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)

no more to me of the unjust, they shall be drowned; the passengers derided him and his Arke; he said to them, ye scoff at me, I will laugh at you, and we shall see them that shall best understand; he whom God shall chastise, shall be covered with shame, and perpetually tormented. When our will was to destroy that people, and the light of the morning appeared, and the water boyled in Noah’s pot, we commanded him to charge his Arke with two beasts of every kinde and Species; all creatures were destroyed, except those, of which we before made mention, as well such as believed, as them that did not believe, and that but a few: Noah said unto them, ascend the Arke in the name of God, who shall cause it to swimme, and to anchor; the Lord is gracious and mercifull towards us.

I shall be in the number of the miserable. God said, oh Noah! descend from the Arke with Salvation,
