In the link the I gave and in another link I found, you can't read the full pages of the book, but you can perform a search for keywords. The google link tells you the total instances found, but only displays the paragraph where it is located for the first few instances. The other link doesn't show any paragraphs, but says how many times the term was found and on what pages.

I found the word Christian on 5 pages, Muslim in none, and Pagan in none, and equally once in a different sentence.

Here are the links I checked

I tried a word search as well on the last link and got this message:

"This item is not available online (@ Limited - search only) due to copyright restrictions"

I suppose one would probably have to have the actual book on hand. I'm trying to see if my bredren can possibly take a picture of the page, since he's got the actual book.

InI appreciaLOVE di I's patience!

In the second link. They don't give access to any text, but the word search works if the I searches for words that exist in the document.

Didn't somebody say it was in French? We know he preferred that to wretched English.

Page 136 contains all three words in french, although that page is on restricted view. A few other pages too

I have not forgotten about trying to find this quote. Garveys, di I is correct, my bredren did mention having the book, in French. I have not been able to get a copy or picture of that page yet, but am still trying.

Meanwhile, I too went into that link and typed in "pagan" in French (païen) and found that indeed, it IS there, but it will not allow me to see the full text.

Showing 1 - 1 of 1 Results for païen - p.136 - 1 matching term

Typed in "Christian" in French (chrétien) and it appears twice on the same page. Typed in "Muslim" (Musulman) and it appears one, on the same page again.

Considering the quote "Yes I am Christian, but as King I am equally Christian, Muslim and Pagan", we can see that "Christian" is mentioned twice, muslim once and pagan once.

Until I can actually SEE the quote in the actual book, I won't "swear" by it, but leave it to say that, based on the above findings, I can pretty much deduct that this is the saying in French.

More to come as I continue this research...
