chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n in_o arabic_a sufeha_n i_o e._n ignorant_a people_n the_o country_n likewise_o be_v full_a of_o idolater_n aswell_o in_o arabia_n the_o happy_a as_o in_o arabia_n the_o great_a and_o throughout_o all_o persia_n and_o armenia_n where_o be_v twelve_o sort_n or_o sect_n of_o idolater_n as_o we_o show_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o this_o book_n some_o of_o they_o worship_v a_o tree_n unto_o which_o they_o sacrifice_v and_o annual_o celebrate_v feast_n and_o a_o kind_n of_o easter_n which_o tree_n they_o call_v detulanger_n the_o lord_n and_o captain_n

that_o they_o be_v idolater_n and_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o worship_v the_o god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n who_o be_v the_o true_a god_n who_o have_v create_v the_o heaven_n the_o planet_n the_o

and_o after_o death_n to_o rise_v again_o for_o to_o reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o desert_n with_o glory_n or_o punishment_n that_o god_n who_o create_v the_o paradise_n with_o so_o

deny_v and_o by_o his_o preach_v this_o aforesaid_a to_o they_o which_o be_v the_o content_n of_o half_a the_o alcoran_n diverse_o begin_v to_o believe_v in_o muhameds_n law_n or_o sect_n many_o likewise_o be_v induce_v to_o believe_v muhamed_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a boast_n and_o threaten_v which_o he_o use_v when_o he_o read_v the_o alcoran_n and_o the_o scroll_n of_o the_o punishment_n of_o their_o predecessor_n viz._n those_o who_o be_v drown_v in_o the_o world_n by_o the_o deluge_n and_o who_o escape_v in_o the_o ark_n of_o noah_n also_o the_o people_n of_o lot_n and_o of_o the_o five_o city_n which_o be_v very_o near_o unto_o mecca_n he_o also_o threaten_v and_o terrify_v they_o with_o the_o example_n of_o pharaoh_n people_n and_o the_o nine_o plague_n which_o god_n send_v upon_o they_o and_o tell_v they_o how_o they_o be_v swallow_v up_o in_o the_o sea_n because_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o moses_n he_o also_o terrify_v they_o with_o the_o

and_o which_o be_v not_o mention_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n observe_v likewise_o o_o moor_n the_o threat_n and_o menace_n which_o solomon_n use_v to_o the_o whoop_o of_o torture_n and_o death_n which_o thing_n and_o story_n be_v more_o like_o the_o tale_n and_o feign_a story_n which_o be_v use_v to_o little_a child_n than_o the_o say_n of_o a_o

eat_v salomon_n staff_n whereby_o solomon_n sell_v down_o and_o so_o the_o devil_n perceive_v and_o know_v that_o he_o be_v dead_a which_o till_o then_o they_o know_v not_o which_o story_n be_v enlarge_v thus_o that_o solomon_n have_v imprison_v several_a devil_n and_o keep_v they_o torment_v in_o dungeon_n with_o chain_n and_o fetter_n of_o iron_n and_o when_o solomon_n be_v like_a to_o
