded for the relief of Pilgrims ab...out seventeen years before by some pious Italian merchants, who had ob- tained a piece of ground for the pur- pose, was plundered ; and these barba- rians would have destroyed the Holy Sepulchre, had not their avarice re- strained them. The fear of losing the revenues, raised upon the Pilgrims of the west, preserved the tomb of our Saviour. But, to gratify at once their avarice and their hatred to all who bore the name of Christians, they loaded them with heavier tributes ; so that the Pilgrims after having spent all their money in the course of so long a voyage, or having been stripped by 38 SUFFERINGS OF robbers J and worn out with hunger and miseries of all sorts, at last, for want of money to discharge such excessive tributes, perished at the gates of Jeru- salem, without being able to obtain the consolation of seeing, before they died, the Holy Sepulchre, the only object of their vows, and the end of so tedious a pilgrimage." So imminent were the dangers at- tending this sacred tour that one pious Pilgrim, Bartholemeo George witz, who published an account of his wanderings, advised his brother Pilgrims before they started upon their journey to make their wills, " like one going not to the earthly but to the heavenly Jerusalem." These perils, however, by no means hindered the tide of infatuated Pilgrims that flowed towards Palestine.
