A New Voyage Nd A.

The Augusslnes shew this pretended Host, chewed
and bloody in a Glass-Shrine. They stiew also
the print of a Hand on one of the Stones of the
Altar, and a Hole in thejPavement of the Church
near the same Altar, as of two Legs sunk into
fbft Ground. They say that this Host works
Miracles; and the Convent improves the Story
to the best advantage.
Two large Leagues on this side Seefeld we be-
gan to descend, and three quarters of an Hour
afterwards we arriv’d in a deep Valley, which
was at most but a Mile in breadth. The River

Inn glides pleasantly along, and waters several
pretty Villages. We turn’d to the left in this
Valley, and follow’d always the Foot of the
Mountain. And a little League farther they
made us take notice of a steep Rock, which,
they said, was above a Hundred Fathom high,
and is call’d, The Emperor s Rock. About three
quarters of the height of this Rock,there is a Nich,
in which there is a Crucifix, with a Statue on
each side of it. They say that Maximilian I. be-
ing in chase os a wild Goat, deseended so far
from the top of the Rock, which is contiguous to
the Mountains behind; and that the t Emperor not
daring to aseend the same way, they were forc’d
to let him down with Machines.

INSPRUCK. Inspruck is but two fiiort Hours farther in the
middle of the Valley, upon the River Inn : You
must pass this River on a Bridge before you en-
ter the City - and it is therefore called Inspruck,
that Word having the same lignification in High-
Dutch , as tAEnipons, or tAEnipontum, which is its
name in Latin.
