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
who_o create_v all_o thing_n visible_a and_o invisible_a be_v god_n do_v acknowledge_v and_o believe_v the_o prophet_n patriarch_n and_o messenger_n of_o god_n and_o believe_v the_o scripture_n which_o god_n send_v by_o his_o servant_n and_o also_o give_v credit_n to_o the_o evangelist_n the_o thora_n and_o the_o psalter_n and_o believe_v jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o other_o thing_n above_o mention_v so_o that_o i_o say_v that_o although_o muhamed_a in_o his_o time_n do_v some_o wicked_a thing_n as_o we_o have_v say_v before_o for_o which_o divers_a moor_n be_v offend_v at_o he_o yet_o nevertheless_o they_o never_o lose_v the_o faith_n which_o they_o have_v of_o god_n and_o the_o thing_n aforesaid_a for_o although_o they_o be_v ignorant_a they_o acknowledge_v that_o idolatry_n be_v a_o wicked_a thing_n and_o the_o way_n to_o destruction_n and_o so_o they_o have_v continue_v till_o our_o day_n believe_v all_o that_o muhamed_a make_v they_o believe_v wherefore_o i_o say_v that_o if_o muhamed_a will_v the_o moor_n have_v believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o have_v be_v all_o save_v but_o he_o conceive_v that_o if_o they_o have_v believe_v true_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v repute_v for_o a_o prophet_n nor_o a_o lawgiver_n nor_o a_o great_a lord_n and_o this_o detestable_a ambition_n deceive_v muhamed_a and_o after_o he_o deceive_v his_o disciple_n as_o here_o under_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 law_n or_o sect_n of_o muhamed_a can_v endure_v for_o muhameds_n sect_n will_v not_o be_v question_v by_o disputation_n nor_o be_v examine_v by_o natural_a reason_n for_o so_o the_o alcoran_n 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 increase_n of_o muhamed_n law_n be_v thus_o muhamed_a see_v that_o divers_a rebel_v against_o he_o for_o the_o cause_n aforesaid_a and_o return_v to_o their_o former_a opinion_n and_o require_v he_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

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

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

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

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

they_o of_o mecca_n and_o the_o jew_n of_o medina_n say_v that_o this_o alcoran_n be_v nothing_o but_o old_a story_n put_v in_o rhyme_n by_o muhamed_a who_o be_v a_o poet_n and_o this_o say_n be_v in_o many_o place_n of_o the_o alcoran_n i_o think_v above_o a_o hundred_o call_v he_o in_o arabic_a sair_n which_o we_o call_v a_o poet_n and_o thus_o o_o moor_n i_o tell_v thou_o that_o thou_o have_v no_o other_o answer_n but_o silence_n and_o thus_o thou_o may_v come_v to_o know_v the_o truth_n and_o how_o unprofitable_a it_o be_v to_o set_v down_o the_o same_o history_n so_o often_o and_o to_o make_v many_o verse_n of_o one_o thing_n thereby_o to_o make_v the_o write_n large_a futhermore_o thou_o ought_v o_o moor_n to_o consider_v and_o observe_v the_o order_n which_o be_v in_o the_o holy_a evangelist_n of_o matthew_n mark_n luke_n and_o john_n and_o how_o they_o succeed_v each_o other_o in_o order_n with_o their_o chapter_n act_n mystery_n and_o miracle_n and_o how_o every_o

in_o his_o alcoran_n likewise_o o_o moor_n thou_o shall_v consider_v and_o observe_v the_o miracle_n which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o five_o book_n of_o moses_n which_o moses_n do_v and_o which_o thy_o alcoran_n mention_n and_o likewise_o consider_v the_o miracle_n which_o jesus_n christ_n wrought_v which_o be_v relate_v in_o the_o evangelist_n and_o which_o the_o alcoran_n also_o mention_n and_o thou_o will_v see_v o_o moor_n what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o those_o miracle_n and_o the_o miracle_n which_o muhamed_a say_v he_o write_v as_o you_o may_v see_v by_o some_o

by_o moses_n and_o by_o jesus_n christ_n be_v do_v of_o charity_n and_o according_a to_o the_o need_n or_o want_v which_o require_v they_o and_o thou_o will_v see_v that_o they_o be_v divine_a true_a and_o supernatural_a and_o do_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o thousand_o of_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n thou_o will_v see_v that_o muhamed_n miracle_n be_v do_v needless_o

the_o propagation_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o how_o it_o be_v altogether_o found_v upon_o charity_n and_o peace_n without_o shed_v of_o man_n blood_n without_o rob_v or_o turn_v any_o man_n out_o of_o his_o own_o but_o muhamed_a in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o the_o second_o book_n say_v that_o they_o must_v expel_v their_o enemy_n out_o of_o their_o house_n and_o behead_v

for_o to_o have_v the_o califage_n and_o kingdom_n and_o so_o i_o say_v that_o except_o ubiquar_n and_o homar_n muhameds_n fathers-in-law_n who_o die_v natural_a death_n all_o the_o rest_n kill_v

their_o little_a charity_n to_o this_o hosman_n who_o be_v caliph_n and_o muhameds_n disciple_n and_o his_o double_a son-in-law_n for_o he_o have_v marry_v two_o of_o muhameds_n daughter_n likewise_o

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

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
