the things already said by me above are most true. I can easily demonstrate this from the one who ought to be called antichristotatos most antichristian (if it is permitted to invent an apt word). For when we begin to estimate similar things from past events and their outcomes, we will easily perceive where those things are going to end that have the same origin and progress. No plague has ever arisen in the world more immense than the Muhammadan persuasion, for if miracles and prestidigitations have made an accession to it, and it has found a notorious robber, famous for magic arts, to confirm that impiety, nothing more pernicious can be added to the dogma. For whatever sin can be committed against the honor of God (insofar as it is permitted to mix plausible and false things with true ones) and against the destruction of nature and public peace is abundantly persuaded in it. I do not want to use the comparison in all things so as to affirm that the condition of the Ceneuangelistae Empty-gospellers and the Muhammadans is entirely similar, since the former still retain Christ in word, while the latter deny his divinity and death, but I want to leave it to be conjectured from the very principles, from these things that have happened in the past, what the future outcome will be. For neither Muhammad nor any other heretic immediately revealed himself as such from his very birth, but in posterity the greatest part of the poison, covered by a certain appearance of truth in the author, revealed and spread itself most widely. So that it may be most clearly liquid how the origin and progress agree in every way with the faction, I will propose a few propositions and, as it were, axioms taken from the Alcoran Koran into the middle, and finally I will compare what is the difference between these and the Muhammadans.
