of_o the_o same_o essence_n with_o his_o father_n that_o the_o mahometan_a religion_n be_v preferable_a to_o the_o christian_a and_o mahomet_n be_v a_o great_a prophet_n than_o christ_n second_o

religion_n be_v preferable_a to_o the_o christian_a and_o mahomet_n be_v a_o great_a prophet_n than_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o the_o christian_a religion_n bring_v in_o idolatry_n and_o the_o mahometan_a abolish_v it_o for_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o creature_n only_o as_o he_o must_v be_v if_o he_o be_v not_o of_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n than_o that_o

the_o mahometan_a religion_n be_v the_o best_a for_o that_o exalt_v god_n in_o the_o throne_n and_o put_v jesus_n christ_n in_o his_o due_a place_n viz._n in_o the_o rank_n of_o creature_n only_o whereas_o the_o christian_a religion_n do_v the_o direct_a contrary_n as_o will_v be_v prove_v in_o the_o follow_a discourse_n objection_n it_o be_v object_v his_o religion_n be_v full_a of_o

and_o how_o can_v it_o be_v suppose_v so_o great_a a_o thing_n shall_v be_v do_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o devil_n it_o be_v a_o rule_n christ_n give_v in_o his_o gospel_n to_o know_v teacher_n

of_o god_n for_o he_o have_v teach_v man_n not_o to_o confound_v the_o sovereign_n be_v with_o a_o creature_n and_o have_v deliver_v many_o nation_n for_o many_o age_n from_o this_o idolatry_n and_o what_o be_v great_a and_o more_o holy_a than_o such_o a_o design_n what_o can_v bespeak_v a_o man_n more_o inspire_v of_o god_n than_o to_o undertake_v and_o be_v so_o successful_a in_o such_o a_o work_n to_o disperse_v the_o darkness_n of_o this_o profound_a superstition_n from_o so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o the_o universe_n sure_o if_o this_o be_v true_a as_o they_o must_v acknowledge_v he_o be_v a_o very_a great_a prophet_n and_o all_o that_o he_o teach_v aught_o to_o be_v own_v as_o divine_a yea_o hence_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o he_o be_v a_o great_a prophet_n than_o all_o the_o prophet_n under_o the_o law_n yea_o that_o he_o be_v preferable_a to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o prophet_n under_o the_o law_n they_o speak_v only_o to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n but_o mahomet_n have_v speak_v to_o the_o most_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o universe_n they_o succeed_v one_o another_o because_o they_o can_v not_o live_v long_o enough_o to_o instruct_v the_o people_n in_o different_a age_n he_o need_v no_o companion_n nor_o any_o successor_n to_o banish_v idolatry_n the_o ancient_a prophet_n work_v many_o miracle_n to_o ruin_v idolatry_n but_o mahomet_n have_v ruin_v it_o without_o a_o miracle_n yea_o if_o that_o principle_n be_v true_a that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o man_n mahomet_n be_v preferable_a to_o christ_n himself_o which_o will_v appear_v if_o you_o consider_v either_o his_o doctrine_n or_o the_o success_n of_o his_o ministry_n if_o you_o consider_v the_o latter_a jesus_n christ_n have_v spread_v his_o doctrine_n in_o the_o universe_n but_o it_o have_v have_v no_o other_o effect_n than_o to_o pull_v down_o one_o piece_n of_o superstition_n and_o to_o set_v up_o another_o in_o its_o place_n to_o pull_v down_o pagan_a idolatry_n and_o to_o set_v up_o christian_a idolatry_n for_o the_o same_o gospel_n as_o forbid_v they_o to_o worship_v pagan_a idol_n teach_v they_o to_o worship_n jesus_n christ_n but_o mahomet_n have_v establish_v his_o religion_n upon_o firm_a foundation_n and_o have_v take_v far_o wise_a method_n that_o idolatry_n shall_v not_o return_v after_o it_o be_v once_o destroy_v and_o if_o we_o consider_v his_o doctrine_n if_o christ_n be_v not_o god_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o vast_a disadvantage_n to_o mahomet_n the_o doctrine_n of_o mahomet_n have_v a_o natural_a character_n which_o be_v oppose_v to_o idolatry_n and_o it_o be_v not_o so_o of_o jesus_n christ_n if_o you_o consider_v his_o language_n speak_v by_o himself_o or_o his_o apostle_n we_o shall_v compare_v the_o language_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o mahomet_n together_o and_o it_o will_v plain_o appear_v upon_o this_o supposition_n that_o mahomet_n be_v much_o wise_a and_o better_a than_o jesus_n christ_n christ_n tell_v we_o by_o himself_o and_o servant_n that_o he_o be_v before_o john_n baptist_n that_o he_o be_v before_o abraham_n before_o the_o make_n of_o the_o world_n that_o he_o be_v alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o beginning_n and_o the_o end_v the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o begin_n with_o god_n that_o he_o be_v god_n in_o the_o

and_o the_o heaven_n be_v the_o work_n of_o his_o hand_n and_o that_o none_o may_v doubt_v of_o the_o sense_n in_o which_o these_o expression_n be_v use_v he_o and_o his_o disciple_n which_o be_v inspire_v by_o his_o spirit_n do_v apply_v to_o he_o such_o scripture_n of_o the_o prophet_n which_o be_v only_o applicable_a to_o the_o most_o high_a god_n 8.39_o 1_o king_n 8.39_o the_o prophet_n

of_o you_o according_a to_o your_o work_n it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o law_n 6._o deut._n 6._o according_a to_o the_o exposition_n of_o christ_n 4.10_o mat._n 4.10_o thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o

christ_n be_v not_o god_n mahomet_n have_v great_a truth_n wisdom_n and_o charity_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o have_v great_a care_n of_o and_o zeal_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n than_o
