Alexander Ross, The Alcoran of Mahomet, translated out of Arabick into French, by the Sieur Du Ryer, Lord of Malezair, and resident for the French king, at Alexandria. And newly Englished, for the satisfaction of all that desire to look into the Turkish vanities. (1649)

knowledge of your sins, and shall chastise you after your demerits; he is always victorious and omnipotent. He shall send to observe your actions; and when you shall arrive at the hour of death, he shall dispatch his messengers, who shall not faile to execute his commands; the people shall repair to him, as to their Lord, he is extreamly exact to keep account.

He left him dismaid, and astonished in the midst of his voyage, having forsaken his companions, that shewed him the right way. God guideth men to the way of salvation. I will wholly resign my self to the pleasure
