be_v indeed_o worthy_a of_o consideration_n for_o the_o word_n be_v clear_a and_o plain_a shall_z and_o because_o i_o do_v see_v that_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a place_n therefore_o if_o the_o word_n

for_o good_a reason_n for_o our_o prophet_n speak_v these_o word_n and_o yet_o we_o do_v not_o translate_v they_o ah_o this_o be_v for_o our_o disobedience_n and_o for_o our_o other_o sin_n i_o do_v believe_v that_o our_o prophet_n speak_v these_o word_n unto_o his_o sectary_n that_o be_v you_o shall_v be_v separate_v far_o off_o from_o i_o unto_o the_o seventy_o three_o generation_n and_o one_o

according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o our_o prophet_n be_v more_o abominable_a than_o the_o jew_n and_o christian_n for_o in_o the_o chapter_n baccara_fw-la he_o say_v that_o the_o jew_n &_o christian_n shall_v go_v into_o paradise_n shall_z and_o in_o the_o chapter_n abraham_n he_o say_v that_o not_o any_o one_o shall_v go_v into_o paradise_n but_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o law_n now_o this_o

instant_n their_o soul_n be_v replenish_v with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o sense_n thereof_o they_o do_v exceed_o rejoice_v ah_o this_o rejoice_a and_o this_o power_n which_o be_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o misery_n and_o tentation_n in_o this_o world_n be_v demonstrate_v from_o that_o glory_n and_o the_o blessedness_n which_o god_n will_v give_v they_o for_o ever_o that_o be_v paradise_n shall_z our_o prophet_n in_o the_o chapter_n almaïda_n speak_v altogether_o contrary_a to_o that_o which_o thou_o now_o speak_v for_o he_o in_o that_o chapter_n do_v show_v that_o the_o jew_n and_o christian_n shall_v not_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n nor_o any_o of_o his_o friend_n and_o this_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o misery_n and_o oppression_n in_o this_o world_n which_o god_n do_v lay_v upon_o they_o for_o their_o sin_n ah_o now_o in_o my_o opinion_n from_o hence_o it_o can_v be_v argue_v that_o they_o be_v not_o the_o friend_n of_o god_n but_o what_o be_v thy_o opinion_n of_o this_o matter_n shall_z with_o i_o that_o be_v firm_a and_o good_a that_o be_v receive_v among_o the_o learned_a in_o general_a and_o of_o the_o wiseman_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v afflict_v of_o god_n and_o be_v disperse_v as_o it_o do_v appear_v plain_o 1000_o year_n ago_o and_o more_o and_o that_o they_o be_v without_o a_o

god_n and_o his_o eternal_a son_n as_o i_o show_v thou_o yesterday_o ah_o what_o do_v thou_o say_v then_o of_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o christian_n which_o god_n lay_v upon_o they_o shall_z this_o be_v not_o like_a unto_o the_o misery_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o in_o all_o that_o religion_n the_o christian_n have_v a_o priest_n &_o church_n and_o they_o do_v sacrifice_v their_o sacrifice_n praise_n god_n and_o his_o glorious_a name_n not_o only_o in_o the_o place_n where_o they_o have_v the_o sole_a command_n but_o also_o in_o constantinople_n egypt_n arabia_n in_o ada_n the_o new_a land_n that_o be_v the_o land_n in_o the_o sea_n and_o in_o all_o quarter_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o say_v that_o their_o misery_n do_v testify_v the_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o they_o as_o solomon_n the_o wise_a do_v affirm_v when_o he_o say_v that_o a_o good_a father_n do_v chastise_v his_o son_n who_o he_o love_v very_o much_o and_o david_n the_o prophet_n say_v

be_v try_v in_o the_o fire_n and_o therefore_o i_o when_o i_o do_v see_v man_n in_o felicity_n in_o this_o world_n and_o according_a to_o his_o desire_n to_o enjoy_v worldly_a matter_n without_o any_o

which_o be_v in_o the_o chapter_n almaïda_n can_v signify_v that_o the_o christian_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o misery_n which_o at_o some_o time_n they_o do_v suffer_v be_v not_o the_o son_n nor_o

of_o great_a wisdom_n as_o it_o appear_v by_o his_o speech_n and_o book_n and_o that_o it_o be_v he_o which_o build_v the_o temple_n at_o jerusalem_n for_o he_o be_v so_o command_v by_o god_n in_o

to_o be_v true_a neither_o do_v i_o know_v for_o what_o reason_n our_o prophet_n have_v write_v it_o for_o this_o parable_n be_v no_o way_n profitable_a to_o us._n ah_o that_o book_n where_o the_o

the_o prophet_n and_o gospel_n do_v contain_v the_o high_a and_o profitable_a sense_n convenient_a for_o all_o now_o i_o do_v not_o know_v why_o we_o do_v not_o translate_v they_o see_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a danger_n to_o our_o soul_n ah_o i_o also_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o read_n of_o these_o book_n be_v profitable_a and_o convenient_a see_v that_o our_o prophet_n do_v much_o

of_o we_o shall_v believe_v that_o we_o shall_v enter_v into_o paradise_n only_o for_o the_o confession_n of_o the_o unity_n of_o god_n and_o that_o his_o prophet_n mohammed_n be_v of_o god_n for_o

be_v not_o like_o that_o miracle_n of_o the_o ant._n and_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o our_o prophet_n do_v not_o write_v that_o chapter_n wherein_o be_v record_v so_o lofty_a matter_n as_o those_o precedent_a thing_n and_o the_o gospel_n be_v and_o because_o he_o say_v those_o book_n be_v give_v by_o god_n he_o signify_v that_o those_o book_n do_v contain_v all_o perfection_n and_o goodness_n therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o confess_v that_o those_o book_n appertain_v unto_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o the_o world_n &_o of_o every_o several_a person_n in_o the_o same_o shall_z yea_o &_o i_o
