the Monuments of many famous men, in the French Church is the
Tomb of Jofeph Scaliger, with a large Inscription upon it, and these
few words which he himself desired might be placed there.

There is a Pidure in the Chamber for the Burgermailers, repre-

much esteemed that, it is said, the Emperor Rudolphus would have gi-

Table also upon which John of Leyden wrought whilst he was a Tay-

great loss; and afterwards coyned a memorial-Medal with this in-
lerption.

From Leyden I came to Haerlem, a neat City, pleasantly seated and
having a Grove near it. The great Church is esteemed the largest in
Holland, with a very high Lanthorn upon it. Within are many In-
scriptions and Monuments, molt of which are transeribed and set down
in Gotsr. Hegenitii Itinerarium Hollandicum. In the Prince’s houle are
all the Earls of Holland Painted upon the wall, and in the Garden in
the Summer-house, the Pidture of Laurentius Cofierus, who is said to
have firlt invented the art of Printing in this Town ,• but others attri-
bute it to Johannes Gottenberg, a German. On the other side there is a
Picture of a Ship with Saws, in memory of the manner how Damiata
in Egypt was formerly taken by those of this Town, who, as they re-
port, accompanied Frederick Barbarofsia in an expedition against the
Saracens, and when the men of Felujium or Damiata had chained up
their Port, by this invention of fastning strong Saws to the keels os their
Ships,
