Having by declarations hhe the above, convin- ced Ins too credulous countrymen that the Koran was a divine revelation, Moharamed at the expi- raton of four years from: the commencement of his impositions, began to win prosclytes without vuinber ; to whoin he continued to reveal portions of the Koran, which they acknowledged sind obey- ed, being. as they believed, the inaudates of thair Cod. But as it is not the design of this article to trace the rige and progress of the Maslein Re- ligion ; I will now proceed to give gome extracts from' Mohammed's Alégran. # As in nearly every system of false.teligion, we Tind occasionally some good amalgamated withi much evil; so it is in the advice, tenets and in- junetions fuculeated in the Koran ; among: which are the following, worthy to be observed in a christian community :- Scaxbar. ** 0 ye women | scorn not others, perhaps they repronches, and give no name to your neighhor that may displease him; cull him by Ins name, otherwise ye will disobey God.\ Gamsuine. * Oye lint believe in God! wine, games of bozard. idols, lots, and diviaations, are aboining» tions and filthy practices of the devil.
