Use the passage below to answer all parts of the question that follows.
“The generous heart of the Emperor is temperamentally inclined towards the well-being of all classes of people friend and foe; relatives and strangers are all equal in his farsighted view. This equal consideration for all is the best method for the physicians of bodies, and should be highly appropriate for the physician of the soul as well. Why should this beneficence then not be the distinctive feature of His Excellency, the chief physician of the chronic ailments of the human soul? He has noticed the increasing conflict between the different sects of Muslims on the one hand and the Jews and the Hindus on the other—the sagacious mind of His Excellency then decided to arrange the translations of the sacred books of all the communities in the empire, so that with the blessing of the most revered and perfect soul of the age, they both refrain from indulging in hostility and disputes.”
