Luthers Alcoran being a treatise first written in French by the learned Cardinall Peron, of famous memory, against the Hugenots of France, and translated into English by N.N.P. : the page following sheweth the particular contents of the booke, which consisteth of symbolismes, parallells, identities.

The 14. Symbolisme, Touching the want of Miracles. CHAP. XIV.

TO proceede: It is confessed, that Mahumet, and Luther so far agreed, that both of them acknowledge, they neuer performed any Miracle for the warranting of their doctrines. And first touching Mahumet, he plainly sayth in his Alcoran, That he neuer(1) 1.1 wrought any Miracle in confirmation of his Religion. And the like defect of Miracles is acknow∣ledged by the Lutherans, to wit, That nei∣ther Luther, nor any other of our Nouellists wrought euer any one Miracle, for the grea∣ter fortifying of their late appearing Fayth. Sorribly hereto diuers Protestant Deuines thus ingenuously speak of Luther:(2) 1.2 Mir••∣culum, quod Lutherus edulit, nall•• nudi••••••••s; We haue not heard that Luther did euer exhibite one Miracle. And if it should be vrged (as a Mi∣racle) the speedy spreading of Eutheranisme in so short a tyme, ouer so many places and Countries; this is acknowledged for no Mi∣racle both by(3) 1.3 Melancthon, and Illyricus;(4) 1.4 who maintaine, that Mahumetisme was from no lesse small a beginning, and yet was more generally for the tyme dispersed, then euer Lutheranisme was I.
