at the rising of the Sun when the children of Israel beheld them they said we are ov●taken Moses answered no my Lord is with me he shall guide me then we inspired Moses to strike the sea with his Rod incontinently it divided it self on both sides like two mountains we saved him and all that were with him and drowned the men of Pharoah which shall serve for an example to the incredulous and obstinate the Lord is omnipotent and mercifull Relate to unbeleivers the History of Abraham when he said to his father and his people whom do ye adore they answered we adore our Idols he said unto

When he came to that place hee and his servant forgot their fish he had taken his way through the Sea Having continued their voyage some time Moses was an hungry and demanded somewhat to eat of his servant who said to him Sawest thou what hapned at the Rock I have forgotten our fish the Devill made me to forget it he miraculously took his way through the Sea that Rock is the place which we seek they both returned on their stops discoursing together untill they came to that Rock where they found one of our servants on whom we had conferred our graces and inspired knowledge Moses said unto him permit me to follow thee that thou maist teach me knowledge and instruct me He replyed thou wilt not be able to abide patiently with me how wilt thou patiently endure to hear a thing which none in the world eve● knew Moses said thou shalt find me exceeding patient and I will not disobey thee He answered if thou follow me enquire nothing of me and hear only what I shall say to thee They went together and they being in a boat he brake a planck Moses said to him thou hast broken this vessell to drown us it is a strange thing He answered Did not I tell thee that thou wilt not be able patiently to abide with me Moses replied excuse me and afflict me not I had forgotten what thou didst enjoyne me They went on together untill they met with a child whom he slew Moses said to him thou hast slain an innocent that hath not slain any one thou hast done a thing without reason and that ought not to be approved He answered did I not say thou wilt not be able patiently to abide with me Moses said to him excuse me this time also if I demand ought else of thee abandon me They coninued their way unto a Village where the Inhabitants refused them bread at that time they found a wall ruined which he raised again Moses said unto him thou shouldst have been payed for repairing this wall if thou wouldest He answered now behold the place of our separation nevertheless I will explain to thee what thou we●t impatient to learn That boat belongeth to two poor men who labour on the sea to gain their subsistance I would have pierced it to preserve it to those poor men because there was an Infidell Prince who by force seized on the good vessels for his service That infant which I flew was an Idolater the son of a true believer a righteous man we

had before prohibited Moses to suck the milk of any other nurse then that of his mother his sister said to Pharoahs servant wil ye that I provide you a nurse and people that shall carefully nourish him We caused him to be restored to his mother to nurse him she ceased from her sadness when she knew and saw that God was sincere in what he had promised but the greatest part of the people know it not When Moses was aged about thirty three years we gave him knowledge and wisdom thus do I reward the righteous Moses entring one day into the City met two men that fought the one was of the Children of Israel and the other was an Egyptian and of his enemies whom he assaulted and slew after this he said the Devil tempted me he is the open enemy of men Lord I have offended thee pardon me he pardoned him he is gracious and mercifull Lord since thou hast bin so gracious to me I will never give aid or succour to Infidels He continued in the City with fear and kept himself upon his guard on the mor●ow he again met him whom the day before he had defended who sought likewise ●ith another Egyptian required his assistance Moses said unto him thou art seditious he replyed oh Moses wilt thou slay me as thou didst slay him yesterday Wilt thou be a murtherer of all men or a just man Not long after a man came in hast to him from the utmost part of the City who said unto him oh Moses the Officers of Pharoah have conspired against thee they desire to put thee to death save thy self and follow my councell He departed from the City with fear keeping himself upon his guard beseeching his Lord to deliver him from the hands of Infidels he went towards M●adian and said Lord suffer me not to folow an evil way he met a great number of persons that made their flocks to drink he with them found 2 maids that could not water their Cattel he said unto them what do ye two here VVe have not strength to draw water to give our beasts to drink we tarry for the Shepheard our father is too old to draw it He drew water out of the well to water their Cattell and withdrew to a shade because of the heat of the Sunne saying Lord I am deprived of all the graces which heretofore then didst confer on me I ●m now poor and nec●ss●●●us One of those maidens came to seek him bashfully said unto him my father calleth thee to recompence thee for the pains thou hast taken in watering our catle when he was in the old mans presence he related what had befaln him The old man said fear nothing I wil deliver thee from the hands of the wicked one of his daughters said to her sister give to this man to eat reward his pains he assisted us with affection their father said unto him I wil marry thee to one of my two daughters on condition that thou wilt have a care of my flocks the space of eight years ten years if it please thee said Moses I will not forsake thee thou shalt find me an honest man I wil serve thee the two terms either 8. or 10. yeares as shall seem good to thee God is witnesse of what I say After the term expired Moses forsook the house of his father in law withdrawing with his wife he beheld affar off a great fire on the side of the mountain and said to his Wife tarry here I see the fire of the omnipotent I will speedily return I will bring you a spark peradventure you shall be warmed when he drew near to this fire they cryed unto him from the right side of the valley from an eminent place and from a bush O Moses I am God Lord of the Universe cast thy staffe on the ground when he beheld his staffe to move as it had bin alive he fled for fear and returned no more O Moses draw near and fear not thou art in a place of safety put t●ine hand into thy pocket it shall come out white shining without harm draw back thine arm into thy sleeve it shall return to its former condition thy staffe and thine hand shall be two signs of my Omnipotency to Pharoah and his Ministers who disobey my Commandments Moses said Lord I have s●ain an Egyptian I am afraid they will take away my life command Aaron who is eloquent to go with me to aid me to confirm what I shal say I f●ar they wil traduce me I wil give thee thy Brother for thy assistant I wil give to you both strength to defend your selvs from their malice go do what is commanded you ye shall be victorious and all those that shal follow you when Moses came to Pharoah he made him to see my miracles preached my Commandments to his Ministers they said this is bu● magick and witchcraft we have not heard these things to have bin spoken to our predecessors Moses said the Lord knoweth him that teacheth the right way and him that ought to have part in Paradise Infidels shall be most miserable Pharoah said to his Ministers do ye know any other God but me O Haman let me offer sacrifices and build a Temple shal I deceive myself with the God of Moses I believe him to be in the number of lyars He b●came proud on earth with his Ministers they b●lieved that they should never be assembled before me to be judged we surprized him with his people and caused him to perish in the Sea consider what is the end of unbelievers we abandoned them and they are in the number of the condemned to the fire of hell They shall finde none to protect them ●t the day of Judgment we cursed them on earth and at the day of the Resurrection they shall be abominable to all the world We taught Moses our Commandments after the destruct●on of many Infidels before his coming We gave him the Book to be a light to the people to conduct them into the right way and acquire our grace peradventure they will remember Thou wert not with Moses when we spake to him we created another age after him thou didst not at that time dwell with the Inhabitants of Madian neither didst thou ●each them our Commandments it is we that have instructed thee in the History of past ages thou wert not on the mountain when when spake to Moses we sent thee through our special grace to preach to men the torments of Hell they have not yet had a preacher like unto thee perhaps they will consider it when they felt any punishment for their sins they said Lord hadst thou sēt us an Apostl to instruct us we should have obeyed thy commandments have believed in thy Law when on our part they were instructed in the truth they said doth Mahome● work miracles like Moses do they not traduce what Moses did when they say that Moses

expect it with perseverance Then did we deliver him from their malice and all the true believers that were with him and destroyed those Infidels by reason of their impiety Wee sent Salhe to Temod and his people he said to them Oh ye people worship but one God he shall shew you a miracle in this * The Turks believe that Salhe through Gods permission metamorphosed a rock into a Camel Camel suffer it to feed on the Earth and do to it no harm left you be chastised Remember how God left you on the Earth after Aad he gave you to dwell in the vallies in the plaines and mountaines Remember God and pollute not the Earth any more Their Captains who were proud demanded of the poore if they believed that Salhe was indeed the Messenger of God they answered We believe in his words and in his doctrine Then said those proud men We abjure what ye believe we condemne him and they slew the Camel of Salhe in derision disobeyed the Commandements of God and said Oh Salhe Let us now see the punishment that thou didst preach if thou art of the Prophets at the same time an Earthquake with thunder surprized them and they remained dead as carkasses in their houses Salhe forsook them and said Oh ye people I declared to you the will of God with fidelity but ye detest them that affect you and give you good counsels Remember thou how Lot spake to the people saying Will you daily defile your selves with whoredome and with a filthinesse that was never yet seen in the world by any your Predecessours Will you love men better then women will you love sin rather then piety They said Let us expell Lot and his family from our Citie for that they will not contaminate themselves with us but God delivered him out of their hands and those of his house except his wife who continued with them that were punished We caused a raine to fall upon them that destroyed all of them Consider the end of the wicked We sent Chaib to the Country of Madian hee said Oh ye people worship one God alone weigh with good weights measure with good measure and retaine nothing from your Neighbour Possesse not the high wayes to give terrour to the people Neither divert True-believers from the Law of God Remember that you were but a small handfull of men and he caused you to multiply consider the end of the wicked If any among you embrace the faith and others contemne it have patience untill God judge your differences there is no better judge then he Their Teachers said Oh Chaib wee will banish thee from Madian thee and those that are of thy faith if thou art of our Religion he answered should I not abhorre your Religion I should blaspheme against God who hath delivered me I will follow it if it please God hee knoweth all things I recommend my selfe wholly to the will of his divine Majesty Lord judge our controversie thou art the best Judge of the world Then said their Teachers to the people if you follow Chaib you are damned not long after an Earth-quake and Thunder surprized them and in the morning they were found dead in their houses such as belyed Chaib found no safety in their habitations they were wretched hee abandoned them and said Oh ye people I have preached to you the will of God with fidelity I will no longer afflict my selfe with the malice of the wicked Wee infflicted sicknesse and poverty on them that disobeyed the Prophets whom we sent to the Inhabitants of Madian peradventure they will be converted Wee proved them through diseases and health and gratified them in many occurrences yet they said our fathers were afflicted with sicknesse and povertie we shall be as they but we chastised them for their sinne when they least considered it Had the Inhabitants of Mecca had our feare before their eyes and obeyed our Commandements we had opened to them the blessing of Heaven and Earth wee will punish them because they are impious Some there be that shall be afflicted in the night when they sleep and others that shall be tormented by day when they sport and recreate themselves they believed God to be a deceiver and are damned God guideth into the right way True-believers and makes them Heire of the Earth after their parents had he so pleased he might have destroyed all the world he might have hardened the hearts of the people and no man had harkned to his word I recount what things befell that * To Mecca City many Prophets have been sent to its Inhabitants and wrought many miracles yet would they not relinqui●h their former impietie thus have we hardned the hearts of Infidels they violated their promises and wee found most of them to be wicked and disobedient We sent Moses to Pharaoh and his people he to them shewed miracles which through their malice they contemned but consider the end of those wicked men Moses said unto Pharaoh I am a messenger sent from God the God of the Universe when I speak of God I deliver the Truth I am come through his command to tell thee thou must dismisse with me the Children of Israel and no longer detaine them in thy dominions Pharaoh said if thou commest from God and art true in thy sayings let us see some miracles then he cast upon the ground his staffe which was changed into a Serpent shewed his hand that appeared exceeding white to the eyes of the Spectators The Doctors of Pharaoh said this man is a Magician he would have us to abandon our Country what is your opinion detain him prisoner and his brother and send into your Cities to assemble Magicians The Magicians of Pharaoh appearing before him they said Gelaldin saith Moses his hand was ●owne what shall be our reward if we shall be victorious He replyed to them you shall be well rewarded and shall be of them that approach my person They said oh Moses wilt thou first cast down thy staffe on the ground or shall we ours Moses bad them cast down theirs which they did enchanting the eyes of the spectators and terrifying them with an extraordinary enchantment God inspired Moses to cast down his Rod which devoured the staves of the other and the Truth appeared above falshood and above the vanity of their actions they were vanquished to their confusion forsook their magick and prostrating themselves on the earth uttered these words We believe in the Lord of the Universe the Lord of Moses and of Aaron Pharaoh said to them Ye believe in the God of Moses without my permission this is a deceit invented by you to drive the people out of my Dominions but you shall soon know the punishment that I will lay upon you I will cut off your feete and hands and command you to be crucified They answered We recommend our selves wholly to the will of God whatsoever is thy revenge on us thou shalt not hinder
