[495] Here the author shows how the Latin word “_filius_” is to be written in Arabic or Persian characters. [496] Here the author shows how the Latin word “_Deus_” is to be written in Arabic or Persian characters. [497] I render here, by “abstract sense,” the Persian word حيثيت _hâysîyat_, which in the Dictionary is interpreted “ubiquity, universality, capacity, merit, conditional proposition, examination, etc.” * * * * * SECTION THE THIRD: OF THE WORKS OF THE CHRISTIANS.――Ten commandments are established in the Gospel; three of them relate to God, and seven others to the servants of God: 1. thou shalt love the Lord thy God above all things; 2. thou shalt not swear by the name of God for the sake of an argument, that is, thou shalt accustom thyself to the truth; when this quality shall be manifest in thee, thou wilt never have occasion for an oath. The wise master of secrets, the king Naser Khusró says: “At any time speak nothing else but truth, that thou mayst not have need of an oath.” 3. keep the holy days, that is the Sunday and the other sanctified days; 4. honor thy father and thy mother; 5. thou shalt not kill: this means, evidently, thou shalt not kill a living being at all; but they have interpreted it that only the animal which is a _private_ property ought not to be killed, such a one as is serviceable, and in life, or after death, may be of use. The true sense is, that we ought not only not to kill our brother (and such is any son of Adam), but even not hurt him by any deed or word; 6. thou shalt not commit fornication, that is, with a woman not thy own, be she married or without a husband; 7. thou shalt not steal; 8. thou shalt not calumniate nor lie: in this command enters that, if any thing bad concerning somebody be a secret, although we know it as a certainty, we ought nevertheless to keep it concealed, and not to divulge it, except the bad thing were against religion and faith, or tended against the king; 9. thou shalt not covet another’s wife; 10. thou shalt not covet another’s good.
