much_o for_o that_o reason_n be_v of_o no_o weight_n it_o likewise_o show_v how_o muhamed_n disciple_n carry_v themselves_o after_o his_o death_n and_o what_o discord_n contest_v and_o murder_n be_v

have_v occasion_n or_o ground_n to_o wonder_n and_o much_o less_o the_o moor_n to_o presume_v i_o will_v lay_v down_o three_o cause_n whereby_o the_o sect_n of_o the_o moor_n have_v propagate_v and_o augment_v but_o not_o by_o any_o goodness_n in_o itself_o the_o first_o cause_n be_v that_o muhamed_a begin_v and_o institute_v this_o law_n or_o religion_n of_o the_o moor_n in_o a_o nation_n very_o rustic_a ignorant_a beastly_a and_o idolatrous_a be_v man_n void_a and_o destitute_a of_o all_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n for_o among_o that_o people_n be_v no_o logician_n astrologer_n philosopher_n nor_o physician_n but_o they_o be_v all_o earthly_a give_v to_o eat_v drink_v and_o luxury_n a_o ignorant_a and_o rude_a people_n as_o the_o alcoran_n call_v they_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n in_o arabic_a sufeha_n i_o e._n ignorant_a people_n the_o country_n likewise_o be_v full_a of_o idolater_n aswell_o in_o arabia_n the_o happy_a as_o in_o arabia_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 of_o the_o province_n where_o this_o tree_n be_v in_o muhamed_n time_n be_v call_v azamahinali_n other_o worship_v a_o great_a statue_n make_v of_o a_o black_a metal_n which_o be_v three_o fathom_n long_o this_o idol_n be_v call_v bohinum_fw-la and_o it_o be_v in_o the_o province_n of_o armenia_n the_o lord_n and_o captain_n of_o this_o idol_n in_o muhameds_n time_n be_v call_v alquazad_a other_o in_o armenia_n worship_v the_o sun_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o that_o people_n be_v call_v sanharben_n carquar_n they_o of_o mecca_n and_o the_o province_n adjacent_a worship_v alzete_a and_o alluza_n as_o we_o have_v say_v before_o so_o that_o muhamed_a begin_v his_o sect_n among_o the_o most_o blockish_a people_n in_o the_o world_n and_o unto_o these_o muhamed_a give_v to_o understand_v 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 earth_n and_o the_o water_n that_o cause_v rain_n to_o fall_v from_o heaven_n and_o fruit_n to_o proceed_v from_o the_o earth_n for_o man_n and_o beast_n that_o god_n who_o cause_v man_n to_o die_v and_o after_o death_n to_o rise_v again_o for_o to_o reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o desert_n with_o glory_n or_o punishment_n that_o god_n who_o create_v the_o paradise_n with_o so_o many_o excellent_a thing_n for_o the_o bless_a and_o that_o god_n who_o create_v hell_n with_o so_o many_o torment_n for_o the_o damn_a all_o which_o they_o of_o mecca_n and_o the_o other_o idolater_n deny_v and_o by_o his_o preach_v this_o aforesaid_a to_o they_o which_o be_v the_o content_n of_o half_a the_o alcoran_n diverse_o begin_v to_o believe_v in_o muhameds_n law_n or_o sect_n many_o likewise_o be_v induce_v to_o believe_v muhamed_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a boast_n and_o threaten_v which_o he_o use_v when_o he_o read_v the_o alcoran_n and_o the_o scroll_n of_o the_o punishment_n of_o their_o predecessor_n viz._n those_o who_o be_v drown_v in_o the_o world_n by_o the_o deluge_n and_o who_o escape_v in_o the_o ark_n of_o noah_n also_o the_o people_n of_o lot_n and_o of_o the_o five_o city_n which_o be_v very_o near_o unto_o mecca_n he_o also_o threaten_v and_o terrify_v they_o with_o the_o example_n of_o pharaoh_n people_n and_o the_o nine_o plague_n which_o god_n send_v upon_o they_o and_o tell_v they_o how_o they_o be_v swallow_v up_o in_o the_o sea_n because_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o moses_n he_o also_o terrify_v they_o with_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n and_o with_o the_o horror_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o write_v of_o hell_n which_o be_v obvious_a in_o divers_a chapter_n of_o the_o alcoran_n and_o thus_o they_o believe_v in_o muhamed_a and_o be_v persuade_v that_o he_o who_o create_v all_o thing_n and_o have_v power_n over_o all_o be_v the_o true_a god_n so_o that_o whereas_o muhamed_a convert_v they_o to_o his_o own_o opinion_n and_o make_v they_o know_v nine_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o those_o other_o thing_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n express_v in_o the_o precedent_a chapter_n if_o he_o have_v as_o well_o give_v they_o knowledge_n of_o the_o whole_a christian_a faith_n and_o have_v enjoin_v they_o to_o believe_v all_o the_o 12._o article_n and_o be_v baptize_v he_o have_v do_v very_o well_o and_o they_o have_v all_o be_v christian_n but_o he_o will_v not_o do_v so_o because_o he_o can_v not_o that_o way_n have_v make_v himself_o so_o great_a as_o he_o do_v the_o
