1 Mahomet did fully acknowledge the truth of the Old Testament, and of the New; yet the things which he delivers, are contrary to both;¹ which confirms our religion, and shows the ⟨p. 83⟩falseness of theirs; for he did acknowledge, that Moses received the Old Testament from God, and so did the Prophets, and he repeats most of the story; he acknowledgeth the creation of Adam, and the eating of the forbidden fruit, and the whole story of Abraham, and his calling, and the offering of his son Isaac; and also, he acknowledgeth the whole History of Moses, how God appeared to him, and how he went into Egypt, and of the ten Plagues that he sent upon the Egyptians, and the wonders that he wrought going down into Canaan; and so of all the rest, naming the book of Psalms, and quoting things out of it; and of Deuteronomy, acknowledging many of the Prophets, as Elijah, Samuel, Job and Jonah; and he confesseth that there were many more, which he did not name: and so he acknowledgeth the New Testament likewise; he acknowledgeth that Christ was borne of a Virgin, and that by the mighty power of God, without man; that he healed diseases; and that he received the Gospel from God himself; and that God gave power to him more than to all the Prophets that were before him, and that he was the word and power of God, and that all, that do believe in him, shall be be saved; and they shall follow him in white garments, and that he, which believes it not, shall be damned; and he acknowledgeth the New Testament to bear witness to the Old; and he acknowledgeth the resurrection, the coming of John Baptist; and he speaks very honourably of Christ, except only in two things:
