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)

Nation traduced the Prophet that we sent them, and we made them serve for examples to posterity, and destroyed the wicked. We sent Moses and his brother Aaron to Pharoah, and his Doctors, with our miracles, and with most intelligible reasons; they arose against the Faith, they tormented the children of Israel, and said, shall we believe in a man like to our selves, of them that obey us?

Be not this day resolute, yee shall not be protected of us. Our Commandments are taught you, nevertheless ye are returned upon your steps, and are risen against the Faith, and in discoursing by night, withdrew your selves from the righteous. Consider they not the words [of the Alcoran?] Doth it contain any thing that hath not been ordained to their predecessors? Know they not the Prophet that God hath sent to them? Wherefore will they not acknowledg him? Will they say that
