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)

the true Law, said, oh people! I fear lest ye be chastised, as have been your predecessors, as were the people of Noah, Aad, Temod, and those that were after them; God will not do injustice to men, I fear for you the day of Judgment, a day, when ye shall rise again with terror, to render accompt of your actions; he whom God shall seduce shall find none to guide him.

He sent his punishment upon the lineage of Pharaoh, they deserved to be precipitated into the fire of Hell, they shall burn evening and morning. It shall be
