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)

shall not give you access to God; such as shall perform good works, shall be rewarded, and shall live eternally in the delights of Paradise; they that shall endeavour to suppress our Law, shall be cast headlong into the fire of hell: Say unto them, my Lord giveth, and taketh away wealth as to him seemeth good; he maketh vain the alms which ye shall give, if ye observe not his Law; he is the rich of the rich: Be thou mindful of the day, when I shall assemble the Idolaters, and shall say to the Angels, behold them who have adored you; they shall say, praised be God, thou alone art our master and protector; they adored not us, they worshipped the devill; the greatest part of them believed in his word, this day they are not able to benefit, or hurt one another; they will say to the unjust, taste the torments of hell fire, which ye would not believe. They said when thou didst preach unto them our Commandments, this man would hinder us to worship the gods of our fathers, he is a blasphemer. They have said, That the Alcoran is but Sorcery and Magick, and reade not the books that we have sent unto them. Their predecessors did like them; they traduced our Apostles, and hindred them to preach the tenth part of what we had inspired into them; they traduced them, but how were they chastised? Say unto them, I preach to you to pray to God two by two, or alone, or in company; ye shall know one day, that your friend Mahomet is not possessed of the devill, and that he preacheth to you the pains of hell; I require no reward of you for mine exhortations, God shall reward me, he seeth all. Say unto them, God teacheth his Prophets the truth, and what is to come; the truth appeared, and falshood was discovered, and the lyars were deprived of his mercy; if I wilfully go astray, or if I act what God hath enjoyned me, this shall be for my soul, God heareth, and is present at all things. Thou shalt see the Infidels filled with fear, and affrighted when they shall come out of their sepulchres; they shall not escape the punishment of their incredulity; they shall then say, That they believe in the Alcoran, but I will shew to them from far the law which they have despised in the world; they shall be precipitated with their ignorance,
