heaven_n and_o if_o they_o may_v find_v a_o book_n with_o gospel_n such_o as_o missus_fw-la est_fw-la angelus_n they_o do_v it_o great_a worship_n and_o they_o fast_o one_o month_n in_o the_o year_n and_o eat_v only_o a_o night_n and_o they_o keep_v they_o from_o their_o wife_n but_o they_o that_o be_v sick_a be_v not_o constrain_v to_o it_o and_o their_o book_n alcoran_n speak_v of_o jew_n and_o say_v they_o be_v wicked_a people_n for_o they_o will_v not_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v of_o god_n further_n they_o say_v that_o the_o jew_n speak_v false_o of_o our_o lady_n and_o her_o son_n jesus_n christ_n in_o say_v that_o they_o do_v not_o hang_v he_o on_o the_o cross._n their_o book_n alcoran_n forbid_v murder_n and_o theft_n and_o command_v they_o to_o do_v so_o to_o other_o as_o they_o will_v have_v other_o do_v to_o they_o for_o the_o saracen_n believe_v so_o near_o our_o naith_n that_o they_o be_v easy_o convert_v when_o man_n preach_v the_o law_n of_o jesus_n christ._n they_o say_v also_o that_o they_o know_v right_a well_o by_o their_o prophecy_n that_o their_o law_n of_o mahomet_n shall_v fail_v as_o the_o jew_n law_n do_v and_o that_o the_o law_n of_o christian_n shall_v last_v to_o the_o world_n end_n and_o if_o a_o man_n ask_v they_o wherein_o they_o believe_v they_o say_v that_o they_o believe_v in_o god_n almighty_a that_o be_v the_o maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n &_o all_o other_o thing_n and_o without_o he_o be_v nothing_o do_v and_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n every_o man_n shall_v be_v reward_v after_o his_o deserve_n and_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v truth_n that_o god_n speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o prophet_n chap._n xlv_o yet_o further_o concern_v mahomet_n also_o mahomet_n have_v write_v in_o his_o book_n alcoran_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v have_v two_o wife_n or_o three_o or_o four_o but_o now_o they_o have_v nine_o and_o as_o many_o leman_n as_o they_o like_v and_o it_o any_o of_o these_o wife_n do_v wrong_a to_o their_o husband_n he_o may_v drive_v she_o out_o of_o his_o house_n and_o take_v in_o another_o but_o he_o must_v give_v part_n of_o his_o good_n moreover_o where_o man_n speak_v of_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n they_o say_v that_o they_o be_v not_o three_o person_n but_o one_o god_n for_o their_o book_n alcoran_n speak_v not_o thereof_o nor_o of_o the_o trinity_n but_o they_o say_v that_o god_n speak_v or_o else_o he_o be_v dumb_a and_o that_o god_n have_v a_o ghost_n or_o else_o he_o be_v not_o alive_a they_o say_v god_n word_n have_v great_a strength_n and_o so_o say_v their_o alcoran_n and_o they_o say_v that_o abraham_n and_o moses_n be_v great_o in_o favour_n with_o god_n for_o they_o speak_v with_o he_o and_o mahomet_n be_v a_o true_a messenger_n of_o god_n and_o they_o have_v many_o good_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o some_o understand_v the_o scripture_n prophet_n gospel_n and_o the_o bible_n for_o they_o have_v they_o write_v in_o their_o language_n in_o their_o manner_n they_o know_v holy_a writ_n but_o they_o understand_v it_o but_o after_o the_o letter_n and_o so_o do_v the_o jew_n for_o they_o understand_v it_o not_o spiritual_o but_o after_o their_o letter_n and_o therefore_o say_v saint_n paul_n litera_fw-la occidit_fw-la spiritus_fw-la autem_fw-la vivificar_n that_o be_v the_o letter_n kill_v but_o the_o spirit_n quicken_v the_o saracen_n likewise_o say_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v wicked_a for_o they_o keep_v not_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n which_o he_o give_v they_o and_o also_o christian_n be_v evil_a for_o they_o keep_v not_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o jesus_n christ_n send_v unto_o they_o and_o further_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o what_o the_o sultan_n tell_v i_o upon_o &_o day_n in_o his_o chamber_n shut_v out_o all_o other_o man_n as_o lord_n knight_n and_o other_o for_o he_o will_v speak_v with_o i_o in_o counsel_n and_o then_o he_o ask_v i_o how_o christian_n govern_v themselves_o in_o our_o country_n i_o answer_v he_o and_o say_v right_o well_o thanks_o be_v to_o god_n but_o he_o say_v secret_o nay_o for_o he_o say_v that_o our_o priest_n make_v no_o force_n of_o god_n service_n for_o they_o shall_v give_v good_a example_n to_o man_n to_o do_v well_o and_o they_o give_v ill_a example_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o people_n shall_v go_v on_o the_o holy_a day_n to_o church_n to_o serve_v god_n they_o go_v to_o the_o tavern_n to_o sin_n in_o gluttony_n both_o day_n and_o night_n eat_v and_o drink_v as_o beast_n that_o wot_v not_o when_o they_o have_v enough_o he_o say_v also_o that_o there_o be_v much_o contention_n among_o christian_n and_o one_o will_v defraud_v another_o and_o they_o be_v so_o proud_a that_o they_o wist_v not_o how_o to_o clothe_v they_o now_o short_a now_o long_o now_o straight_o now_o wide_a and_o of_o all_o fashion_n whereas_o they_o shall_v be_v humble_a and_o meek_a give_v their_o alm_n as_o jesus_n christ_n do_v in_o who_o they_o believe_v he_o say_v also_o that_o they_o be_v so_o covetous_a that_o for_o a_o little_a money_n they_o will_v sell_v their_o child_n sister_n or_o wife_n one_o man_n take_v another_o man_n wife_n and_o no_o man_n keep_v his_o promise_n therefore_o say_v he_o for_o their_o sin_n have_v god_n give_v these_o land_n to_o our_o hand_n and_o not_o through_o our_o strength_n but_o all_o for_o your_o sin_n for_o we_o know_v certain_o that_o while_o you_o true_o serve_v god_n he_o will_v help_v you_o so_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v win_v of_o you_o if_o that_o you_o serve_v god_n as_o you_o ought_v to_o do_v but_o while_o you_o live_v so_o sinful_o as_o you_o do_v we_o have_v no_o dread_n of_o you_o for_o god_n will_v not_o help_v you_o and_o then_o i_o ask_v he_o how_o he_o know_v the_o state_n of_o christian_n in_o that_o manner_n and_o he_o say_v that_o he_o know_v well_o the_o state_n both_o of_o lord_n and_o of_o commons_o by_o his_o messenger_n which_o he_o send_v through_o all_o the_o country_n as_o it_o be_v merchant_n with_o precious_a stone_n and_o other_o merchandise_n to_o know_v the_o manner_n of_o every_o country_n and_o then_o he_o do_v call_v again_o all_o the_o lord_n into_o his_o chamber_n to_o we_o and_o then_o show_v he_o unto_o i_o three_o person_n that_o be_v great_a lord_n of_o that_o country_n who_o show_v unto_o i_o the_o manner_n of_o my_o country_n and_o of_o all_o christendom_n as_o though_o they_o have_v be_v man_n bear_v in_o the_o same_o part_n and_o they_o speak_v french_a right_o well_o and_o the_o sultan_n also_o and_o then_o i_o have_v great_a marbel_n of_o this_o slander_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o so_o they_o that_o shall_v be_v turn_v by_o our_o good_a example_n to_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o be_v draw_v away_o through_o our_o evil_a live_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o that_o they_o call_v we_o evil_n for_o they_o say_v truth_n but_o the_o saracen_n be_v true_a for_o they_o keep_v true_o the_o commandment_n of_o their_o alcoran_n chap._n xlvi_o of_o the_o birth_n of_o mahomet_n and_o you_o shall_v understand_v that_o mahomet_n be_v
