Excerpts: على اليهود ابو . . . من هذا الوجه والمماليك يجددوا تقبيل الارض . . . خروج الامر العالي ايده الله بحسن التوفيق بكف ضرر . . . ـهم ومنع ايمانه(؟) عنهم . . . ليتخذوا(؟) المماليك بذلك السبيل الى القوام . . . وتطمن قلوبهم وليغتنم المولا بذلك الاجر . . . العظيم والارا العالية لا زالت نافذة ماضية فضل(؟) اليه(؟).
