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)

vomited against God, and your disobedience to his Commandments. God shall say to them, you are come before us without riches, and children, naked as you were created, and have cast behind your backs the instructions which we gave you; I see not with you the Idols you adored; you are separated from each other, and have forsaken them, that you estemed on earth, should have been your protectors; God separateth the good from the wicked, as the corn from the ear, and the stone from the Date: He causeth the living to spring from the dead, and the dead from the living: behold the works of God; why will you depart from his Law?

O people, there is come to you a light from your Lord to conduct you, he that seeth clearly shall receive advantage; and he that shall be blinde, shall continue his misery; I
