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 book_n of_o moses_n which_o be_v most_o methodical_o write_v from_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v name_v of_o our_o pro._n the_o ray_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o prophecy_n of_o almighty_a god_n see_v that_o our_o prophet_n do_v commend_v these_o book_n therefore_o he_o show_v that_o he_o also_o do_v read_v these_o book_n ah_o i_o do_v not_o confess_v so_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 christian_n ah_o if_o they_o be_v not_o learned_a and_o upright_a man_n it_o be_v to_o be_v doubt_v whether_o they_o have_v in_o those_o thing_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o ignorance_n speak_v the_o truth_n or_o have_v not_o alter_v the_o word_n and_o so_o now_o they_o be_v not_o as_o they_o be_v and_o therefore_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o perverseness_n they_o speak_v contradiction_n shall_z 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 read_n of_o those_o book_n for_o this_o may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o expound_v our_o law_n and_o we_o may_v learn_v by_o these_o book_n how_o to_o answer_v our_o doubt_n of_o the_o which_o we_o as_o yet_o be_v ignorant_a ah_o now_o this_o on_o our_o part_n be_v a_o foul_a shame_n for_o we_o be_v forbid_v to_o take_v delight_n in_o any_o thing_n wherein_o there_o be_v find_v any_o fable_n do_v become_v also_o ignorant_a of_o those_o thing_n which_o may_v turn_v to_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n which_o we_o ought_v especial_o to_o know_v shall_z and_o therefore_o every_o learned_a man_n ought_v to_o give_v his_o mind_n with_o all_o earnestness_n to_o study_v and_o to_o forsake_v vulgar_a opinion_n for_o to_o morrow_n or_o straight_o after_o to_o morrow_n we_o shall_v die_v and_o than_o what_o gain_n have_v we_o make_v if_o we_o have_v not_o learn_v the_o truth_n and_o to_o do_v according_a to_o the_o approbation_n of_o the_o
and_o therefore_o by_o his_o aid_n and_o assistance_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v that_o do_v seem_v to_o we_o and_o our_o sense_n heavy_a and_o difficult_a shall_v be_v make_v light_n and_o easy_a ah_o these_o great_a perfection_n be_v by_o our_o prophet_n attribute_v to_o the_o glorious_a gospel_n and_o therefore_o he_o call_v it_o perfect_a and_o a_o gift_n give_v of_o god_n shall_z it_o must_v needs_o be_v confess_v that_o he_o attribute_v to_o he_o a_o divine_a perfection_n and_o that_o his_o power_n it_o be_v which_o be_v see_v to_o be_v in_o he_o by_o reason_n of_o those_o many_o miracle_n which_o he_o do_v as_o it_o be_v read_v that_o he_o give_v sight_n to_o the_o blind_a which_o be_v so_o bear_v by_o nature_n hear_v to_o the_o deaf_a speech_n to_o the_o dumb_a and_o life_n unto_o the_o dead_a after_o they_o have_v be_v lay_v in_o the_o grave_n ah_o how_o be_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n receive_v of_o the_o jew_n which_o they_o do_v so_o much_o withstand_v shall_z demonstration_n the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v confirm_v by_o miracle_n blood_n of_o martyr_n and_o demonstration_n it_o be_v give_v by_o god_n unto_o moses_n in_o mount_n sina_n with_o thunder_n lightning_n and_o fire_n fall_v upon_o the_o multitude_n of_o man_n which_o stand_v under_o the_o mount_n for_o the_o man_n hear_v and_o see_v all_o that_o be_v do_v to_o come_v ●rom_fw-mi god_n and_o therefore_o they_o do_v confess_v that_o that_o same_o law_n be_v give_v by_o god_n moses_n also_o do_v show_v great_a miracle_n and_o be_v famous_a among_o man_n for_o his_o religion_n and_o love_n of_o god_n almighty_a towards_o he_o ah_o god_n but_o the_o alkoran_n be_v not_o thus_o confirm_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o like_a manner_n also_o if_o the_o law_n of_o our_o prophet_n and_o his_o alkoran_n of_o so_o great_a esteem_n be_v give_v of_o god_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o it_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o martyr_n by_o the_o persuasion_n of_o miracle_n and_o by_o some_o demonstration_n from_o god_n almighty_a shall_z law_n the_o alkoran_n of_o mohammed_n establish_v by_o stafford_n law_n in_o the_o alkoran_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n at_o all_o make_v of_o miracle_n do_v by_o our_o prophet_n more_fw-mi they_o of_o a_o prophecy_n of_o the_o say_a prophet_n say_v that_o his_o law_n be_v good_a and_o give_v of_o god_n and_o that_o whosoever_o shall_v not_o follow_v it_o or_o shall_v not_o receive_v it_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v slay_v with_o the_o sword_n or_o else_o he_o must_v pay_v a_o tribute_n if_o he_o persist_v in_o his_o own_o religion_n ah_o see_v then_o that_o god_n almighty_a for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o his_o law_n and_o of_o his_o own_o word_n do_v show_v miracle_n continual_o why_o now_o be_v there_o require_v the_o spear_n and_o sword_n which_o be_v offensive_a thing_n &_o spill_v of_o blood_n see_v that_o he_o himself_o out_o of_o the_o fullness_n of_o his_o mercy_n say_v i_o wish_v not_o death_n &_o murder_n but_o life_n moreover_o he_o create_v we_o in_o his_o good_a pleasure_n that_o we_o with_o a_o good_a will_n in_o love_n may_v receive_v his_o law_n and_o yield_v that_o unto_o he_o which_o be_v due_a to_o our_o god_n and_o creator_n shall_z so_o it_o be_v write_v by_o our_o prophet_n and_o so_o he_o have_v command_v us._n but_o i_o will_v not_o forget_v to_o answer_v your_o second_o question_n which_o you_o propose_v before_o to_o wit_n out_o of_o the_o gospel_n whether_o there_o be_v in_o it_o any_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v of_o god_n or_o no_o and_o what_o thing_n the_o nature_n of_o god_n be_v i_o say_v that_o thou_o have_v in_o make_v these_o question_n commit_v a_o great_a sin_n in_o that_o thou_o dare_v for_o shame_n speak_v such_o a_o thing_n for_o man_n ought_v to_o know_v that_o god_n be_v constant_a and_o true_a and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o all_o thing_n visible_a and_o invisible_a but_o what_o his_o essence_n and_o nature_n be_v that_o we_o can_v understand_v or_o know_v for_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o our_o understanding_n that_o his_o nature_n do_v not_o fall_v but_o when_o our_o understanding_n do_v dive_v into_o the_o invention_n of_o this_o thing_n it_o be_v leave_v whole_o in_o base_a ignorance_n even_o as_o our_o eye_n be_v oppose_v against_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n do_v not_o only_o not_o see_v it_o and_o lose_v the_o light_n of_o it_o but_o do_v whole_o lose_v the_o faculty_n of_o see_v which_o before_o it_o have_v believe_v therefore_o good_a son_n in_o humility_n whatsoever_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v concern_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o run_v not_o out_o at_o any_o time_n into_o speech_n to_o say_v that_o god_n can_v do_v all_o thing_n for_o god_n be_v omnipotent_a and_o do_v much_o in_o many_o matter_n who_o cause_n we_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n know_v neither_o ought_v we_o to_o search_v into_o they_o for_o they_o remain_v lay_v up_o in_o the_o treasury_n of_o his_o secret_n which_o can_v be_v comprehend_v ah_o i_o have_v sin_v and_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v my_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v true_a that_o thou_o have_v say_v but_o i_o will_v willing_o know_v for_o what_o cause_n our_o prophet_n do_v call_v christ_n the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o the_o soul_n of_o god_n or_o his_o spirit_n similitude_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o breath_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n mohammed_n show_v by_o a_o similitude_n yet_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o i_o may_v ask_v that_o question_n or_o not_o shall_z yes_o you_o may_v and_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o answer_v it_o christ_n be_v the_o soul_n or_o word_n of_o god_n as_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v the_o very_a essence_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o nature_n thereof_o ah_o therefore_o we_o may_v say_v as_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n perfect_o by_o his_o beam_n so_o be_v god_n in_o the_o height_n and_o in_o the_o earth_n by_o christ_n his_o word_n shall_z it_o be_v right_a there_o can_v no_o comparison_n nor_o similitude_n be_v make_v of_o any_o thing_n among_o all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n to_o represent_v this_o unto_o the_o understanding_n but_o by_o this_o example_n ah_o i_o think_v so_o but_o i_o see_v another_o thing_n beside_o the_o beam_n and_o the_o sun_n and_o that_o also_o distinct_o to_o wit_n heat_n by_o who_o cause_n and_o virtue_n whatsoever_o be_v see_v upon_o the_o earth_n do_v grow_v and_o spring_v shall_z so_o be_v there_o in_o god_n almighty_a and_o his_o word_n for_o out_o of_o they_o do_v proceed_v and_o arise_v the_o holy_a spirit_n by_o who_o our_o spirit_n do_v live_v and_o move_v to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o where_o there_o be_v the_o help_n &_o furtherance_n of_o this_o spirit_n increase_v there_o every_o thing_n be_v

shall_z this_o fruit_n spring_v not_o from_o i_o but_o it_o show_v itself_o out_o of_o the_o unfeigned_a work_n god_n bestow_v upon_o we_o these_o good_a fruit_n and_o fame_n thereof_o upon_o all_o

our_o prophet_n also_o do_v honour_n and_o magnify_v the_o mystery_n of_o god_n the_o most_o high_a but_o do_v conceal_v they_o and_o therefore_o he_o have_v adjudge_v it_o to_o be_v true_a and_o without_o doubt_n that_o christ_n be_v bear_v of_o mary_n the_o virgin_n for_o so_o he_o do_v absolute_o confess_v and_o he_o make_v no_o doubt_n at_o all_o of_o it_o but_o that_o this_o nativity_n be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a work_n of_o the_o bless_a god_n and_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o faith_n and_o confession_n of_o every_o one_o and_o to_o make_v no_o question_n of_o it_o for_o that_o be_v a_o mere_a denial_n of_o it_o ah_o why_o do_v we_o search_v into_o the_o profound_a secret_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o which_o be_v infinite_a
