Therefore it is no marvel, though turks or mohammedans prevail very much with their mouth, sins amongst christians, victories & the felicity of this world is of so great force in manner with all men. And yet they excel with their mouth & boastings, in the thing it self and in verity. For although the Turks be victorious, yet is their religion most false, most wicked and most absurd.
Therfore it is no maruel, though turkes or mahometanes preuaile very much wt their mouth, sins emōgs christians, victories & the felicitie of this world is of so great force in maner wt al men. And yet they excell with their mouth & boastinges, in the thing it self and in veritie. For although the Turkes be victoriouse, yet is their religion moste false, most wicked and moste absurde.
And corporally, how those things may be expounded, there is no man that seeth not, which knoweth the Turkish histories. The Mohammedans burn with fire and brimstone, for hardly is there any other nation, which hath so wasted the ⟨p. 275⟩world with fire, as this. Which way so ever they turn them, all things burn with a light fire, all is full of smoke. Their princes are lions, & their government is like lions, all things tyrannical. They command cruel things, neither cometh there any other thing out of their mouth, than that is bloody. Therefore have many of them called themselves the wrath of God & the whip or scourge of god. And verily this wrath of the lord followeth corrupt doctrine and swerving from the faith. With these three plagues fire, smoke and brimstone the third part of the world is slain and destroyed.
And corporally, how those thinges may be expoūded, ther is no man that seeth not, whiche knoweth the Turk•sh histories. The Mahometanes burne with fire and brimstone, for hardely is ther any other nation, whiche hath so wasted the ⟨p. 275⟩world with fire, as this. Which waie so euer thei tourne thē, al thinges burne with a light fire, all is full of smoke. Their princes are lions, & their gouernement is like lions, al things tirānical. They cōmaunde cruel thinges, nother cometh ther any other thinge out of their mouthe, than that is blouddy. Therfore haue many of them called themselues the wrath of God & the whippe or scourge of god. And verely this wrath of the lord followeth corrupte doctrine and swaruing frō the faith. With these three plagues fire, smoke and brimstone the third parte of the world is slayne and distroyed.
