There is a famous passage in the Alcoran, which looks as if Mahomet had been possessed of the notion we are now speaking of. |
He, on the contrary, maintained that the Alcoran could have no other meaning, than what he had attached to it. |
Thus it is not without wonder, how those learned Arabicks so tamely delivered up their belief unto the absurdities of the Alcoran. |
Indeed, I would have them meddle with nothing but their Alcoran, and let the world live quietly. |
The Saracen was not satisfied with this reason, nor with any other argument which Xavier used against the Alcoran. |
They also read the chapters of the Alcoran appointed for the burial of the dead. |
