also there is a third rocke with a frierie called sant andrea: these ilands are from the maine but two miles, and the channell betweene melleda and zupanna is but foure or fiue miles ouer by gesse, but very deepe, for we had at an anker fortie fathoms. the two ilands of zupanno and mezo are well inhabited, and very faire buildings, but nothing plentie saue wine onely. this night toward sunne set it waxed calme, and we sayled little or nothing. the 24 we were past ragusa 14 miles, and there we mette with two venetian ships, which came from cyprus, we thought they would haue spoken with vs, for we were desirous to talke with them, to knowe the newes of the turkes armie, and to haue sent some letters by them to venice. about noone, we had scant sight of castel nouo, which castell a fewe yeeres past the turke tooke from the emperour, in which fight were slaine three hundred spanish souldiers, besides the rest which were taken prisoners, and made gallie slaves. this castell is hard at the mouth of a channell called boca de cataro. the venetians haue a hold within the channell called cataro, this channell goeth vp to budoa, and further vp into the countrey. about sunne set we were ouer against the hilles of antiueri in sclauonia, in the which hilles the venetians haue a towne called antiueri, and the turkes haue another against it called marcheuetti, the which two townes continually skirmish together with much slaughter. at the end of these hils endeth the countrey of sclauonia, and albania beginneth. these hilles are thirtie miles distant from ragusa. the 27 we kept our course towards puglia, and left albania on the left hand. the 28. we had sight of both the maines, but we were neere the coast of puglia, for feare of foystes. it is betweene cape chimera in albania and cape otranto in puglia 60 miles. puglia is a plaine low lande, and chimera in albania is very high land, so that it is seene the further. thus sayling our course along the coast of puglia, we saw diuerse white towers, which serue for sea-markes. about three of the clocke in the after noone, we had sight of a rocke called il fano, 48 miles from corfu, and by sunne set we discouered corfu. thus we kept on our course with a prosperous winde, and made our way after twelue mile euery houre. most part of this way we were accompanied with certaine fishes called in the italian tongue palomide, it is a fish three quarters of a yard in length, in colour, eating, and making like a makarell, somewhat bigge and thick in body, and the tayle forked like a halfe moone, for the which cause it is said that the turke will not suffer them to be taken in all his dominions. the 29 in the morning we were in sight of an iland, which we left on our left hande called cephalonia, it is vnder the venetians, and well inhabited, with a faire towne strongly situated on a hill of which hill the iland beareth her name, it hath also a very strong fortresse or castle, and plentie of corne and wine, their language is greek, it is distant from the maine of morea, thirtie miles, it is in compasse 80 miles. one houre within night we sayled by the towne standing on the south cape of cephalonia, whereby we might perceiue their lights. there come oftentimes into the creeks and riuers, the turkes foystes and gallies where at their arriual, the countrey people doe signifie vnto their neighbours by so many lights, as there are foistes or gallies in the iland, and thus they doe from one to another the whole iland ouer. aboute three of the clocke in the afternoone the winde scanted, and wee minded to haue gone to zante, but we could not for that night. [sidenote: zante.] this iland of zante is distant from cephalonia, 12 or 14 miles, but the towne of cephalonia, from the towne of zante, is distant fortie miles. this night we went but little forward. the 30 day we remained still turning vp and downe because the winde was contrary, and towards night the winde mended, so that we entered the channell betweene cephalonia, and zante, the which chanell is about eight or tenne miles ouer, and these two beare east and by south, and west and by north from the other. the towne of zante lieth within a point of the land, where we came to an anker, at nine of the clocke at night. [sidenote: iohn locke, and fiue hollanders goe on land.] the 31 about sixe of the clocke in the morning, i with fiue hollanders went on land, and hosted at the house of pedro de venetia. after breakfast we went to see the towne, and passing along we went into some of the greeke churches, wherein we sawe their altares, images, and other ornaments. [sidenote: santa maria de la croce.] this done, wee went to a monasterie of friers called sancta maria de la croce, these are westerne christians, for the greekes haue nothing to doe with them, nor they with the greekes, for they differ very much in religion. there are but 2. friers in this friery. [sidenote: the tombe of m. t. cicero.] in this monasterie we saw the tombe that m. t. cicero was buried in, with terentia antonia, his wife. this tombe was founde about sixe yeeres since, when the monastery was built, there was in time past a streete where the tombe stoode. at the finding of the tombe there was also found a yard vnder ground, a square stone somewhat longer then broad, vpon which stone was found a writing of two seuerall handes writing, the one as it seemed, for himselfe, and the other for his wife, and vnder the same stone was found a glasse somewhat proportioned like an vrinall, but that it was eight square and very thicke, wherein were the ashes of the head and right arme of mar. t. cicero, for as stories make mention he was beheaded as i remember at capua, for insurrection. and his wife hauing got his head and right arme, (which was brought to rome to the emperor) went from rome, and came to zante, and there buried his head and arme, and wrote vpon his tombe this style m. t cicero. haue. [marginal note: or, aue.] then followeth in other letters, _et tu terentia antonia_, which difference of letters declare that they were not written both at one time
