wherefore_o i_o pass_v on_o to_o their_o chaplet_n it_o be_v true_a as_o our_o author_n have_v observe_v that_o the_o grain_n of_o their_o chaplet_n be_v not_o unequal_a according_a to_o the_o

mind_n they_o have_v nevertheless_o some_o distinction_n in_o their_o chaplet_n that_o consist_v of_o a_o hundred_o bead_n for_o they_o divide_v they_o into_o three_o part_n and_o say_v at_o one_o of_o thou_o part_n 33_o time_n souban_n lallah_o that_o be_v god_n be_v praiseworthy_a upon_o the_o other_o elhamel_n allah_o glory_n to_o god_n and_o last_o upon_o the_o three_o allah_n lober_n god_n be_v great_a these_o three_o time_n 33_o make_v no_o more_o than_o fourscore_o and_o nineteen_o they_o have_v therefore_o add_v another_o prayer_n at_o the_o head_n of_o the_o chaplet_n for_o to_o make_v up_o the_o number_n a_o hundred_o it_o be_v in_o that_o their_o bead_n be_v a_o little_a like_a unto_o we_o for_o beside_o the_o crown_n or_o the_o round_a of_o their_o chaplet_n there_o be_v another_o thing_n about_o which_o make_v up_o the_o place_n of_o that_o in_o we_o which_o be_v call_v the_o cross_n of_o the_o chaplet_n that_o chaplet_n according_a to_o my_o judgement_n have_v take_v its_o original_n from_o mea_fw-la beracot_n or_o the_o hundred_o benediction_n which_o the_o jew_n be_v oblige_v to_o recite_v daily_o the_o jew_n and_o mahometan_n have_v this_o common_a that_o they_o almost_o do_v nothing_o without_o pronounce_v some_o praise_n or_o benediction_n but_o as_o the_o mahometan_n have_v reduce_v these_o hundred_o benediction_n into_o three_o sort_n of_o thanksgiving_n that_o have_v oblige_v they_o to_o divide_v that_o chaplet_n into_o three_o part_n as_o the_o christian_n have_v divide_v they_o into_o ten_o for_o to_o observe_v the_o manner_n of_o their_o pater_n and_o ave_n beside_o their_o recite_v of_o that_o chaplet_n in_o particular_a they_o have_v singing-man_n for_o to_o sing_v they_o aloud_o in_o their_o mosque_n when_o mahomet_n forbid_v the_o eat_n of_o pork_n he_o have_v no_o other_o design_n than_o that_o he_o may_v not_o separate_v the_o jew_n too_o far_o from_o his_o religion_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o mahometan_n who_o be_v half_a jew_n take_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o precaution_n that_o they_o eat_v no_o other_o animal_n who_o they_o esteem_v unclean_a the_o reason_n which_o our_o author_n

that_o his_o religion_n shall_v have_v that_o in_o common_a with_o the_o nazarean_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o to_o discover_v its_o perfection_n and_o beside_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o bring_v great_a order_n and_o utility_n to_o the_o state_n than_o his_o prohibition_n as_o the_o turk_n be_v more_o sober_a than_o we_o they_o submit_v themselves_o without_o difficulty_n to_o this_o rule_n they_o bring_v other_o reason_n for_o this_o injunction_n than_o that_o which_o our_o author_n produce_v but_o one_o ought_v not_o to_o rely_v upon_o all_o the_o history_n which_o the_o turk_n set_v forth_o for_o to_o illuminate_v and_o support_v the_o difficulty_n that_o be_v find_v in_o their_o religion_n for_o they_o make_v no_o scruple_n to_o invent_v they_o at_o their_o pleasure_n wherein_o they_o have_v imitate_v the_o jew_n who_o stuff_n their_o book_n with_o infinity_n of_o fable_n this_o vice_n be_v also_o common_a to_o all_o the_o christian_n of_o the_o levant_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o their_o book_n wherefore_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v cautious_a of_o they_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o turk_n have_v take_v their_o ablution_n from_o the_o jew_n for_o they_o

wash_v either_o their_o hand_n face_n or_o any_o other_o part_n of_o their_o body_n but_o nevertheless_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o have_v no_o set_a form_n of_o benediction_n as_o the_o jew_n have_v for_o i_o have_v read_v difference_n upon_o that_o subject_n they_o purify_v themselves_o always_o before_o prayer_n and_o it_o be_v for_o that_o reason_n that_o they_o then_o wash_v their_o hand_n
