of God the Father which is in Heaven But the Emperour of the Turks saith he is a great Persecutor of the Christians and you say in your Alcoran That Jesus shall be a Witness in the day of Judgment against such that obey not his Law Are not your own Words in your Alcoran and the Lord Jesus and the Apostles of Jesus Who should sustain the Law of God in Jesus absence witness against you who are Haters and Persecutors instead of loving Enemies according to the Command or Law of Jesus And therefore as Mahomet saith That Jesus shall be a Witness in the day of Judgment against such as obey not his Law So according to your own Alcoran you Turks and all others that are Persecutors who disobey the Law of Jesus he will be a Witness against you in the day of Judgment yea I say against you Turks and all other Persecutors upon the Earth Secondly Sultan Mahomet Emperor of the Turks saith he is Lord of all the Emperors of the World from the rising of the Sun to the going down thereof King of all Kingr and Lord of the Tree of Life But are there not many Kingdoms and Kings in this Northen part of the World and many Emperors and Heathen Kings in America and also in the East-Indies Hath not the Great Mogul many Kingdoms under him besides Prestor John commonly so called hath not he many Kingdoms under him And doth not the Emperor of the Turks know that these Kingdoms and Empires he is neither King nor Emperor over Yet he saith he is Emperor over all the Earth from the rising of the Sun to the going down thereof Which World he knows is but his own Country and from the rising of the Sun in it to the setting of the Sun in it for the Sun riseth and sets in America and the East-Indies and all other parts of the World where he hath no Rule nor Power and how long he may have Rule and Power Writ five Years since and is he not out of his Throne now and be Emperor in his own Country God knows And therefore it is best for the Emperor of the Terks to be humble and not conceit himself with an high and ambitious Mind that he is King of Kings and Emperor of the World where he is not and where God hath given him no Power least the Almighty God do abase him and take away his Power which he hath given him For Daniel said to Nebuchadnezer the Emperor That he should eat Grass like an Ox c. till he knew that the most high God ruleth in the Kingdoms of Men and giveth them to whom soever he will and his Kingdom should be sure to him after that he knew that the Most High did Rule And therefore the Unchangeable God Man must Fear for Heaven is his Throne and the Earth is his Footstool that Earth that the Turks and all Men stand and walk upon And so from the Face of the Eternal God and his Footstool cannot the Turk nor any other Man or Woman turn themselves but there the Face of God will meet them for Gods Divinity extends throughout all the Earth who inhabits Eternity and dwels with an humble Heart who beholds the Proud and Lofty afar off and brings down the high Looks and abaseth the Pride of Men. Thirdly And again Sultan Mahomet Emperor of the Turks thou sayest thou art Lord of the Tree of Life But the Turkish Emperor must know he is not Lord of the Tree of Life which beareth twelve manner of Fruits and yeildeth her Fruits every Month and the Leaves of the Tree were for the healing of the Nations We do not believe that the Emperor of the Turks hath any such natural Tree in all his Land or Garden that yeildeth twelve manner of Fruits every Month the Leaves of which are for the healing of Nations this Tree of Life the Turks have no Power over and John the Apostle of Christ that kept the Law or Command of Jesus Jesus speak to him and said Blessed are they that do his Commandments that they may have right to the Tree of Life that they may enter through the Gates of the City Namely Heavenly and Holy Jerusalem which descends out of Heaven from God which is not outward Jerusalem in the Land of Canaan as in the Revelations of John the 21 and 22 Chapters And Christ said to John his Apostle He that overcometh I will give him to eat of the Tree of Life Namely he that overcomes the Devil Sin and Unrighteousness whose Name is written in the Book of Life hath right to eat of the Tree of Life But if that the Emperor of the Turks doth not overcome with the Spirit of God and his Power the Devil and his Works Sin and Unrighteousness c. he cannot eat of the Tree of Life therefore he is not like to Lord and to have Power over this Tree of Life which he cannot eat of except with the Power and Spirit of God he overcome the Devil and his Works And concerning the Pure Religion and the False James who was one of the APostles of Christ Jesus saith If any Man seems to be Religious and bridles not his Tongue but deceives his own Heart that Mans Religion is vain Therefore what Religion so ever the Emperor of the Turks set up or profess or any Man or Weman else in the whole World and bridle not their Tongues with Gods Power and Spirit according to the Law or Command of Jesus which he gave to the Apostles their Religion is vain and they do but deceive their own Hearts with their vain Religion from their unbridled Tongues for pure Religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this To Visit the Fatherless and the Widows in their Affliction and to keep themselves Vnspotted from the World. And this is the pure Religion that God and Christ Jesus set up and his Apostles preach't and declared to Men and all the Believers and Converted to God and Christ and that keep their Command did and do walk in this pure Religion Fourthly Sultan Mahomet Emperor of the Turks Thou sayest Thou art Commander of the Christians Crucifyed God and sayest thou wilt Pursue their Crucified God whose Wrath thou fearest not nor his coming to defend or deliver them out of thy Hand Answer These high Words are not spoken in the fear of God for if thou knewest God thou wouldst know his Son Jesus Christ who was made of the Seed of Abraham according to the Flesh and declared to be the Son of God according to the Spirit of Holiness by the Resurrection from the Dead so that thou hast neither Power over his God-head nor his Flesh And Mahomet confesses in his Alcoran That Jesus the Son of Mary is full of Light which is according to Antient Scriptures and of the Gospel to conduct People the right Way with a confirmation of the Old Testament and to guide and instruct the Righteous Now Mahomet
