second_o cause_n be_v because_o adam_n sin_n be_v the_o occasion_n of_o his_o death_n by_o which_o sin_v all_o his_o posterity_n be_v condemn_v to_o die_v whence_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o he_o

die_v not_o neither_o can_v die_v which_o be_v this_o lucifer_n and_o all_o the_o angel_n that_o sin_v with_o he_o by_o their_o pride_n against_o god_n be_v for_o this_o sin_n deprive_v of_o the_o

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 angel_n shall_v not_o die_v and_o that_o he_o that_o say_v that_o angel_n die_v speak_v not_o the_o truth_n and_o in_o regard_n the_o alcoran_n say_v that_o angel_n die_v i_o say_v it_o be_v not_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 book_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o second_o and_o four_o book_n in_o which_o three_o chapter_n he_o relate_v the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o history_n of_o adam_n how_o he_o be_v create_v of_o earth_n by_o the_o hand_n and_o workmanship_n of_o god_n and_o how_o god_n inspire_v life_n into_o he_o and_o further_o in_o the_o say_a chapter_n he_o say_v and_o affirm_v that_o after_o adam_n be_v create_v god_n command_v the_o angel_n to_o bow_v themselves_o down_o to_o the_o ground_n and_o worship_n adam_n and_o that_o they_o all_o do_v so_o except_o satan_n who_o refuse_v to_o do_v it_o and_o god_n ask_v he_o why_o he_o will_v not_o worship_v he_o who_o he_o have_v make_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o he_o say_v that_o satan_n answer_v that_o he_o be_v create_v of_o a_o more_o excellent_a nature_n viz._n of_o fire_n and_o adam_n of_o dirt_n than_o god_n curse_v satan_n and_o he_o and_o all_o those_o who_o have_v the_o like_a will_n as_o he_o be_v 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 because_o that_o they_o will_v not_o worship_n adam_n nor_o prostrate_v themselves_o before_o he_o and_o the_o word_n in_o arabic_a be_v thus_o ognaidcale_n etc._n etc._n and_o do_v signify_v that_o which_o we_o have_v relate_v and_o declare_v above_o which_o be_v not_o only_o a_o untruth_n but_o also_o a_o great_a heresy_n and_o blasphemy_n now_o speak_v o_o moor_n and_o observe_v whether_o this_o have_v any_o sense_n or_o reason_n in_o it_o for_o you_o must_v conceive_v that_o if_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v true_a it_o will_v have_v be_v write_v in_o the_o first_o of_o the_o five_o book_n of_o moses_n which_o be_v call_v the_o book_n of_o genesis_n or_o the_o creation_n wherein_o he_o set_v down_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o how_o god_n create_v all_o celestial_a and_o

that_o the_o alcoran_n say_v that_o which_o be_v never_o true_a and_o which_o can_v never_o enter_v into_o the_o brain_n of_o a_o reasonable_a man_n and_o therefore_o in_o conclusion_n i_o say_v that_o the_o alcoran_n have_v not_o any_o reason_n or_o truth_n in_o it_o the_o three_o argument_n be_v upon_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o three_o book_n where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o

i_o and_o to_o any_o one_o that_o have_v sense_n and_o discretion_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o root_n of_o idolatry_n to_o turn_v one_o face_n and_o to_o pray_v towards_o the_o house_n and_o tower_n where_o the_o idol_n be_v therefore_o consider_v o_o moor_n and_o weigh_v all_o the_o premise_n and_o what_o follow_v and_o thou_o will_v find_v that_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o muhamed_n law_n until_o it_o be_v finish_v it_o always_o proceed_v from_o bad_a to_o worse_o be_v incongruous_a and_o offensive_a full_a of_o divers_a confusion_n scandal_n and_o vain_a fancy_n which_o thing_n give_v we_o to_o know_v that_o it_o neither_o be_v nor_o be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o three_o offence_n happen_v upon_o occasion_n of_o a_o very_a scandalous_a and_o villainous_a act_n and_o great_a

idol_n in_o stead_n of_o say_v that_o they_o be_v most_o abominable_a and_o wicked_a devil_n say_v that_o they_o be_v most_o high_a god_n and_o that_o it_o be_v good_a to_o hope_v in_o they_o and_o muhamed_a not_o only_o commit_v a_o error_n in_o read_v and_o say_v these_o word_n but_o also_o prostrate_v himself_o on_o the_o ground_n and_o divers_a moor_n with_o he_o but_o some_o of_o the_o moor_n do_v not_o prostrate_v themselves_o but_o tell_v mahume_v that_o he_o have_v commit_v a_o error_n in_o read_v so_o and_o prostrate_v himself_o and_o when_o muhamed_a perceive_v his_o error_n he_o answer_v they_o say_v that_o the_o devil_n make_v he_o mistake_v and_o have_v take_v away_o the_o good_a word_n of_o the_o alcoran_n and_o insert_v the_o word_n which_o he_o have_v speak_v and_o that_o through_o the_o deceit_n of_o the_o devil_n he_o have_v err_v in_o read_v so_o and_o in_o prostrate_v himself_o the_o which_o divers_a of_o the_o moor_n take_v notice_n of_o and_o be_v offend_v with_o it_o turn_v to_o their_o former_a sect_n and_o way_n of_o worship_n thus_o muhamed_a be_v not_o free_a from_o temptation_n though_o he_o give_v out_o that_o the_o angel_n gabriel_n take_v the_o black_a coat_n out_o of_o his_o heart_n wherefore_o o_o moor_n you_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o that_o be_v not_o true_a which_o muhamed_a say_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n that_o the_o angel_n lance_v his_o breast_n and_o take_v forth_o his_o heart_n and_o cut_v out_o the_o black_a coat_n or_o filthy_a matter_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v tempt_v of_o the_o devil_n at_o any_o time_n for_o if_o that_o have_v be_v true_a the_o devil_n have_v not_o now_o tempt_v he_o nor_o have_v make_v he_o say_v what_o he_o do_v nor_o have_v he_o magnify_v the_o idol_n and_o prostrate_v himself_o to_o the_o ground_n to_o worship_v they_o whereof_o divers_a take_v notice_n as_o we_o say_v before_o and_o when_o muhamed_a know_v that_o the_o people_n be_v offend_v and_o that_o all_o the_o people_n of_o mecca_n and_o the_o moor_n and_o jew_n murmur_v against_o he_o and_o his_o moor_n he_o institute_v a_o verse_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o four_o chapter_n of_o the_o three_o book_n which_o be_v in_o arabic_a thus_o guame_fw-mi alcerne_v etc._n etc._n that_o god_n never_o send_v any_o prophet_n which_o be_v not_o tempt_v and_o when_o he_o read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o devil_n will_v be_v busy_a and_o put_v some_o other_o word_n among_o they_o nevertheless_o say_v he_o god_n command_v to_o take_v away_o the_o evil_a and_o confirm_v the_o good_a and_o by_o this_o verse_n muhomed_n inform_v the_o moor_n that_o that_o have_v befall_v he_o from_o the_o devil_n even_o as_o the_o like_a have_v befall_v other_o prophet_n and_o that_o god_n

rustic_a ignorant_a beastly_a and_o idolatrous_a be_v man_n void_a and_o destitute_a of_o all_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n for_o among_o that_o people_n be_v no_o logician_n astrologer_n

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
