3. The Mahometan delusion is so gross, that it seemeth vain to say any more against it, than it saith it self; unless it be to those who are bred up in such darkness, as to hear of nothing else, and never to see the Sun which shineth on the Christian world; and withal are under the terror of the sword, which is the strongest reason of that barbarous Sect.
