god_n psal._n 115._o 115._o it_o be_v true_a of_o all_o other_o god_n they_o be_v dead_a vanity_n they_o be_v idol_n and_o have_v no_o life_n in_o they_o only_a god_n be_v live_v he_o only_o have_v life_n in_o himself_o and_o give_v life_n to_o all_o other_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o there_o be_v none_o other_o god_n beside_o he_o particular_o now_o we_o come_v to_o particular_n as_o take_v all_o the_o religion_n that_o ever_o have_v be_v in_o the_o world_n beside_o that_o which_o we_o profess_v take_v all_o the_o god_n that_o have_v be_v set_v up_o by_o other_o they_o be_v divide_v into_o two_o time_n false_a either_o before_o or_o since_o christ_n before_o and_o they_o be_v either_o those_o god_n that_o be_v worship_v by_o the_o grecian_n and_o the_o roman_n the_o wise_a of_o the_o heathen_n or_o else_o those_o that_o be_v worship_v by_o the_o barbarian_n now_o they_o worship_v the_o sun_n and_o moon_n and_o fourfooted_a beast_n rom._n 1._o 1._o if_o there_o be_v question_n of_o any_o it_o be_v of_o those_o among_o the_o roman_n such_o as_o be_v saturn_n and_o jupiter_n and_o inno_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v now_o altogether_o explode_v and_o there_o be_v enough_o say_v against_o they_o even_o by_o their_o own_o writer_n as_o 1_o they_o be_v man_n and_o therefore_o not_o god_n man_n this_o be_v the_o argument_n that_o tertullian_n and_o justin_n martyr_v use_v to_o convince_v those_o among_o who_o they_o live_v that_o juno_n jupiter_n neptune_n etc._n etc._n be_v saturn_n offspring_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v man_n and_o if_o man_n then_o bear_v of_o man_n and_o their_o genealogy_n be_v record_v by_o their_o own_o writer_n 2_o and_o as_o they_o be_v man_n man_n so_o they_o be_v the_o worst_a of_o man_n give_v to_o the_o gross_a vice_n as_o adultery_n theft_n murder_n etc._n etc._n object_n and_o if_o it_o be_v object_v as_o it_o be_v to_o lactantius_n that_o these_o be_v only_a fiction_n of_o poet_n answ._n i_o answer_v that_o the_o poet_n be_v their_o prophet_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v one_o of_o your_o prophet_n say_v so_o and_o they_o do_v but_o give_v light_a to_o the_o picture_n and_o all_o their_o own_o writer_n agree_v as_o cicero_n and_o varro_n that_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o those_o vice_n that_o we_o name_v 3_o they_o do_v die_v and_o therefore_o be_v not_o god_n die_v and_o therefore_o they_o will_v in_o one_o place_n show_v you_o a_o sepulchre_n and_o in_o another_o place_n a_o temple_n erect_v to_o the_o same_o god_n which_o be_v a_o extreme_a contradiction_n yet_o this_o be_v acknowledge_v even_o by_o they_o that_o worship_v they_o and_o as_o for_o tully_n we_o can_v have_v more_o against_o he_o than_o he_o himself_o confess_v in_o his_o tractate_n de_fw-fr naturâ_fw-la deorum_fw-la as_o one_o say_v re_fw-mi tollit_fw-la deos_fw-la sed_fw-la oratione_fw-la reliquit_fw-la he_o take_v away_o their_o god_n in_o deed_n though_o not_o in_o word_n and_o himself_o say_v utinam_fw-la tam_fw-la facile_fw-la veram_fw-la religionem_fw-la invenire_fw-la possim_fw-la quam_fw-la falsam_fw-la convincere_fw-la i_o will_v i_o can_v as_o well_o find_v out_o the_o truth_n of_o true_a religion_n as_o the_o falseness_n of_o the_o other_o all_o which_o be_v dispute_v at_o large_a by_o tertullian_n and_o augustine_n de_fw-fr civitate_fw-la dei_fw-la and_o clemens_n alexandrinus_n who_o live_v in_o those_o day_n which_o we_o speak_v the_o more_o of_o because_o it_o be_v that_o which_o do_v spread_v itself_o even_o over_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o many_o age_n together_o and_o as_o for_o the_o god_n that_o be_v worship_v by_o the_o chaldaean_n and_o the_o syrian_n as_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n they_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o name_n there_o be_v another_o religion_n that_o be_v grow_v up_o since_o christ_n the_o religion_n of_o mahomet_n false_a which_o have_v spread_v over_o the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o world_n for_o if_o that_o computation_n be_v true_a that_o be_v late_o give_v they_o have_v fourteen_o time_n as_o much_o as_o any_o other_o have_v and_o they_o arise_v about_o six_o hundred_o year_n after_o christ_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v continue_v a_o long_a time_n i_o speak_v not_o this_o because_o i_o think_v that_o any_o here_o have_v need_v to_o be_v dissuade_v from_o it_o but_o to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o veri-similitude_n of_o it_o but_o that_o god_n be_v always_o god_n alone_o therefore_o against_o it_o i_o will_v use_v four_o argument_n 1_o mahomet_n do_v full_o acknowledge_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o of_o the_o new_a yet_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o deliver_v be_v contrary_a to_o both_o both_o which_o confirm_v our_o religion_n and_o show_v the_o falseness_n of_o they_o for_o he_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o moses_n receive_v the_o old_a testament_n from_o god_n and_o so_o do_v the_o prophet_n and_o he_o repeat_v most_o of_o the_o story_n he_o acknowledge_v the_o creation_n of_o adam_n and_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n and_o the_o whole_a story_n of_o abraham_n and_o his_o call_n and_o the_o offering_n of_o his_o son_n isaac_n and_o also_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o whole_a history_n of_o moses_n how_o god_n appear_v to_o he_o and_o how_o he_o go_v into_o egypt_n and_o of_o the_o ten_o plague_n that_o he_o send_v upon_o the_o egyptian_n and_o the_o wonder_n that_o he_o wrought_v go_v down_o into_o canaan_n and_o so_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n name_v the_o book_n of_o psalm_n and_o quote_v thing_n out_o of_o it_o and_o of_o deuteronomy_n acknowledge_v many_o of_o the_o prophet_n as_o eliah_n samuel_n job_n and_o jonah_n and_o he_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v many_o more_o which_o he_o do_v not_o name_n and_o so_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o new_a testament_n likewise_o he_o acknowledge_v that_o christ_n be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n and_o that_o by_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n without_o man_n that_o he_o heal_v disease_n and_o that_o he_o receive_v the_o gospel_n from_o god_n himself_o and_o that_o god_n give_v power_n to_o he_o more_o than_o to_o all_o the_o prophet_n that_o be_v before_o he_o and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o word_n and_o power_n of_o god_n and_o that_o all_o that_o do_v believe_v in_o he_o shall_v be_v be_v save_v and_o they_o shall_v follow_v he_o in_o white_a garment_n and_o that_o he_o which_o believe_v it_o not_o shall_v be_v damn_v and_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o new_a testament_n to_o bear_v witness_n to_o the_o old_a and_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o resurrection_n the_o come_n of_o john_n baptist_n and_o he_o speak_v very_o honourable_o of_o christ_n except_o only_o in_o two_o thing_n 1_o he_o take_v up_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o arrian_n to_o deny_v his_o divinity_n 2_o and_o also_o he_o deny_v that_o he_o be_v crucify_v but_o that_o some_o body_n be_v crucify_v for_o he_o he_o bring_v in_o a_o new_a religion_n and_o yet_o he_o profess_v that_o he_o have_v no_o miracle_n or_o prediction_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v now_o when_o religion_n be_v not_o confirm_v by_o miracle_n it_o or_o prediction_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v or_o holiness_n of_o life_n it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o there_o be_v no_o truth_n in_o it_o we_o may_v perceive_v it_o by_o the_o write_n of_o the_o alcoran_n it_o be_v so_o barbarous_a that_o there_o be_v no_o sense_n in_o it_o sense_n and_o they_o say_v that_o he_o can_v neither_o write_v nor_o read_v and_o so_o the_o writing_n show_v that_o it_o be_v by_o one_o that_o be_v a_o ignorant_a man_n that_o have_v no_o skill_n and_o those_o story_n that_o be_v allege_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n have_v much_o falsehood_n mix_v with_o they_o which_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o never_o read_v they_o himself_o but_o that_o he_o have_v they_o by_o relation_n but_o only_o he_o speak_v to_o a_o very_a ignorant_a people_n they_o receive_v it_o of_o he_o and_o have_v enlarge_v themselves_o by_o the_o sword_n and_o so_o they_o continue_v to_o this_o day_n the_o impurity_n of_o his_o doctrine_n he_o cut_v off_o what_o be_v hard_a to_o be_v believe_v life_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v difficult_a to_o practice_v and_o he_o propound_v that_o to_o the_o people_n wherein_o there_o be_v no_o hardness_n no_o difficulty_n promise_v they_o a_o paradise_n wherein_o they_o shall_v have_v all_o pleasure_n and_o shall_v enjoy_v woman_n and_o also_o they_o shall_v have_v meat_n drink_n apparel_n and_o fruit_n of_o all_o sort_n as_o also_o they_o shall_v have_v silken_a and_o purple_a carpet_n to_o lie_v upon_o etc._n etc._n and_o also_o he_o profess_v that_o he_o have_v a_o licence_n give_v he_o from_o god_n to_o know_v what_o woman_n he_o will_v and_o to_o put_v they_o away_o when_o he_o will_v which_o licence_n be_v give_v to_o he_o and_o to_o
