This day we advance about five miles further in _Austria_, and then crossing the _Teya_ enter into _Moravia_, now called _Makren_, and take up our quarters at _Znaim_, the _Medoslanium_ of Ptolemy. This is a fair and fortified town, tho of the old fashion, upon the river _Teya_, which runs hence into the _Morawa_, antiently the _Marus_, and with that into the _Danube_. In the year 1645 this town was taken and pillaged by the Swedes. It has two market places, in each of which is a good fountain; and in one of them the image of the _Virgin_, erected on a fair pillar, and inscribed with a new sort of _Gloria Patri_, that is, LAVS DEO, MARIAEQVE VIRGINI, SANCTISQUE SVIS. There are likewise several convents, of Capuchines, Dominicans, Jesuits, and Premonstratensians; and it is remarkable for excellent endive. November xiii. We stay this day at _Znaim_, and the day following proceed three German miles to _Budwitz_, thro pleasant woods of fir, with fertile open feilds. And moving from thence the next morning, three more German miles carry us thro _Babitz_ and _Drumna_ to _Pernitz_, by a pleasant way, thro a country sometimes open and well tilled; and at other times thro delightful woods of pine or fir, intermixt with juniper and a few birch; but scarce any other shrubs or trees in the whole country. At _Pernitz_ is a convent of _Paulins_, so called from _Sto. Francisco di Paula_, a strict order, that eats no flesh nor fish throughout the year. In this place live several Jews, who are bound to wear blue ruffs, as a mark of distinction. November xvi. Two German miles thro woods of fir and arable ground bring us to _Iglaw_. This city, reasonably well fortified, has a large and clean market place, round which the houses have false fronts, and are handsomely painted on the outside with pleasant landskips or histories. At the upper end of it is a statue of the _Virgin_ on a column, like that at _Znaim_; both seeming to be an imitation of that at _Vienna_. We bait an hour at _Iglaw_, and then pass on one German mile to a small village, called _Steken_. But immediately beyond the wall of _Iglaw_ we pass a river of the same name, and there enter into _Bohemia_, whence we continue our way over a large lake, with a road cast up betwixt the two branches of it, and delicate woods of fir adorning its banks. This wood is of large extent, and seems to be a continuation of the _Sylva Hercynia_ in this country, now called _Behemerwaldt_. November xvii.
