have_v observe_v the_o like_a before_o both_o in_o constantinople_n and_o diverse_a other_o turkish_a city_n that_o what_o with_o your_o vain_a repetion_n &_o diverse_a other_o profane_a foolery_n

of_o pestilence_n a_o sudden_a cessation_n from_o the_o plague_n such_o a_o effect_n of_o holy_a and_o fervent_a prayer_n as_o never_o do_v the_o prayer_n scofferalah_n or_o the_o allamissel_n allow_v of_o any_o mahometan_a produce_v yet_o must_v we_o who_o prayer_n like_o a_o sweet_a smell_a sacrifice_n be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n be_v esteem_v giaur_n by_o those_o who_o prayer_n be_v odious_a unto_o his_o divine_a majesty_n o_o time_n o_o manner_n now_o as_o i_o have_v tell_v thou_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o effect_n of_o our_o christian_a &_o your_o mahometan_a prayer_n so_o i_o pray_v thou_o observe_v another_o difference_n betwixt_o you_o &_o we_o that_o i_o will_v present_o intimate_v unto_o thou_o thou_o by_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n of_o thy_o ridiculous_a koran_n do_v hope_v for_o paradise_n wherein_o thy_o master_n mahomet_n have_v promise_v river_n of_o rice_n and_o to_o virgin_n the_o embrace_n of_o angel_n under_o the_o shadow_n of_o spacious_a tree_n though_o in_o truth_n that_o paradise_n be_v nothing_o else_o then_o a_o filthy_a quagmire_n so_o full_a of_o stink_a dunghill_n that_o a_o man_n can_v walk_v two_o space_n there_o but_o he_o shall_v stumble_v at_o a_o dunghill_n and_o defile_v himself_o but_o where_o this_o paradise_n be_v not_o one_o among_o a_o thousand_o of_o you_o know_v therefore_o i_o will_v tell_v thou_o it_o stand_v in_o a_o country_n situate_a betwixt_o heaven_n and_o earth_n call_v utopia_n whereof_o there_o be_v mention_n in_o the_o three_o book_n of_o thy_o koran_n and_o in_o the_o seven_o and_o thirty_o asaria_n but_o express_v with_o those_o mystical_a and_o obscure_a term_n that_o be_v very_o difficult_a to_o understand_v it_o for_o this_o utopian_a paradise_n i_o say_v as_o the_o reward_n of_o all_o your_o superstitious_a mumble_n in_o your_o prayer_n and_o the_o often_o duck_v down_o of_o your_o head_n when_o you_o kiss_v the_o ground_n with_o such_o a_o devoute_a humility_n forsooth_o do_v you_o mahometan_n hope_v in_o another_o world_n but_o we_o christian_n hope_v to_o live_v with_o god_n and_o his_o bless_a angel_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o in_o heaven_n as_o be_v a_o

more_o will_v tell_v thou_o o_o thou_o mahometan_a and_o so_o i_o will_v conclude_v this_o tedious_a speech_n whereunto_o thy_o discourteous_a call_n of_o i_o giaur_n have_v enforce_v i_o and_o i_o prithee_o observe_v this_o my_o conclusion_n learn_v which_o be_v the_o most_o precious_a jewel_n that_o man_n have_v in_o this_o life_n by_o which_o he_o attain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o divine_a and_o humane_a thing_n come_v to_o man_n either_o by_o revelation_n which_o we_o otherwise_o call_v inspiration_n or_o by_o industry_n learn_v by_o revelation_n i_o call_v that_o which_o god_n do_v infuse_v from_o above_o by_o his_o special_a grace_n unto_o those_o who_o he_o will_v use_v as_o the_o instrument_n of_o his_o glory_n who_o without_o labour_n or_o travel_n do_v aspire_v to_o a_o most_o eminent_a degree_n of_o knowledge_n learn_v by_o industry_n i_o call_v it_o that_o which_o a_o man_n do_v purchase_v to_o himself_o by_o continual_a writing_n and_o read_v by_o practice_n and_o meditation_n now_o by_o neither_o of_o these_o mean_n have_v the_o mahometan_n acquire_v any_o mean_a much_o less_o any_o singular_a learning_n for_o as_o mahomet_n himself_o be_v a_o man_n of_o a_o

that_o never_o be_v bring_v up_o in_o study_n have_v be_v so_o expert_a in_o a_o general_a learning_n only_o by_o god_n special_a illumination_n as_o those_o have_v spend_v forty_o year_n in_o the_o
