The Paradise of Mahomet, which he promifeth unto his Follewers.

THey shall be, saith he, in a Paradise watered with fair and delicate Foun∣tains, which shall run so clear as if they were melted Christal.

They shall rest in the shade, or refresh∣ing coolness of beautiful trees, full of leaves and branches, which by their moti∣on shall cause a pleasant tune.

They shall eat of all manner of sweet and pleasant fruits in all seasons, and shall be solaced with the chanting of Ten thousand little Birds, which shall warble amongst their branches; and this shall bemingled with the consort of most har∣monious instruments, and of most melodi∣ous voices.

Their Robes shall be most magnificent, and triumphant, as of silk wrought with gold, and chased with the richest stones and pearls.

They shall lye in Beds embroidered with gold, and hung the corners and Pillows

with great Pearls, and the Curtains ador∣ned with inestimable and innumerable pre∣cious stones.

That every one shall have his marvel∣lous beautiful women, with their Breasts wantonly swelling, and Eyes like jet en∣chased in silver, whiter then snow, as big as good big eggs.

That with these they shall feast every day, and use all manner of sports and re∣creations possible, and shall be served in their Feasts with fair and great vessels of gold and christal, which shall be set with most precious Jewels, and shall be mini∣stred unto by the hands of fair Boyes, more polished then the pearls themselves, and more sweet then Amber-greece, or the most oderiferous Perfumes of Arabia, &c.
