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)

Doctrine: The Prophets said unto them, is there any doubt in the beliefe of the unity of God, Creator of Heaven, and Earth? he calleth you to remit your sins, and deferreth your punishment untill the day appointed: They answered, ye are men like unto us, will you hinder us to adore the Gods of our fathers? Produce arguments of strength sufficient to prove what you preach; the Prophet replyed, We are men as you are, but God giveth his grace to whom seemeth good to him; we are come to you through his permission, the true-believers ought to trust in him; wherefore should we not be resigned to the will of God, who hath guided us into the right way? we will continue in wel-doing, the righteous trust in his divine Majesty. Then said the Infidels unto them, we will banish you from our Country, if you be not of our Religion; but God inspired into them, that the Infidels should perish, and that they should inhabit the Land after them; that he would protect such as should have his fear before their eyes, and fear the paines that are prepared for the wicked. The Prophets were protected of God, and the obstinate wicked were destroyed: they shall be precipitated into Hell, and drink of water full of corruption, urine and bloud; death shall appear on all sides before their eyes, before they have swallowed that drink; they shall not dye in that miserie, they shall suffer yet greater paines. The good works which the wicked have done, are like to dust carryed away by an impetuous winde, they shall be unprofitable to them, and they shall be extirpated, because they depart from the truth: See they not that God hath created Heaven and Earth? that he can destroy them, and create in their place a new people, if it seeme good to him? This is not difficult to God, all things are known to him. The more impotent of them that have followed th wicked, shall say at the day of Judgment, we obeyed you, will you this day deliver us from the punishment of God? They shall answer, had God guided us into the right way, we had conducted you thither, we are alike miserable with you, we cry and lament in our miserie, but finde neither refuge nor protection. The Devill shall say unto them, what God hath promised
