Two Books of great esteem amongst the Turks besides the Alcoran THe first hath the description of the Voyage of Mahomet in Paradise by the guidance of the Angel Gabriel He went say they into the first heaven mounted upon Alborach a Beast a little bigger then an Ass having the face of a man and found that first Sphear was of fine Silver and so thick as the space that a Footman can run in Five hundered years There he found an Angel as tall as the space of the journey of a Thousand years with Seventy thousand other Angels every one of which had Seventy thousand Heads and every Head seventy thousand Horns every Horn seventy thousand Knots and from one Knot to another the space of the jouruey of forty years And every Head seventy thousand Faces and every Face seventy thousand Mouthes and every Mouth seventy thousand Tongues and every Tongue spake a thousand Languages with which they praised God every day seventy thousand times The second Heaven was made all of burnisht Gold where he saw a great multitude of others greater then these and amongst them one that had his feet on the earth and his head in the third Heaven But all these were Pigmies to one that he found in the third Heaven which was so monstrously great that he held the world in the palm of his hand and yet it hindered him not from shutting it In the fourth Heaven every one had seventy pair of Wings in every Wing seventy thousand feathers to flie with and every feather seventy thousand cubits long In the fifth Heaven the Angel that opened the Gate to them had seven thousand Arms and every Arm seven thousand Hands In the other Heavens they found not any Angels of such an unmeasurable stature but in the eighth Sphear they tossed the Globe of the Earth and Sea as easily as a little Ball. In the other Book is recited the History of a discourse between a Turk and a Jew who asked him concerning the principal points of his Doctrine he said that God created a Paper and a Pen of so fair a Fabrick that the Pen was Five hundred days journey long and Fourscore thick and that with this Pen that hath Fourscore points or nebs is written perpetually all that hath been is or shall be in the world That the Sun and Moon had equal light in the beginning so that the day and night could not well be destinguished but that the Angel Gabriel flying put the end of his wing into the Moon and made her lose half her light There is mention made of a Cow that had forty horns and between two of her horns the space of a thousand years journey and yet that this Cow was under the earth Of a Fish that had his Head in the East and the Tail in the West that beareth upon his back the Earth the Sea and the Mountains That Rats were begotten in the Ark of the sneezing of a Sow or Boar and Cats of the sneezing of a Lion That Seraphiel in the day of the resurrection shall sound a Trumpet Five hundred years journey long and that then all the souls of the dead shall seek out their bodies That the Mahometan Religion cannot be a true Religion 1.

THE Baptized Turk OR A NARRATIVE Of the happy Conversion of Signior Rigep Dandulo THE Onely Son of a Silk Merchant in the Isle of TZIO from the Delusions of that great Impostor Mahomet unto the Christian Religion AND Of his Admission unto Baptism by Mr. GUNNING at Excester-house Chappel the 8th of Novemb. 1657. Drawn up by THO. WARMSTRY D.D. Psal 68.31 The Morians Land shall soon stretch out her hands to God London Printed for J. Williams T. Garthwait in St. Pauls Church-yard and Henry Marsh at the Princes Arms at the lower end of Chancery-lane near the inner-Temple-gate in Fleetstreet 1658. To the Right Honorable The Countess of Dorset The Honorable The Lord Gorge And the Worshipful Philip Warwick Esq Witnesses at the Baptism of Signior DANDULO the Convert Right Honorable Honorable and Worshipful TRue Honor is the splendor of Vertue and holiness and where it hath its just derivation and place it is a shadow of that sacred combination of Greatness and Goodness which are originally conjoyned and even the same in God himself and which should never be separated in the Creatures indeed all true Greatness is the issue of Goodness if it be rightly begotten and then like a good Childe it is ordained to be the Nurse of its own Mother it being dispensed by God unto the Sons and Daughters of men to be an advantage and encouragement as well as an engagement unto vertuous honourable and generous undertakings Of which however the blear-eyed and doating world is mistaken there are none so truly and eminently glorious as those that are conversant in Religion and divine Worship which as it is the highest end that God did or could aim at in the creation of Man so it must therefore needs be the greatest eminency and perfection that the generations of men are capable of for every thing is by so much more excellent by how much the more it is advanced towards the scope and design of its being and draweth nearer if we may so speak where there is no comparison or proportion to be found unto him who is the sum of all that perfection which is in the accumulation of all Greatness and Goodness together and truly earthly Honor is then in its increment and exaltation when it is made the ornament of Religion and Godliness or rather is adorned by it When the rayes of Eminency of Birth Place or Reputation wherewith God shines upon persons of Dignity and Honor reflect back again in holy gleams of heavenly love to God and holy beams of illustration upon his Worship and Ordinances and when they raise that holy return unto God that was in Davids soul at the dedication of his house Psal 30.1 I will extol thee O Lord because thou hast lifted me up and not made my foes to triumph over me And certainly this is the greatest end for which God bestows Honor upon the greatest men that they may be the more conspicuous and the more exemplary in the service and adoration of God and not be as too many in our Age and Nation like unthankful clouds obscuring the Sun that raised them or like the Moon in the Dragons Tail eclipsing that glory from whence she receiveth all her light It is therefore the greatest advancement that you can give to your State and Dignity to let it shine in the Sanctuary of the Lord that you may by your holy and eminent patterns help to undeceive the besotted World that looks upon Offices of Religion as if they were a business fit onely for those that are of a low condition that you may make them know that Crowns and Diadems and Robes of Honor ate never so resplendent as when they are cast before the Throne of the great God How amiable was it to see you of late as so many Stars in your several sphears and degrees of Glory shining as a propitious constellation at the new birth of this our Convert when you were Witnesses at his Baptism and I hope you were orient and ascendent at that hour and then I need not doubt but you had your happy influence as well in the procurement of a spiritual blessing upon his Soul as you honorable Madam have been special and noble in taking care for his supportance and encouragement And I wish you may never want the milk of the divine breast of that God unto whose new-born Child you are become so bountiful a Nurse wherein you have provided not onely for him but for the honour of the Christian yea of the poor English Church and for the encouragement of others to come in to the embracement of Gods Truth in the entire reliance upon the divine mercy which I wish you may see effectual in a happy confluence of many multitudes unto the Gospel of Christ to the advancing of the reward of your piety from his hand whose abundant blessing I wish upon you all who am Honoured Madam Noble Lord Worthy Sir Your humble Servant in Christ Jesus THO. WARMSTRY A POSTSCRIPT Giving an Account of the last Conference betwixt Mr. Gunning and Signior Dandulo After these words pag. 96. line 23. After our departure it pleased God to send reverend Mr. Gunning who after some strugglings obtained from him at length as if some violent beam of light and grace had broken in upon his soul c. not onely a consent to be baptised but an earnest desire that it might be done without delay saying Let it be done to morrow THat the Reader may be satisfied who will probably desire to know what that last Discourse was betwixt Mr. Gunning and Signior Dandulo which obtained from him his consent to be Baptized Dr. Warmstry by Letter intreated Mr Gunning that he would be pleased to set down that last Discourse which at Dr. Warmstry's request Mr. Gunning hath done in the following account Mr. Gunning SIgnior You may remember that when I was with you before I told you that we must found our discourse concerning our two different Religions on that wherein we both are agreed concerning Religion which was this That the Light of Nature and Right Reason common to us both hath confessedly taught us both that one onely true God is to be worshipped the Maker Conserver Governor and Judge of the world and that the Dictates of Right Reason and of the Law of Nature are the Laws of that One God in obedience whereto to serve that One God true Religion Now whatever Religion supe adds more then this which the light of Nature teacheth pretending supernatural Revelation for its perfecting clearing and repairing what by sin is become maimed corrupt and obliterate in the dim light of Nature which needeth medicine as both Christianity and Turcism do superadd must either bring proofs of such their superaddition pretended supernatural Revelation or must justly be suspected of Imposture The proof of a supernatural Revelation and Religion made by Jesus Christ to the world I having instantly offered you you tell me it is unnecessary

of divine and those very remarkable dispensations which the Lord was pleased to produce and put together in this subject we have in hand For this reason and yet moreover because it may perhaps give some light not unuseful for the discovery of the great difference there is between the beautiful truths of the Gospel and the deformed errors of the Alcoran and may afford some help and encouragement unto others for and in the undertaking of the like endeavors of conversion I shall therefore for the better clearing of the matter and that men may see by what advantages this was and other such like conversions may be attempted and know in some measure from what desperate errors and mischief this conversion hath brought the Soul of him that hath imbraced it to the enlargement of our comfort and advancement of the glory of Gods grace I shall endeavor to set down some principal matters or tenets wherein the Mahometans and we do agree and subjoyn some of those most remakable errors wherein they differ from Christianity that by this we may be enabled to discover the disease of those that are misled in that way of error and by that we may be the better instructed for their conversion for since every conviction doth proceed à concessis and must fetch its strength from some Truths that are granted and agreed upon if it be rightly managed it is of great concernment for us to know both wherein they agree with us wherein they differ from us that we may gain strength and advantage from the one for confutation and remedy of the other Take therefore these Observations out of Levinus Warnerus in his Compendium Historicum printed at Leyden 1643. and others First Quod illi Adam Eva cum essent origo hominum eorumque stirps reputati sint ac si homines ● universi essent They do acknowledge the fall of all Mankinde in Adam and Eve their first Parents in a greater degree I fear then some Christians in our daies for they declare concerning the casting out of Adam and Eve out of Paradise that it may also be fitly understood of their posterity for that seeing they were the orignal and root or stock of men they were reputed as if they had been all men in general In which words saith Warnerus the same seemeth to be intimated that the Apostle of the Gentiles saith Rom. 5. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 By one man sin came into the world for that or in whom all have sinned So that they seem to embrace that of the same Apostle that by the disobedience of one man many were made sinners but then though they acknowledge the disease so far yet as evil and unkinde Physitians to themselves and others they reject the remedy and will not embrace that which the Apostle addeth so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous but instead of this they believe that Adam without any satisfaction presently obtained pardon when being led by repentance he made this Prayer to God which the Alcoran reciteth Domine noster injurii fuimus animabus nostris si non condonaveris nobis ac misertus fueris damnum feremus O Lord we have been injurious to our souls and if thou pardon us not we must bear the damage or punishment And they say that this sin of our first Parents was but asmal sin that the punishment thereof might be the more exemplary that men might thereby know that great and careful caution is to be used that they let not loose the bridle unto sin Cum ille Adam ejectus sit de Paradiso ob unicum peccatum quomodo ingrediatur eam plurimis obnoxius peccatis Since Adam was cast out of Paradise for one sin how shall he enter thereinto that is guilty of many sins But they think that there is no need of a Mediator who should expiate this sin or that should suffer death that man under his conduct might triumph over death being subdued and chained up They allow Christ to be the Son of Mary and because Children are denominated from their Fathers not from their Mothers they say we may learn from that denomination of him from his Mother that he was born without a Father according to that expression of the Evangelist 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 She brought forth her Son And to those eminent Prophesies Gen. 3.15 where he is called the Seed of the woman not of the man And Isa 7.14 where he is promised to be the Son of a Virgin And such a wonderful conception and birth they acknowledge this to be as never was granted unto any other Mother or Childe and therefore in their Exposition of the words which they say the Angel spake unto the Virgin O Maria Dius elegit te purificavit te elegit te supra mulieres omnis aevi c. O Mary God hath chosen thee and purified thee he hath chosen thee above the women of all Ages They interpret it thus He hath purified thee from impure works and from that of which the Jews accused thee he hath chosen thee above women of all ages in that he gave thee Jesus without a Father which happened not unto any other amongst women contrary to that wicked lie of the Jews in their Sepher Juchafin 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 when they say that in the reign of the Grecians and the time of the Tribes there was a famous wise man at Rome called Prometheuss who decreed that the Ring should be worn upon the fourth finger because the vain of the heart was in it and that he had a Son called Antaros who also was a man of excellent wisdom and that he had seven daughters whereof one was named Eschtoniphos who as the Gentiles report brought forth two sons Ephun and Schaltsebin and that she was a Virgin before and after her delivery 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and that was heard saith the Author Whereunto was added by the hand-writing of a certain Jew in the copy that was in Warnerus his hands 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as he relateth it is hard to the Christians being against their Religion who say this was a miracle in Mary the Mother of Jesus The Turks also say some of them that Mary conceived at the thirteenth year of her age others at the tenth and some say that she was delivered in the sixth moneth others in the seventh moneth others in the eighth moneth nec supervixit partus octavo mense editus praeterquam beatus Jesus and that never any birth brought forth in the eighth month lived but only the blessed Jesus They say also that he was brought forth under a Palm-tree and they further say That God created one without Father or Mother as Adam and brought forth one of a Mother without a Father as Jesus that Joseph having a suspition of her thought to have killed her that the Angel Gabriel interposed saying That she was with childe by the Holy Ghost and
