SECT. IV. From comparing Mahomet with Christ.
LET ns now compare the adjuncts and circumstances of each doctrine together, that we may see which is to be preferred to the other: and first let us examine their authors, Mahomet himself confessed that Jesus was the Messiah promised in the law and the prophets;763763 he is called by Mahomet himself the word,764764 mind,765765 and wisdom of God;766766 he is also said by him to have had no father amongst men.767767 Mahomet is acknowledged by his own disciples, to have been begotten according to the common course of nature.768768 235Jesus led an innocent life, against which no objection can be made. Mahomet was a long time a robber,769769 and always effeminate.770770 Jesus was taken up into heaven, by the confession of Mahomet;771771 but Mahomet remains in the grave. And now can any one doubt which to follow?
