e Kingdom of God.***
As Persia hath many nomadic tribes and they are now(282) rebellious and
insurgent and infesting the highways, the maid-servants of the Merciful
cannot travel there, but men can. However, after that maid-servant hath
traveled in Japan, China, Russia, Germany, France, England, Austria,
Greece, Roumania, Bulgaria and India, perhaps peace and security will be
established in Persia and then thou canst also travel there.
