CAP. VII.

_Of the haven of Jaffe also named._

WHO so will go lenger upon the sea and come nerer to Hierusalem--you

shall go from Cipres by sea to porte Jaffe, for that is the next haven

to Hierusalem, for from that haven it is but a days journey & a halfe

to Hierusalem And that haven is called Jaffe, and the towne Affe after

one of Noyes[1] sonnes that men call Japheth that founded it, and now

it is called Jops. And ye shall understand that it is the eldest town

of the world, for it was made before Noes floud and there be the bones

of a giaunts side that be XL fote long.
