〈◊〉_d first_o of_o the_o sin_n of_o pride_n cap._n 14._o as_o the_o transgression_n and_o breach_n of_o those_o eight_o commandment_n former_o deliver_v in_o the_o turk_n law_n be_v hold_v by_o they_o to_o be_v mortal_a and_o subject_a to_o pain_n perpetual_a so_o there_o be_v seven_o other_o sin_n which_o the_o turk_n do_v hold_v to_o be_v capital_a and_o deadly_a and_o those_o be_v pride_n covetousness_n lust_n gluttony_n sloth_n or_o laziness_n wrath_n and_o enuy._n in_o the_o commit_n of_o all_o which_o sin_n they_o do_v think_v that_o there_o be_v such_o surpass_a great_a impiety_n that_o they_o do_v suppose_v it_o to_o exceed_v the_o guilt_n of_o all_o other_o manner_n of_o misdeed_n whatsoever_o for_o they_o do_v hold_v that_o all_o other_o offence_n be_v of_o a_o inferior_a

punishment_n of_o damnation_n and_o herein_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o do_v agree_v with_o the_o error_n of_o some_o christian_n who_o do_v imagine_v some_o sin_n in_o their_o own_o nature_n to_o be_v venial_a and_o othersome_a in_o their_o own_o kind_a to_o be_v deadly_a and_o not_o pardonable_a but_o that_o we_o may_v see_v what_o the_o turk_n do_v think_v of_o those_o sin_n in_o particular_a we_o will_v set_v down_o that_o which_o be_v write_v of_o they_o several_o in_o their_o alcoran_n man_n first_o this_o be_v a_o common_a say_n amongst_o all_o mahometist_n that_o pride_n of_o all_o

the_o forefront_n and_o have_v the_o chief_a place_n above_o other_o sin_n they_o show_v also_o how_o that_o lucifer_n for_o his_o pride_n be_v throw_v down_o from_o the_o glorious_a estate_n of_o a_o

all_o other_o creature_n in_o glory_n and_o beauty_n he_o become_v even_o in_o a_o moment_n a_o most_o vile_a and_o base_a abject_a full_a of_o loathsomnesse_n and_o deformity_n and_o much_o more_o

those_o proud_a and_o disdainful_a rich_a man_n who_o do_v not_o only_o not_o acknowledge_v that_o their_o wealth_n and_o riches_n come_v from_o god_n but_o when_o they_o be_v a_o little_a cross_v

for_o though_o the_o poor_a be_v expose_v in_o this_o world_n to_o the_o scorn_n and_o reproof_n of_o all_o man_n yet_o they_o hold_v they_o to_o be_v far_o more_o rich_a in_o the_o grace_n and_o
