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)

I am your Tutor, neither observe I what you do; Thus do I declare the mysteries of my Law, the wicked shall in the end confesse that thou hast taught my Commandments to such as inclined to learne them.

If thou incline to the will of most men, they will seduce thee, they believe but their own opinions, and are lyars. Thy Lord knoweth them that erre, and such as follow the
