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)

God, and said, Oh Salhe! Let us now see the punishment that thou didst preach, if thou art of the Prophets; at the same time, an Earthquake, with thunder surprized them, and they remained dead as carkasses in their houses. Salhe forsooke them, and said, Oh ye people! I declared to you the will of God with fidelity, but ye detest them that affect you, and give you good counsels. Remember thou how Lot spake to the people, saying, will you daily defile your selves with whoredome? and with a filthinesse that was never yet seen in the world by any your Predecessors?

Then said their Teachers to the people, if you follow Chaib, you are damned; not long after an Earth-quake, and Thunder surprized them, and in the morning they were found dead in their houses; such as belyed Chaib, found no safety
