The Book of the Concord of the Koran or Law of Muhammad and the Evangelists

they are a laughingstock to themselves, as if they were companions with equal power. For when Luther strove to recall them from their opinions, they drove out nail with nail and spirit with spirit. And since it is free to believe whatever one pleases under the guidance of the spirit, it is enough to say that the spirit taught it better. In this one thing the Ceneuangelistae Empty-gospellers seem to themselves superior to other mortals: that they easily compensate for other things with alms, and bestow upon public schools those revenues, or at least a part of them, which they have snatched from the church. But in both parts, the Muslims are far superior, even if they deny the divinity and death of Christ. For although the sole dominion of the Turks, in the name of wanderers and those of another religion, amounts to three hundred thousand, besides those who act everywhere in poverty at the very least, nevertheless no one lacks lodging by night or copious food by day. It is not, therefore, to be believed immediately under the pretext of alms that the true faith is held wherever they are given, otherwise many heretics would be better than the church. That the Ceneuangelistae do no harm is a political matter, for these things are preserved by natural law. However, the multitude of errors persuaded by them under this pretext of charity, love, and faith is so great that, if you except a few, whatever all the Antichrists have ever taught has a defender today. And there is no doubt that, just as someone arose who denied that Peter was in Rome, soon from this faction will emerge someone who publicly denies that Christ was in Jerusalem.
