CHAP. LXXXVI. The Chapter of the Starr, or of the North Star, contain∣ing seventeen Ʋerses, written at Mecca.

IN the name of God, gracious and mercifull. I swear by Heaven, and the Star that teacheth men the way, I will not tell thee by what star; by the starr full of brightnesse; that every person hath a guardian (which observeth the good and the evill that it acteth;) Doth not man consi∣der of what he is created? he is made of a little sprinkled water that issueth out of the body of man and woman; God shall make him to rise again at the day of Judgment, and none shall be able to protect or defend him from the wrath of his divine Majesty. I swear by heaven that re∣turneth the rain, by the earth that openeth it self, and re∣ceiveth it, to produce its fruits, that the Alcoran distin∣guisheth good from evill, and that it was not sent in vain. The unbelievers conspire against the Prophet, but God shall turn their conspiracie against them, and they shal not know it. Be thou patient and a while endure the Infidels.
