great_a a_o difference_n may_v easy_o be_v seduce_v and_o persuade_v beside_o the_o turk_n will_v not_o allow_v neither_o to_o jew_n moor_n nor_o christian_n nay_o not_o to_o their_o own_o nation_n to_o say_v any_o thing_n ill_a of_o christ_n nor_o to_o curse_v he_o but_o if_o any_o body_n shall_v presume_v to_o do_v it_o the_o sole_n of_o his_o foot_n be_v strike_v very_o severe_o with_o many_o blow_n and_o he_o be_v fine_v beside_o according_a to_o his_o ability_n so_o their_o prophet_n mahomet_n commend_v the_o holy_a scripture_n very_o much_o and_o say_v that_o it_o contain_v truth_n and_o happiness_n if_o they_o will_v but_o often_o look_v into_o it_o as_o their_o alcocan_n teach_v they_o in_o several_a place_n to_o read_v in_o it_o and_o mend_v their_o life_n according_a to_o it_o they_o may_v easy_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o right_a way_n again_o but_o he_o himself_o do_v not_o stand_v by_o his_o word_n but_o fall_v off_o again_o from_o they_o afterward_o and_o speak_v quite_o otherways_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o that_o so_o differ_v that_o he_o quite_o contradict_v himself_o for_o as_o he_o do_v commend_v it_o before_o so_o now_o he_o discommend_v it_o again_o when_o he_o say_v that_o it_o have_v be_v because_o it_o be_v too_o difficult_a to_o be_v keep_v long_o since_o quit_v out_o of_o door_n chief_o in_o those_o part_n where_o be_v write_v that_o we_o must_v do_v good_a to_o our_o enemy_n leave_v all_o for_o his_o sake_n love_v god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n etc._n etc._n and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o our_o own_o self_n and_o that_o therefore_o he_o mahomet_n be_v peculiarly_a and_o purposely_o choose_v by_o god_n almighty_a to_o bring_v down_o with_o he_o the_o alcoran_n and_o communicate_v it_o to_o the_o world_n that_o be_v then_o drown_v in_o lust_n sin_n and_o vice_n to_o reform_v and_o bring_v it_o to_o right_n again_o beside_o this_o he_o know_v very_o well_o how_o to_o disguise_v his_o trick_n and_o how_o to_o behave_v himself_o in_o his_o life_n and_o conversation_n devout_o and_o discreet_o towards_o the_o people_n and_o how_o to_o blind_v they_o under_o this_o pretence_n that_o they_o do_v believe_v he_o and_o receive_v he_o the_o soon_o to_o be_v a_o great_a prophet_n and_o messenger_n from_o god_n when_o he_o find_v that_o he_o have_v get_v a_o good_a party_n and_o a_o great_a many_o adherent_n that_o impower_v he_o he_o study_v daily_o more_o and_o more_o to_o order_v his_o law_n so_o that_o they_o may_v be_v acceptable_a and_o please_a to_o all_o the_o world_n and_o thus_o he_o get_v in_o a_o great_a many_o place_n such_o a_o fame_n that_o to_o our_o grief_n in_o these_o time_n he_o have_v seduce_v and_o possess_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n with_o his_o erroneous_a and_o poisonous_a doctrine_n the_o turk_n close_o adhere_v to_o this_o doctrine_n therefore_o their_o heart_n be_v so_o blind_v with_o darkness_n that_o they_o can_v have_v any_o true_a knowledge_n either_o of_o god_n the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n or_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o they_o miss_v of_o the_o right_a way_n that_o will_v bring_v they_o to_o the_o knowledge_n and_o acknowledgement_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o consequent_o to_o the_o remission_n thereof_o and_o so_o make_v they_o child_n of_o god_n and_o heir_n of_o life_n everlasting_a but_o on_o the_o contrary_a they_o remain_v impenitent_a and_o persist_v in_o their_o sinful_a life_n with_o such_o a_o confidence_n and_o security_n that_o they_o know_v not_o when_o they_o commit_v sin_n as_o to_o take_v a_o man_n property_n and_o good_n away_o by_o force_n to_o destroy_v his_o house_n and_o land_n to_o undermine_v his_o life_n and_o livelihood_n and_o also_o to_o contaminate_v themselves_o with_o uncleanness_n whoredom_n sodomy_n not_o to_o keep_v a_o oath_n that_o have_v be_v take_v to_o revenge_n themselves_o from_o whence_o result_v envy_n hatred_n anger_n contention_n murder_n etc._n etc._n as_o we_o hear_v what_o injustice_n and_o violence_n the_o grand_a signior_n commit_v daily_o upon_o our_o brethren_n and_o sister_n that_o border_n upon_o his_o dominion_n which_o we_o need_v not_o to_o wonder_v at_o because_o if_o they_o fall_v out_o among_o themselves_o they_o try_v all_o unjust_a mean_n to_o revenge_n themselves_o wherefore_o they_o accuse_v their_o adversary_n often_o false_o because_o they_o dare_v not_o offer_v any_o violence_n before_o their_o judge_n and_o so_o bring_v they_o to_o damage_n trouble_v and_o pain_n but_o when_o they_o have_v commit_v one_o of_o these_o or_o the_o like_a

conversation_n and_o be_v very_o diligent_a in_o their_o devotion_n chief_o in_o go_v to_o their_o prayer_n at_o the_o five_o customary_a hour_n of_o the_o day_n when_o they_o leave_v their_o work_n and_o go_v to_o church_n and_o see_v that_o in_o these_o country_n they_o have_v neither_o clock_n not_o watch_n to_o tell_v they_o the_o time_n of_o the_o day_n and_o prayer_n instead_o of_o they_o they_o have_v their_o priest_n call_v meitzen_n by_o they_o on_o the_o steeple_n which_o be_v order_v to_o cry_v out_o the_o hour_n with_o a_o loud_a voice_n that_o you_o may_v hear_v they_o as_o far_o almost_o as_o the_o ring_n of_o a_o bell_n even_o throughout_o the_o whole_a town_n the_o first_o hour_n of_o prayer_n be_v a_o hour_n and_o half_a before_o daylight_n the_o second_o be_v about_o noon_n the_o three_o which_o the_o arabian_n call_v latzera_n be_v about_o three_o a_o clock_n in_o the_o afternoon_n the_o four_o be_v at_o sunset_n and_o the_o five_o when_o after_o the_o

great_a town_n and_o they_o sing_v almost_o as_o with_o we_o they_o sing_v a_o ballad_n so_o that_o while_o the_o one_o be_v sing_v the_o other_o may_v fetch_v his_o breath_n and_o so_o they_o sing_v by_o turn_n until_o the_o song_n be_v at_o a_o end_n when_o i_o come_v first_o into_o these_o country_n and_o hear_v they_o sing_v about_o that_o time_n in_o the_o morning_n i_o believe_v the_o turk_n do_v it_o that_o they_o may_v brisk_a themselves_o up_o to_o go_v to_o work_n until_o i_o hear_v they_o do_v the_o same_o at_o other_o hour_n in_o the_o day_n time_n and_o understand_v they_o be_v their_o priest_n so_o they_o sing_v about_o five_o a_o clock_n at_o night_n very_o well_o and_o sometime_o something_o long_o because_o of_o the_o sick_a that_o live_v near_o which_o desire_v it_o of_o they_o to_o make_v they_o cheerful_a and_o to_o have_v a_o good_a heart_n which_o we_o need_v not_o to_o wonder_v at_o for_o their_o clergy_n which_o be_v not_o wise_a or_o more_o learned_a than_o the_o layman_n know_v not_o how_o to_o comfort_v they_o or_o to_o make_v they_o joyful_a much_o less_o how_o to_o give_v good_a and_o wholesome_a instruction_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n although_o they_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v true_a how_o to_o obtain_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o god_n mercy_n love_n or_o commiseration_n but_o think_v it_o to_o be_v sufficient_a if_o they_o admonish_v they_o that_o lie_v a_o die_a to_o think_v of_o god_n and_o to_o pray_v to_o he_o that_o he_o may_v have_v mercy_n upon_o they_o and_o afterward_o to_o wash_v their_o body_n to_o cleanse_v they_o quite_o from_o all_o sin_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o their_o mahomet_n which_o they_o high_o esteem_v and_o that_o the_o rather_o because_o they_o serve_v not_o only_o the_o live_n but_o also_o the_o dead_a wherefore_o the_o turk_n wash_v themselves_o daily_o chief_o at_o the_o hour_n of_o their_o prayer_n when_o they_o be_v a_o go_v to_o church_n and_o that_o very_o
