reason_n of_o their_o sin_n be_v not_o condemn_v to_o die_v how_o be_v it_o that_o the_o alcoran_n say_v that_o angel_n shall_v die_v so_o from_o these_o three_o ground_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o

of_o god_n nor_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o second_o argument_n be_v from_o what_o the_o alcoran_n say_v in_o several_a chapter_n and_o namely_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o

cast_v into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n and_o be_v curse_v for_o ever_o all_o this_o the_o alcoran_n affirm_v say_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o fall_n of_o satan_n and_o the_o evil_a angel_n be_v

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
