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
