shall_v raise_v they_o again_o for_o fresh_a suffering_n and_o that_o so_o their_o torment_n shall_v never_o have_v a_o end_n they_o common_o believe_v predestination_n and_o say_v that_o good_a and_o

impossible_a that_o they_o can_v be_v otherwise_o the_o unbelief_n and_o wickedness_n of_o the_o infidel_n be_v asmuch_o according_a to_o his_o knowledge_n and_o desire_n as_o the_o obedience_n and_o faith_n of_o the_o believer_n they_o far_o say_v that_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v why_o god_n have_v create_v the_o wicked_a and_o unbeliever_n we_o be_v to_o answer_v that_o it_o do_v not_o become_v we_o to_o inquire_v too_o curious_o into_o the_o secret_n of_o god_n that_o he_o do_v what_o he_o please_v and_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o ask_v the_o reason_n of_o what_o he_o do_v and_o therefore_o a_o

they_o continue_v in_o suspense_n after_o their_o death_n and_o that_o god_n dispose_v of_o they_o according_a to_o his_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n that_o some_o he_o pardon_v and_o condemn_v other_o to_o suffer_v the_o punishment_n which_o they_o deserve_v because_o of_o their_o sin_n be_v still_o assure_v to_o go_v into_o paradise_n after_o the_o expiation_n of_o their_o crime_n they_o be_v in_o fine_a persuade_v that_o god_n pardon_v all_o sort_n of_o sin_n except_o atheism_n and_o idolatry_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o in_o the_o prayer_n they_o make_v for_o the_o

not_o only_o perform_v the_o internal_a act_n of_o faith_n but_o also_o accuse_v themselves_o of_o all_o their_o sin_n which_o they_o confess_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o to_o he_o alone_o penance_n say_v they_o be_v but_o repentance_n for_o the_o sin_n which_o we_o have_v commit_v with_o a_o firm_a resolution_n not_o to_o fall_v into_o the_o like_a again_o their_o morality_n consist_v in_o do_v good_a and_o eschew_v evil_a which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o examine_v very_o careful_o the_o nature_n of_o virtue_n and_o vice_n and_o their_o casuist_n be_v no_o less_o subtle_a than_o we_o be_v i_o shall_v here_o mention_v some_o of_o their_o principle_n whence_o we_o may_v the_o more_o easy_o judge_v of_o their_o morality_n they_o be_v so_o persuade_v that_o all_o action_n which_o be_v not_o accompany_v with_o faith_n be_v sin_n that_o they_o maintain_v that_o he_o who_o deny_v it_o lose_v the_o merit_n of_o all_o his_o good_a work_n that_o as_o often_o as_o he_o lie_v with_o his_o wife_n he_o commit_v so_o many_o adultery_n in_o a_o word_n that_o all_o he_o do_v during_o that_o time_n can_v be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n until_o he_o have_v repent_v of_o his_o sin_n and_o that_o then_o he_o become_v a_o mussulman_n or_o believer_n anew_o and_o must_v marry_v again_o a_o second_o time_n and_o if_o he_o have_v make_v the_o journey_n to_o mecha_n he_o must_v make_v it_o over_o again_o because_o all_o his_o good_a action_n have_v be_v blot_v out_o by_o that_o denial_n and_o repentance_n can_v again_o revive_v they_o when_o they_o demand_v any_o thing_n of_o god_n in_o prayer_n they_o be_v to_o resign_v themselves_o whole_o to_o his_o will_n and_o say_v to_o he_o o_o my_o god_n i_o beg_v of_o thou_o not_o to_o grant_v what_o i_o ask_v if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o my_o good_a and_o when_o they_o have_v obtain_v of_o god_n the_o favour_n they_o desire_v they_o ought_v to_o thank_v he_o confess_v themselves_o unworthy_a of_o the_o mercy_n they_o have_v receive_v and_o that_o of_o themselves_o they_o be_v able_a to_o do_v nothing_o they_o recommend_v nothing_o so_o much_o as_o trust_v and_o confidence_n in_o god_n who_o they_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v their_o only_a support_n and_o they_o particular_o praise_v humility_n which_o according_a to_o they_o consist_v in_o esteem_v other_o more_o than_o themselves_o they_o give_v excellent_a precept_n for_o bridle_v the_o passion_n and_o shun_v vice_n if_o thou_o will_v say_v they_o have_v hell_n shut_v its_o seven_o gate_n take_v heed_n thou_o sin_v not_o with_o thy_o seven_o member_n which_o be_v they_o eye_n the_o ear_n the_o tongue_n the_o hand_n the_o foot_n the_o belly_n and_o the_o privity_n which_o they_o dare_v not_o name_n and_o they_o reckon_v up_o all_o the_o particular_n from_o which_o every_o one_o of_o these_o part_n ought_v to_o abstain_v slander_n and_o backbiting_a be_v one_o of_o the_o vice_n against_o which_o they_o most_o declaim_v and_o there_o be_v nothing_o they_o so_o much_o condemn_v as_o the_o censuring_n of_o other_o people_n even_o when_o they_o be_v true_a upon_o that_o principle_n they_o ground_n this_o maxim_n that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o speak_v of_o thing_n that_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o for_o instance_n they_o forbid_v to_o say_v such_o a_o man_n be_v dead_a or_o shall_v die_v in_o the_o faith_n because_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o we_o to_o judge_v of_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v conceal_v that_o say_v they_o can_v be_v do_v only_o when_o the_o prophet_n have_v speak_v of_o they_o and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v affirm_v that_o abubekir_n homer_n osman_n and_o haly_n deserve_v paradise_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n also_o they_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o say_v that_o such_o a_o person_n be_v dead_a in_o unbelief_n or_o that_o he_o deserve_v hell_n unless_o they_o speak_v of_o those_o who_o be_v express_o mention_v by_o the_o prophet_n as_o the_o devil_n abusaheb_n and_o abugehel_n i_o wave_v the_o rest_n of_o

casuist_n of_o our_o age._n only_o let_v i_o add_v that_o they_o have_v a_o great_a many_o good_a precept_n concern_v the_o duty_n of_o private_a person_n towards_o their_o neighbour_n wherein_o they_o also_o prescribe_v rule_n of_o civility_n they_o have_v also_o write_v of_o the_o duty_n of_o subject_n towards_o their_o prince_n and_o one_o of_o their_o maxim_n be_v that_o it_o be_v never_o
