upon_o the_o same_o reason_n now_o speak_v o_o moor_n and_o consider_v what_o a_o law_n you_o have_v in_o the_o alcoran_n and_o how_o do_v you_o observe_v it_o yea_o if_o a_o moor_n change_v a_o

when_o he_o cause_v the_o alcoran_n to_o be_v write_v because_o that_o one_o day_n he_o will_v cause_v verse_n to_o be_v set_v down_o command_v some_o and_o forbid_v other_o thing_n and_o another_o

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 fortress_n and_o the_o woman_n shall_v be_v leave_v alone_o and_o comfortless_o like_o widow_n so_o that_o o_o moor_n consider_v all_o this_o above_o thou_o may_v conclude_v that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n of_o god_n nor_o of_o a_o prophet_n and_o messenger_n send_v from_o god_n and_o thou_o will_v know_v that_o it_o be_v all_o as_o solomon_n say_v vanity_n of_o vanity_n and_o all_o vanity_n and_o here_o i_o will_v conclude_v this_o nine_o chapter_n chap._n x._o the_o ten_o chapter_n show_v how_o the_o alcoran_n contradict_v itself_o in_o divers_a place_n and_o trcate_v of_o divers_a thing_n in_o the_o alcoran_n which_o be_v unseemly_a and_o superfluous_a likewise_o of_o some_o miracle_n which_o muhamed_a say_v he_o do_v although_o they_o rather_o resemble_v gull_n than_o miracle_n the_o alcoran_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o second_o book_n and_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o four_o book_n say_v that_o god_n curse_v the_o devil_n and_o expel_v he_o from_o the_o glory_n of_o paradise_n and_o cast_v he_o into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n for_o ever_o likewise_o in_o the_o aforequoted_a chapter_n it_o say_v that_o the_o devil_n tell_v god_n that_o he_o will_v always_o be_v man_n mortal_a enemy_n and_o will_v always_o tempt_v man_n and_o torment_v they_o furthermore_o the_o alcoran_n in_o divers_a place_n admonish_v man_n say_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v man_n apparent_a enemy_n all_o which_o be_v notorious_a and_o manifest_a in_o the_o alcoran_n and_o after_o all_o this_o the_o alcoran_n say_v that_o the_o devil_n shall_v hear_v the_o alcoran_n and_o shall_v become_v the_o friend_n of_o muhamed_a of_o man_n and_o of_o god_n and_o that_o god_n will_v pardon_v their_o sin_n and_o promise_v they_o the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o chapter_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o of_o caf_n and_o of_o the_o glorious_a in_o the_o four_o book_n furthermore_o the_o alcoran_n contradict_v itself_o when_o he_o say_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n that_o it_o be_v give_v in_o the_o month_n of_o ramadan_n and_o in_o the_o chapter_n of_o smoke_n and_o in_o the_o chapter_n of_o the_o holy_a night_n in_o the_o four_o book_n he_o say_v that_o the_o alcocan_n be_v give_v in_o one_o night_n both_o which_o the_o course_n of_o above_o twenty_o years-time_n contradict_v during_o which_o muhamed_a be_v make_v the_o alcoran_n viz._n ten_o year_n in_o mecca_n and_o 13_o year_n in_o medina_n which_o appear_v by_o the_o title_n of_o the_o chapter_n of_o the_o alcoran_n for_o there_o be_v chapter_n of_o the_o alcoran_n which_o be_v call_v sorath_n midiniya_n i_o mean_v that_o the_o song_n or_o chapter_n which_o be_v make_v at_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 act_n and_o occurrence_n happen_v during_o the_o thirteen_o year_n which_o muhame_v dwell_v at_o medina_n and_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o they_o at_o mecca_n during_o the_o first_o ten_o year_n that_o he_o dwell_v there_o how_o be_v it_o then_o o_o moor_n that_o thou_o say_v the_o alcoran_n descend_v in_o a_o night_n or_o in_o a_o month_n and_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v true_a 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 medina_n or_o at_o mecca_n if_o thou_o say_v that_o it_o be_v at_o mecca_n than_o i_o answer_v that_o those_o chapter_n which_o be_v make_v at_o medina_n be_v not_o to_o be_v repute_v or_o judge_v for_o the_o alcoran_n and_o if_o thou_o say_v that_o this_o night_n be_v at_o medina_n than_o i_o say_v likewise_o that_o the_o chapter_n and_o verse_n make_v at_o mecca_n be_v not_o to_o be_v repute_v for_o the_o alcoran_n so_o that_o take_v it_o which_o way_n you_o will_v we_o must_v say_v that_o the_o alcoran_n say_v and_o unsay_v affirm_v and_o deny_v the_o same_o thing_n furthermore_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 prohibit_v to_o be_v eat_v in_o arabic_a he_o say_v thus_o o_o horrimet_fw-la
etc._n etc._n i._n e._n that_o god_n have_v forbid_v the_o moor_n that_o which_o be_v murrain_n blood_n swine_n that_o which_o be_v offer_v to_o idol_n and_o that_o which_o have_v be_v strangle_v that_o which_o die_v by_o the_o thrust_n of_o a_o horn_n or_o by_o a_o casualty_n and_o also_o wild_a beast_n &c_n &c_n he_o forbid_v all_o these_o thing_n in_o the_o say_a chapter_n the_o which_o also_o the_o moor_n do_v hold_v for_o prohibit_v and_o in_o another_o song_n in_o the_o five_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n god_n command_v and_o charge_v muhamed_a to_o tell_v the_o moor_n that_o they_o shall_v say_v nothing_o be_v prohibit_v and_o forbid_v to_o be_v eat_v or_o drink_v but_o murrain_n blood_n swine_n flesh_n and_o that_o which_o be_v offer_v to_o idol_n the_o say_v verse_n in_o arabic_a say_v thus_o o_o zolle_n agido_fw-la etc._n etc._n so_o that_o the_o moor_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n forbid_v twelve_o thing_n and_o in_o the_o other_o chapter_n contradict_v themselves_o they_o forbid_v but_o four_o and_o if_o thou_o will_v say_v o_o moor_n that_o the_o verse_n of_o the_o last_o chapter_n be_v revoke_v by_o the_o first_o i_o prove_v that_o the_o first_o much_o less_o the_o last_o be_v not_o revoke_v but_o be_v verse_n which_o remain_v in_o force_n and_o virtue_n and_o which_o be_v call_v in_o arabic_a ayetum_n mohquemetum_n i_o e._n decisory_n and_o valid_a verse_n nay_o it_o be_v not_o find_v in_o all_o the_o alcoran_n that_o any_o former_a verse_n revoke_v the_o second_o for_o it_o may_v be_v reasonable_a that_o the_o second_o may_v revoke_v the_o first_o but_o not_o that_o the_o first_o shall_v revoke_v the_o second_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o if_o the_o first_o verse_n be_v valid_a and_o decisory_a the_o second_o verse_n must_v likewise_o be_v valid_a and_o decisory_a and_o this_o be_v so_o conclude_v among_o the_o moor_n viz._n that_o both_o the_o verse_n shall_v be_v valid_a and_o decisory_a what_o say_v thou_o now_o o_o moor_n in_o this_o great_a confusion_n where_o one_o verse_n forbid_v twelve_o thing_n and_o the_o other_o forbid_v but_o four_o for_o hence_o it_o plain_o appear_v that_o these_o be_v not_o verse_n of_o god_n nor_o of_o a_o prophet_n send_v from_o god_n furthermore_o the_o alcoran_n in_o the_o eleven_o chapter_n of_o the_o second_o book_n write_v that_o the_o use_n of_o wine_n be_v allow_v the_o word_n in_o arabic_a say_v thus_o o_o guamin_n zamarati_fw-la etc._n etc._n which_o signify_v that_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o date_n of_o the_o palm_n tree_n and_o of_o grape_n you_o may_v drink_v and_o take_v lawful_a sustentation_n by_o force_n of_o which_o verse_n the_o moor_n drink_v wine_n lawful_o the_o space_n of_o twelve_o year_n but_o afterward_o upon_o a_o fancy_n which_o muhamed_a take_v he_o forbid_v it_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n not_o by_o the_o alcoran_n so_o that_o muhamed_a contradict_v the_o alcoran_n and_o thus_o in_o divers_a chapter_n you_o find_v that_o the_o alcoran_n contradict_v itself_o likewise_o the_o alcoran_n say_v to_o muhamed_a that_o if_o he_o doubt_v whether_o the_o alcoran_n be_v of_o god_n or_o of_o man_n he_o shall_v inquire_v of_o the_o jew_n and_o christian_n who_o have_v read_v the_o scripture_n before_o he_o the_o word_n in_o arabic_a be_v thus_o o_o fainz_fw-fr unte_fw-mi etc._n etc._n i._n e._n verbatim_o o_o muhamed_a if_o thou_o doubte_v or_o art_n uncertain_a of_o this_o alcoran_n which_o we_o have_v cause_v to_o be_v send_v down_o to_o thou_o ask_v of_o those_o who_o have_v read_v the_o scripture_n before_o thou_o all_o the_o glosser_n say_v that_o they_o who_o have_v read_v the_o scripture_n be_v the_o jew_n and_o christian_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n he_o say_v that_o the_o jew_n and_o christian_n have_v no_o law_n and_o that_o they_o err_v and_o the_o same_o alcoran_n call_v the_o jew_n curse_v and_o the_o christian_n erroneous_a furthermore_o in_o divers_a place_n he_o speak_v well_o of_o the_o jew_n and_o christian_n and_o say_v that_o the_o thora_n or_o law_n be_v the_o true_a book_n of_o god_n and_o that_o god_n send_v the_o say_a law_n of_o moses_n good_a and_o true_a by_o which_o law_n the_o prophet_n and_o messenger_n do_v judge_v and_o all_o those_o who_o do_v not_o judge_v by_o the_o thora_n be_v unjust_a and_o unbeliever_n in_o god_n the_o word_n in_o arabic_a in_o the_o four_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n run_v thus_o ogua_fw-la anzelne_fw-la etc._n etc._n i._n e._n verbatim_o we_o god_n send_v the_o thora_n which_o be_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n a_o light_n and_o straight_o path_n by_o which_o the_o prophet_n do_v judge_v and_o they_o who_o do_v not_o judge_v by_o this_o which_o god_n send_v to_o the_o world_n be_v insidel_n and_o unrighteous_a likewise_o he_o say_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o light_n life_n law_n and_o salvation_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o afterward_o he_o say_v that_o the_o christian_n and_o jew_n have_v no_o law_n and_o that_o they_o be_v curse_v and_o erroneous_a and_o if_o thou_o o_o moor_n say_v as_o all_o the_o moor_n general_o do_v that_o the_o thora_n and_o the_o evangelist_n be_v not_o now_o what_o they_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o moses_n and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o the_o christian_n have_v alter_v the_o gospel_n and_o the_o jew_n have_v pervert_v the_o thora_n to_o that_o i_o will_v answer_v o_o moor_n and_o say_v that_o that_o argument_n be_v not_o good_a for_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o and_o principal_a as_o concern_v the_o thora_n be_v that_o the_o same_o book_n and_o chapter_n which_o the_o jew_n have_v in_o the_o time_n of_o moses_n and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o prophet_n until_o jesus_n christ_n the_o very_a same_o they_o have_v still_o and_o the_o christian_n have_v always_o have_v they_o without_o want_v a_o tittle_n &_o not_o only_o the_o thora_n which_o be_v the_o five_o book_n of_o moses_n but_o also_o all_o the_o old_a testament_n now_o thou_o know_v o_o moor_n that_o the_o jew_n and_o christian_n differ_v in_o worship_n so_o that_o if_o the_o jew_n have_v change_v and_o alter_v the_o scripture_n it_o will_v not_o have_v continue_v one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o christian_n as_o now_o it_o be_v and_o have_v always_o be_v the_o reason_n o_o honest_a moor_n be_v because_o the_o scripture_n be_v give_v by_o god_n and_o that_o scripture_n which_o be_v give_v by_o god_n will_v never_o be_v lose_v as_o be_v the_o book_n of_o muhamed_n suné_n as_o we_o have_v say_v above_o in_o the_o three_o chapter_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o when_o muhamed_a publish_v his_o reliligion_n it_o be_v already_o 600._o year_n since_o the_o christian_a law_n or_o religion_n have_v be_v preach_v to_o all_o the_o world_n and_o so_o long_o also_o have_v the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o new_a be_v unite_v to_o wit_n the_o figure_n and_o the_o thing_n figure_v so_o concordant_a and_o harmonious_a as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v both_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o see_v god_n command_v muhamed_a to_o inquire_v of_o the_o reader_n of_o this_o scripture_n for_o his_o information_n the_o scripture_n doubtless_o be_v then_o good_a and_o true_a and_o be_v likewise_o at_o present_a good_a and_o true_a for_o the_o same_o as_o it_o then_o be_v it_o still_o be_v and_o if_o it_o have_v be_v alter_v at_o the_o time_n of_o muhamed_a god_n shall_v have_v give_v muhamed_a notice_n of_o it_o and_o have_v give_v he_o to_o know_v that_o at_o first_o it_o be_v good_a but_o then_o bad_a so_o that_o o_o moor_n thou_o have_v no_o right_n on_o thy_o side_n notwithstanding_o whatsoever_o the_o moor_n and_o musselman_n say_v for_o he_o that_o bring_v the_o testimony_n of_o two_o for_o proof_n of_o his_o own_o cause_n do_v yield_v that_o those_o witness_n be_v good_a and_o true_a not_o bad_a and_o reprochable_a because_o if_o they_o be_v reprochable_a and_o of_o ill_a fame_n they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v receive_v for_o witness_n now_o if_o god_n bid_v muhamed_a to_o inquire_v of_o the_o jew_n and_o christian_n for_o his_o own_o information_n and_o satisfy_v himself_o from_o their_o two_o scripture_n you_o must_v conclude_v o_o moor_n that_o those_o scripture_n at_o the_o time_n of_o such_o inquiry_n be_v good_a and_o true_a as_o still_o they_o be_v and_o will_v always_o be_v and_o for_o this_o reason_n o_o moor_n thou_o must_v be_v silent_a and_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o alcoran_n contradict_v itself_o in_o divers_a place_n and_o so_o i_o will_v conclude_v this_o point_n concern_v the_o superfluous_a and_o immodest_a thing_n which_o muhamed_a have_v insert_v in_o the_o koran_n the_o first_o
be_v that_o which_o he_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n which_o in_o arabic_a say_v thus_o oniz_n uquum_n etc._n etc._n i._n e._n o_o you_o moor_n your_o wife_n be_v your_o ground_n therefore_o cast_v seed_n into_o they_o as_o you_o please_v which_o text_n or_o verse_n be_v filthy_a villainous_a and_o immodest_a of_o itself_o and_o extreme_a superfluous_a but_o the_o glosser_n of_o the_o alcoran_n in_o expound_v and_o excuse_v it_o have_v pollute_v it_o more_o say_v that_o those_o word_n as_o you_o please_v do_v not_o intend_v otherwise_o than_o at_o

so_o that_o although_o the_o text_n of_o itself_o be_v filthy_a and_o bawdy_a yet_o the_o gloss_n and_o comment_n thereon_o be_v far_o worse_o now_o tell_v i_o o_o moor_n what_o think_v thou_o of_o this_o verse_n of_o the_o alcoran_n indeed_o such_o discourse_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v write_v in_o a_o book_n which_o you_o say_v be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n at_o least_o all_o the_o moor_n must_v say_v that_o god_n will_v here_o teach_v you_o how_o you_o shall_v use_v your_o wife_n which_o be_v not_o a_o reasonable_a excuse_n for_o we_o do_v not_o read_v that_o god_n teach_v adam_n which_o way_n he_o shall_v lie_v with_o his_o wife_n though_o they_o be_v the_o first_o marry_v couple_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o i_o say_v that_o this_o verse_n be_v superfluous_a and_o base_a and_o the_o gloss_n far_o more_o filthy_a for_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o mention_v a_o thing_n so_o natural_a to_o man_n especial_o in_o the_o seven_o age_n of_o the_o world_n and_o which_o be_v not_o only_o natural_a to_o man_n but_o also_o to_o bruit_v beast_n and_o bird_n now_o speak_v thou_o moor_n who_o be_v beyond_o the_o sea_n do_v thou_o not_o observe_v the_o

alimeme_n that_o be_v the_o book_n of_o the_o caliphs_n and_o king_n wherefore_o i_o conclude_v and_o say_v as_o be_v the_o master_n such_o be_v the_o disciple_n and_o therefore_o the_o proverb_n say_v well_o when_o the_o head_n ache_v all_o the_o member_n be_v distemper_v also_o for_o conclusion_n i_o will_v here_o insert_v one_o article_n which_o i_o forget_v to_o set_v down_o in_o the_o chapter_n of_o wife_n you_o must_v know_v that_o muhamed_a contract_a marriage_n with_o the_o say_v axa_fw-la who_o be_v ubequar_n daughter_n when_o she_o be_v six_o year_n old_a and_o consummate_v the_o say_a marriage_n with_o she_o when_o she_o be_v but_o eight_o year_n old_a which_o thing_n i_o prove_v by_o the_o say_a book_n azar_n upon_o which_o i_o will_v ask_v thou_o o_o moor_n and_o will_v have_v thou_o resolve_v i_o whether_o it_o be_v fit_a for_o muhamed_a to_o consummate_v marriage_n with_o a_o little_a girl_n of_o eight_o year_n old_a which_o be_v almost_o a_o homicide_n and_o a_o sin_n against_o nature_n especial_o in_o such_o a_o man_n as_o muhamed_a and_o who_o at_o that_o time_n have_v seven_o wife_n together_o speak_v o_o moor_n in_o god_n name_n be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a vice_n and_o be_v he_o not_o a_o man_n luxurious_a beyond_o measure_n wherefore_o o_o moor_n i_o entreat_v thou_o to_o consider_v all_o this_o above_o for_o it_o be_v all_o speak_v to_o give_v thou_o light_n and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o thou_o may_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o what_o thou_o do_v not_o understand_v for_o the_o truth_n be_v there_o be_v very_o few_o of_o the_o alfaquy_n of_o the_o moor_n who_o understand_v their_o own_o law_n and_o of_o the_o other_o moor_n not_o one_o and_o i_o do_v assure_v thou_o that_o what_o i_o have_v write_v in_o this_o book_n be_v not_o of_o malice_n but_o because_o i_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o make_v and_o collect_v such_o a_o discourse_n see_v i_o have_v receive_v ability_n from_o god_n to_o do_v it_o and_o i_o render_v infinite_a thanks_o to_o god_n and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o he_o have_v illuminate_v i_o by_o the_o light_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o have_v draw_v i_o from_o such_o obscurity_n and_o so_o great_a darkness_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v with_o the_o prophet_n david_n this_o verse_n which_o he_o sing_v even_o as_o a_o bird_n out_o of_o the_o fowler_n ginn_n escapes_n away_o right_o so_o it_o fare_v with_o we_o broke_n be_v the_o net_n and_o we_o have_v escape_v thus_o i_o render_v thou_o thanks_o almighty_a god_n who_o live_v and_o reign_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o for_o all_o thy_o benefit_n and_o especial_o o_fw-fr heavenly_a father_n i_o give_v thou_o thanks_o for_o that_o not_o for_o my_o merit_n but_o of_o thy_o mere_a mercy_n thou_o have_v be_v please_v to_o let_v i_o have_v a_o place_n in_o the_o company_n and_o assembly_n of_o christian_n i_o humble_o beseech_v thou_o that_o with_o steadfast_a purpose_n i_o may_v keep_v the_o faith_n which_o i_o promise_v in_o baptism_n and_o that_o so_o i_o may_v have_v a_o place_n among_o thy_o elect_n in_o glory_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n amen_n finis_fw-la
