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 law_n and_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v write_v aught_o to_o record_v nothing_o but_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v high_a and_o divine_a because_o of_o the_o prerogative_n and_o excellency_n of_o

holy_a book_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o of_o the_o glorious_a gospel_n as_o the_o true_a commentary_n for_o he_o also_o have_v teach_v that_o the_o book_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o book_n of_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 commend_v they_o but_o yet_o i_o be_o not_o content_a neither_o do_v it_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o equal_a thing_n that_o we_o musslemans_fw-mi with_o all_o our_o iniquity_n which_o do_v spring_v out_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 the_o confession_n of_o the_o unity_n be_v not_o deny_v of_o the_o jew_n no_o nor_o of_o the_o christian_n therefore_o this_o confession_n be_v without_o any_o particular_a reward_n to_o us._n the_o

be_v meet_v we_o ought_v to_o stir_v up_o our_o understanding_n unto_o thing_n of_o the_o deep_a conceit_n also_o we_o ought_v before_o all_o thing_n to_o know_v see_v that_o god_n which_o be_v just_a and_o pure_a and_o the_o fountain_n of_o goodness_n and_o perfection_n have_v create_v man_n after_o his_o own_o image_n and_o likeness_n according_a to_o himself_o that_o be_v have_v make_v he_o most_o perfect_a and_o without_o sin_n that_o therefore_o after_o the_o disobedience_n of_o the_o man_n and_o the_o fault_n which_o he_o have_v commit_v of_o necessity_n every_o man_n must_v work_v iniquity_n until_o he_o be_v restore_v unto_o his_o former_a justice_n and_o antecedent_n perfection_n the_o obtain_n of_o which_o be_v impossible_a but_o by_o the_o help_n of_o god_n and_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 do_v confess_v that_o from_o all_o eternity_n those_o book_n be_v holy_a and_o therefore_o i_o do_v know_v that_o all_o the_o musslemans_fw-mi do_v offend_v and_o i_o do_v pity_n the_o case_n in_o which_o i_o do_v see_v they_o be_v because_o i_o do_v see_v that_o we_o may_v find_v those_o book_n and_o read_v they_o and_o yet_o we_o do_v not_o as_o it_o be_v say_v we_o do_v leave_v the_o white_a bread_n &_o that_o which_o be_v most_o please_a &_o we_o do_v eat_v brown_a bread_n which_o be_v no_o way_n so_o please_v in_o taste_n nor_o so_o good_a for_o the_o body_n and_o this_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o word_n of_o verity_n and_o truth_n and_o falsehood_n for_o this_o be_v pleasant_a unto_o the_o understanding_n and_o profitable_a to_o the_o soul_n and_o that_o be_v no_o way_n

and_o direct_v his_o mind_n unto_o such_o matter_n as_o do_v appertain_v unto_o his_o soul_n as_o unto_o the_o true_a end_n i_o mean_v the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n for_o all_o thing_n of_o

which_o i_o be_o very_o glad_a ah_o our_o prophet_n in_o his_o alkoran_n in_o the_o chapter_n of_o devil_n do_v say_v that_o the_o devil_n shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o his_o law_n and_o many_o of_o the_o devil_n shall_v be_v save_v by_o mean_n of_o his_o law_n now_o we_o do_v know_v that_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o frowardness_n and_o malice_n they_o be_v fall_v into_o all_o sin_n moreover_o also_o we_o know_v that_o god_n which_o be_v good_a be_v also_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o perfection_n the_o fountain_n and_o true_a cause_n of_o all_o perfection_n and_o of_o all_o good_a thing_n how_o then_o can_v any_o part_n of_o the_o devil_n agree_v with_o he_o see_v they_o be_v wicked_a and_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v righteous_a and_o good_a shall_z without_o doubt_n to_o the_o evil_a one_o there_o agreee_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a and_o therefore_o no_o man_n can_v answer_v easy_o to_o this_o thy_o objection_n for_o the_o devil_n be_v wicked_a and_o perverse_a and_o so_o will_v be_v always_o item_n the_o difference_n between_o a_o sinful_a man_n and_o the_o devil_n be_v that_o a_o man_n may_v repent_v and_o return_v again_o unto_o god_n protection_n but_o the_o devil_n which_o ar●_n spirit_n do_v never_o alter_v their_o mind_n neither_o can_v they_o repent_v and_o so_o be_v forgive_v therefore_o they_o always_o remain_v in_o their_o wickedness_n and_o perdition_n and_o so_o for_o ever_o shall_v be_v accurse_v and_o estrange_v from_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o shall_v for_o ever_o remain_v as_o ever_o they_o have_v be_v and_o now_o be_v in_o gehenna_n ah_o for_o this_o cause_n our_o prophet_n command_v that_o every_o man_n before_o prayer_n do_v use_v the_o ceremony_n of_o wash_v and_o cleanse_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o blot_v out_o of_o his_o iniquity_n whether_o it_o be_v great_a or_o small_a and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o water_n it_o may_v be_v do_v with_o the_o rub_n on_o of_o dust_n or_o ash_n shall_z o_o my_o good_a son_n do_v not_o say_v that_o this_o thing_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o remission_n &_o do_v away_o of_o sin_n for_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n in_o very_a deed_n be_v this_o turk_n may_v not_o christian_n be_v ashamed_a to_o be_v teach_v of_o a_o turk_n the_o sinner_n must_v first_o of_o all_o see_v that_o in_o the_o heart_n there_o be_v a_o earnest_a repentance_n for_o that_o sin_n that_o he_o have_v commit_v against_o the_o lord_n then_o by_o good_a work_n he_o must_v satisfy_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o his_o justice_n three_o he_o must_v restore_v again_o unto_o his_o brother_n if_o he_o have_v take_v aught_o from_o he_o videl●_n ●_z from_o a_o musleman_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o stripe_n or_o by_o robbery_n or_o by_o rapine_n and_o in_o deed_n thy_o wash_n and_o cleansing_n and_o anointing_n do_v no_o whit_n at_o all_o profit_n he_o ah_o but_o in_o my_o opinion_n our_o prophet_n do_v not_o command_v in_o any_o place_n this_o restitution_n of_o other_o man_n good_n take_v away_o as_o thou_o affirm_v but_o that_o we_o must_v fast_o give_v alm_n pray_v cloth_n the_o poor_a and_o defend_v the_o prisoner_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o wicked_a shall_z in_o deed_n alm_n deed_n be_v good_a when_o they_o be_v give_v out_o of_o our_o own_o good_n &_o our_o own_o stock_n neither_o be_v that_o alm_n allowable_a which_o be_v give_v out_o of_o the_o good_n of_o another_o for_o god_n and_o justice_n have_v thus_o decree_v therefore_o how_o may_v we_o do_v according_a to_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n which_o say_v that_o we_o must_v give_v of_o all_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v possess_v in_o good_n one_o five_o part_n for_o a_o alm_n to_o god_n almighty_a and_o to_o our_o prophet_n shall_z i_o say_v that_o god_n do_v not_o love_v any_o part_n of_o ill_o get_v good_n or_o those_o that_o be_v accurse_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o take_v the_o good_n of_o another_o and_o he_o that_o shall_v do_v so_o hurt_v himself_o ah_o thou_o care_v not_o much_o whether_o thou_o speak_v against_o or_o for_o other_o for_o every_o one_o of_o the_o musslemans_n do_v allow_v riches_n and_o good_n get_v by_o rapine_n or_o any_o other_o way_n worse_o than_o this_o shall_z for_o this_o cause_n i_o do_v doubt_n great_o how_o they_o may_v be_v save_v from_o hell_n fire_n ah_o tell_v i_o for_o god_n sake_n see_v thou_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o save_n from_o hell_n fire_n because_o our_o prophet_n say_v in_o the_o chapter_n amran_n that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o be_v save_v but_o by_o his_o law_n and_o in_o the_o chapter_n albacara_n he_o say_v that_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o christian_n shall_v be_v save_v how_o these_o do_v agree_v shall_z there_o be_v in_o truth_n a_o manifest_a opposition_n and_o repugnancy_n between_o these_o two_o speech_n ah_o see_v that_o the_o christian_n and_o jew_n shall_v be_v save_v wherefore_o do_v our_o prophet_n command_v those_o that_o do_v not_o believe_v his_o law_n shall_v be_v slay_v or_o that_o they_o shall_v pay_v tribute_n and_o poll-money_n shall_z this_o also_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o own_o say_n for_o in_o the_o chapter_n albacara_n he_o write_v that_o in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o oppression_n ah_o and_o out_o of_o these_o say_n in_o which_o there_o be_v such_o contradiction_n there_o can_v no_o answer_n be_v make_v to_o my_o demand_n shall_z where_o be_v there_o not_o some_o contradiction_n as_o in_o that_o assora_n where_o he_o write_v that_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n do_v say_v to_o he_o that_o they_o be_v mohammeds_n follower_n he_o write_v also_o that_o god_n say_v to_o mohan_n that_o he_o be_v the_o first_o that_o write_v the_o alkoran_n now_o if_o this_o be_v true_a then_o that_o can_v which_o follow_v videlicet_fw-la that_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o follow_v mohammed_n for_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n be_v before_o mohammed_n 600_o year_n therefore_o this_o allegation_n be_v false_a for_o they_o do_v not_o follow_v the_o alkoran_n because_o it_o be_v not_o write_v at_o that_o time_n ah_o and_o i_o also_o do_v affirm_v that_o in_o this_o there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o contradiction_n but_o a_o mere_a falsehood_n oppose_v to_o the_o truth_n itself_o and_o all_o history_n shall_z therefore_o it_o be_v very_o good_a and_o expedient_a that_o the_o mussleman_n shall_v read_v all_o old_a writer_n to_o wit_n the_o gospel_n the_o law_n &_o the_o psalm_n for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o truth_n for_o our_o proph._n do_v commend_v as_o be_v say_v before_o the_o

much_o for_o he_o do_v not_o know_v any_o other_o but_o the_o arabic_a tongue_n only_o yet_o by_o a_o interpreter_n he_o hear_v that_o which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o

it_o may_v be_v that_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v false_a but_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o must_v be_v ground_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o give_v ourselves_o to_o the_o
