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)

Job, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Zachary, St. John, Jesus, the Son of Mary, Eliah, Ismael, Joshua, Jonas, & Lot; we gratified them above the residue of the world; we elected their Fathers, Brothers, and Progenie, and guided them in the right way: Thus God guideth whom he seeth good: Men before adored Idols, and believed there were many gods; nevertheless he blotted out their past errors, when they were converted. If they slander them that have knowledge of the Scriptures, and of Prophesies, will give power over their persons to men that shall mislead them with the Infidels: Those whom God guideth, believe in the Unity of his divine Majesty.

Who more unjust, than he that saith, he will cause to descend from heaven, things like to those which God inspired into his Prophets? When thou shalt see the wicked at the point of death, and the Angels stretching forth their hands to take their souls: say unto them, This day the torments of hell shall be the punishment of the blasphemies that yee have vomited
