speak_v of_o two_o thing_n which_o i_o find_v want_v in_o your_o paradise_n and_o in_o all_o the_o glory_n aforesaid_a the_o first_o defect_n be_v that_o whereas_o the_o alcoran_n and_o the_o suné_n hold_v forth_o such_o and_o so_o great_a paradise_n so_o stately_a build_v and_o so_o rich_o adorn_v they_o make_v no_o mention_n of_o easement_n and_o that_o they_o be_v also_o magnificent_o build_v especial_o have_v speak_v of_o so_o much_o eat_v and_o of_o so_o much_o drink_v viz._n of_o honey_n milk_n claret_n and_o hippocras_n the_o second_o defect_n be_v that_o he_o make_v no_o mention_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o woman_n for_o whereas_o the_o alcoran_n and_o the_o suné_n have_v promise_v that_o the_o man_n shall_v have_v chaste_a virgin_n with_o who_o they_o shall_v sport_v and_o take_v their_o pleasure_n as_o aforesaid_a they_o ought_v in_o like_a manner_n to_o have_v mention_v the_o woman_n and_o to_o have_v give_v they_o eternal_a servant_n to_o have_v take_v their_o pleasure_n with_o they_o and_o then_o the_o woman_n will_v also_o have_v have_v eternal_a glory_n but_o tell_v i_o o_o moor_n what_o will_v the_o woman_n who_o shall_v be_v at_o this_o feast_n say_v and_o do_v when_o they_o shall_v see_v themselves_o comfortless_a and_o when_o they_o shall_v see_v their_o husband_n which_o they_o have_v in_o this_o world_n sport_v with_o and_o embrace_v their_o virgin_n the_o space_n of_o 50_o year_n which_o he_o say_v they_o shall_v remain_v embrace_v sport_v and_o take_v their_o pleasure_n therefore_o o_o moor_n i_o say_v that_o the_o woman_n glory_n will_v be_v turn_v into_o punishment_n and_o sorrow_n especial_o when_o each_o of_o the_o man_n shall_v take_v his_o virgin_n and_o shall_v go_v away_o with_o she_o to_o his_o mansion_n or_o

be_v twenty_o three_o year_n in_o compose_v and_o do_v not_o descend_v in_o one_o night_n nor_o in_o one_o month_n as_o the_o alcoran_n say_v furthermore_o by_o the_o alcoran_n itself_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v not_o inspire_v in_o one_o night_n nor_o in_o one_o month_n by_o the_o chapter_n and_o verse_n which_o be_v make_v upon_o several_a occasion_n as_o upon_o action_n offence_n and_o upon_o controversy_n &_o difference_n between_o muhamed_a and_o his_o wife_n and_o by_o the_o diversity_n of_o commandment_n and_o by_o the_o alteration_n which_o we_o have_v show_v above_o which_o

that_o the_o alcoran_n descend_v in_o a_o night_n or_o in_o a_o month_n than_o i_o will_v have_v thou_o tell_v i_o o_o moor_n where_o be_v this_o night_n or_o this_o month_n whether_o it_o be_v at_o

the_o alcoran_n contradict_v itself_o when_o it_o say_v in_o the_o four_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n that_o he_o charge_v the_o moor_n to_o hold_v twelve_o thing_n as_o forbid_a and_o

will_v appear_v so_o that_o muhame_v make_v the_o moor_n believe_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o christian_a law_n but_o not_o all_o for_o fear_v lest_o they_o shall_v become_v christian_n &_o he_o also_o make_v they_o believe_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o jewish_a law_n but_o not_o all_o for_o fear_v lest_o they_o shall_v become_v jew_n and_o make_v they_o also_o believe_v the_o alcoran_n and_o the_o suné_fw-fr and_o so_o many_o other_o foolery_n which_o we_o have_v mention_v above_o that_o he_o may_v make_v they_o moores_n and_o musselman_n in_o this_o manner_n the_o sect_n of_o the_o moor_n increase_v not_o by_o any_o reason_n or_o excellency_n it_o have_v in_o itself_o for_o if_o muhamed_a have_v begin_v his_o sect_n among_o philosopher_n logician_n and_o astrologer_n and_o a_o nation_n that_o have_v have_v any_o law_n it_o have_v never_o have_v any_o progress_n the_o which_o the_o apostle_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v for_o they_o preach_v the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n among_o the_o most_o learned_a of_o all_o the_o jew_n and_o among_o the_o astrologer_n logician_n and_o philosopher_n of_o the_o gentile_n yea_o without_o arm_n or_o battle_n and_o only_o by_o their_o preach_v the_o law_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o gospel_n and_o by_o their_o miracle_n they_o convert_v all_o the_o world_n to_o the_o catholic_a and_o christian_a faith_n beside_o the_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n christ_n wrought_v not_o that_o conversion_n mere_o by_o preach_v and_o do_v miracle_n but_o also_o by_o dispute_v and_o argue_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o by_o confute_v heretic_n and_o wicked_a man_n who_o gainsay_v they_o and_o thus_o the_o christian_a faith_n be_v agitate_a and_o exalt_v by_o disputation_n until_o it_o enlighten_v all_o place_n the_o which_o the_o

command_v in_o the_o nine_o chapter_n of_o the_o three_o book_n where_o he_o say_v guale_fw-la tugedilo_fw-la etc._n etc._n i._n e._n never_o dispute_v you_o with_o the_o jew_n or_o christian_n wherefore_o i_o say_v and_o conclude_v that_o muhamed_a withdraw_v the_o people_n of_o mecca_n and_o arabia_n from_o the_o error_n of_o idolatry_n and_o bring_v they_o into_o heresy_n do_v like_o those_o who_o administer_v fatal_a physic_n which_o they_o hide_v in_o good_a tooth_n some_o food_n and_o they_o who_o eat_v thereof_o think_v they_o eat_v some_o delicate_a cate_n be_v poison_v thus_o do_v muhamed_a introduce_v and_o mingle_v his_o false_a law_n and_o his_o imposture_n and_o delusion_n among_o the_o holy_a and_o good_a thing_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n yea_o with_o thing_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o so_o he_o make_v a_o law_n and_o sect_n which_o destroy_v those_o eternal_o that_o believe_v it_o even_o as_o adulterate_v medicine_n kill_v those_o that_o take_v they_o and_o let_v this_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o first_o cause_n or_o reason_n of_o the_o propagation_n of_o muhameds_n law_n the_o second_o cause_n of_o the_o growth_n and_o

to_o do_v miracle_n and_o to_o cause_n sign_n to_o appear_v from_o heaven_n as_o noah_n do_v with_o the_o ark_n and_o moses_n who_o cause_v manna_n to_o fall_v from_o heaven_n forty_o year_n and_o make_v twelve_o fountain_n of_o water_n to_o spring_v out_o of_o a_o rock_n and_o divide_v the_o red_a sea_n into_o twelve_o passage_n and_o muhame_v not_o be_v able_a to_o do_v the_o like_a he_o

by_o force_n and_o for_o that_o purpose_n he_o begin_v to_o make_v verse_n in_o the_o alcoran_n say_v that_o god_n command_v they_o to_o fight_v against_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o rebellious_a and_o
