that_o god_n love_v muhame_v exceed_o see_v he_o always_o send_v he_o verse_n and_o chapter_n for_o every_o purpose_n and_o according_a to_o his_o own_o desire_n and_o this_o appear_v to_o be_v true_a by_o another_o most_o shameful_a and_o scandalous_a act_n which_o muhamed_a do_v upon_o which_o he_o compose_v almost_o a_o whole_a chapter_n for_o to_o satisfy_v his_o desire_n and_o to_o repair_v his_o honour_n give_v out_o that_o god_n send_v this_o chapter_n to_o he_o and_o the_o moor_n for_o to_o give_v they_o a_o new_a general_a law_n which_o law_n much_o please_v the_o moor_n then_o live_v those_o which_o follow_v and_o those_o now_o live_v as_o will_v here_o under_o appear_v for_o you_o must_v know_v that_o a_o certain_a king_n of_o the_o jacobite_v call_v baheira_n present_v to_o muhamed_a a_o very_a beautiful_a maiden_n be_v a_o jewesse_n call_v marine_n of_o 15._o year_n of_o age_n with_o who_o muhamed_a fell_a in_o love_n and_o seek_v opportunity_n to_o lie_v with_o she_o which_o at_o last_o he_o do_v with_o this_o lass_n be_v muhame_v take_v and_o surprise_v by_o two_o of_o his_o wife_n who_o he_o best_o love_v and_o be_v the_o most_o noble_a and_o principal_a of_o they_o all_o whereof_o the_o one_o be_v call_v axa_fw-la the_o daughter_n of_o ubequar_fw-la and_o the_o other_o be_v call_v hafeza_n the_o daughter_n of_o homar_n and_o be_v thus_o by_o they_o surprise_v with_o the_o say_v young_a girl_n they_o reprove_v muhamed_a tell_v he_o that_o he_o have_v do_v a_o thing_n unworthy_a a_o prophet_n or_o a_o marry_a man_n and_o have_v commit_v adultery_n against_o all_o his_o wife_n whereupon_o muhamed_a seek_v reconciliation_n and_o tell_v they_o that_o if_o they_o will_v keep_v it_o secret_n he_o will_v swear_v to_o they_o by_o god_n never_o to_o do_v the_o like_a with_o the_o say_v marine_n again_o and_o so_o they_o be_v persuade_v to_o keep_v the_o thing_n secret_a but_o nevertheless_o like_o discreet_a woman_n they_o tell_v he_o that_o if_o he_o come_v again_o to_o the_o say_v marine_n it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o repudiate_v he_o and_o be_v divorce_v from_o he_o so_o that_o what_o muhamed_a have_v do_v do_v hereupon_o remain_v secret_a certain_a day_n but_o nevertheless_o the_o affection_n and_o love_n which_o muhamed_a bear_v to_o this_o young_a lass_n and_o the_o jealousy_n and_o diligence_n of_o his_o two_o wife_n be_v so_o great_a that_o at_o last_o they_o take_v he_o again_o with_o the_o young_a wench_n and_o hereupon_o be_v much_o enrage_v they_o go_v to_o their_o father_n house_n as_o repudiate_v wife_n upon_o which_o occasion_n the_o secret_a be_v publish_v and_o muhamed_a disgrace_v and_o the_o people_n be_v much_o offend_v murmur_v and_o speak_v a_o thousand_o blasphemy_n whereupon_o muhamed_a be_v much_o cast_v down_o &_o confound_v aswell_o for_o the_o disgrace_n and_o divulge_v of_o the_o secret_a as_o for_o his_o two_o wife_n who_o be_v the_o most_o dear_o value_v and_o noble_a that_o he_o have_v and_o for_o these_o reason_n muhamed_a be_v quite_o dash_v out_o of_o countenance_n but_o be_v a_o very_a subtle_a and_o crafty_a man_n he_o have_v present_o recourse_n to_o the_o remedy_n of_o the_o alcoran_n unto_o which_o he_o compose_v a_o chapter_n and_o make_v a_o new_a law_n for_o all_o the_o moor_n that_o they_o may_v lie_v with_o their_o slave_n with_o as_o much_o freedom_n as_o with_o their_o wife_n notwithstanding_o that_o their_o wife_n be_v angry_a and_o repine_v at_o it_o as_o his_o wife_n have_v do_v the_o which_o law_n he_o put_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o chapter_n thereby_o to_o gain_v the_o favour_n of_o all_o the_o moor_n and_o in_o the_o say_a chapter_n be_v set_v down_o how_o muhamed_a be_v excuse_v and_o do_v not_o sin_n and_o that_o his_o wife_n ought_v not_o to_o publish_v any_o thing_n which_o he_o do_v in_o secret_a and_o that_o god_n warn_v his_o wife_n to_o return_v to_o he_o and_o thus_o muhamed_a clear_v himself_o and_o repair_v his_o credit_n and_o get_v his_o two_o wife_n again_o who_o be_v thereupon_o satisfy_v and_o become_v conformable_a and_o return_v very_o penitent_a to_o muhamed_a and_o so_o muhamed_a lay_n with_o his_o slave_n the_o young_a girl_n by_o authority_n of_o the_o law_n which_o he_o insert_v in_o the_o say_a chapter_n whereupon_o all_o his_o wife_n say_v that_o he_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o please_v like_a god_n and_o that_o god_n send_v he_o chapter_n and_o verse_n purposely_o to_o satisfy_v his_o will_n the_o chapter_n which_o muhame_v make_v and_o compose_v upon_o the_o aforesaid_a occasion_n be_v call_v the_o chapter_n of_o prohibition_n in_o the_o four_o book_n and_o say_v in_o arabic_a thus_o oya_n ayve_v etc._n etc._n which_o signify_v o_o prophet_n because_o that_o to_o content_v thy_o wife_n thou_o will_v prohibit_v what_o be_v lawful_a for_o thou_o therefore_o know_v that_o god_n permit_v you_o moor_n freedom_n to_o lie_v with_o your_o slave_n which_o be_v not_o permit_v from_o the_o beginning_n and_o so_o the_o chapter_n proceed_v and_o say_v thus_o and_o when_o the_o prophet_n commit_v a_o secret_a to_o any_o of_o his_o wife_n which_o they_o publish_v if_o you_o wife_n will_v repent_v before_o god_n good_a will_v betide_v you_o but_o if_o you_o will_v remain_v repudiate_v from_o muhamed_a his_o creator_n will_v give_v he_o other_o wife_n moor_n believer_n devout_a virgin_n and_o widow_n all_o this_o the_o say_a chapter_n contain_v verbatim_o so_o that_o when_o muhamed_a have_v cause_v the_o chapter_n to_o be_v write_v by_o his_o secretary_n in_o a_o table-book_n or_o scroll_n he_o make_v he_o to_o read_v it_o to_o the_o moor_n and_o when_o the_o moor_n hear_v it_o and_o read_v it_o they_o be_v much_o please_v with_o such_o a_o law_n whereby_o they_o may_v lie_v with_o their_o slave_n and_o upon_o the_o give_n of_o this_o law_n and_o capter_n they_o be_v reconcile_v to_o he_o and_o favour_v he_o so_o much_o that_o they_o all_o go_v and_o exclaim_v against_o his_o wife_n and_o tell_v they_o that_o god_n threaten_v they_o if_o they_o will_v not_o return_v to_o he_o insomuch_o that_o their_o parent_n go_v to_o muhamed_a to_o entreat_v he_o to_o receive_v they_o again_o because_o they_o desire_v no_o man_n but_o himself_o and_o so_o with_o this_o law_n and_o chapter_n all_o thing_n be_v in_o peace_n now_o speak_v o_o moor_n and_o consider_v that_o muhamed_a be_v not_o blameless_a in_o his_o action_n although_o the_o say_a chapter_n do_v much_o favour_v he_o for_o although_o in_o this_o chapter_n he_o permit_v the_o moor_n to_o lie_v with_o their_o slave_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v but_o that_o muhamed_a commit_v adultery_n because_o the_o chapter_n be_v publish_v and_o the_o law_n give_v to_o the_o moor_n after_o muhamed_a have_v know_v the_o slave_n and_o have_v be_v twice_o take_v with_o she_o and_o beside_o that_o chapter_n do_v not_o acquit_v muhamed_a from_o the_o guilt_n of_o perjury_n because_o he_o swear_v and_o engage_v his_o faith_n to_o his_o wife_n that_o he_o will_v never_o touch_v the_o say_v young_a wench_n again_o so_o that_o although_o the_o chapter_n do_v favour_n muhamed_a and_o the_o moor_n be_v please_v with_o the_o chapter_n and_o the_o loose_a liberty_n which_o they_o get_v thereby_o nevertheless_o o_o moor_n thou_o must_v confess_v that_o muhamed_a be_v

and_o most_o choice_a creature_n that_o god_n ever_o create_v as_o he_o call_v himself_o and_o as_o you_o say_v in_o arabic_a o_o muhamed_a hayri_fw-la halquilleh_fw-it i._n e._n that_o muhamed_a be_v

o_o moor_n i_o desire_v thou_o to_o observe_v and_o consider_v hitherto_o what_o work_v and_o action_n the_o alcoran_n and_o the_o suné_n be_v full_a of_o and_o compare_v they_o with_o the_o work_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
