Since, however, I see that this work of refuting that sect has already been undertaken by countless men of the highest genius, and it has been diligently demonstrated by the authorities of those writers who were of the highest sanctity and lived within the four-hundredth year after Christ was born that what is preached and believed today by the Ceneuangelistas Empty-gospellers is alien to the religion of Christ and contrary to it, I did not wish to proceed by the same path. For what else would it be than beating the air? For those who rely on authorities, when they have fallen away from the church, have their own interpretations, by which they evade everything in the manner of the Jews. Nor did I wish or was I able to follow reason in all things, since the matter concerns things established by the decrees of the apostles and the ancient church. But I proposed through a certain middle way by analogy, from similar movements, what has followed in the past, and what great ruin has happened to the world from those who crept in by the same way as the Ceneuangelistas, and obtained a certain power over the rest of the peoples. When I show that the whole world has nothing of greater ruin than the Alcoranum Koran, by taking a few axioms from both sides, I will show that its author Muhamedem Muhammad clearly proceeded by the same way as the Luteranos Lutherans and introduced the same propositions against the church of Christ which the Ceneuangelistas now strive tooth and nail to persuade and retain. For thus it will become plain not only what danger hangs over Germany but over the Christian world from this faction. So that at least those who are not frightened by the ruin of the Christian religion, which is all but afflicted among its own, may be warned by those movements and public factions which are accustomed to be ignited daily from similar crimes.
