MAHoMEDAN AND ECLIPSE.

NtSb Shs
About the year l7I5, when DR.. Hal.
ley's scheme and other astronomical
schemes of the great solar eclipse, which
foretoid the precise time of the begin
ming and ending of that eclipse, and that
1t would be total, was cried about every
where in London, there happened TO
be Mahometan envoy there, from Tripo>
Ii, who at first thought people distracted
for pretending to know so very exactly
when God Almighty would totally over
shadow the sun, which his own MusseI.
men were not able to do. He conclud.
ing thus, that God Almighty would never
reveal SO great secret to US unbelievers,
when he did not reveal il to those whom
ne esteemed true believers. However,
when the eclipse came precisely as those
schemes had forstold, he was then asked
by lord Forfar, what he now thought of
the matter His answer was, that they
must have their intelligence from the
devil that he was sure that God would
never correspond with such a wretched
set OF unbelievers as the English astrouo.
