up those that are in their Sepulchres and that they shall return like as God created them That he shall give a double reward unto the good Works of his faithful servants whose greatest sins he forgives if they repent but the lesser sins are pardoned for their care to avoid the greater But God doth not forgive those who make him to have Associates but he pardons whom he pleases who are not involved in the Sin of Association In perusal of this Article the term of Association and Associates I found to bear an abstruse meaning which had exceeded my comprehending till I found the Alcoran calling the Jews and Christians by the title of Associates because the former held that Ozair and the later that Messias was the Son of God And in another Chapter of the Alcoran Mahumed saith expresly That Cod doth not pardon him who makes him to have a Companion For those that do associate any thing unto God erre a damnable Errour And Mahumed saith that they are not to be interceded for And he brings Abraham in for an example who prayed not for his Father because he was an Idolater and therefore an Associant And I meet with a place cited out of the Sunè or Traditions of Mahumed which gives us herein no dark information and it it thus In the day of the Resurrection it shall be said to the Jews What have you Worshipped they shall answer We have Worshiped Ozair the Son of God and it shall be said unto them Ye do erre for God hath neither Son nor Companion but what is it that you desire they reply Something to drink it shall be said unto them Drink and fall headlong into Hell-fire After this it shall be said to the Christians What have ye worshipped they shall answer We have worshipped Messias the Son of God and to them it shall be said You speak lyes God hath no Son nor Society What is it you desire That you would give us drink it shall be returned Drink and go to Gehenna By this Tradition of the Sunè which is of equal authority with the Alcoran we are made to understand who those Associants are for whom there shall be no pardon in the day of doom But to proceed Those who have done so much good as equals in weight a grain of Barley or a Pismire or an Atom shall see it And he that has done so much evil shall also see it And that the Prophet Mahumed shall by his intercession deliver those of his Religion from Torments who have foully and grievously offended Concerning Paradise and Hell Under the name of Paradise they understand the place of the Blessed which God created and prepared to be the eternal mansion of his friends whom he will there honour with the beholding of his face And this Paradise the Mahumedans believe to be the same place out of which God cast Adam his Prophet and Vicar into the land which before he had designed in his fore-knowledge They believe also another state contrary to the former in which all those shall be cruciated that believe not in God and this they call by the name of Fire Concerning the certainty of the Resurrection and the manner of retributing works The high God at the day of the Resurrection shall come attended with Troops of Angels to take an account of the Nations the Scales shall be hung up and the deeds of Men shall be weighed and they shall be happy whose works are found weighty And then the Books of Works shall be brought and they who receive their Book in the right hand their account shall be easie but they to whom the Book is brought behind their back shall burn in Hell Concering Purgatory All Men are to pass the Zorat which signifies a certain infernal Bridge according to the disposition and nature of their works Those that shall be saved shall be known by this that they shall quickly and suddenly be delivered from the infernal fire or Purgatory but the rest according to the merit of their Works do perish there Concerning the Nature of the Mahumedique Faith The Musulmin are very metaphorical in expressing themselves in the description of their Faith which they call Mahumeds Pool whither his people are to come to drink and that whosoever drinks thereof shall not thirst but whosoever shall profane or change this Faith shall be forced and driven from it This Faith consists in the words of the Tongue sincerity of the heart and the outward demonstration of the work It increaseth by the increase of works and faileth through the defect of works increase and decrease happen to Faith Neither is the word of Faith perfected unless by works neither doth word or work avail any thing without intention and neither word nor work nor intention is of any efficacy without consent Of the state of Martyrs and of other Souls after this life when they are separate from their Bodies The Martyrs are not finally extinct but live with their Master by whom they are sustained where by Martyrs we are to understand all those who have died in Battel or otherwise for the defence or propagation of the Mahumedan Religion The Spirits or Souls of the Blessed do still remain and shall enjoy delights until that day in which their Bodies shall be raised but the wretched are tormented to the day of judgment God say the Musulmin shall establish in the life of this and the World to come those who believe They hold also that every Man has his Guardian Angel who appoints him his work and that nothing of his actions is hid from God They believe that the Angel whom they call the Angel of Death doth gather together the separate Spirits or Souls at the beck of the Lord. They have likewise a Tradition how the Angel of Death doth beat the dead carkass in its grave and they seem to borrow this Fable from that of the Jews which Buxt takes notice of Synag Jud. cap. 35. After the Arabian Author out of whom these things are related had set down these Contents of Mahumedism he concludes all with a large Encomium of Mahumed and of their happiness who lived in his time as also of the Empire of his Successors Abubecer Omar Osman Ali adding that none ought ever to mention them but with signal reverence Gabriel Sionita in his 14 Chapter de Urbib Morib Oriental gives us another account of Mahumedism out of Jacob Ben Sidi Ali an Arabian Author which being not voluminous I have thought good here to insert The Worship and Religion of the Musulmin consists in this That they belileve all the discourses which the Arch-Angel Gabriel had with Mahumed concerning the things that are to be believed and done of which these are the summ viz. That the Musulmin believe in one God and that there is none other like him That they believe the Angels to be the Servants of God That they believe the Scriptures which were sent to the Apostles which
